Phosphor based authentication system
InactiveUS20100102250A1Eliminate risk of damageMinimize risk of damageOptical radiation measurementDecorative surface effectsPhotoluminescencePhosphor
A phosphor (photo-luminescent) material based authentication system in which a blend (mixture) of at least two, preferably three or more, phosphor materials are used as a photo-luminescent security marking which is applied to or incorporated within an article / document to be authenticated. Preferably, the phosphor materials are each excitable by “eye safe” excitation radiation comprising visible light of wavelength 380 nm to 780 nm. Moreover, when excited the security marking preferably also emits visible light thereby minimizing any risk of damage to an operator's eye in the event of accidental exposure to the excitation radiation and / or light generated by the photo-luminescent marking. The authenticity of the article / document can be authenticated by verification of the composition of the phosphor by exciting the marking and comparing one or more selected parameters of light emitted by the security marking with corresponding parameters of the characteristic emission spectrum of the authentic phosphor blend.

A method is provided for transferring a pattern from a template (1) to an object (12) in an imprint process, using a two-step process. The first step includes contacting a pattern of the template surface with a polymer material comprising one or more Cyclic Olefin Copolymers (COCs), to produce a flexible polymer replica having a structured surface with an inverse of the pattern of the template surface. In a second step, after releasing the flexible polymer replica from the template, the inverse pattern of the flexible polymer replica is pressed into a resist layer on a substrate, to imprint a replica of the pattern of the template surface in therein.

Acidizing stimulation method using viscoelastic gelling agent
InactiveUS20050137095A1Minimize the risk of damageReduce iron hydroxide precipitationFluid removalFlushingFluid viscositySURFACTANT BLEND
A method of acidizing a subterranean formation involves the use of a composition containing a solution of a viscoelastic amidoamine oxide surfactant and an HF-containing acidizing solution. The composition typically contains from about 0.1 to about 8 weight percent of surfactant solution and from about 92 to about 99.9 weight percent of HF-containing acidizing solution. The composition is pumped into the subterranean formation. As the acid reacts, the composition viscosifies and becomes a self-diverting agent created in-situ. When the acid is further spent, the fluid viscosity declines eventually returning to a low viscosity state, allowing for easy cleanup. The process allows for selective acidizing of less permeable zones of the formation and more uniform stimulation of the hydrocarbon bearing formulation.

Automatic combustion control for a gas turbine
InactiveUS6877307B2Minimize risk of damageMinimize damageContinuous combustion chamberGas turbine plantsIntermediate frequencyAutomotive engineering
A method of controlling a gas turbine engine to provide protection against damaging pressure transients in the combustion process and to ensure compliance with emission requirements. Pressure fluctuations are monitored in a plurality of frequency ranges, and unacceptable pressure transients in different frequency ranges trigger different corrective actions. Unacceptable pressure transients in low and intermediate frequency ranges trigger a change in the pilot fuel fraction of a dual-mode combustor, while unacceptable pressure transients in a high frequency range trigger immediate power reduction in the engine. A control system for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of timers for defining consecutive time periods for alternate monitoring of pressure transients and not monitoring pressure transients. Corrective action is taken only if unacceptable pressure transients are detected in each of the monitored time periods. As the combustion process is slowly adjusted to optimize emissions, the system will respond rapidly to an indication of an unacceptable dynamic condition.

An electrostatic chuck is provided having a plurality of small electrostatic structures for holding an electrically conductive workpiece forming a plate of a capacitor. Each electrostatic structure includes a first thermally conductive single-crystal dielectric sheet, and a first electrode in sheet form sandwiched between the first dielectric sheet and a second dielectric surface. The workpiece, typically a conductive or semiconductive wafer, is juxtaposed to the first dielectric sheet of each electrostatic structure and forms a second electrode. The second dielectric sheet, if thick, is used as a thermally conducting base plate which can be attached to a low pressure reactor. If the second dielectric is a thin sheet, then it is mounted to a thermally conductive metal base plate through which heat can be controllably conducted. The resultant electrostatic structure may be brazed to the metal base plate if the thermal expansion characteristics of the two elements are sufficiently matched. The first thermally conductive dielectric sheet is preferably formed of sapphire (Al2O3), which is sufficiently thermally conductive to allow for rapid heat transfer between the base plate and the workpiece. The first electrodes of different electrostatic structures are held at different electrical potentials (typically of several thousand volts difference) and a charge is maintained by this potential difference between selected electrostatic structures.

An ultra-miniature electrochemical cell and related fabrication method. The cell includes a cell case having a first cell electrode attached to an inside wall thereof. An electrode-header assembly is also disposed in the cell case. The electrode-header assembly includes an electrode plug providing a second cell electrode, a header assembly attached to the cell case, and a current collector embedded in the electrode plug and extending through the header assembly.

This method facilitates the efficient, repeatable fabrication of small uniform electrodes and subsequent attachment of the electrodes to their associated current collectors. The method thus enables the production of electrodes having single millimeter thicknesses or less. Moreover, the method is compatible with many primary cell electrode materials, thereby allowing the production of primary power sources having a form factor and dimensions suitable for percutaneous injection.
