Welded flange connection

A welded flange connection and methods and apparatus for producing the connection are disclosed. A weld insert is disposed between the flared ends of abutted plastic pipe or plastic-lined pipe sections. The weld insert includes an annular support disc having a resistance heating element disposed at least about the inner circumference of the disc. When held tightly between the flared ends of abutted pipe sections power can be applied to the heating element to produce sufficient heat to temporarily raise the temperature of the adjacent surfaces of the flared sections of pipe above their melting point. When the weld is cooled, a strong, fluid-tight, thermoplastic weld is formed. A welded flange connection using the weld insert of the present invention effectively and efficiently produces high quality, fluid-tight connections in plastic pipe and plastic-lined piping systems. Further, by reapplying power to the insert which remains embedded in the weld, the method of the present invention permits the weld to be easily disassembled when necessary for repairs to the pipe system.

Adhesion and/or encapsulation of silicon carbide-based semiconductor devices on ceramic substrates

A SiC die with Os and / or W / WC / TiC contacts and metal conductors is encapsulated either alone or on a ceramic substrate using a borosilicate (BSG) glass that is formed at a temperature well below upper device operating temperature limits but serves as a stable protective layer above the operating temperature (over 1000° C., preferably >1200° C.). The glass is preferably 30-50% B2O3 / 70-50% SiO2, formed by reacting a mixed powder, slurry or paste of the components at 460°-1000° C. preferably about 700° C. The die can be mounted on the ceramic substrate using the BSG as an adhesive. Metal conductors on the ceramic substrate are also protected by the BSG. The preferred ceramic substrate is AlN but SiC / AlN or Al2 03 can be used.

Kettle valve assembly with retained O ring

A valve assembly uses an O ring contained within a void such that the outer edges of the valve assembly reach the outer mid section of the O ring. A kettle for brewing beer or heating other fluid is drilled so as to accommodate the disclosed valve. The O ring is pressed and held against the outside surface of the kettle wall. A retaining nut placed within the kettle further secures the valve to the kettle. As the surface of the kettle heats during use, the contained O ring retains sufficient contact with the valve and kettle so as to prevent leakage.

Spectroscopic measurements and super-resolution imaging by supracence

Application of a new light-molecule interaction in which molecules enable emission of photons with more energy than that of the absorbed photons achieves higher resolution than fluorescence imaging. This emission phenomenon is termed supracence and is applied to obtain more information about the structure and properties of a specimen than currently possible with fluorescence imaging techniques. Because supracence originates from chemical bonds, any structure that contains chemical bonds meets the necessary condition to potentially emit supracence. Super spectral resolution images are achieved by selectively exciting a target molecule to suprace without exciting another fluorophore that has absorption and emission rather close to the target.
