Abstract: High density plasma is produced in a long cylindrical cavity (42) by the excitation of a high frequency whistler wave within the cavity. The cylindrical cavity, and hence the plasma, is embedded in a high magnetic field (Bo), with magnetic lines of force passing axially (longitudinally) through the cavity. The magnetic field has an electron cyclotron frequency ( omega ce) associated therewith that is much greater than the wave frequency ( omega ) associated with the whistler wave. In one embodiment, electromagnetic energy is coupled axially into the cylindrical cavity (40) using a resonant cavity (30'), which coupled energy excites the whistler wave. In another embodiment, a plasma formation tube (102) is positioned coaxially within a cylindrical cavity (104), which cylindrical cavity includes a resonant cavity (142) at one end thereof. The plasma is created without using electrodes; and the excitation of the whistler wave is achieved at a high Q value.

Abstract: A distributed microwave window (12) couples microwave power in the HE11 mode between a first large diameter waveguide (32) and a second large diameter waveguide (34), while providing a physical barrier between the two waveguides, without the need for any transitions to other shapes or diameters. The window comprises a stack of alternating dielectric (14) and hollow metallic (16) strips, brazed together to form a vacuum barrier. The vacuum barrier is either transverse to or tilted with respect to the waveguide axis. The strips are oriented to be perpendicular to the transverse electric field of the incident microwave power. The metallic strips are tapered on both sides of the vacuum barrier, which taper serves to funnel the incident microwave power through the dielectric strips (14). A suitable coolant flows through a coolant channel (18) that passes through the metallic strips (16). The microwave window further includes an impedance matching transition (15) between the tapered metal vanes and insulating dielectric material used to create the vacuum barrier of the window. Such impedance matching transition comprises one or more quarter wave ( lambda /4) matching sections in the individual vane structure that achieves the required impedance match. The effect of such impedance match is to render the dielectric material, e.g., saphire, non resonant. Such non-resonance significantly widens the bandwidth of the window.

Abstract: A hollow, elongated, micropipette, which is specially adapted for use in spectrometers and which has an inner wall on which a coating containing a reagent has been deposited, is provided. The reagent is selected from among those that interact with one or more compounds in a sample solution, which is introduced into the micropipette, in order to permit the compounds to be detected by virtue of light absorption or emission by the complexes formed upon interaction of the reagent with the compound of interest in the sample. Upon introduction of the sample solution into the micropipette, a sufficient amount of the reagent in the coating dissolves in the solution and reacts, either directly or indirectly with a compound or compounds of interest in the solution to render such compound detectable and to permit quantification of the concentration of the compound in the sample. The resulting solution is held in the micropipette for analysis of the light absorption or light emission characteristics of the solution to determine the composition of the solution or the concentration of a particular constituent of the solution. In preferred embodiments, the coating on the inner surface of the micropipette includes a binding agent or adhesive that delays, preferably for about 5 to 15 sec, the dissolution of the reagent in the solution.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a bulk RF absorber (100) and a method for constructing the same. The absorber is composed of multiple sheets of a reticulated dielectric material (102), each sheet being coated with at least one layer of radiation absorbing material to create a radiation absorption gradient (106) across a width dimension of the sheet. The sheets are stacked with their respective absorption gradients aligned to form the bulk absorber. In one embodiment, the coated sheets are constructed by lengthwise feeding the dielectric material through a sputtering region and interposing a partial mask between the sputtering material and the face of the dielectric material. The contour of the edge of the mask (108), the sputtering rate and feed rate determine the resulting absorption gradient of the coated dielectric material. In another embodiment, a dipping process is used to coat each sheet with radiation absorbing material.

Abstract: A supercritical water oxidation reactor is alternately supplied with a feed stream and a flushing stream. The feed stream contains organic and inorganic materials. The organic materials are oxidized under supercritical conditions in the reactor and the inorganic materials precipitate out of solution under the same conditions. The flushing stream is a solution in which the inorganic material is soluble. More than one supercritical water oxidation reactor may be connected so that the feed stream is alternately supplied to each reactor. During the period when the feed stream is being supplied to a reactor the effluent from the reactor is cooled to a temperature at which inorganic precipitates are soluble and is then supplied as a flushing stream to one or more of the remaining connected supercritical water oxidation reactors.

Abstract: Process for reducing NO content of gaseous streams and more particularly the NOx content of a gaseous stream containing a significant amount of NO by scrubbing with an aqueous liquid stream in a packed bed tower or the like (15). An aqueous solution of urea, which can have a saturation concentration of urea, is employed which contains at least about 12 percent nitric acid as an oxidizing agent, which effectively oxidizes NO to NO2 thus increasing the total conversion of NOx to HNO2, which reacts with urea in aqueous solution to form H2O, NO2, and CO2.

Abstract: Methods for making fiber-reinforced carbon, ceramic or metal matrix composites using electrophoretic infiltration of an array or preform of electrically insulating fibers positioned adjacent a target electrode in an appropriate liquid slurry. The slurry contains a dispersion of micron- or submicron-sized particles, usually of elemental or ceramic materials, which are suitably electrically charged in the slurry, employing a surfactant if necessary. Application of an appropriate voltage causes charged particles to migrate toward the target electrode following a path that causes them to infiltrate the interstices of the fiber array which is usually formed of woven or aligned tows of minute fibers about 5 to 15 microns in diameter. The particles initially deposit on the electrode with subsequent particles aggregating on top of those particles, the process continuing to form a growth front of deposited material growing away from the electrode surface. The resultant deposit of aggregating particles grows through the interstices of the fibrous preform from one surface of the preform to the other, filling voids with matrix material. Following such infiltration, the impregnated particles are consolidated by hot-pressing and/or by subjection to CVI.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for forming prestressed concrete members (40) wherein a pressure-containing casing (50) is disposed around the outside surface of the concrete member (42) and is spaced therefrom so that a cavity (56) is formed between the casing (50) and the outside surface of the concrete member (42). A pressurized medium is injected into the cavity (56) between the casing (50) and concrete member (42) at a pressure sufficient to apply the required prestressed compressive force to the outside surface of the concrete member (42). The pressurized medium changes form by hardening or solidifying after injection. Examples of solid pressurized mediums include cement-like grouts and plastic, and epoxy resin materials. The cavity (56) may be formed by peeling the concrete member (42) and casing (50) away from each other as the pressurized medium is injected therebetween.
