Sputter coating
en
A sputter system as illustrated in Fig. 2 has an anode which in operation includes the surface to be coated by sputtering a cathode which in operation includes the target which is the source of coating material, an electric field generating means between anode and cathode and magnetic field generating means which with the electric field contain electrons in the target area for increasing ionising collisions, the magnetic field generating means including magnetic material which extends towards the anode beyond the surface supporting the target on its side remote from the anode and preferably by more than the height of the original target body (which will be destroyed by the sputtering operation). In one embodiment the magnetic material forms north and south pole pieces, a pair of pole pieces of opposite polarity extending closer to each other in the region closer to the anode than in the region remote from the anode. This modification concentrates the magnetic lines of force to the region on the side of the target facing the anode, rather than within the target body. <IMAGE>

Oil is arranged to be circulated through the heat exchanger 6. In use, the infra-red heater 4 heats by radiation oil circulated through the heat exchanger 6. The heated oil is then led to a flat-plate heat exchanger 8 wherein heat passes to circulating water. The circulating water is led to a static water vessel 80 and subsequently via a motorised valve 92 to radiator units (not shown) of a central heating system. Additionally, the heated oil is led in parallel through a heat exchanger (not shown) disposed within a water tank thereby to heat water in the tank. The valve 92 is only opened when the water in vessel 80 reaches a predetermined temperature. The heat exchangers 6, 8 may be surrounded by heat insulating material or the apparatus may be enclosed by an air heating casing. <IMAGE>

A seal 28 at the open end surrounds a piston rod 26 connected to the plunger 16. A check valve 40 allows free flow from the low pressure chamber to the high pressure chamber so that the plunger can move rapidly in the projecting direction. A restricted passage (34, Fig 2 not shown) allows only slow flow of oil in the opposite direction to prevent rapid retracting movement of the plunger. An oil reservoir 30, has a passage in communication with the low pressure chamber and an opening 32 for collecting oil from the oil mist within the engine and surrounding the tensioner. Working oil for the tensioner is replenished from the oil mist. <IMAGE>

Methods and apparatus for using micro-organisms to treat organic material found in waste water
en
Organic material in waste water is treated by aerobic digestion by bacteria in a reaction vessel. A proportion of the bacteria in the reaction vessel are deactivated to modify the concentration of active bacteria. This deactivation is accomplished by providing a region of high mechanical shear stress in the liquid so that flocs of bacteria are broken up. Resulting loose bacterial cells and small doc particles encourage an increase in the population of higher life forms, protozoa and rotifers, which predate on these lone cells and small particles. By controlling the level of predation by higher life forms, the effective death rate of bacteria is increased so that the overall biomass in the reaction zone can be maintained constant even though sufficient organic material is supplied in the waste water for the bacterial population to respire as in a growth phase. The resulting high respiration rate minimises the overall production of sludge without excessive residence times in the reaction zone.

Container neck with multiple start thread, and cap closure
en
A container 10 has a neck portion with a multiple start thread formation 14-16, the arrangement being such that there are at least four complete turns of thread at any one point. In the example there are seven separate spiral threads producing four complete turns at any one point on the neck. Also provided is a portion of larger dia. than the portion bearing the threads, this larger portion having ratchet formations 12 around its periphery. These ratchet formations cooperate with similar formations on the inside surface of a tear off tamper band 25 of a cap closure 21 attached to the neck. The cap has a plurality of spiral thread formation on the inner surface of its skirt 22 and the cap is flexible such that it can be pushed axially onto the neck, the threads riding over one another and the tamper band ratchet formations engaging one another axially. The cap can be rotated to tighten it, whereupon the ratchets ride over one another but on opening the ratchets engage immovably and the tamper band is broken away. Thereafter the cap can be screwed on in the normal way, this being made easier by the multiple start arrangement. Thus the cap is push-on screw-off, but of course can be screwed on and off if needed.

Ultrawideband antenna
en
An ultrawideband transverse electromagnetic mode horn antenna for use at high voltages, comprises a pulse generator (1) and two transmission horns (12, 18) containing different dielectric media. The interface (30) between the dielectric media is configured so that a signal from the generator is incident on the interface at an angle substantially equal to the Brewster angle, thereby maintaining a good impedance match across the interface. A further advantage of the arrangement is that the TEM wavefront is preserved through the antenna section allowing operation at fast pulse risetime (less than 200ps) for short duration (several ns) at high voltage.

976,819. Lithium fluoride; cryolite. KAISER ALUMINUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION. Aug. 21, 1962, No. 32108/62. Heading C1A. Lithium is recovered from spent carbonaceous linings of electrolytic cells which have been exposed to lithium-containing electrolytes by crushing the linings and slurrying with an alkaline material to produce a cryolitic liquor and a black mud containing lithium values, aluminous material, and fluorinous material, the black mud is treated with a mixture containing lime to form lithium hydroxide which is then reacted with a fluoridic material to precipitate lithium fluoride. Fig. 1 shows the preferred method of operating the invention. The continuous and dash-dotted lines on the left hand side show the recovery of lithium fluoride from the black mud and the recovery of cryolite from the cryolite liquor by carbonation with carbon dioxide. The continuous lines on the right hand side show a cryolite synthesis process which is integrated with the cryolite recovery by the dotted lines. The proportions of cell linings and sodium hydroxide are adjusted to give a F- concentration in the cryolite liquor of 9-15 g./kg. The precipitation of lithium fluoride is preferably at a temperature between 80‹ and 100‹ C. Specifications 836,928 and 902,485 are referred to.

By making the inking unit 7 drivable independently of the forme 6 or of the web 2 it is possible to pre-ink an inking unit 7, 7' and also to clean it when all the remaining rotating components of the printing machine 1 are stationary, in particular also with the print web 2 still in the machine. By means of a washing apparatus 27 to 30, 27' to 30' printing ink residues are removed from the inking unit 7, 7' until a defined initial state is obtained. Thereafter the inking unit 7, 7' is inked afresh according to subject-specific parameters, i.e. according to the printed image. This takes place in parallel during the startup of the printing machine 1. The ink application rollers 19 to 22 are then engaged with the forme cylinder 6 when the latter has reached the minimum speed of rotation required. This procedure reduces waste on start-up.

Method of obtaining improved geophysical information about earth formations
en
The present invention provides a method for forming wellbores. In one method, one or more wellbores are drilled along preplanned paths based in part upon seismic surveys performed from the surface. An acoustic transmitter conveyed in such wellbores transmits acoustic signals at one or more frequencies within a range of frequencies at a plurality of spaced locations. A plurality of substantially serially spaced receivers in the wellbores and/or at surface receive signals reflected by the subsurface formations. The sensors may be permanently installed in the boreholes and could be fiber optic devices. The receiver signals are processed by conventional geophysical processing methods to obtain information about the subsurface formations. This information is utilized to update any prior seismographs to obtain higher resolution seismographs. The improved seismographs are then used to determine the profiles of the production wellbores to be drilled. Borehole seismic imaging may then be used to further improved the seismographs and to plan future wellbores. Cross-well tomography may be utilized to further update the seismographs to manage the reservoirs. The permanently installed sensors may also be used to monitor the progress of fracturing in nearby wells and thereby provide the necessary information for controlling fracturing operations.
