摘要:
A gas laser apparatus having an anode and a cathode for imparting a glow discharge to a stream of laser gas in response to a high d.c. voltage, also includes a dielectric electrode positioned within said stream of laser gas between the anode and cathode for exciting a pulsed silent discharge of the laser gas in response to an a.c. high voltage power source that supplies a pulsed high a.c. voltage to said dielectric electrode. A pulsed large-current glow discharge is produced between the anode and cathode to thereby emit a large, pulsed laser output. The apparatus may also include controls for controlling the power of the silent discharge excited by the dielectric electrode to thereby control the laser output.

In an apparatus for controlling the EGR in a diesel engine, a single pressure control valve adjusts the control pressure from a pump automatically when the pressure changes, and supplies the control pressure in response to the command signal of a control circuit to an EGR valve and a waste-gate valve of a turbocharger. The pressure control valve includes an electric actuator, a spool valve, a sleeve, a diaphragm, and a spring. By using this apparatus, a diesel engine which has a high response speed, high control precision, simple constitution, less nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas, and low manufacturing cost is obtained.

In an internal combustion engine which incorporates an exhaust gas recirculation system which has an exhaust gas recirculation flow control valve provided at a middle position of the exhaust gas recirculation passage, the control valve being operated depending upon comparison between target and actual values of a control parameter with regard to the amount of exhaust gas recirculation, an auxiliary valve is provided in the exhaust gas recirculation passage in series with the exhaust gas recirculation flow control valve so as to control the cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas recirculation passage in accordance with the opening amount of the throttle valve provided in the intake passage of the engine.

Controlled exhaust gas recycling can be accomplished by a pneumatically actuated valve which restricts the flow of exhaust gas from an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine to the intake manifold. Exhaust gas may be removed from the manifold and enters a pressure chamber through a reduction means, such as an aperture in a plate. The effective cross-sectional area of hydrodynamic flow of the reduction means is chosen to be greater than the effective cross-sectional area of hydrodynamic flow of the valve. The valve is actuated by a diaphragm control means which is coupled to the intake and exhaust manifold. The diaphragm control means controls the amount of partial pressure applied to the pneumatically actuated valve according to the exhaust pressure from the exhaust manifold. Thus, the ratio of exhaust gas recycled through the internal combustion engine relative to the amount of engine air intake, decreases as the air intake volume increases, such as when the engine is under high loads or operating at high rates (RPM).

An exhaust pressure regulating system for use with an exhaust gas recirculating system of an internal combustion engine, and particularly for an automobile, utilizing a control valve of the butterfly or poppet type in the exhaust pipe for adjusting the back pressure in the exhaust, a vacuum-sensitive device for actuating the control valve, a pressure-signal passage for applying the pressure in the intake manifold to the vacuum-sensitive device and a pressure-comparing valve sensitive to the quantity of air being taken into the engine and the adjusted back pressure in the exhaust for modulating the pressure in the pressure-signal passage. The pressure-comparing valve includes a pair of interlocked diaphragms actuated in opposed relationship interacting with a biased valve member in the pressure-signal passage, one of the interlocked diaphragms being actuated by the venturi vacuum pressure created by the quantity of air being taken into the engine through the carburetor and the other of the diaphragms being actuated by the adjusted back pressure and tending to open the valve and bleed-off pressure in the pressure-signal passage. A booster valve is preferably used to amplify the venturi vacuum pressure and a pressure-changeover valve, sensitive to operating conditions of the engine, may be disposed in the pressure-signal passage.

Even a site having a complicated curved surface shape, such as a welded spot on a bottom of a nuclear reactor core, is simply and electrolytically etched without discharging an etching liquid in a large amount, whereby grain boundary on the surface of the nuclear reactor core internals can be confirmed visually.When the surface of nuclear reactor core internals is electrolytically etched, a sponge provided with holes having a communicating structure is integrated with an etching liquid, and the etching liquid is gelled, while the integrated combination is disposed in front of an electrode, followed by the application of voltage to turn on electricity at a state in which said electrode is electrically connected to the cathode of a direct-current power supply, and brought into contact with or approximated to the surface of the core internals electrically connected to the anode of the direct-current power supply.

In an underwater remote surface inspection method for a reactor constituting member, in order to improve the precision of an operation of inspecting a surface shape of the reactor constituting member, an underwater remote surface inspection apparatus includes a replica picking head, an ultrasonic vibrator, and a replica agent cartridge. The replica picking head is pressed against a surface of core internal structure as an inspection target. A replica agent is supplied from the replica agent cartridge into the replica agent supply region formed inside the replica picking head and contacting with the surface of the core internal structure. After the operation of supplying the replica agent ends, an ultrasonic wave is transmitted from an ultrasonic vibrator to the replica agent inside the replica agent supply region. Accordingly, gas bubbles or liquid bubbles existing inside the replica agent supply region rise up so as to be discharged to the outside of the replica picking head through an air extracting hole. As a result, the gas bubbles or the liquid bubbles do not remain in the surface of the replica agent contacting with the surface of the core internal structure.

A magnetic-electric energy conversion device includes: a matrix (12) that includes ferromagnetic particles (10) with conductive properties; an injector (20) that injects carriers into the ferromagnetic particles; and a receptor (22) that accepts the carriers from the ferromagnetic particles. In the magnetic-electric energy conversion device, the carriers tunnel from the injector to the receptor via the ferromagnetic particles, when the magnetization state of the ferromagnetic particles is reversed by magnetic tunneling due to a magnetic field.
摘要:
When a gate voltage is applied, the Schottky barrier width due to the metallic spin band in the ferromagnetic source decreasing, up-spin electrons from the metallic spin band are tunnel-injected into the channel region. However, down-spin electrons from the nonmagnetic contact are not injected because of the energy barrier due to semiconductive spin band of the ferromagnetic source. Only up-spin electrons are injected into the channel layer from the ferromagnetic source. If the ferromagnetic source and the ferromagnetic drain are parallel magnetized, up-spin electrons are conducted through the metallic spin band of the ferromagnetic drain to become the drain current. Contrarily, if the ferromagnetic source and the ferromagnetic drain are antiparallel magnetized, up-spin electrons cannon be conducted through the ferromagnetic drain. A nonvolatile memory composed of MISFETs operating on the above principle is fabricated.
