摘要： A low temperature process is disclosed for forming metal suboxides on substrates by cathodic arc deposition by either controlling the pressure of the oxygen present in the deposition chamber, or by controlling the density of the metal flux, or by a combination of such adjustments, to thereby control the ratio of oxide to metal in the deposited metal suboxide coating. The density of the metal flux may, in turn, be adjusted by controlling the discharge current of the arc, by adjusting the pulse length (duration of on cycle) of the arc, and by adjusting the frequency of the arc, or any combination of these parameters. In a preferred embodiment, a low temperature process is disclosed for forming an electrically conductive metal suboxide, such as, for example, an electrically conductive suboxide of titanium, on an electrode surface, such as the surface of a nickel oxide electrode, by such cathodic arc deposition and control of the deposition parameters. In the preferred embodiment, the process results in a titanium suboxide-coated nickel oxide electrode exhibiting reduced parasitic evolution of oxygen during charging of a cell made using such an electrode as the positive electrode, as well as exhibiting high oxygen overpotential, resulting in suppression of oxygen evolution at the electrode at full charge of the cell.

摘要： A sheet feeder for dealing with simplex or duplex copy sheets from a copier or like reprographic machine uses four rollers forming three sheet-feeding nips. All sheets enter the central nip: on leaving it they are selectively diverted into one or other of two sheet pockets, from which they bounce or are otherwise fed back into an aligned other nip. Sheets passing through one outer nip may be fed to an output tray, while those passing through the other nip may go back into the machine for further processing.

摘要： A waveguide is provided which can include a bearing supporting a probe or other equipment for rotation. In order to prevent particles of the waveguide metal or waveguide cleaning materials embedded in the metal from entering the bearing, a window is fitted across the waveguide at a selected position between two waveguide sections or at each of a number of positions, the window being transparent to microwave transmission, being capable of transmitting pressure and being capable of filtering particles of a diameter in excess in 0.005 inch (0.013 cm).

摘要： An apparatus and method for coating or layering a surface with a metal utilizing a metal vapor vacuum arc plasma source. The apparatus includes a trigger mechanism for actuating the metal vacuum vapor arc plasma source in a pulsed mode at a predetermined rate. The surface or substrate to be coated or layered is supported in position with the plasma source in a vacuum chamber. The surface is electrically biased for a selected period of time during the pulsed mode of operation of the plasma source. Both the pulsing of the metal vapor vacuum arc plasma source and the electrical biasing of the surface are synchronized for selected periods of time.

摘要： An ion source utilizing a cathode and anode for producing an electric arc therebetween. The arc is sufficient to vaporize a portion of the cathode to form a plasma. The plasma leaves the generation region and expands through another regon. The density profile of the plasma may be flattened using a magnetic field formed within a vacuum chamber. Ions are extracted from the plasma to produce a high current broad on beam.

摘要： A copier for duplex copying in which blank sheets are fed from a copy sheet tray (41) to a photoreceptor (11) to receive a first image on one side and the simplex copy sheets so formed are conveyed to a duplex buffer tray (43) from which they are refed to the photoreceptor to receive a second image on the other side. The buffer tray (43) is arranged so that the simplex sheets are inserted into it lead edge first in the same direction (right-to-left) in the drawing in which they leave the photoreceptor and are refed trail edge first along a folded path between the buffer tray and the photoreceptor so that the sheets are inverted once between the buffer tray and the photoreceptor. As illustrated the buffer tray (43) is arranged beneath the photoreceptor and the copy tray (41) is arranged beneath the buffer tray (43). A double folded path (55) for returning simplex sheets to the buffer tray is provided between the photoreceptor and the buffer tray.
