    摘要: A method of forming a low level carbon high-density tungsten carbide-containing material includes sintering a preform which contains tungsten carbide powder and has a composition such that the resulting sintered material has at most 6.05 weight percent tungsten-bound carbon based on the total weight of tungsten and tungsten-bound carbon. This low level of carbon may be achieved by, prior to the sintering step, oxidizing the tungsten carbide powder sufficiently to achieve the desired substoichiometric carbon level in the sintered product or by adding a carbon-lowering material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, ditungsten carbide, and tungsten oxide. Optionally, other materials can be present in the preform such as carbon-getter metals and compounds thereof. The carbon-getter metals are those metals of which the carbides thereof are more thermodynamically stable than monotungsten carbide.

    摘要: A bathing unit is particularly designed for home use, and includes a bathtub with an access opening in one side for easy ingress and egress, and a vertically sliding door to close the access opening. The bathing unit has a unique, combination door guide and grab bar arrangement, an adjustable control console, and a power door lock, all of which permit the bather to readily operate the door by himself, and to adjust the water temperature, flow and whirlpool from a seated position within the bathtub. The bather can receive total bathing and whirlpool therapy in private, without the need for an assistant. The combination door guide and grab bar arrangement includes a pair of support rods located on either side of the access opening, which function both as a track on which the door smoothly and easily glides, and also as vertical grab bars, which greatly facilitate entering and exiting the bathtub, and do not interfer with the operation of the door. The adjustable control console allows a seated bather to move the bathing controls to a convenient location within easy reach. The power door lock securely closes the door to a fully closed and sealed position without significant manual effort, and includes a remote actuator located on the control console to further facilitate the use of the bathing unit without an attendant, or other assistance.

    摘要: The present invention provides strategies for making high quality CIGS photoabsorbing compositions from sputtered precursor film(s). The precursors are converted into CIGS photoabsorbing material via a chalcogenizing treatment (also referred to as “post-chalcogenization,” including, e.g., “post-selenization” when Se is used and/or “post-sulfurization” when S is used) using techniques that allow the post-chalcogenizing treatment to occur under atypically low pressure conditions. Consequently, the strategies of the invention are readily incorporated into batch processes or continuous processes such as roll-to-roll process occurring under vacuum. The present invention is useful at lab, pilot plant, and industrial scales.

    摘要: The present invention provides strategies for making high quality CIGS photoabsorbing materials from precursor films that incorporate a sub-stoichiometric amount of chalcogen(s). Chalcogen(s) are incorporated into the CIGS precursor film via co-sputtering with one or more other constituents of the precursor. Optional annealing also may be practiced to convert precursor into more desirable chalcopyrite crystalline form in event all or a portion of the precursor has another constitution. The resultant precursors generally are sub-stoichiometric with respect to chalcogen and have very poor electronic characteristics. The conversion of these precursors into CMS photoabsorbing material via chalcogenizing treatment occurs with dramatically reduced interfacial void content. The resultant CIGS material displays excellent adhesion to other layers in the resultant photovoltaic devices. Ga migration also is dramatically reduced, and the resultant films have optimized Ga profiles in the top or bottom portion of the film that improve the quality of photovoltaic devices made using the films.
