Abstract: A solar energy collection system which includes n groups (13, 14) of arrayed reflectors (15) and n+1 target receiver systems (10, 11, 12) which represent absorbing surfaces to solar radiation that is reflected by the reflectors (15). The receiver systems (10, 11, 12) are elevated relative to the reflectors (15) and the reflectors are pivotally mounted to support structures (19) in a manner such that they may be positioned angularly to reflect incident radiation (I.sub.1, I.sub.2) toward one or the other of the receiver systems (10, 11, 12). The collector system is characterized in that a majority at least of the reflectors (15) within each group (13, 14) are arranged to be driven simultaneously to pivot through the same angle (.o slashed.), in that the reflectors (15) within each group (13, 14) are arrayed in two sub-groups (21 and 22), and in that a majority at least of the reflectors (15) within the respective sub-group (21 and 22) are oriented permanently toward respective ones of the receiver systems (10, 11, 12).

Abstract: A method and a device for setting backlash between gears in a gear train. The device comprises a gear device. When the gear device is located in a gear train with a drive gear and a driven gear and brought into mesh therewith, the drive and driven gears mountings can be fastened to secure the positions of said drive and driven gears. The gear device can then be removed and is replaced by an idler gear designed to mesh with the drive and driven gears with an amount of backlash with each predetermined by the gear device. The gear device may comprise a gear oversized by a preset amount. Alternatively, it may comprise a pair of rods pivotally secured together.

Abstract: Solar energy absorptive coatings that comprise single cermet layers with a homogeneous metal volume fraction exhibit an absorptance of about 0.8, which is not high enough for practical solar applications. To achieve absorptance greater than 0.9, graded composite films have been developed, but they give rise to higher thermal emittance due to the absorption edge not being sharp enough. This leads to increased thermal emittance at high operating temperatures, in the range of 300.degree. C. to 500.degree. C. There is now disclosed a novel solar selective surface coating which is composed of two cermet layers, with different metal volume fractions in each layer. The two cermet layers have different thicknesses, and the layers have thicknesses and volume fractions such that solar radiation is absorbed by internal absorbing and phase cancellation interference, but the cermet layers are substantially transparent in the thermal infrared region.

Abstract translation: 包含具有均匀金属体积分数的单个金属陶瓷层的太阳能吸收涂层表现出约0.8的吸收率，其对于实际的太阳能应用不够高。 为了实现大于0.9的吸收率，已经开发了渐变复合膜，但是由于吸收边缘不够尖锐，它们引起更高的热发射率。 这导致在300℃至500℃的高工作温度下的热发射率增加。现在公开了一种新颖的太阳能选择性表面涂层，其由两层金属陶瓷层组成，每层具有不同的金属体积分数 。 两个金属陶瓷层具有不同的厚度，并且这些层具有厚度和体积分数，使得太阳辐射被内部吸收和相消除干扰吸收，但金属陶瓷层在热红外区域中基本上是透明的。

Abstract: A mould assembly for producing multiple castings in which a plurality of mould components are closely arranged together in an array and define a plurality of mould cavities. At the base of the array there is provided a regularly shaped space which communicates with each of the individual mould cavities via a runner passage and thus molten metal admitted to the space fills each of the mould cavities simultaneously leading to uniform properties in all the castings. The individual mould components are preferably injected moulded in a ceramic material.

Abstract: An augmented ceramic composite including aluminosilicate nanotubes may be added to a biocompatible polymer matrix. Aluminosilicate nanotubes have a surprisingly high biocompatibility, radio opaqueness, and suitability for storing therapeutic compounds for release over time. These surprising advantages make aluminosilicate nanotubes, such as halloysite nanotubes, a good candidate for use in various medical applications from bone and dental prosthetics to cancer treatment and prevention. Furthermore, unlike other additives, the addition of certain quantities of halloysite nanotubes increases the strength of the polymer matrix to which it is added.

Abstract: A curved sensor device, such as an ultrasonic transducer array, is fabricated from a flat micromachined sensor (such as cMUT or pMUT) array constructed using micromachined electromechanical systems (MEMS) techniques. The device comprises: a support structure comprising a spine having a profile that is generally curved and a multiplicity of teeth extending from one side of the curved spine; and a multiplicity of sensors built on the support structure. The spine can be bent forward or backward and attached to a curved front face of a support member, thereby causing the sensors to adopt a curved array.
