摘要:
Described are devices employing a ferroelastic crystal having two spontaneous strain states separated by a zigzag domain wall which can be switched to increase one strain state at the expense of the other by motion of the zigzag wall as a whole. Zigzag walls can be created by applying high stress to ferroelastic crystals under conditions which inhibit formation of normal planar walls. Once formed the zigzag walls are stable in the absence of applied stress and can be moved through the crystal by conventional means. The use of such a device in an optical shutter is also described.

摘要:
An electret pressure transducer consisting of a very thin insulating coating applied to the surface of a body to be investigated when under stress, a thin layer of conductive paint or metallic deposit configured to extend over the area to be investigated, a layer of a solid elastic material, the electretfilm containing a permanent electric charge, and a metallic deposit on the electret film. The layer of conductive paint and the metallic deposit constitute the two plates of a parallelplate capacitor, and the elastic material in conjunction with the electric charge provided by the electret determines the sensitivity, linearity, and frequency response of the transducer.
摘要:
There is disclosed apparatus for measuring precisely, to 0.01 C*, difference in temperature including thermistors, which are subject to the temperatures whose difference is being measured. The logarithm of electrical resistance of each thermistor is proportional to its temperature and the thermistors are connected in a ratiometric circuit for measuring their relative resistances. Each thermistor is a ceramic of ferroelectric material (for example, barium-strontium titanate) formed by mixing powders of different compositions, each composition having a different ferroelectric resistance anomaly, and then firing and oxidizing bodies pressed from the mixture of powders. The mixture of powders is heterogeneous so that the grains of the ceramic include a plurality of particles of powder which microscopically would manifest distinct ferroelectric resistance anomalies if fired alone but the macroscopic response of the ceramic is loglinear over a substantial temperature range.
摘要:
A ferroelectric device having a layer of stable ferroelectric potassium nitrate disposed between electrical contacts positioned on opposite surfaces of the ferroelectric layer. The ferroelectric layer has a thickness of less than 110 microns, and preferably falling within a range of from 100 angstrom units to 1000 angstrom units. The process of manufacturing the ferroelectric device includes the cooling of a layer of potassium nitrate by exposing the layer to a cold dry gas without quenching to form a stable ferroelectric layer.

A non-thrombogenic article comprising: an electret having a stable heterocharge, prepared by decaying away the unstable heterocharge and homocharge of an electret, which is produced from a polymer in a conventional manner, said article being such that the negative-charge bearing surface of said electret forms the surface of the article to be brought into contact with the blood.
摘要:
Electret surface charge is measured accurately and in a reproducible fashion by supporting an electret between fixed electrodes positioned at a finite distance from the electret, one at ground potential and the other employed as a voltage probe. A conductive shutter is interposed between the electret and the probe. A capacitor connecting the electrodes is discharged and the shutter opened to induce a charge on the probe. This charge is drawn from the capacitor and the voltage thus generated across the capacitor is measured with an electrometer. Since electrode spacing is fixed, repeated measurement yields the same measure and the charges on different samples are directly comparable.
