摘要:
A family of semiconductor diode lasers is made available whose emitted laser light beam intensity can be electrically modulated with low voltage, low current modulating control bias signals. By appropriate design of the diode laser devices in accordance with the invention and provision of means for adjusting the relative values of the applied modulating control bias signals, the improved diode lasers can be switched on and off electrically in addition to modulation of the emitted output laser light beam intensity. Further, the physical position of the emitted laser light beam spot along the laser facet readily can be moved by the same electrically operable control means so as to provide modulation, turn-on and turn-off and small lateral movement as well as scanning of the laser light beam in a single heterostructural diode laser device.

A bearing assembly (20) for a pump (12), e.g., an internal or external gear pump includes a journal bearing block (20) having a length, a width, and an axial centerline (CL′) passing through a center of the journal bearing block (20) with respect to the length. The journal bearing block (20) includes at least two journal bearing bores (21), the journal bearing bores (21) each having a center (C), wherein a bearing bore centerline (CL) extends between the centers (C) of the journal bearing bores (21) and in parallel with the bearing bore centerline (CL). The bearing bore centerline (CL) is offset with respect to the width of the journal bearing block (20) and the axial centerline (CL′). The bearing assembly (20) is particularly applicable to gear pumps, such as external gear pumps for fuel applications.

A peep sight having a body within which is mounted a transparent lens with a pair of substantially parallel faces and a peep hole for use on a weapon such as an archery bow or a firearm. The peep hole has a sidewall that slopes towards a target side of the lens and forms a contrast ring around the peep hole. The sidewall is preferably coated with a dark, non-reflective coating and the lens is colored for improved contrast.

Systems and methods for improving dense gas solvent extraction of a solute and recovery of the solvent are provided. A pressure of the solvent/solute mixture obtained from an extraction chamber is increased, e.g. with a pump, thereby providing the mixture above saturation conditions. The increased pressure provides greater solubility of the solute and less solvent being vaporized in a heat exchanger. A buildup of solute in the system is reduced, thus improving system longevity. Also, process conditions of the separation process are isolated from those of the extraction process. Accordingly, the process conditions for the separating process are maintained while the process conditions of the extraction chamber vary with ambient temperature, thus saving cost and energy. This isolation also provides an ability to use, in the gas recovery cycle, a heat pump that can be used for many applications and environmental conditions while still using a conventional refrigerant.

A system and method provide dual level pressurization control of a fuel supply system based on whether fuel is being supplied to one or more secondary fuel loads. Fuel pump discharge backpressure is maintained above either a first minimum pressure value or a lower second minimum pressure value by determining whether fuel is being supplied to one or more secondary fuel loads. The fuel pump discharge pressure is maintained above the first minimum pressure value if it is determined that fuel is being supplied to the one or more secondary loads. The fuel pump discharge backpressure is maintained above the lower second minimum pressure value if it is determined that fuel is not being supplied to the one or more secondary loads.

A process is disclosed of diffusing a zinc dopant into a III-V compound substrate. To avoid degrading the substrate surface the zinc dopant source is provided by coating an organic composition comprised of a zinc organic compound chosen from the group consisting of zinc alcoholates, .beta.-diketonate chelates and carboxylate salts. The composition inludes at least one organic film-forming moiety containing from 5 to 30 carbon atoms.

The present invention provides energetically and economically efficient methods for separating polyamide polymer(s) from commingled materials. The methods generally involve precipitating a polyamide polymer dissolved in a solvent (e.g., formic acid) using dimethyl ether (DME) as an antisolvent. The methods comprise dissolving the polyamide polymer in a solvent that (i) selectively dissolves the polyamide polymer relative to the other materials and (ii) has a higher solubility for DME relative to the polyamide polymer; and then contacting the mixture of the solvent with the dissolved polyamide polymer with DME, thereby precipitating the polyamide polymer.

An integrated semiconductor device includes a pair of spaced apart regions of semiconductor material on a surface of a substrate of semiconductor material. One of the regions is a light emitting device and the other region is a light detector device. Each of the regions is formed of a first layer on the substrate surface of a composition suitable for serving as a light detector active layer. Additional layers are on the first layer with at least one of the additional layers being of a composition to act as a light emitter active layer. A contact layer may be provided on the additional layers. The light detector region has a highly conductive region extending through the additional layers and slightly into the light detector active layer. The light emitter region may have a highly conductive region extending through some of the additional layers to the light emitting active layer. Thus, both the light emitting region and the light detecting region are formed from the same layers of semiconductor material.
