摘要:
A system and method for estimating a metric of a proposed product from a document describing the product in an arbitrary degree of detail provides accuracy comparable to a function point assessment of a fully detailed document by parsing a document into a plurality of lines in an outline form and assigning a hierarchy to each line. Values or weights are determined for each of a relatively small plurality of key words in accordance with the key word and the hierarchy level of the line in the parsed document in which the key word is found. An adjustment is made based on a category of the key word such as nouns and verbs and the hierarchy level of the lines as compared with the number of hierarchy levels found in the document. Further adjustments may be made for subject matter domain of the product and the source or author of the document.

A powder material and a process for producing same are disclosed. The process comprises reducing the size of an electrolytically produced starting dendritic copper powder material by fluid energy milling to produce a finer powder, essentially all of which has a particle size of less than about 20 micrometers in diameter, entraining the finer powder in a carrier gas and passing it through a high temperature zone at a temperature above the melting point of the finer powder, the temperature being from about 5500.degree. C. to about 17,000.degree. C., to melt at least about 50% by weight of the finer powder to form essentially fine spherical particles of the melted portion, and rapidly and directly resolidifying the resulting high temperature treated material while the material is in flight, to form fine spherical particles having a particle size of less than about 20 micrometers in diameter. The particles are essentially free of elliptical shaped material and essentially free of elongated particles having rounded ends, and have an oxygen content of less than about 0.5% by weight, and a carbon content of no greater than the carbon content of the starting material.

A process is disclosed for producing a sheet of tungsten heavy alloy which involves uniformly blending elemental metal powder components of the alloy by forming a slurry of the powder components in a liquid medium, introducing the slurry onto a filter medium and applying vacuum to the bottom of the slurry to form a planar cake of the powder components. The cake is then dried and sintered to a density equal to or greater than about 90% of the theoretical density of the alloy to form the sheet.

Composite powder particles which are essentially spherical in shape are disclosed which consist essentially of particles of a matrix phase which consists essentially of a metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum and aluminum based alloys and a reinforcement phase which is relatively uniformly dispersed in and bonded to the matrix, the reinforcement phase comprising titanium diboride.A process is disclosed for producing the above composite particles which involves entraining in a carrier gas a plurality of agglomerated powders, at least one of the powders supplying aluminum, at least one of the powders supplying titanium without boron and at least one of the powders supplying boron without titanium. The powders are fed through a high temperature zone to cause essentially complete melting and coalescence of the powders wherein at least a part of the titanium and at least a part of the boron combine to form titanium diboride and thereafter resolidified to form the composite powder particles.The resolidification can be done by impacting the high temperature treated powder against a surface having a temperature below the solidification temperature of the matrix, in which case a composite material is formed.

Composite powders containing a first group of metals of iron, cobalt, nickel and molybdenum in specific ratios and one or more oxidizable metals can be formed by forming an aqueous solution containing first group of metals, forming solid material of the metals from the solution, reducing the solid material to a metallic powder, combining that powder with one or more easily oxidizable metals in an non-oxidizing atmosphere.
摘要:
A method for providing a real time measurement of the purity of one gas in a binary mixture of two known gases, which mixture also contains water vapor, applies principles of the fan laws and ideal gas laws in a manner whereby the volume percent purity of the gas may be calculated directly from measured fan differential pressure. The calculted purity is preferably corrected for variations in temperature and pressure. The method requires the determination and use of an appropriate fan constant based on the gas whose purity is to be measured and specific to the fan being used to circulate the gas mixture and the speed at which it operates. An appropriate adjustment factor for differences between design and measured speed may also be applied in acordance with the fan laws. The method is particularly well adapted to provide real time measurement of hydrogen gas purity in the cooling gas circulated inside a large synchronous AC generator and utilizing a microprocessor to provide a real time output of hydrogen gas purity. The principles underlying the method of the invention are also utilized to develop a correction factor to convert hydrogen purity measured from a dry gas mixture sample using a thermal gas analyzer to a true hydrogen purity. The method may further to applied to calculate actual water vapor content in a sample from which hydrogen purity was measured by a thermal gas analyzer.
