    摘要: An apparatus and method for drawing low loss fluoride glass fibers from a preform. A stream of reactive gas is passed around the preform and fiber so as to prevent moisture and oxygen contamination of the fiber while the fiber is being drawn. The apparatus includes an insulating vessel which surrounds a heating chamber in which the fiber is drawn, and a very narrow heating zone within the chamber for preventing crystallization of the drawn fiber.

    摘要: This invention relates to the immobilization of toxic materials, e.g., radioactive materials, in glass for extremely long periods of time. Toxic materials, such as radioactive wastes, which may be in the form of liquids, or solids dissolved or dispersed in liquids or gases, are deposited in a glass container which is heated to evaporate off non-radioactive volatile materials, if present; to decompose salts, such as nitrates, if any, and to drive off volatile non-radioactive decomposition products, and then to collapse the walls of said container on said radwaste and seal the container and immobilize the contained radwaste, and then burying the resulting product underground or at sea. In another embodiment, the glass container also contains glass particles, e.g., spheres or granules, on which the radwaste solids are deposited. In other embodiments, the glass container can be made of porous glass or non-porous glass, and/or the contained glass particles can be made of porous or non-porous glass or mixtures of porous or non-porous glass, and/or the glass container can be open at one end and closed at the other or open at both ends, and/or the glass container can be closed at one end with a porous or non-porous closure and open at the other end or closed at the other end with a porous closure. When a porous glass container and/or porous glass particles are used, the radwaste deposits within the pores of the glass which are closed during the subsequent heating step after non-radioactive volatiles have been driven off and prior to sealing the container. There results a substantially impervious glass article in which the radwaste is entrapped and which is highly resistant to leaching action. The products resulting from the use of porous glass, as the container, contents, or both, can be used as sources of radioactivity for a variety of applications in medicine, sterilization, food preservation and any other application where radiation can be beneficially employed.

    摘要: A method of making fluoride glasses produces fluoride glass having such low OH and low oxide content that the extrinsic optical absorbance caused by the OH vibration at 2.9.mu. is eliminated or substantially reduced. In the method, a glass charge is placed in a capped crucible and dry argon gas is caused to flow through the capped crucible while the temperature is raised to melt the charge. Thereafter, while the dry argon gas flow is continued, the temperature in the furnace is held constant for a time sufficient to obtain a homogenous melt in which all crystalline materials are dissolved. The temperature is then lowered to a value between the glass crystalization temperature and the sublimation temperature of ZrF.sub.4 and then, at isothermal conditions, the flow of dry argon gas is replaced by a flow of SF.sub.6 gas or by a flow of CF.sub.4 gas. At the lowered temperature, the SF.sub.6 or CF.sub.4 gas flow is maintained for a time sufficient to eliminate or greatly reduce OH and oxides in the glass melt. Thereafter, the melt is allowed to cool in a still water-free environment.

    摘要: A protective housing for a leadless chip carrier or plastic leaded chip carrier package includes a substantially rectangular-shaped solid body having a central cavity for receiving a chip package. The solid body is formed of four side portions. Beam members are pivotally connected on opposite sides of two of the four side portions of the solid body for retaining the package within the central cavity. A plurality of support members are formed on the interior surface of the two opposite side portions and the beam members for supporting the lower surface of the package at each of its four corners. The solid body is provided with two opposite chamfered corners for moving outwardly the beam members away from the central cavity so as to permit insertion or removal of the chip package from the central cavity.

    摘要: This invention relates to the immobilization of toxic, e.g., radioactive materials, internally in a silicate glass or silica gel matrix for extremely long periods of time. Toxic materials, such as radioactive wastes containing radioactive anions, and in some cases cations, which may be in the form of liquids, or solids dissolved or dispersed in liquids or gases, are internally incorporated into a glass matrix, having hydrous organofunctionalsiloxy groups, e.g., hydrous aminoalkylsiloxy or carboxyorganosiloxy, bonded to silicon atoms of said glass and/or hydrous polyvalent metals bonded to silicon atoms of said glass through divalent oxygen linkages or otherwise immobilized therein, by a process which involves the ion exchange of said toxic, radioactive anions with hydroxyl groups attached to said organofunctionalsiloxy groups or with hydroxyl groups attached to the hydrous polyvalent metal. Thereafter, the resulting glass now characterized by a distribution of internally bonded or immobilized, toxic, radioactive anions can be packaged in suitable containers, and disposed of as by burial, and/or they can be sintered to collapse the pores thereof to disposal or for producing useful radiation sources. The porous glass or a porous silica gel having said silicon-bonded organofunctionalsiloxy groups and/or said hydrous polyvalent metal oxy groups, the pores of said glass or silica gel remaining open and uncollapsed, can be used advantageously as a backfill for an underground radioactive waste burial site and as overpack in the waste disposal container. Also included is a novel method for bonding the polyvalent metal to the porous silica glass or gel by substituting the protons of the silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups thereof with an alkali metal or ammonium cation followed by displacement of said cation with the non-radioactive polyvalent metal cation.
