    摘要: A system and a method for sterilizing objects, in particular medical instruments and accessories, using gas plasma, also called ionized gas. The gases used to form the plasma do not require to exhibit an intrinsic sterilizing activity. The sterilizing properties result from the passage through an electric field generating the plasma, an electric field which is provided by microwaves, a gas stream including oxygen in molecular form (O2) or as a gas element, and atomic or molecular species capable of emitting UV radiation once they have been energized. The system and method provide the advantage of making it possible to treat heat-sensitive and thermolabile objects at temperatures less than 50° C. using gases presenting no risks for the operator.

    摘要: The invention concerns a system including a microwave generator and a rectangular guide connected with the generator. The system is adapted to operate in fundamental (H10) or transverse electrical (TE10) mode, and associated with means providing a standing wave pattern. The system also includes many power connectors arranged in the guide at zones of maximum amplitude for one of the components of the electromagnetic field for splitting the generator power. The power connectors are adjusted so that the sum of their reduced admittance levels brought to the splitter input formed by the guide is in a single unit and many sources, respectively connected to a connector of the guide, via insulating means ensuring a power transmission of the connector to the source without reflecting towards the connector and a device adapting impedance of each source, located downstream of the insulating means, between the latter and associated source.

    摘要: A method for depositing a thin film of diamond on the surface of a Fe-based substrate comprises the step of pre-treating the surface of the Fe-based substrate prior to the deposition consisting of nucleating carbon atoms on the Fe-based substrate to grow the thin film of diamond. The pre-treatment consists of supersaturating the surface of the Fe-based substrate with carbon atoms and heating it to form a diffusion barrier layer. During the pre-treatment, at least a portion of the carbon atoms are diffused into the Fe-based substrate. During the deposition process, carbon atoms are prevented by the diffusion barrier layer previously formed to diffuse into the Fe-based substrate whereby these carbon atoms remain available for the nucleation and growth of the thin film of diamond. A portion of the carbon atoms diffused into the Fe-based substrate during the pre-treatment are nucleated during the deposition process and act as anchors to provide a high adhesion between the thin film of diamond and the surface of the Fe-based substrate.
