The present invention relates to a cutting tool insert for metal machining comprising tungsten carbide in a binder phase of tungsten or a tungsten alloy. The insert contains, in addition, W2C in an amount such that in the x-ray diffraction pattern the peak ratio W2C(101)/W(110) is <0.3. This particular microstructure is obtained by an additional heat treatment at about 1200 DEG C after the sinter...

Dans un serveur d'aide (SA), un module de traitement (MT) mémorise un identificateur (UID) de l'usager et un identificateur (EID) d'une étape d'application du type bureau virtuel extraits d'une requête transmise par le terminal et désignant une action requise par l'usager. La requête (REQt) est transmise à une application respective implémentée dans au moins un serveur (SVBi) qui exécute l'acti...

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a diamond film of electronic quality at a high rate using a pulsed microwave plasma. The plasma that has a finite volume is formed near a substrate (in a vacuum chamber) by subjecting a gas containing at least hydrogen and carbon to a pulsed discharge. The pulsed discharge has a succession of low-power states and of high-power states and a peak absorbed powe...

The production of a capacitor on a monocrystalline silicon substrate (10) comprises: (a) forming a layer of silicon dioxide (11, SiO2); (b) depositing and completely oxidizing a layer of titanium dioxide (12, TiO2); (c) depositing layer of platinum (13, Pt) with a thickness of 800-1200 Angstrom to constitute a first electrode of the capacitor, the platinum deposition being effected by spraying at ...

The process of measuring the wettability of a porous rock sample in the presence of water and oil comprises determining the area of the surface wetted with water and the surface wetted with oil when the sample is saturated with both water and oil and calculating the wettability index by the combination of values obtained for the surfaces. The rock sample is placed inside a nuclear magnetic resonan...

The procedure consists of making a continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) recording, extracting the RR intervals and analyzing them by wavelet transformation. The total spectral power (Ptot) and/or the spectral power associated with low frequencies (LF), and/or the spectral power associated with high frequencies (HF), and/or the relationship between low and high frequencies are then calculated in real...

A method in a digital image processing chain adjusts for a colour balance. In the method, the subject is imaged by pixels to form value-sets of the colour components, component-specific histograms are formed from the value-sets of the colour components, cumulative histograms are formed from the component-specific histograms, the illumination colour corresponding to at least one colour component is...

Reactor (1) has a sensor (27, 28 or 29) controlling dissolved oxygen between set levels. Further sensors (27, 28 or 29) measure redox potential and pH, sending signals to a control system (40) evaluating them as a function of elapsed time. A maximum in the pH curve and inflection in the redox potential are determined. Oxygen concentration and its rate of consumption are determined. The inflection ...

At least a part of the stopper is made from an expanded plastic material (2), comprising particles made from a material substantially gas-tight to at least one gas.

The use of kombucha for increasing performance-related activity, reducing general inactivity and improving general health, is new. Kombucha is useful for increasing performance-related activity, reducing general inactivity and improving general health. Kombucha is a combination of various bacteria and yeasts in a gelatinous base; see WO9843489-A1.

The invention relates to a method for producing plastic profiles, in which a strand of plastic is produced in an extruder and is cooled and calibrated in at least one calibrating tool by use of vacuum. A rapid and secure recognition of fissures in profiles is achieved in such a way that the vacuum pressure is monitored and, when a predetermined limit value is exceeded, a signal is emitted indicati...
