The invention relates to a device for measuring a scatter coefficient distribution in a plane of a body. The plane is irradiated in different directions by a primary radiation beam along beam paths which are each time situated in parallel in a direction. Scattered radiation which is generated by a primary radiation beam along its path is measured by detectors which are situated on both sides of th...

An improved rotary centrifuge seal is disclosed of the type formed from a rotatable ring member (40) and a non-rotatable ring member (42) having a sealing face of each in contact to provide a dynamic seal between rotatable and stationary centrifuge elements. This improved seal is provided with means for entrapping solid particulate matter generated at areas of contact (44) and means for directing ...

An improved READ/WRITE circuit for a memory array of cells arranged in rows and columns, where each cell is coupled to a bit line via the conduction path of a single gating transistor which conducts in the source follower mode for one binary condition. The circuit includes a voltage multiplying circuit having an output at which is selectively produced either a read voltage, or a write voltage of s...

The invention described is the coating in situ of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) on interacting mechanical parts. A paste of PTFE and mineral oil is prepared and diluted with further mineral oil. The mechanical parts are operated until the parts are burnished with PTFE.
