A securing device for securing in cavaties and comprising a number of clamping jaws (11), provided under influence of a changeable tension body (21) to expand against opposite wall portions (13) in said cavity. The clamping jaws (11) have engagement surfaces (12) which are forced outwards and tension surfaces provided to cooperate with a tension surface (22) of the tension body. By means of a displacement motion of the clamping jaws relative to the tension body is brought to adjust the clamping ...

A radiation dispersing cavity has its interior surface covered by a plurality of deformations, each of which acts as a dispersing element which is small with respect to the effective diameter of the cavity and yet large with respect to the wavelengths processed by the integrating cavity. The interior surface of the cavity is coated with a material which provides the proper reflectivity for the wavelengths of interest. The interior of the cavity is covered with at least two different sets of inte...

A piston has skirt portions (13) which are provided with parallel rows (14) of cavities (15) whose maximum depth below the surface of the skirt portion is 0.010 mm. Parts (20,23) of the skirt portion are left between the cavities for providing a reduced area, in comparison with the full skirt portion, for the transmission to an associated cylinder or liner of lateral loads; this reduced area reducing the frictional losses. The cavities (15) hold lubricating oil and provide a cushion of oil which...

The present invention relates to an image carrier, for example, for use in electro-photography, containing at least one elastomer with cavities. The image carrier can be used, inter alia, in electrography, electrophotography (as a photoconductor) or magnetography and in color printing processes.

Cavities in mining are filled by introducing a mixture consisting of a slurry or sludge which evolves CO.sub.2, foams and solidifies and predominantly comprises alpha-hemihydrate, alpha-CaSO.sub.4. 0.5 H.sub.2 O, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonate and water, by a method in which the mixture is mixed with a bisulfate-containing aqueous solution or suspension of one or more metals before being introduced into the cavities to be filled.

The present disclosure relates to an optical cavity, comprising a first non-concave reflector positioned at a first end of the optical cavity and a second non-concave reflector positioned at a second end of the optical cavity that receives and reflects light reflected from the first non-concave reflector. The first non-concave reflector is configured to focus light that reflects off of the reflector back upon itself to avoid diffraction losses from the optical cavity. In one embodiment of the in...

A tool assembly comprising a cylindrical hole saw having an annular cutting surface and at least one rebate blade positioned adjacent to the exterior sidewall of the hole saw having a cutting surface in a plane approximately parallel with the cutting surface of the hole saw and the rebate blade located a predetermined distance below the cutting surface of the cylindrical hole saw.

A system is provided for compensation of maladjustments caused by operational and/or environmental factors in laser resonant cavities of the folded type, which employs a support construction of a light weight construction double T-profile section. The present construction allows the construction of low cost, powerful lasers with substantially reduced mass and volume and of a sufficient temperature stability for industrial applications. A thermal carrier medium flowing through all supports and mo...

The invention provides a mattress with aeration cavities, consisting of a layer of flexible material with a lower face (3) by which the mattress may bear on an undermattress and an upper face (4) for receiving the body of a person, each face being defined by an edge (5), the lower face (3) having a plurality of cavities (10, 110).

A niobium cavity exhibiting high quality factors at high gradients is provided by treating a niobium cavity through a process comprising: 1) removing surface oxides by plasma etching or a similar process; 2) removing hydrogen or other gases absorbed in the bulk niobium by high temperature treatment of the cavity under ultra high vacuum to achieve hydrogen outgassing; and 3) assuring the long term chemical stability of the niobium cavity by applying a passivating layer of a superconducting materi...
