    摘要: A clamping system can be reconfigured to clamp any of multiple workpieces having differing shapes. The system includes a retention assembly for retaining an inflatable bladder that applies a clamping force to the workpiece. The retention assembly includes a flexible chain of pivotally connected links that can be locked in place to form a rigid assembly that conforms to the shape of the workpiece. The links can be unlocked to allow reconfiguration of the retention assembly into shapes matching other workpieces.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for separating a pin tool from a shoulder tool, after the pin tool and shoulder tool have become welded together during a friction stir welding operation. In one exemplary embodiment a frame is used to support the shoulder tool. A fluid pressure actuating assembly is used for gradually exerting a force on the pin tool while the shoulder tool is held stationary within the frame. The gradually increasing force gradually breaks the weld and separates the pin tool from the shoulder tool without damaging the pin tool.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a workpiece is provided. The method generally includes friction stir welding at least one structural member, selectively removing material from the surfaces of the workpiece at the location of a friction stir weld joint, and thereafter subjecting the workpiece to a solution treat, quench, and age treatment. By selectively removing regions from the surfaces of the workpiece that are defined by nonuniform material properties adapted to nucleate nonuniform grain growth during the solution treat, quench, and age treatment, a subsequent grain growth during the thermal treatment can be at least partially prevented.

    摘要: High phosphorus polyphosphides, namely MP.sub.x, where M is an alkali metal (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) or metals mimicking the bonding behavior of an alkali metal, and x=7 to 15 or very much greater than 15 (new forms of phosphorus) are useful semiconducutors in their crystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous forms (boules and films). MP.sub.15 appears to have the best properties and KP.sub.15 is the easier to synthesize. P may include other pnictides as well as other trivalent atomic species. Resistance lowering may be accomplished by doping with Ni, Fe, Cr, and other metals having occupied d or f outer electronic levels; or by incorporation of As and other pnictides. Top contacts forming junction devices doped with Ni and employing Ni as a back contact comprise Cu, Al, Mg, Ni, Au, Ag, and Ti. Photovoltaic, photoresistive, and photoluminescent devices are also disclosed. All semiconductor applications appear feasible.These semiconductors belong to the class of polymer forming, trivalent atomic species forming homatomic, covalent bonds having a coordination number slightly less than 3. The predominant local order appears to be all parallel pentagonal tubes in all forms, including amorphous, except for the monoclinic and twisted fiber allotropes of phosphorus.Large crystal monoclinic phosphorus (a birefringent material) in two habits, a twisted fiber phosphorus allotrope and a star shaped fibrous high phosphorus material are also disclosed.Single and multiple source vapor transport, condensed phase, melt quench, flash evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, and molecular flow deposition may be employed in synthesizing these materials. Vapor transport may be employed to purify phosphorus.The materials may be employed as protective coatings, optical coatings, fire retardants, fillers and reinforcing fillers for plastics and glasses, antireflection coatings for infrared optics, infrated transmitting windows, and optical rotators.

    摘要: A fore line trap is located before the forepump in a vacuum system. The trap utilizes a cracker, which may be a heated filament or a plasma, and cold walls. The cracker cracks pnictide gas species such as P.sub.4 into other species such as P.sub.2 which have a higher sticking co-efficient. The pnictides are deposited on the cold walls. The cold walls preferably comprise a sleeve which may be removed from the trap and replaced by a clean one.
