  • Publication number: 20220333235
    Abstract: A method for coating a metal workpiece with graphene includes exposing the metal workpiece to a carbon-containing precursor gas and a hydrogen gas in a processing chamber in a first phase, and to the carbon-containing precursor gas, the hydrogen gas and a first carrier gas in the processing chamber in a second phase after the first phase. A first flow rate of the carbon-containing precursor gas into the processing chamber is higher than a second flow rate of the carbon-containing precursor gas into the processing chamber, and a first flow rate of the hydrogen gas into the processing chamber is higher than a second flow rate of the hydrogen gas into the processing chamber. A first total gas pressure in the processing chamber in the first phase is lower than a second total gas pressure in the processing chamber in the second phase.

  • Patent number: 10828869
    Abstract: A multilayer structure comprises a plurality of composite structures in a stacked configuration, each having a copper layer having a thickness of no larger than 25 ?m, and first and second graphene layers sandwiching the copper layer. The first graphene layer of a first composite structure among the plurality of composite structures directly contacts a second graphene layer of a second composite structure among the plurality of composite structures to form a graphene bi-layer structure. Either the first or second graphene layer of the graphene bi-layer structure comprises silver atoms, but not both. The silver atoms are ring-centered on graphene rings and delocalized inside the graphene rings.

  • Patent number: 10082191
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a clip assembly for jointing devices for a conveyor belt that includes a U-shaped clip intended to be secured and straddling an end of a conveyor belt with an overhanging of a front curved portion, or nose of the clip. The clip assembly further includes a tube secured in a front concave portion of each clip and a bracket having two cheeks secured to lateral ends of the tube. The cheeks are joined together at a rear by a connection portion. The securing of the cheeks is obtained by piercings on lateral ends of the tube. Branches of the clips are provided with through-holes to secure the clip with a stem. In one form, the branches of one or more clips in a set of clips are of unequal length.

  • Patent number: 8701876
    Abstract: A clip for attaching a staple that joins conveyor belt ends that comprises a top portion and a plurality of claws that extend substantially perpendicular from the top portion and are adapted to extend through corresponding holes in the staple. The top portion is formed of a metal sheet, the configuration of which corresponds to that of an accommodation recess provided in a top plate of the staple. The top portion bears at least two claws of the plurality of claws. Each of the claws is connected to the top portion by a bend and each bend includes a re-entrant reinforcing rib embossed therein. Each reinforcing rib is provided in the longitudinal direction of the respective claw approximately in the middle of the width of the respective claw. The claws are formed either by bending the metal sheet at the bends or by attaching the claws to the metal sheet.

  • Patent number: 8684170
    Abstract: The proposed device comprises chain links alternately connected to upper fastening plates and to lower fastening plates. These plates comprise fastening claws of which some are arranged on the front and/or rear edges of the plates and others inside the surface of the plates. Stops are provided for blocking the chain links along the edge of the end of a conveyor belt. Another series of similar chain links are placed against the other end of the conveyor belt. The two series of chain links and plates are braced against the upper and lower sides of the respective conveyor belt ends, the claws fastening them to these ends. A connecting rod is then fitted into the chain links of the two pre-interleaved series, bringing together the conveyor belt ends in the process.
