Abstract: A flowable, granular abrasive material and method of manufacture thereof. The material is comprised of at least one abrasive grain selected from aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and/or diamond and has a organic or inorganic coating comprised of a binder and an abrasive filling material in the amounts of 0.5 to 8% and 1 to 15% by weight, respectively. The filling material may include sulfides, phosphates, carbonates, halogenides, and/or sulfide-, carbonate- and/or halogenide-containing complex compounds. The binder may include a low-viscosity phenol resin, epoxy resin and/or polyurethane resin.

Abstract: A detector apparatus and its use for cluster ion beam diagnostics are described. The detector has a Faraday cup with a conductance path to a gas pressure detector and a conductance to the detector exit. The detector acquires ion current, which is a measure of the ion beam flux, and also acquires mass flux, through a pressure measurement. The pressure measurement responds to the mass of dissociated gas clusters and is combined with information about instantaneous ion current to estimate mean gas cluster ion size ({overscore (N)}i).

Abstract: A lock for a pair of doors hung in a single door frame, usually an inner main door and an outer door which may be a storm door and usually includes glass or screen panels through which a caller may be observed and identified, the lock including a pair of bolts carried by the door frame and operable to be extended therefrom to engage sockets formed therefor respectively in the door edges to secure them against opening. The bolts are operated by a lock shaft carried in the door frame to unlock first the inner door, so that it may be opened to permit observation and identification of a caller, while the outer door remains locked, and then to unlock the outer door if desired, to permit ingress of the caller. The lock shaft may be operated from inside the doors by a manual lever, and from outside by a key mechanism.
