Abstract: The present invention provides a tool for and method of using an infrared transmission technique to extract the full stress components of the in-plane residual stresses in thin, multi crystalline silicon wafers including in situ measurement of residual stress for large cast wafers. The shear difference method is used to obtain full stress components by integrating the shear stress map from the boundaries. System ambiguity at the boundaries is resolved completely by introducing a new analytical function. A new anisotropic stress optic law is provided, and stress optic coefficients are calibrated for different crystal grain orientations and stress orientations.
Abstract: The present disclosure shows an anti-rotation bolt for fastening reactor plates to prevent subsequent SCC problems wherein the bolt head has a circumferential series of anti-rotation tabs extending from the head of the bolt which are moved in by a restrainer cone which is placed on top of the bolt to allow its insertion into the plates and is removed for locking the tabs into detents formed in one of the plates to provide anti-rotation. The cone is again moved over the tabs during the removal of same leaving the bolt undamaged and fit for reuse.
Abstract: There is disclosed an improved tool, e.g. adapted to comprise at least part of a well completion assembly or well drilling assembly. The invention provides an improved downhole tool (or device) having a friction factor of the order of ten times less than those known from the prior art, e.g. of the order of 0.100 or less. Accordingly the invention provides a downhole tool (10; 10a; 10b; 10c; 10d), at least part of the downhole tool or device being made from Tungsten Disulphide (Tungsten Disulfide). In a disclosed embodiment the at least part comprises at least one surface of the downhole tool, the at least one surface comprising a bearing surface, e.g. a journal bearing surface and/or a thrust bearing surface.
Abstract: A method, computer program, and a wireless system for scheduling half duplex frequency division duplex bursts includes populating a burst frame having an uplink sub-frame and a downlink sub-frame with one or more block pairs, each block pair including an uplink block and a down link block. Populating the burst frame includes identifying a largest unscheduled block pair, and appending one of the uplink block and the downlink block of the identified block pair to a shortest sub-frame string. Populating the burst frame also includes appending the other of the uplink block and the downlink block to a diagonally opposed sub-frame string. The method also includes determining if a conflict exists between the uplink block and the downlink block for each scheduled block pair.
