Abstract: An example antenna system includes a parasitic element and a symmetrical element fed by a balanced RF signal source. The fed element is operable to couple with the parasitic element, thereby causing the parasitic element to resonate at a first frequency band. Thus, the fed element is operable to act as a balanced capacitive feed for the parasitic element. Also, the parasitic element is symmetrical with respect to a polarity of the fed element.

Abstract: A process for producing an internal-oxidized alloy, which comprises allowing a plasma generated in the presence of oxygen, a gas of an oxygen atom-containing compound or a mixture of oxygen and a gas of an oxygen atom-containing compound to act on an alloy consisting of at least two metal elements, thereby selectively oxidizing at least one metal element other than the matrix metal in said alloy. Particles of the internal-oxidized alloy thus obtained can, if necessary, be molded into a desired shape and sintered. Said process enables one to produce an internal-oxidized alloy at a high speed at a temperature of not more than 0.9 Tm (Tm: the melting point of the starting alloy) and does not require the step of separating an internal-oxidizing agent which step is required in the conventional process.

Abstract: A graphite fluoride comprising mainly poly-dicarbon monofluoride represented by the formula (C.sub.2 F).sub.n can be produced in an extremely short period of time by a process comprising reacting a graphite material with fluorine in the presence of a specific fluoride.

Abstract: A process for producing a novel graphite fluoride type film on the surface of an aluminum substrate in which an aluminum substrate and a carbonaceous material or polycarbon monofluoride represented by the formula (CF).sub.n are heated in an atmosphere of fluorine gas. The film has a luster, and not only exhibits high degree of hydrophobicity but also has corrosion resistance to aqueous solutions of acid and alkali as well as a mechanical strength.

Abstract: An electrolytic cell comprising a negative electrode having as the active material a light metal and a positive electrode as the main active material a poly-dicarbon monofluoride represented by the formula (C.sub.2 F).sub.n has been found to exhibit a high discharge voltage as compared with the conventional electrolytic cell of the type using as the active material of the positive electrode a polycarbon monofluoride represented by the formula (CF).sub.n and also been found to be excellent in flatness of discharge voltage and shelf-life. The electrolytic cell of the present invention can be produced at low cost due to high yield of (C.sub.2 F).sub.n in production, and is useful as the energy source of such devices as watch, clock, desk type computer, small type radio, etc.

Abstract: A process for preparing a novel chemical compound poly-dicarbon monofluoride represented by the formula (C.sub.2 F).sub.n and having a crystalline structure of packing form featured by its layer structure stacked with an interlayer spacing of about 9.0 A. Such process consists in that a particulate carbon material having a specific crystallinity is reacted with fluorine at 300.degree. to 500.degree. C. According to the process, the desired product can be obtained in a yield as high as 100% with respect to not only the carbon material employed but also the fluorine employed.

Abstract: A novel chemical compound poly-dicarbon monofluoride represented by the formula (C.sub.2 F).sub.n and having a crystalline structure of packing form featured by its layer structure as shown in FIG. 12 hereof stacked with an interlayer spacing of about 9.0 A. Such new compound can be produced under relatively mild reaction conditions and obtained in a yield as large as 100% with respect to not only the carbon material employed but also the fluorine employed. The new compound is black under the formation conditions and of low crystallinity, but it can be easily converted to that of high crystallinity and white color by heat treatment in a fluorine atmosphere. The new compound has a wide variety of uses, for example, as lubricants, stain-resistant and water-repellent materials, cathode materials in high energy primary cells, etc.
