Abstract: An alloy, which can be used in a microwire, contains 26 to 52 weight % Fe; 26 to 52 weight % Co; 3.0 to 38.0 weight % Ni; at least one selected from the group consisting of 1.0 to 8.0 weight % V, 1.0 to 8.0 weight % Cr, 1.0 to 8.0 weight % Zr, 1.0 to 8.0 weight % Dy and 1.0 to 8.0 weight % Nb; at least one selected from the group consisting of 2.0 to 8.3 weight % Si and 2.0 to 8.3 weight % B; and at least one selected from the group consisting of 0.2 to 1.6 weight % Ce, 0.2 to 1.6 weight % La and 0.2 to 1.6 weight % Y. When cast in a microwire, the alloy can be substantially amorphous.

Abstract: A glass-coated microwire includes a metal wire coated with a glass. The metal wire can contain, in weight %, 20-25% Bi, 6-12% Sn, 4-8% In, 3-5% Cu, 0.6-1.5% Si, 0.05-1.2% Ce, and a balance of Pb. The glass coating can contain, in mol. %, 12-15% SrO, 10-12% B2O3, 1-3% Al2O3, 5-15% SiO2, 1-3% ZnO, 0.5-1.5% Li2O, 2-5% SnO, 2-8% K2O, and a balance of PbO. The glass-coated microwire provides improved shielding against X-ray radiation.

Abstract: A high precision alloy, and in particular, high-strength nickel-based amorphous compositions for fabrication of glass-coated microwires.

Abstract: A system for generating glass-coating microwires that can particularly apply a uniform cooling to a glass tube filled with molten metal inserted into a tank including a cooling liquid. The uniform cooling allows the formation of a glass-coated microwire with a non-distorted and uniform glass coating.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for exchanging heat including a conduit having a spiral shape for conditioned fluid to flow through, a heat sink compartment, and a chip layout. The chip layout includes a thermoelectric unit positioned between the conduit and the heat sink compartment such that a first surface of the chip layout is in contact with the fluid conduit and a second surface is in contact with the heat sink compartment.

Abstract: An electromagnetic interference filter, including a core, having: at least one electrically conductive signal or power-insulated lead, at least one first layer surrounding the lead, made of glass-coated microwire, serving as a magnetic absorbent material, a tubular conductive material surrounding the first layer, and a substrate on which the core is mounted, the substrate is configured as a planar body having a top, a bottom and side surfaces, portions of the top and bottom surfaces are covered with electrically conductive material serving as signal and ground terminals and making electrical contact with the tubular conductive material of the core.
