Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a luminophore comprising the following steps:a) the weighing of the different constituent materials in powder form;b) mixing in an aqueous medium;c) the evaporation of the liquid;d) the screening of the powder at 100 .mu.m;e) baking at a temperature of 1100.degree. C. to 1400.degree. C. in a neutral gas atmosphere with injection of neutral gas into the interior of the powder;f) the screening of the baked powder;g) crushing to reduce the size of the grains and then screening;h) the annealing of the crushed powder at a temperature of 700.degree. C. to 1200.degree. C. so as to obtain a reorganization of the first atomic layers of the grains of the powder;i) the mixing of the annealed powder in an aqueous medium, and sedimentation and then removal of the upper part of the liquid containing the powder in suspension;j) the drying of the removed suspension and the screening of the powder obtained.

Abstract: A process for rapidly sintering ceramic components, in particular of the type utilized in electronics (ferrites), which reduces the sintering time by a factor of from ten to one hundred, reducing the volume of the kiln and resulting in a considerable saving in electric power. In this process the unbaked components previously shaped by pressing with a binder are sintered without carrying out the prior heat treatment of elimination of the binder. The sintering is made according an accurate curve of temperature as concerns the slopes of the rising and descending parts of the curve. The maximum of the curve exceeds by from 100.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. the normal temperature of sintering in the conventional method. The kiln, which is of the passage type with a conveyer belt sliding on rods of alumina, has six heating zones regulated by a thermocouple and a feedback loop pertaining to each zone so as to achieve a heating profile with a high accuracy.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a magnetic head, with a relatively large gap for reading, for instance, magnetic cards, and having a good resistance to mechanical wear, is provided. The head comprises two members with flat and parallel faces, made of a spinel ferrite having a high Curie temperature, encompassing a layer of non magnetic ferrite, 10 to 50 micrometers in thickness, deposited by silk-screen printing on one or both of the mutually opposite flat faces. The assembly is then bonded by sintering under pressure.
