Abstract: A method of preparing a porous film comprises electrodepositing material from a mixture onto a substrate, the mixture comprising: (I) a source of metal, inorganic oxide, non-oxide semiconductor/conductor or organic polymer, (II) a solvent such as water; and (III) a structure-directing agent such as octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether in an amount sufficient to form an homogeneous lyotropic liquid crystalline phase in the mixture. Electrodepositing the film from a lyotropic liquid phase in this manner provides a porous film having a substantially regular structure and substantially uniform pore size. Following deposition, the porous film may be treated to remove the structure-directing agent.

Abstract: A small or medium-caliber multi-barrel automatic weapon of the GATLING type, notably designed to fire telescoped munitions, having a loading and firing system (SC) having several pivoting chambers (20). Each chamber is mounted pivoting around a stay (30), is associated with a barrel of the weapon and moves from a loading area (ZC) to a firing area (ZT), said chamber (20) being guided during its movement by guiding means formed of a fixed inner cam (32) and a fixed outer cam (34) which are separated from one another by an even distance corresponding to the outer diameter of the chambers (20).

Abstract: A transmission device includes a central wheel, a satellite wheel, a drive element and a tension control device. The central wheel is disposed to rotate about a central wheel axle that is fixed in a first position. The satellite wheel has a satellite wheel axle, which is movable with the satellite wheel relative to the fixed position such that the satellite wheel does not rotate about the satellite wheel axle. The drive element, which has a first portion and a second portion, connects the central wheel and the satellite wheel. When the satellite wheel revolves in a first direction around the central wheel, the central wheel is induced to rotate in a second direction opposite the first direction. The tension control device is connected to the drive element and controls its tension to at least partially compensate for the induced rotation of the central wheel.

Abstract: The novel method for producing a coded marking on a CRT faceplate panel having an exterior and an interior surface with a viewing area surrounded by a periphery and having a luminescent screen with a plurality of different light-emitting phosphors separated by light-absorbing material includes the steps of: depositing a suitable photoresist on the interior surface of the panel to form a layer that extends across the viewing area and onto the periphery; illuminating areas of the photoresist on both the viewing area and the periphery with actinic radiation to selectively change the solubility of the photoresist; developing the photoresist to remove the more soluble areas, thereby exposing underlying portions of the interior surface of the panel while leaving retained areas of less soluble photoresist. The retained areas of the photoresist and the exposed portions of the interior surface of the panel are then overcoated with a light-absorbing material which is dried to form a coating.

Abstract: A GATLING type multi-barrel weapon includes a revolving assembly with sliding loading and firing chambers that are in axial alignment with the barrels of the weapon. Each chamber is able to move between an open and a closed position following a translational to-and-fro movement in parallel to the rotational axis of the revolving assembly, the two positions being at a distance from one another such as to define a loading space that extends axially for a distance corresponding to the length of a munition. When the chamber is in its open position, supports retain a munition received in the loading space, the supports being formed of two supports respectively provided on the front end face of each chamber and on a ring mounted sliding on the rear part of the barrel. The weapon notably allows plastic-cased telescoped munitions having a polygonal cross section to be fired.
