Abstract: A lenticular array in silicon is made by anisotropically etching a V-shaped groove in a 100 silicon wafer wherein the walls of the V are made by intersecting 111 planes and exposing the surface having the V-grooves therein to a polishing etch whereby a series of lenses is formed between the V-grooves.

Abstract: A microprocessor computer includes a control store ROM, which is flexibly addressed, using a sequence register and base register, both of which are loaded from the microprocessor data loop. The sequence register and microinstruction register, the latter providing a pipeline for output control store microinstructions, are selectively accessed by a multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer, along with the output of the base register, provide the inputs to an adder which may selectively address a microinstruction in the control store, as specified by the output of the multiplexer, or as specified by the sum of the addresses from the multiplexer and the base register. The flexible address, in addition to addressing the control store, provides an address to micro-operand storage in a high speed RAM. This allows local storage of data that must be processed by the microprocessor under microprogram control in high through-put real time applications.

Abstract: CRT (cathode-ray tube) comprises an evacuated glass envelope, an electron-gun mount assembly housed in the envelope, the electrodes of said envelope being confined by closely-spaced glass surfaces, and a smooth, electrically-conductive coating of tin oxide on said glass surfaces opposite electrodes of said mount assembly. The electrically-conductive coating is electrically floating and, preferably, is a substantially-continuous circumferential band on the inner surface of the neck of the CRT.

Abstract: Poly N,N-dimethylaminomethyl acrylamide, when added to clarified trona solutions, improves the crystals subsequently formed from these solutions. Preferably, the poly N,N,-dimethylamino methyl acrylamide crystal modifier is used in conjunction with a water-soluble cationically charged coagulant.

Abstract: The recording blank comprises a substrate having a non-etchable surface which incorporates a given surface relief pattern diffractive structure, an etchable metal overcoating in contact with the diffractive structure which overcoating has a smooth exterior surface, and a photoresist layer in contact with this smooth exterior surface. This permits a simple technique to be employed in fabricating a high quality embossing master.

Abstract: By flow-melting low-melting point electroplated metal structures, each corresponding to a white-manifesting region of the embossing master, any originally re-entrant shaped structure becomes non-re-entrant. Further, the flow-melting provides a brighter white color capability for the filter embossed in a thermoplastic film.

Abstract: A diffractive subtractive filter is made tunable by controllably varying the index of refraction of a fluid medium in contact with a surface relief pattern of a solid diffractive phase medium. A liquid crystal is the preferred fluid.

Abstract: A method of fluidizing concentrated aqueous suspensions of red mud which comprises uniformly admixing with such suspensions at least 0.1 pound per metric ton of an acrylic acid polymer which has a molecular weight within the range of 5,000-30,000.

Abstract: Red mud slurries can be solidified by adding thereto certain fatty substituted quaternary ammonium salts.

Abstract: A method of optically monitoring the thickness of a layer of material being deposited on a substrate within a reaction chamber comprises forming on a body a diffraction grating profile, exposing the grating profile to a beam of light while depositing the material on both the substrate and the grating profile, whereby the grating profile functions as a relief pattern diffracting the light beam into diffracted beams of various orders, measuring the intensity of the first order (I.sub.1) and second order (I.sub.2) beams to obtain a ratio signal (I.sub.2 /I.sub.1), and then transmitting the ratio signal to processing means for determining the aspect groove width of the relief pattern, whereby the thickness of the depositing layer is determined from a pre-established relationship dependent upon the aspect groove width.

Abstract: A recording blank, composed of at least one diffraction grating substrate, such as nickel, covered with a layer of photoresist is used to produce an embossing master by exposing the photoresist to picture information composed of respective white and non-white manifesting regions; developing the exposed photoresist to reveal the grating portions underlying solely the white manifesting regions; electroplating and/or etching the revealed portions to level and obliterate the revealed grating portions, and then removing the remainder of the photoresist.

Abstract: Stable water-in-oil emulsion of water soluble polymers are disclosed. The emulsions are formed by selecting a suitable continuous phase consisting of an inert hydrocarbon liquid followed by selecting suitable surfactants based on the properties of the organic liquid.

Abstract: Dry acrylamide is produced by reacting acrylonitrile with from 0.3 to 1 mole of water in the presence of a metallic nitrile conversion catalyst. The reaction is conducted under conditions of pressure and temperature and other reaction conditions to convert at least 30% by weight of the nitrile to acrylamide. This reaction produces a solution of acrylamide dissolved in nitrile which then is either treated by means of cooling or pressure reduction to precipitate acrylamide crystals from the reaction mixture, which crystals are then recovered.

Abstract: Water-in-oil emulsions of water soluble vinyl addition polymers of the type comprising from:A. 30 to 95% by weight of the emulsion of an aqueous phase comprising water and monomer;B. 10 to 50% by weight of the emulsion of a water soluble vinyl addition polymer;C. 5 to 70% by weight of the emulsion of a hydrophobic liquid;D. and 0.1 to 21% by weight of the emulsion of a water-in-oil emulsifying agent;Can be rendered more stable to prolong storage by subjecting the emulsion to high shear mixing prior to polymerization.

Abstract: In a turbofan engine for jet aircraft the inner stream includes no noise suppression apparatus and the jet exhaust noise generated at takeoff is reduced by mechanically suppressing the jet exhaust noise of the outer stream and operating the engine at a bypass ratio, fan pressure ratio and gas generator power setting which yield a jet exhaust noise level from the suppressed outer stream which is louder than the jet exhaust noise level from the unsuppressed inner stream.

The process is particularly applicable to deposition of tin oxide on glass faceplates of cathode ray tubes.

Abstract: Certain volatile organotin compounds are vaporized in a heated carrier gas stream and brought into contact with a preheated substrate to be coated in an atmosphere containing oxygen. Indium oxide coatings may be doped with tin by vaporizing an organotin compound and an indium chelate of a .beta.-diketone and bringing the vapors in contact with a heated substrate in an oxidizing atmosphere.

Abstract: A surface relief pattern, e.g. a surface relief hologram, is substantially linearly transferred to a hard durable substrate, capable of being used as a medium for permanent storage of the pattern or as a master for replicating the hologram, from a photoresist coated on the substrate, by exposing the photoresist and the substrate to a photoresist developer bath and a chemical bath capable of etching the substrate at a rate substantially proportional to the development rate of the photoresist. This technique allows the transfer of surface relief patterns with dimensions on the order of one micron or less, and is applicable to the formation of surface relief holographic patterns in permanent media for archival storage and to making master surface relief holograms.
