  • Publication number: 20190055629
    Abstract: Methods of making Ta, Nb, and Ta/Nb sputter targets and targets produced thereby. The improved targets comprise a mixed {100}/{111} texture wherein the % volume of {100} texture is increased over prior art methods and a % volume {111} texture reduced compared to targets made by prior art methods. This results in increased film deposition rates upon sputtering of the improved targets. The methods for manufacturing the improved targets comprise a clock rolling step wherein less than 8% target reduction is achieved at rolling speeds of between about 30-40 rpm.

  • Publication number: 20140278150
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods involved in the process of assessing utility pole condition and, in particular, the apparatus and methods involved in the use of sensors to assess utility pole fatigue in response to age, weather, wear, impact and other potential damage events. A utility pole sensor system is provided for rapidly and efficiently assessing utility pole fatigue in response to passively induced environmental movements prior to a natural or man-made failure of the utility pole.
