  • Patent number: 5945162
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for introducing into a chemical vapor deposition chamber precursors of elements to be deposited over a heated substrate. The method comprises the steps of maintaining one or more precursors in liquid form or in solution at a pressure higher than the pressure of the chamber; injecting periodically and under control in the deposition chamber precursor droplets each of the droplets having a controllable volume; volatizing the injected precursor droplets to produce evaporated precursors, and conveying toward the substrate the evaporated precursors at a temperature and pressure of the chamber, whereby the evaporated precursors react to produce the elements deposited onto the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5214926
    Abstract: Device for extracting heat from a hot source (7) and transferring it to an autonomous heat accumulator, which is portable, forming a cold source, this device having the special feature that the said accumulator is formed by an enclosure (1) containing ammonia under conditions such that at least a significant portion of the heat transferred to this accumulator causes the ammonia to pass from the solid state to the liquid state. The device is usable for the thermal control of protective equipment or of leakproof protective suits intended for work in a toxic atmosphere or at high temperature, or also in space.

  • Patent number: 4726701
    Abstract: A modular assembly for use in forming an article of furniture or the like including a connector member for joining together three elongated members on mutually perpendicular axes. The connector member includes three pairs of flanges which are received respectively in U-shaped channels in the three elongated members with the members secured in each case to the connector member by a clamping member which clamps the flanges of the elongated member between the flanges on the connector member and flange portions on the clamping member. The portions of the connector member receiving the horizontal elongated members are recessed inwardly or rearwardly from the connector member portion receiving the vertical member so that the ends of the horizontal elongated members may pass behind the vertical member to hide the raw edges of the horizontal members. The connector member and the various fastening elements are essentially totally hidden from view in the final assembly.
