  • Composite tool comprising a polycrystalline diamond active part
    Patent number: 4984642
    Abstract: The composite tool (1) comprises a sintered metal carbide support (2) and a polycrystalline diamond active part (3) having an inner surface (4) of metallurgical connection to the support (2) and an outwardly facing working surface (5). The working surface (5) comprises corrugations (7) which are substantially parallel to one another and form successive projecting zones (7) and hollow zone (8) on at leasst a part of the working surface (5). The composite tool is in particular intended for drilling to a great depth, such as drilling oil wells.

  • Tool for a mine working machine comprising a diamond-charged abrasive component
    Patent number: 4944559
    Abstract: The body (1) of the tool consists of a single-piece steel component. The housing (3) for the composite abrasive component (2) is provided in this steel component. The working surface (5) of the body (1) has, at least in its component-holder part (5a), and angle at the lower vertex of at least 20% with respect to the angle at the vertex of the corresponding part (8a) of a metallic carbide tool for working the same rock. The surface (5a) of the component holder (4) is at least partially covered by an erosion layer (10) of hard material.

  • Spatial filter system as an optical relay line
    Patent number: 4158176
    Abstract: A system consisting of a set of spatial filters that are used to optically relay a laser beam from one position to a downstream position with minimal nonlinear phase distortion and beam intensity variation. The use of the device will result in a reduction of deleterious beam self-focusing and produce a significant increase in neutron yield from the implosion of targets caused by their irradiation with multi-beam glass laser systems.
