  • Patent number: 5097793
    Abstract: A thin film vacuum evaporation device having a reaction gas supplier for locally supplying a reaction gas to the evaporating point on a target. The device includes a reaction chamber that can be kept under vacuum with a light transmitting window disposed therein allowing the passage of a laser beam on the target. Also, a differential pressure chamber may be provided between the target and the light transmitting window, and a gas introducing section may be connected to the differential pressure chamber. Thus, the vapor generated by the target is prevented from adhering to the light transmitting window, and the light transmitting window can be kept clean.

  • Patent number: 4873417
    Abstract: A plurality of different laser oscillators are optically connected through respective first laser beam transmission paths to a corresponding number of machining stations. The first laser beam transmission paths are mutually connected optically through laser beam converters and second laser beam transmission paths and the second laser beam transmission paths may be optically connected through laser beam branching devices to a common laser beam transmission path which is optically connected through laser beam branching devices and third laser beam transmission paths to the machining stations, respectively, so that, by suitably controlling the laser beam converters and the laser beam branching devices, a workpiece in one of the machining stations can be machined in various manner with any or any combination of laser beams generated by the laser oscillators.

  • Patent number: 4816293
    Abstract: A process for coating a workpiece with a ceramic material comprising the steps of axially advancing a cylindrical ceramic rod of a ceramic material relative to a workpiece while rotating it about its axis in a vacuum, to feed the ceramic rod into an energy beam for evaporation. The rate of feeding of the ceramic rod depends on the rate of deposition of the evaporated ceramic material on the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 4700041
    Abstract: Two metal plates 1a, 1b are projection welded together using a truncated conical projection 12 on a first one of the plates having a spherical end surface. The plates are pressed together through the projection, and a welding current pulse is applied which reaches a maximum value in less than 2 milli-seconds. The shape and dimensional limitations of the projection coupled with the high amplitude, short duration current spike result in a thin welding nugget 9 and prevent any thermal distortion of the outer plate surface due to localized overheating.

  • Patent number: 4363725
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing stone and gravel from excavated soil by vibration. The apparatus is particularly useful for operation at the foot of a volcano, mountainous district or the like. Characteristic features of the apparatus are that it is self-propelled by means of endless tracks and the excavated soil is separated into stone, gravel and soil with the aid of a sieving means and the separated stone and gravel are discharged from the apparatus by way of a conveyor, while the separated fine soil is conveyed by way of another conveyor and then is scattered rearward by means of a scattering device to be piled up on the working ground.
