  • Patent number: 6384417
    Abstract: A sintered body of a rare earth oxysulfide is heat-treated at a temperature of 900° C. to 1200° C. in an atmosphere of a mixture of sulfur and oxygen to form island-like rare earth oxide phases on the surface of the sintered body to produce a ceramic scintillator. Therefore, the ceramic scintillator comprises a sintered body of a rare earth oxysulfide, and a rare earth oxide phase formed on the surface of the sintered body, wherein a rare earth oxysulfide phase or the rare earth oxide phase is dispersed on the surface of the sintered body, so that the optical output characteristic of the ceramic scintillator is improved. According to this ceramic scintillator, it is possible to remove the pressure and distortion during sintering, the coloring caused by the deviation from the stoichiometric composition, and the coloring caused during processing such as saw-cutting and polishing.

  • Patent number: 6348232
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a thermal spraying robot system capable of automatically determining spraying conditions according to the shape of a workpiece. Shape data on a workpiece (9) and material data on a thermal spray material are entered by operating a data input unit (1). A spray condition database 3 stores a plurality of spray parameters for kinds of thermal spray materials and for qualities of sprayed coatings. A path calculating unit (4) selects values of spray parameters from the spray condition database (3), and then calculates a path for a thermal spraying gun (14) according to a predetermined program on the basis of the shape data on the workpiece and the selected values of the spray parameters. The path calculating unit (4) decides whether or not a thermal spraying operation can be carried out by moving the thermal spraying gun along a calculated path.
