20140183765 | CERAMIC-CERAMIC COMPOSITES AND PROCESS THEREFOR, NUCLEAR FUELS FORMED THEREBY, AND NUCLEAR REACTOR SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES OPERATED THEREWITH - A process of producing ceramic-ceramic composites, including but not limited to nuclear fuels, and composites capable of exhibiting increased thermal conductivities. The process includes milling a first ceramic material to produce a powder of spheroidized particles of the first ceramic material, and then co-milling particles of a second ceramic material with the spheroidized particles of the first ceramic material to cause the particles of the second ceramic material to form a coating on the spheroidized particles of the first material. The spheroidized particles coated with the particles of the second ceramic material are then compacted and sintered to form the ceramic-ceramic composite, in which the second ceramic material forms a continuous phase completely surrounding the spheroidized particles of the first ceramic material. | 07-03-2014 |
20100002032 | SCANNER, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND MOTOR CONTROL METHOD OF SCANNER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A scanner, an image forming apparatus and a motor control method of the scanner and the image forming apparatus. The motor control method includes scanning a test image formed on a document, calculating an actual speed of a scan head moved by the motor using the scanned test image, calculating a matrix representing a relation between a driving signal to drive the motor and the calculated actual speed of the scan head, and renewing the driving signal using an inverse matrix to the calculated matrix to correct the actual speed of the scan head. | 01-07-2010 |
