20080236481 | METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING MASS FLOW RATE OF LUBRICANT VAPOR FORMING LUBRICANT COATINGS OF MAGNETIC DISKS - Lubricant coatings are applied as lubricant vapor to magnetic disks in a lubricant vapor flow path between the disks and a reservoir for liquid lubricant that is heated to the vapor. The flow path includes a vapor chamber between the reservoir and an apertured diffuser. Plural piezoelectric crystals selectively, at different times, monitor the flow rate of lubricant vapor flowing in the vapor chamber, a result achieved by selectively positioning a shutter that is selectively opened and closed between the vapor flowing in the vapor chamber and the crystals. Temperature variations of the crystals are compensated by a feedback arrangement for maintaining the crystal temperature constant. | 10-02-2008 |

20110120368 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISPERSING DRY POWDERS - A device for dispersing a sample of dry powder onto a surface in a dispersion chamber. The device includes a dispersion chamber situated in an environment, and a pressure source that provides a pressure difference between the environment and an inside of the dispersion chamber. The surface is positioned in the dispersion chamber. The sample of dry powder is introduced into the dispersion chamber through a membrane that is interposed between the environment and the inside of the dispersion chamber and on which the sample is disposed. The membrane is rupturable so as to open into the dispersion chamber when a predetermined pressure difference across the membrane is exceeded. This permits entry of a fluid in the environment through the ruptured membrane, and movement of the dry powder sample in an evenly dispersed manner without producing an ordered movement of powder grains in the dispersion chamber. | 05-26-2011 |
