CONT

Synthetic diamond. A man-made diamond, produced either by subjecting carbon-bearing material such as graphite to high temperature and pressure or by the chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method. The Swedish company Allmana Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget(ASEA) is believed to have achieved the first repeatable synthesis of diamond in 1953, but their results were not published at the time; General Electric Company(GE) announced a successful synthesis of diamonds in 1954, followed by De Beers in 1959. Colors range from black to dark green, light green, red, yellow, blue, and colorless(Type IIa diamonds). Millions of carats of industrial-quality synthetic diamond are now manufactured annually using high pressure techniques; gem quality synthetic diamonds have been produced experimentally by De Beers Diamond Research Laboratories, General Electric Company...

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Les diamants synthétiques sont fabriqués à partir de graphite et d'isotopes de carbone. La méthode de fabrication de ces synthèses repose sur les conditions de cristallisation naturelles du diamant, c'est-à-dire des températures entre 1700 °C et 2760 °C avec 10 T/cm², et ce pendant plusieurs mois.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

Direct liquid-phase sulfonation of methane with SO3 is performed with 30 wt% SO3 in sulfuric acid. Different metal peroxides are used as the radical initiator. Of the metal peroxides examined, CaO2 is found to be the most effective radical initiator at low reaction temperatures and CH4 pressures.

CONT

Alkali(group IA) and alkaline(group IIA) metals combine with oxygen to produce metallic peroxides. They are primarily oxidizer hazards; however, metallic peroxides are also water reactive compounds. Metallic peroxides decompose when heated to form oxygen, which supports combustion.

OBS

Dans les dénominations de familles de composés, l'adjectif anglais «metallic» ou le terme anglais «metal» employé adjectivement se traduisent en français par «métallique» de préférence à «de métal». P. ex. : acétylures métalliques, azides métalliques, azotures métalliques, carbonoperoxoates métalliques, chlorures métalliques, cyanures métalliques, hydroxydes métalliques, hydrures métalliques, nitrates métalliques, sels métalliques, stéarates métalliques et sulfures métalliques (tournures plus naturelles que celles formées avec «de métal»). En revanche, lorsqu'il est nécessaire de préciser la nature du métal (métaux alcalins, métaux alcalino-terreux, métaux de transition, métaux des terres rares, métaux lourds, etc.), il est préférable, pour éviter toute ambiguïté, d'utiliser la locution «de métal». P. ex. : peroxydes de métaux de transition (et non «peroxydes métalliques de transition»), peroxydes de métaux alcalins (et non «peroxydes métalliques alcalins»).

CONT

The basic attitude sensor was the three-gyro inertial reference package. It contained two air-tight integrating gyro units to sense pitch and yaw, and one miniature integrating gyro unit to sense roll. The pitch and roll gyros were torqued by signals obtained by two Barnes mod IIA infrared horizon sensors. Gyrocompassing oriented the vehicle to an orbit plane yaw reference by detecting a component of the programmed pitch rate through the roll horizon sensor. The geocentric pitch rate(typically 4 deg/min, for a low-altitude orbit) was programmed as a constant torque to the pitch gyro. This pitch component, if a yaw error was present, would be sensed differentially when compared with the roll components of the two horizon-sensor heads. The differential would be seen as a function of yaw error.

CONT

During heading align, the rotor of the resolver is positioned so that it transforms the N-S and E-W liquid level signals into pitch and roll components which are referenced to heading. The pitch component is amplified, demodulated and summed with amplified and demodulated feedback signals from the VG [vertical gyro] roll and pitch pickoffs and the pitch synchro. The combined signal is then modulated, amplified and converted to DC [direct current] to drive the platform pitch gimbal torque motor until the input signals are nulled.
