Improved printed-wiring boards for high-reliability circuits
Experimental board includes three layers of special tridirectionally woven fabric. Alumina particles play major role in reducing coefficient of expansion. They also serve as heat sink for heat-generating components
On a question of H. A. Schwarz
This paper is a contribution to the study of tetrahedra with rational side
lengths and rational volume. The problem can be formulated as a study of a
hyperelliptic variety attached to the Cayley-Menger determinant. The problem
posed by Schwarz was as to whether this variety is rational over the rationals.
In a thesis that was never published Otto Schulz proved in 1912 that the
variety was rational over . This does not seem to have
appeared eleswhere nor, apparently, has the question been studied since then.
In this paper we take up an idea of Kurt Heegner to reprove the theorem using
the theory of Weddle surfaces. Although this does not lead to a final answer to
Schwarz question it seems likely that it is negative.Comment: The mathematics described here was presented and discussed at the
conference "Thermodynamics Formalism- Applications to Geometry, Number Theory
and Stochastics" (8th-12th July, 2019) at the Mittag-Leffler Institute,

Alpha particle backscattering measurements used for chemical analysis of surfaces
Alpha particle backscattering performs a chemical analysis of surfaces. The apparatus uses a curium source and a semiconductor detector to determine the energy spectrum of the particles. This in turn determines the chemical composition of the surface after calibration to known samples
