Abstract: A device for transporting a preferably multilayered web of thermoplastic material, comprising a pair of transport rollers delimiting a conveying nip, of which each roller is provided with annular grooves, and comprising two stripping rakes, which are fastened in the frame and the prongs of which engage in the annular grooves and at least one of which is movably mounted and actuates a switch shutting down the roller drive whenever the web moves this stripping rake out of its normal position due to a compression or holding-up, is to be further developed in such a way that it already leads to an actuation of the switch whenever compressions of only a slight extent occur in the web. This object is achieved in that the stripping rake (11, 7; 12, 8) is movably guided in the direction of transport of the web (9). The stripping rake actuating the switch can be moved already with very much less force if the said rake is not swivelled but is displaced in the direction of transport of the web. The device according to the invention responds in an advantageous way much more sensitively to compressions of the web than previously known devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A catheter probe 10 for use in the analysis of gases absorbed in liquids, particularly suitable for the in vivo analysis of blood gases, the probe 10 includes an equili­bration chamber 24 disposed within the active length of the probe at the distal end 12 of the probe 10 and which is surrounded by a gas permeable membrane 22. A carrier gas is introduced into the probe 10 and enters the equilibration chamber 24 where the gas sought to be analyzed from the blood equilibrates with the carrier gas and forms a bolus of sample gas. That bolus is then caused to flow out of the probe 10 to an analyzer. The equilibration chamber 24 is formed of an elongated, tortuous path that allows a high surface area to unit volume ratio, that is, the ratio of the area of the equilibration chamber 24 that is immediately beneath the gas permeable chamber to the volume of the flow path though the equilibration chamber 24 is high. Preferable the equilibration chamber is formed as a spiral path. The cross-sectional area of all of the paths through which carrier gas passes through the catheter probe are designed to be substantially the same to minimize mixing of the bolus of carrier gas containing the blood gases with the non-equilibrated carrier gas.

Abstract: A known congestion avoidance system for computer networks detects conges­tion at a node output port if the average queue length (integral) over the last congestion cycle plus the current (incomplete) cycle exceeds a fixed constant (taken as 1). (A congestion cycle is a period for which the queue length is 1 or more plus the following period for which the queue length is 0.) The time of arrival or departure of a message is stored at 21, the interval from the previous event is calculated at 22 and 23, the length of the current cycle is incremented at 25 by adding in the interval just determined, and the queue length at 26 is incremented or decremented by 1. The running integral for the current cycle is updated by having added into it the product formed at 27 of the inter­val since the last event (stored at 23) and the current queue length. The inte­grals for the current and previous cycles (stored at 24 and 30) are added and the lengths of those two cycles (stored at 29 and 31) are added, and the first sum divided at 34 by the second to obtain a grand average queue length. If that exceeds a preset value, then a congestion bit is set in messages leaving that node output port. 
     In the present system, the running queue length average (in 29′) is main­tained by adding (at 28′) the queue length (in 26′) into the average at regular intervals determined by timer ticks (from 60) (thus using integer addition instead of integer multiplication), and the grand average compared with the preset value by comparing (at 61) the total of the queue length averages with the total of the cycle periods (thus using integer addition and comparison instead of floating point operation).

Abstract: The use of neural networks has been employed to adjust processing during the fabrication of articles. For example, in the production of photolithographic masks by electron beam irradiation of a mask blank in a desired pattern, electrons scattered from the mask substrate cause distortion of the pattern. Adjustment for such scattering is possible during the manufacturing process by employing an adjustment function determined by a neural network whose parameters are established relative to a prototypical mask pattern.

Abstract: A plasma discharge endpoint detection system characterized by a plurality of individual data channels which are combined to create a composite function representative of the conditions within a plasma etch chamber (20). Preferably, a number of the channels are representative of spectral components within the optical spectrum caused by the plasma discharge within the etch chamber (20). A multi-channel sensor assembly (48,60,62) is provided for this purpose including a number of light-guides (48) for guiding light from the plasma discharge (20) to filters (60) and photosensors (62) associated with the multiple channels. Other channels can detect various conditions such as the D.C. bias on a cathode within the plasma etch chamber (20). The various channels are digitized, weighted and summed within a digital computer to create the composite function from which endpoint and other conditions within the chamber can be determined. The method is characterized by the weighting and summing of a plurality of data channels carrying information about the conditions within a plasma etch chamber to develop a composite function and then analyzing the composite function to determine endpoint and other conditions. The endpoint detection method compares the slope of the composite function to a predetermined maximum slope value and identifies endpoint when the maximum slope value is exceeded a predetermined number of times.
