La longueur interactive du modulateur optique est augmentée par la déflexion intérieure et le passage du faisceau optique à travers la zone de modulation une pluralité de fois. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, on utilise la réflexion totale interne afin de défléchir le faisceau optique. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on utilise des matériaux réfléchissants (233), de manière à défléchir le faisceau optique de façon interne. Dans un mode de réalisation, la zone de modulation est pourvue d'une zone chargée comportant une jonction p-n (115, 215).

Abstract: The present invention provides an infrared absorption gauge (or other electromagnetic detection apparatus), comprising a detector circuit including a detector (282) for detecting electromagnetic radiation from a sample and for generating a signal representing the radiation received, and means for stabilising a response characteristic of the detector to the radiation detected thereby, said stabilising means comprising a controlled source of electromagnetic radiation, e.g. a GaAs diode (32), for directing radiation at the detector (282), and means (38, 40) for controlling the radiation source in dependence upon the signal generated by the detector. The stabilising means thus acts as a negative feedback loop and seeks to maintain the overall illumination irradiating the detector (282), i.e. the combined illumination that is reflected back from the sample and that is emitted by the GaAs diode (32), at a substantially constant predetermined level, which tends to linearise the response of the dectector (282) to the radiation detected and extends the frequency response of the detector (282) to the radiation detected. <IMG>

Title: Gyroscopic mass flowmeter
Inventor: VAN CLEVE CRAIG BRAINERD
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2001-11-14
Granted: 2009-01-13
Abstract: A mass flowmeter having a first embodiment (1500) that uses gyroscopic force s rather than Coriolis forces to determine material flow information, such as mass flow rates, for a material flow. The interior of the flow tube (400) defines a helix element (300) that imparts a spin to the material flow withi n the flow tube. The flow tube is vibrated transversely by a driver (D). The transverse vibrations and the spin imparted to the material flow together generate gyroscopic forces within the flow tube. The magnitude of the flow tube deflection that results from the gyroscopic forces is related to the magnitude of the material flow within the flowmeter and is measured to determine material flow information. A second embodiment (1600) of the flowmeter further functions to detect the Coriolis forces on the vibrating flow tube and generates material flow information from the detected Coriolis forces. The Coriolis based material flow information and the gyroscopic base d material flow information are both applied to associated meter electronics which uses the two sets of information for comparison and error checking and other purposes such as compensation.

Abstract: A printer for printing on a web of record members such as labels, tags, etc. includes an interpreter and a memory for storing an application program. The interpreter is enabled or disabled by the receipt of a command. When enabled, the interpreter processes an application program to extract data from a received data stream and to construct one or more data packets in a predetermined printer control language to be sent to a parser. When the interpreter is disabled, the received data is sent to the parser bypassing the interpreter. The printer of the present invention is thus operable to print received, data with or without an application program.

A rearwardly-directed jet generated by the positive pressure source through the rearwardly-directed jet aperture (27) can cause articles in the exit channel to return to the housing. A controller (40) operatively connected with the pressure source(s) selectively controls the application of positive pressure to the aforementioned apertures to induce or halt singulation of the articles; the controller may be operatively associated with a sensor (23) that detects and counts articles passing through the exit channel.
