Patent EP-0924500-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAUF MARKUS
IPC: G01J5/10
Filed: 1998-12-04
Abstract: The radiation emitted from the radiation source is actively modulated with a characteristic parameter. Two radiation detectors are provided to detect radiation emitted from the surface of the object which is being irradiated. The radiation detected by the second detector is used to compensate the radiation detected by the first detector for radiation reflected from the object. To investigate the physical properties of the irradiated object, such as emissivity, temperature, reflectivity, transmission coefficient and layer thickness, it is necessary to determine accurately the radiation emitted from the object itself. To do this, it is necessary to subtract radiation that is merely reflected from the object, which has the characteristic modulation signal that if left the source with. The remaining radiation is then entirely that which is emitted by the object itself.

Abstract: A blade (25) is pressed against a developing roller (21)
for regulating the amount of toner which is deposited on a surface
of the developing roller (21). The blade (25) is formed with
a slant face (25a) at its tip end, to which the toner is
transported along a direction of rotation of the developing
roller (21). An angle of aperture  at a toner inlet portion
defined by the developing roller (21) and the slant face (25a)
is set at 12.5° or more, the angle of aperture counting in an
angle ψ of the slant face (25a), elastic deformation and radius
(R) of the developing roller (21), and an angle α related to a
nip width w on which the blade contacts with the developing roller
(21). Such an angle of aperture  provides a great allowance
for a free length ℓ of the blade (25), thereby permitting the
blade to maintain a constant toner mass for forming a uniform
toner layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thin-film component, for example a capacitor, a resistor and a coil, as well as combinations thereof. Said component comprises a substrate of an electrically insulating material (preferably glass), which is provided with two U-shaped side contacts and with an electrical structure which is electrically connected to both side contacts. The invention is characterized in that a flexible layer (preferably polyimide) is situated between the substrate and at least one of both legs of each of the U-shaped side contacts, which flexible layer is provided directly on the substrate surface, and in that the modulus of elasticity of the material of the layer is below 50 GPa. By virtue of this measure, it is achieved that the components demonstrate a better resistance to standard bending tests. As a result, the product-failure percentage is reduced if these components are employed in flexible PCBs or in PCBs which are subjected to a vibration.

Abstract: A laser controller (12) that has particular application for controlling a solid state diode
laser (10) including a series of gain modules and associated diode arrays. The laser controller
(12) includes a control console (44) including a touch screen (46) that allows a laser operator
to interface with the controller (12) to control the laser (10) and laser parameters. The control
console (44) includes a target monitor (50) that allows the operator to view the laser beam at a
reduced beam intensity for alignment and beam quality purposes. The laser controller (12)
further includes a computer (14) having a counter circuit (20) that outputs a signal to set the
pulse width and pulse rate of the laser beam output. This control allows the laser beam output
to be ramped from one beam intensity to another beam intensity during a laser operation. The
counter/timer circuit (24) and a series of end of pulse detectors (26) in the controller (12) allow
sequencing of the output signal to the various diode arrays in the gain modules so that the laser
beam output can be formed into a continuous wave. The computer (14) further includes a
pattern generator that outputs a signal that ramps a laser beam modulator to modulate the beam
output pulse into a stream of smaller, higher peak energy, pulses. The laser controller (12)
also includes a power supply interface system (58) that isolates the control computer (14) from
the primary power supplies (16) that provide power to the diode arrays. A laser mirror motor
control system (66) allows the operator to manually control the mirrors of the laser (10)
through the control console (44). Shut down electronics (70) bypass the computer (14) and
automatically shutdown the primary power supplies (16) in the event of a safety breach.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a method of
producing a plasma display panel in which the fluorescent
substance layer or the reflection layer is formed easily and
accurately even for a minute cell structure, and in which
the fluorescent substance layer or the reflection layer is
formed evenly in the channels between the partition walls
formed in stripes, or such a layer is formed also on the
sides of the partition walls. To achieve this purpose, a
fluorescent substance layer or a reflection layer is formed
by applying a fluorescent substance ink or a reflection
material ink continuously onto the channels, the ink being
spouted out from a nozzle which runs along the partition
walls. The nozzle may be directed to one side of the
plurality of partition walls while running. Pressure may be
put upon the ink having been applied onto the channels so
that the ink sticks to both sides of the partition walls.
The ink may be continuously spouted out from a nozzle while
a bridge is formed between the nozzle and both sides of the
partition walls by surface tension of the ink. A plate with
a plurality of partition walls and channels in between may
be formed so that adsorption of the sides of the channels
against the ink is higher than that of the bottom of the
channels.

Abstract: This invention discloses a hydrodynamic gas seal configuration which is
completely different from both the known Rayleigh bearing and other prior art.
Instead of the shallow, wide, and short single pocket geometry for the Rayleigh
bearing, and instead of the multiple depth grooves of the other prior art teachings, the
hydrodynamic seal in this invention has a sealing face with lift pockets therein that
are deep (normally in the range of about 0.010 inches (0.254 mm) to about 0.025
inches (0.635 mm) deep), narrow, long, multiple, coextensive, parallel, and single-depth.
This invention incorporates the same basic hydraulic principle of generating
pressure rise by the shearing gradient between the rotating shaft and stationary carbon
elements, and therefore produces a force which is opposite in direction to the rubbing
force generated by the ambient pressure drop across the seal. In this invention the
forces are more evenly balanced across the axial face of the seal ring segments,
thereby accommodating any conicity of the shaft race. Seals of both the
circumferential type and the face type are provided. Furthermore, the lift pockets are
of a depth sufficient that, in the event of wear on the sealing face, an increase in
pressure in the lift pockets occurs as a consequence of the reduction in depth to move
the seal member away from the rotating shaft, thereby causing the seal gap to be self-regulating
in size.
