Abstract: There is disclosed an array element examination method
in which a relative position of an array element can be
examined with a high resolution, in a broad range and
relatively inexpensively. Lights from fibers of a fiber array
are radiated to a lens array having optical axes corresponding
to the fibers arranged substantially parallel with one another,
and substantially parallel lights are fetched from the lens
array. In order to prevent any trouble from occurring even if
a photographing range is limited, images of the parallel
lights from the lens array are formed on the substantially
identical point by the image forming lens. The formed fiber
images are photographed by a CCD camera, and relative
positions of the elements are obtained from photographing
signals by a computer. It is determined from the deviation
from the identical point whether or not the fiber array is
good.

Abstract: Silicone gels are made by reacting an ≡Si-H
containing polysiloxane with an alpha-olefin and an alpha,
omega-diene. The reaction is conducted in the presence of a
platinum catalyst and a low molecular weight silicone oil or
other solvent. Herein, an ≡Si-H containing polysiloxane is
grafted by long chain alkyl groups from the alpha-olefin
onto the ≡Si-H containing polysiloxane and then crosslinked
with double bonds in the alpha, omega-diene, in the presence
of the low molecular weight silicone oil. The formed
silicone gel is then crumbled into a silicone powder by
application of mechanical force. When additional amounts of
low molecular weight silicone oil are added to the gel and
the silicone oil and the gel are subjected to shear force, a
silicone paste is conveniently formed.

Abstract: An emergency control system for selectively activating and deactivating an apparatus.
The system includes a fiber optic transmitter for emitting radiation and a fiber optic receiver for
receiving and measuring a wavelength and an intensity of the radiation. A manually-operated
fiber optic switch is placed in optical communication with the fiber optic transmitter and the fiber
optic receiver. In operation, the switch is selectively actuated, thereby selectively opening and
closing a fiber optic circuit defined by the transmitter, receiver, and the switch. The system
further includes a relay controller in communication with the fiber optic receiver, such that the
relay controller is actuated when the fiber optic receiver receives a predetermined wavelength
and intensity of radiation from the transmitter. When the relay controller is actuated, it allows a
signal to pass through the relay to a point of use. In this manner, the operation of the fiber optic
switch selectively controls the presence of the signal at the point of use, which can be a spring
loaded solenoid valve or other electro-mechanical actuator capable of deactivating an apparatus.

IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: Embedding a logic analyzer in a programmable logic device allows signals to be
captured both before and after a trigger condition (breakpoint). A logic analyzer
embedded within a PLD captures and stores logic signals. It unloads these signals for
viewing on a computer. Using an electronic design automation (EDA) software tool
running on a computer system, an engineer specifies signals of the PLD to be monitored,
a breakpoint, total number of samples to be stored, number of samples to be captured
after the breakpoint occurs, and a system clock signal. The EDA tool automatically
inserts the logic analyzer into the electronic design of the PLD which is compiled and
downloaded to configure the PLD. Using an interface connected between the PLD and
the computer, the EDA tool commands the embedded logic analyzer to run. Signals are
stored continuously while running in a ring buffer RAM memory. Once the breakpoint
occurs, more samples are captured if desired, in addition to those signals captured before
breakpoint. The EDA tool directs the logic analyzer to unload the data from its capture
buffer for display on a computer. The breakpoint and sample number can be changed
without recompiling. A JTAG port controls the logic analyzer. Inputs and outputs of the
logic analyzer are routed to unbonded JTAG-enabled I/O cells. Alternatively, a userimplemented
test data register provides a JTAG-like chain of logic elements through
which control and output information is shifted. Stimulus cells provide control
information to the logic analyzer, and sense cells retrieve data from the logic analyzer.

Abstract: An electric motor vehicle (10) includes an electric motor
(18) driving a step-down differential, axles (14l, 14r) and
drive wheels (12r, 12l). An operator control (24) produces
torque command signals, which are applied to a controller
(20) to command application of electric power to the motor
(18) in response to the torque commands, to achieve the
desired torque. The low friction of the electric drive, in
conjunction with the rotational compliance or imperfect
stiffness of the axles (14l, 14r), may result in low-frequency
surges or jerky motion, especially at low speeds.
A damping arrangement includes a differencing circuit (210)
coupled between the operator control (24) and the controller
(20), for taking the difference between the operator-commanded
torque and a damping torque signal. The damping
torque signal is produced by differentiating the electric
motor speed to produce a motor-acceleration representative
signal.
