Abstract: A system for analyzing three-dimensional seismic data includes a plurality of digitizer units (7), each with a configuration of geophones (8), a data recording and control center (12), a base GPS receiver with an associated antenna (5) with a substantially unrestricted view of the sky and at the respective digitizer units (7) low-power slave GPS  receivers (6) that acquire and track GPS satellite (9) signals using tracking assistance information provided by the base GPS receiver. The slave GPS receivers (6) use the tracking assistance information to acquire and track GPS satellite signals that may be relatively weak at the receivers, due to conditions at the site, such as foliage canopies (11) and so forth. The system processes range information provided by the slave GPS  receivers (6) over an extended period of time. In this way, the precise positions of the respective slave GPS receivers (6), and thus, the digitizer units, can be calculated, even if the slave GPS  receivers (6) are able to observe and collect data from sets of two or more satellites (9) for only three or four relatively short time intervals at various sky positions during the extended period. The slave GPS receivers (6) then locally produce for the digitizer units (7) timing signals that are based on the GPS codes and synchronized across the system. If a given slave GPS receiver (6) cannot, at a given time, track any GPS  satellite signals, a nearby slave GPS receiver (6) supplies the timing information required for the geophone data gathering operations.

Abstract: In this invention, a tool drive unit (53) of a friction stir spot welding device is configured to move a pin member (11) and a shoulder member (12) forward and backward, and is controlled by a tool drive control unit (21). A press-fit reference point setting unit (22) sets the position of the pin member (11) or the shoulder member (12) when contacting an object to be welded (60) as the press-fit reference point. The tool drive control unit (21) controls the press-fit depth when a rotating tool (51) press-fits the object to be welded (60) starting at the surface thereof by controlling the relative location of the pin member (11) in relation to the shoulder member (12) based on the press-fit reference point. Thus, good welding quality with suitable precision in accordance with welding conditions can be achieved, especially with a double-acting type friction stir spot welding method.

Abstract: A system for providing continuous high frequency oscillation therapy is disclosed. A  pulse generator comprises a valve stem which fluidly connects two ports when pressure in one of the two ports exceeds a threshold force. Fluidic connection between the two ports allows for fluid to flow back through an orifice and a needle valve to the pulse generator, the orifice and needle valve are components external to the pulse generator. Gases flowing through the needle valve and to the pulse generator apply a force on a diaphragm which deforms and pushes a valve button when gases flowing through the needle valve exceed a threshold. Motion of the valve button due to deformation of the diaphragm causes the valve button to exert force on the valve stem reducing fluid flow between the two ports. Reduction in fluid flow between the two ports causes drop in pressure of the gas flowing through the needle valve back into the pulse generator thereby reducing the force seeking to deform the first diaphragm move the valve button. The valve button falls back thereby allowing increased fluidic communication between the two ports again. This cyclical supply of high pressure gas is used for therapeutic purposes to provide high frequency oscillation.

Title: Looped ionization source
Inventor: LEVIN DANIEL
IPC: H01J49/12
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: Looped ionization sources for ion mobility spectrometers are described. The ionization sources can be used to ionize molecules from a sample of interest in order to identify the molecules based on the ions. In an implementation, an electrical ionization source includes a wire that is looped between electrical contacts. The wire is used to form a corona responsive to application of voltage between the wire and the walls of an ionization chamber. The corona can form when a sufficient voltage is applied between the wire and the walls. A difference in electrical potential between the wire and a wall forming an ionization chamber, in which wire is contained, can be used to draw the ions away from the wire. In embodiments, the wire can be heated to reduce the voltage used to strike the corona. The ions, subsequently, may ionize the molecules from the sample of interest. The looped corona source can also be used in mass spectrometers (MS).
