Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the thermal treatment of metal products in a roller oven, in particular relatively thin steel articles which distort easily on heating, such as raceways for ball bearings, circular sheet blanks, saw blades and other cutting blades. The products are conveyed through the oven on ceramic rollers and thus heated, and very rapidly and uniformly cooled again so that no distortion occurs.

Abstract: A computer system provides emulation routines that cause a keyboard or mouse to appear to be present to the system software even when the devices are not physically installed. On system start up, this allows installation of appropriate device drivers by the operating system. If a keyboard or mouse is later installed, the emulation responses are discontinued, and a keyboard and mouse operate normally. When the system is placed in a standby state, the keyboard and mouse connectors are totally powered down. Before this power down, the BIOS routines save the configuration state of the keyboard and mouse as recorded by the emulation routines, which have been tracking commands sent to those devices even when those devices are operating. When power is re-enabled to the keyboard and mouse connectors, the configuration of those devices is restored from that saved configuration data. Further, the system detects whether a keyboard or mouse is installed on a particular connector and appropriately maps the keyboard and auxiliary ports to correspond to that connector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A phantom cornea for calibrating surgical lasers is formed by superimposition of thin-films of alternating colors. After ablation by a laser beam, the resulting spherical cavity appears as a pattern of nested circles whose concentricity and spacing reflect the alignment and intensity of the laser beam. These patterns can be visually or instrumentally analyzed to determine the proper setting of the laser. A monolayer or multi-layer thin film is used to determine, not only the ablative power of a laser beam, but also the variation of the ablative power over the full breadth of the beam by observing the area impinged by the beam between successive laser pulses. The calibration cornea can be planar, or arcuate to mimic the natural cornea. The calibration cornea may be mounted in a phantom eyeball including a removable iris of small diameter which constitutes a convenient target for the alignment of the laser beam.

Title: Radio frequency ion source
Inventor: LANGFORD MARIAN LESLEY
IPC: H01J27/16
Filed: 1995-12-14
Granted: 2001-09-19
Abstract: An rf ion source suitable for low power operation over a range of pressures in air comprises discharge electrodes having one or more cathodes (1) and an anode (2). Each cathode (1) is connected to an rf signal supply (8) through an associated coupling means (4) and the anode (2) is adapted to provide a surface area over which a plasma discharge may occur that is not substantially greater than the total cathodal area over which the discharge may occur. In this way the anode (2) presents no more useful surface than is required to accommodate the optimum area of the plasma discharge thereby preventing plasma wander and enhancing the stability of the discharge over known ion sources. By configuring the electrodes such that the respective areas of the anode and the cathode(s) over which discharge occurs are separated by no more than 5 mm and by forming the electrodes to have highly curved ends and so creating a higly distorted electric field in the inter-electrode gap when the source is in operation, it is possible to create an effective discharge with very low power input even at atmospheric p ressure.

As an object moves into the light beam, reflected light is received by two light sensors. An edge of an overlapping object moving along the defined path substantially blocks the light reflected from the underlying object from being received by one light sensor. The edges of an overlapping object are detected when a there is a difference in the amount of reflected light received by the light sensors and there exists a substantial rate of change in the amount of reflected light (indicative of a true edge of an overlapping object as opposed to warps, wrinkles, creases, etc. on the surface of an object) received by either light sensor due to the substantial blockage of reflected light by the edge. <IMAGE>
