Abstract: A system for detecting the passage of superposed notes
along a feed path. The system includes a sensing station
(12) through which the feed path passes and which has a
filament lamp (48) and an optical sensor (50). The
magnitude of an output signal of the optical sensor is
dependent on the intensity of the received light. A
microcontroller (52) establishes a threshold value of the
output signal by setting the intensity of light emitted from
the lamp, when there is no note in the sensing station, to a
first level. A pulse width modulator (56) increases the
intensity of emitted light from the first level to a second
level so that when there is one note present at the sensing
station the output signal is above the threshold level. The
intensity of emitted light is maintained at the second level
whereby superposed notes cause a substantial fall in the
output signal of the optical sensor. The microcontroller
monitors the output signal to detect this. 
     This system can be used in place of more complicated
and expensive superposed sheet detect systems such as those
incorporating co-operating rollers.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant d'enduire un fil à coudre d'une composition durcissable par rayonnement et elle concerne également le fil à coudre enduit obtenu. Le fil à coudre est enduit d'une composition durcissable par rayonnement qui déploie un durcissement auto-entretenu après avoir été exposée à un rayonnement. On applique la composition selon des techniques de revêtement par contact afin d'enduire et imprégner le fil de résine. Le fil enduit est ensuite exposé à un rayonnement destiné à durcir le revêtement. Etant donné que le durcissement est auto-entretenu, la composition réagit de façon plus profonde et plus complète de façon qu'elle forme un revêtement à durabilité augmentée et susceptibilité réduite au pelage et à l'écaillage lors de son utilisation dans des applications industrielles exigeantes.

Abstract: In an infrared-rays detector, a pyroelectric
element detects existence or movement of a human body, and
the output signal of the pyroelectric element is converted
to a voltage signal. Then, the voltage signal is subjected
to waveform analysis. Then, a detection signal is
outputted only when a waveform generated by a human body is
detected by the waveform analysis. For example, the
voltage signal is amplified at two different frequency
ranges, and the amplified signals are used for
discriminating a signal due to a human body. Then, a noise
such as a popcorn noise of the pyroelectric element is
prevented to be detected erroneously as generated by a
human body.

Abstract: Current density distributions of the ion beam in the
scanning direction (the direction of X) at two points Z f 
and Z b  on Z-coordinate are respectively measured by Faraday
arrays. Using the thus measured current density
distributions, a current density distribution in the
scanning direction of the ion beam at an arbitrary position
on Z-coordinate located in a workpiece is found by the
method of interpolation. Using the thus found current
density distribution, a waveform of scanning voltage V(t)
of the ion beam is reformed so that a scanning speed of the
ion beam can be relatively decreased at a position where
the current density must be raised in the current density
distribution and a scanning speed of the ion beam can be
relatively increased at a position where the current
density must be lowered. Due to the foregoing, a current
density distribution in the scanning direction of the ion
beam at an arbitrary position on Z-coordinate located in
the workpiece is adjusted to a desired distribution.

Abstract: A transmission line (20) of the present invention
produces a small loss and offers good production efficiency
at low cost. In the structure of the transmission line
(20), two strip line electrodes (22a, b) are stacked via a
dielectric layer (21c), while being mutually connected by
via holes (23) disposed at distances (L) not exceeding 1/4
of the wavelength of the highest frequency used in the
longitudinal direction (Z) of the line electrodes (22a, b).
In addition, first ground electrodes (24a, b) are disposed
separated by other dielectric layers (21a, b) with respect
to the line electrodes (22a, b). With this arrangement,
current concentration at the side edges of the line
electrodes (22a, b) is reduced and losses in the
transmission line (20) can thereby be reduced. Moreover,
since the transmission line (20) can be produced in the same
process, production efficiency can be enhanced to achieve
cost reduction.
