Abstract: Information is recorded by preparing a recording medium having a recording layer on an electroconductive substrate transmitting electromagnetic wave and an electroconductive optical probe arranged proximate to the recording medium, and applying a voltage between the substrate and the optical probe. The recorded information is read by irradiating electromagnetic wave, preferably with a plurality of wavelengths, on the recording layer from the substrate side, and detecting electromagnetic wave oozed out on the surface of the recording layer by the optical probe. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The visualisation method involves using an object designation system (1). The system determines, relatively to a reference position, an azimuth and a site angles of the object (31) direction. The azimuth angle is carried over on a two-dimensional display (6) w.r.t a corresponding direction from the reference position representation. The site angle is carried over as an object representation according to the azimuth angle direction and at a distance from the reference position which is function of the site angle. The designation system may comprise a passive IR detector (2) with a scanning device (3). This is arranged to determine the direction and elevation of the line of sight to the object relative to a reference direction, leading to the information of a two dimensional view on a screen. The speed vector of the object is also estimated, and a predicted line of travel is determined. use/ <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method of and apparatus for stereolithographically forming a three-dimensional object from layers of a material capable of physical transformation upon exposure to synergistic stimulation. The object is formed by receiving data descriptive of cross-sections of the three-dimensional object, forming layers of said material, and selectively exposing said layers to synergistic stimulation according to said data descriptive of said cross-sections to build up the three-dimensional object layer-by-layer. The data descriptive of at least a portion of at least one cross-section is modified by shifting or copying the data from a first cross-section to a second cross-section which is located at least one layer thickness from said first cross-section and using said modified data in forming said three-dimensional object.

Abstract: A network of localizers determines relative locations in three-dimensional space to within 1 cm by cooperatively measuring propagation times of pseudorandom sequences of electromagnetic impulses. Ranging transmissions may include encoded digital information to increase accuracy. The propagation time is determined from a correlator circuit which provides an analog pseudo-autocorrelation function sampled at discrete time bins. The correlator has a number of integrators, each integrator providing a signal proportional to the time integral of the product of the expected pulse sequence delayed by one of the discrete time bins, and the non-delayed received antenna signal. With the impulses organized as doublets the sampled correlator output can vary considerably in shape depending on where the autocorrelation function peak falls in relation to the nearest bin. Using pattern recognition the time of arrival of the received signal can be determined to within a time much smaller than the separation between bins. Because operation of standard CMOS circuitry generates noise over a large frequency range, only low-noise circuitry operates during transmission and reception. To provide the time accuracy necessary for distancing, a high-frequency clock operates during inter-localizer communications. The high-frequency clock uses a phase-lock loop circuit to increase the clock rate and a programmable delay to provide still finer time graduations. A stage in the low-frequency clock uses low-noise circuitry during transmissions and receptions, and standard circuitry at other times.

Abstract: A method of producing flank surface modifications in gear teeth by controlled removal of stock material from a work gear with a tool. The method comprises providing a gear producing machine the tool and work gear being movable with respect to one another along and/or about a plurality of axes. A theoretical basic machine is provided comprising a plurality of machine settings for relatively positioning and moving said tool and work gear with respect to one another. Each of the machine settings is defined as an active setting with each active setting being represented by a function. A desired tooth flank surface modification is determined and defined by a set of coefficients for each of the active settings. The function for each active setting is then determined based upon the respective coefficients for each active setting and the functions are transformed from the theoretical machine to the axes arrangement of the gear producing machine. By this transformation, active settings movement defined on the theoretical machine is carried out on one or more of the axes of the gear producing machine to remove stock material from the work gear with the tool in accordance with the active setting functions of the basic machine.
