Abstract: A method and an apparatus for handling objects, in particular discs such as CD's having an aperture therein defining a rim. The apparatus comprises a first set of jaws moveable towards and away from one another and a second set of jaws moveable towards and away from one another. In use, the jaws of each set may be moved apart to exert a radial gripping force on the rims of the objects. The second set of jaws is extendible and retractable axially. By operating the sets of jaws through sequences of extension, gripping, retraction and releasing, the objects can be loaded onto or off of the apparatus. The gripping action of the jaws allows the apparatus to hold the objects in any orientation.

Abstract: An injection needle particularly intended for transferring a representative fluid sample into a sample bottle (1) which is closed by a membrane (2) made from a rubber elastic material. The needle comprises a tubular inner wall (6) having a needle point (8), and a tubular outer wall (10) concentrically surrounding and radially spaced from the inner wall (6) at least along a portion thereof distant from the needle point (8) and, at its end facing the needle point, having a conically tapering portion (12) sealingly engaging the inner wall (6). The outer wall (10) is provided with at least two apertures (14, 16) spaced longitudinally of the needle. When using the injection needle for the above purpose, fluid is injected into the sample bottle (1) from a fluid source of interest, by inserting the injection needle into the sample bottle through the membrane to a level at which the penetrated portion of the membrane (2) sealingly engages the outer wall (10) of the needle between the spaced apertures (14, 16) in the outer wall, such that initially some of the fluid that is injected into the bottle is allowed to flow into the annulus between the inner and outer walls of the needle (4), through the aperture (14) of the outer wall at the inside of the membrane, and hence out through the aperture (16) of the outer wall at the outside of the membrane.

Abstract: In drives for optical storage media, a focus error signal generated by means of weighted addition from main beam and secondary beam focus error signals always contains an undesired component of the track error signal whenever the weighting factors are not exactly tuned to the optical and mechanical properties of the drive actually present and of the storage medium. The invention describes methods for tuning the weighting factors automatically to these properties. The methods are suitable for use directly after the insertion of the storage medium, while some can also be applied without interruption during the writing or reading operation.

Abstract: In order to be acceptable for safety critical applications, it is necessary for an electrical machine to allow continued operation despite an electrical short circuit in one of the operational phases of that electrical machine. It will be appreciated that an electrical short circuit creates excessive electrical current through the short circuit with significant heating and other detrimental effects. However, the electrical machine can operate with one operational phase disabled. In such circumstances, the present invention incorporates means for determining an electrical short circuit has occurred and then injects an electrical current approximately equal to or greater than the rated electrical current. In such circumstances, the operational phase or coil 4, 24, 34 is effectively protected despite the electrical short circuit and hence the electrical machine can continue to operate.

Abstract: The present invention presents a number of methods for identifying cells with poor subthreshold slope and reduced transconductance. A first set of techniques focuses on the poor subthreshold behaviour of degraded storage elements by cycling cells and then programming them to a state above the ground state and the reading them with a control gate voltage below the threshold voltage of this state to see if they still conduct. A second set of embodiments focuses on weak transconductance behaviour by reading programmed cells with a control gate voltage well above the threshold voltage. A third set of embodiments alters the voltage levels at the source-drain regions of the storage elements. The current-voltage curve of a good storage element is relatively stable under this shift in bias conditions, while degraded elements exhibit a larger shift. The amount of shift can be used to differentiate the good elements from the bad.
