Abstract: A double-beam interferometer for electromagnetic radiation and a method for the compensation of dispersion or increase in the spectral resolution of such an interferometer. Using a polarizer, which is brought into the optical radiation path, a defined polarization state P½0 is produced for the electromagnetic partial waves flowing into the arms of the interferometer. This polarization state is wavelength-independent and can vary for both partial beams. Optical elements modify the polarization state P½0 of the electromagnetic partial waves as a function of wavelength lambd and each spectral component lambdi is coded with a polarization P½ (lambdi). An analyzer, fitted to the output of the interferometer, transmits an adjustable polarization state Pdet, whereby an additional wavelength-dependent phase difference gamma(lambd) occurs between the partial waves of the spectral components. gamma(lambd) can be adjusted to obtain compensation of dispersion or an increase in the spectral resolution of the interferometer.

Abstract: A process of preparing a concentrate which is useful as a thickener for aqueous compositions is provided. The process comprises obtaining a solution of an associative thickener compound in an organic solvent capable of forming a low boiling azeotrope with water. The solution is essentially free of water at this point and is at a temperature above the boiling point of said low boiling azeotrope. Water is added to said solution and an azeotrope of water and said organic solvent is distilled. The rate of addition of water is sufficient to replace said azeotrope with water, but is insufficient to cause a second phase to form in the resulting mixture of said solution and said water. The process yields a concentrate of an associative thickener in water, which concentrate is essentially free of volatile organic solvents.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a system and method for testing component tolerances of a device (100) for testing integrated circuits. An electrical connection is established between electrical conductors (506) of a first and second test connector such that a first driver (402a) from a first circuit board (400a) is electrically connected across a low impedance path to a first receiver (404b) or PMU (406b) on a second circuit (400b). Then the output of the first driver (402a) is controlled to drive an electrical signal to a predetermined value, and evaluates the signal level received at the PMU (406b) on the second circuit board (400b). Finally, the output of the first driver (402a) is controlled to drive an electrical signal to a predetermined value across a low impedance path to the first receiver (404b) and verifies that, considering predetermined error of the first driver, the voltage level interpreted by the first receiver (404b) is within published ATE specifications. If so, then the system recognizes the tested components as being within specified tolerances. If not, the system flags the error and may take further appropriate, corrective action. Such corrective action may comprise initiating further testing or notifying (via e-mail or otherwise) relevant test personnel to conduct further manual testing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The motor (1) torque is transmitted through the flange (12) of a hub (11), keyed to the drive-shaft (2), to a plate (14) solidly connected to the torque limiter's input face (15). Flange and plate are connected by three equally spaced balls (16) retained, in holes (18) in the plate and in conical seats (17) in the flange, by a collar (19). A helical spring (20), seated in a grooved nut (21) on the threaded hub end, exerts pressure on the collar, adjustable by rotating the nut. If the torque, though below the limiter setting, exceeds a threshold dependent on this pressure, the balls, expelled from the seats, drive the collar towards the motor. A flange (9) on the collar approaches a proximity sensor (8), operates a contact-initiating an alarm, while torque transmission continues through contact of studs (22) on the plate with the sides of apertures (23) in the flange.

Abstract: Substantially transparent printing blankets are provided comprising a substantially transparent printing layer disposed upon a substantially transparent support layer. The substantial transparency of such printing blankets permits off-press introduction of knock-out areas. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by disposing the support layer of the printing blanket adjacent to a substrate which bears either an image to be printed or some other print transfer information (such as a negative) corresponding to the image. The print transfer information then is viewed through the printing blanket to identify portions of the underlying substrate which bear information indicating that print should not appear on a corresponding portion of the coated substrate. After such portions are identified, the printing layer is removed from the support layer in those areas of the printing blanket which are adjacent to the identified portions of the substrate.

Abstract: A dual injector (28) for an automated immunoassay instrument is provided which allows the sequential detection for two different chemiluminescence labels within one instrument. The injector has four carefully designed orifices (76, 78, 80, 82). The orifices are designed to work in two pairs. Orifices one (76) and two (78) can be used to inject trigger reagents A and B which can trigger a chemiluminescent reaction, such as acridinium. Orifices three (80) and four (82) can inject trigger reagents C and D for triggering a chemiluminescent reaction, such as luminol. The two pairs can be used in a sequential manner to generate signals in the wells of a cuvette. Thus, it is possible to run both acridinium and luminol based assays on one instrument. The injector is designed to fit into the wells of the cuvette and to inject the triggers in a manner which efficiently resuspends magnetic particles of one to eight microns in diameter. The design also prevents the contamination or carryover of trigger solutions from one orifice to another.

Abstract: An implantable system, such as a neural stimulator or a cochlear implant system, includes a rechargeable battery configuration having improved recharging and lifetime characteristics. The battery is housed within the implant's case and has first and second electrode plates. Each electrode plate has a plurality of slits that extend across a substantial portion of the plate's surface area. The slits in the electrode plates reduce the magnitude of eddy currents induced in the plates by external ac magnetic fields allowing faster battery recharging times. Alternatively, the electrode plates are wrapped in a spiral configuration such that, in the plane of the spiral, the electrode plates have a small cross-sectional area and no closed current loops. Additionally, the implant device may be housed in a case formed of a high-resistivity material and a circuit included in the implant device is configured to avoid large current loops that would result in eddy current heating. As a backup option, the circuitry of the implant device may optionally be powered from an external battery that inductively couples energy to the same coil that is used to charge the internal battery. In one embodiment, the implantable system is partitioned into first and second implantable cases, each having electrical circuitry therein, and only one having a rechargeable power source therein, facilitating its subsequent replacement for repair or upgrading purposes. The two cases are coupled together when the system is in use. Coupling is achieved either magnetically and/or with a detachable electrical cable. In one embodiment, power is transferred from one implant case to the other using a 3-phase transmission scheme.
