Abstract: The effect of vibration on an obstruction detection system for a vehicle
closure member is utilized to eliminate false identifications of an obstruction. The
effect of vibration is measured, and utilized to change the expected value or limits
relied upon to identify an obstruction. A characteristic such as speed is measured
when it moves away from a predicted value in a direction opposed to the direction
which would be indicative of an obstruction. In the case of speed, the system
measures speed movement above the predicted value. The control senses the
absolute value of the movement above the predicted speed value, and utilizes the
absolute value to compensate for an expected upcoming valley below the predicted
value. This compensation is either utilized to move the predicted value, or a limit,
further downwardly. In this way, the expected valley will not move below the limit,
which might otherwise result in a false indication of an obstruction. Although the
invention is disclosed in a system monitoring speed, systems monitoring power,
torque, etc. would also benefit from this technique.

Abstract: A maintenance center is allowed to access a remote
processor that is controlling a remote system at a remote site
having a central computer. This access is via the Internet going
through a firewall provided by the central processor except
when this Internet access is not operational. If the remote
processor cannot access the Internet then, a modem is enabled
on a remote maintenance unit that is part of the remote system
so that access can be obtained to the remote processor by the
maintenance center. This access is used by the maintenance
center to perform maintenance operations. The remote
processor is a PBX processor that is controlling a PBX, which is
providing telecommunication services. When the PBX
processor is no longer functional, a remote maintenance unit
having control and access to the PBX processor transmits a
message to a maintenance center indicating that the PBX
processor is non-operational and enables a modem to accept
incoming calls from the public telephone network allowing the
maintenance center access to the remote maintenance unit.
Once the PBX processor is again functional, the remote
maintenance unit will disable incoming calls to the modem.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide
an exhaust pipe used for discharging a gas from a reaction
vacuum chamber, which effectively prevents a substance
contained in the discharged gas from being deposited and
accumulated on an inner surface of the exhaust pipe. 
     An exhaust pipe 10 is characterized in that it
comprises an inner cylinder 11 having an exhaust gas
passage 10' formed therein, an outer cylinder provided
outside the inner cylinder with a gap 15 being formed
therebetween and a heating means 13 attached to the inner
cylinder 11, the gap 15 being communicated with the exhaust
gas passage 10'. When a gas is discharged from the
reaction vacuum chamber, a vacuum is created not only in
the exhaust gas passage 10' but also in the gap 15.
Therefore, release of heat from the heating means to the
outside can be suppressed. Consequently, the inner
cylinder 11 can be efficiently heated to a sufficiently
high temperature, thus preventing deposition and
accumulation of a substance contained in the discharged gas
on the inner surface of the inner cylinder 11. The
deposition and accumulation of such a substance can also be
prevented by forming a gas flow layer 18 of, for example,
an inert gas, along the inner surface of the inner cylinder
11.

Abstract: A method is provided for uniformly implanting a wafer with an ion beam. The wafer (20) is generally of the type with a surface area in the form of a disk with a diameter and center. The ion beam (14) is first formed as an elongated shape incident on the wafer, the shape having a length along a first axis smaller than the diameter, and a width shorter than the length along a second axis. Next, the wafer is translated at a variable translational velocity in a direction substantially parallel with the second axis. The wafer is also rotated substantially about the center (22) at a rotational velocity. The wafer is preferably translated such that the ion beam implants the wafer from one side of the wafer, across the surface area of the wafer, and through another side of the wafer, in a selected velocity versus position profile. The wafer is also tilted while rotating such that the ion beam implants the surface area at a substantially constant angle relative to a crystal axis of the wafer. The wafer can also be translated in a direction substantially parallel to the ion beam such that the ion beam implants the surface area with a substantially constant spot size. The methods of the invention also include determining beam current density of the ion beam, and adjusting the variable translational velocity, and rotational velocity, as a function of the current density.
