Abstract: A system for decoding locks having a sequence of spring-urged sliding members such as tumbler pins or wafers includes a probe device having the general contour of a key having a head portion and a straight shank fabricated of electrically insulative material and terminating in a tip portion having an oblique ramp surface. A series of spaced apart electrical conductors embedded within the shank in parallel relationship extend from the head portion to the ramp surface where they emerge as electrical contacts. An electrical circuit which includes an electronic monitoring and display apparatus detects when a given sliding member touches a most distant electrical contact, thereby representing a travel distance. The travel distance is correlated with a particular pin or wafer to produce the key code for the lock.

Abstract: Une bague d'étanchéité d'une boîte d'étanchéité présente des caractéristiques de profondeur de microtopographie, telles que des surfaces ondulées ou des rainures radiales formées dans la face d'étanchéité, qui définissent une région d'étanchéité hydrodynamique entre des faces d'étanchéité opposées. Lesdites caractéristiques sont formées par un laser excimère dont la forme du faisceau a des bords latéraux non linéaires définissant des zones latérales convergentes dudit faisceau. Ces dernières sont définies par des sections de bords latéraux qui convergent les unes vers les autres et sont de préférence non linéaires. La forme du faisceau peut être, par exemple, circulaire ou elliptique. Dans un premier temps, le faisceau laser coupe,de manière répétée, la même voie du faisceau pour définir une coupe dotée d'une profondeur accrue, ledit faisceau étant déplacé petit à petit latéralement pour définir plusieurs coupes de faisceau adjacentes formant la caractéristique de microtopographie, telle qu'un sillon sur une face ondulée, une rainure radiale ou similaire. A mesure que le faisceau laser coupe des rainures parallèles adjacentes, un faisceau latéralement adjacent passe, les deux faisceaux se chevauchent et mélangent les bords des rainures latéralement adjacentes. Ledit procédé de cette invention concerne des caractéristiques de profondeur de microtopographie qui sont définies avec précision pour améliorer l'efficacité de la bague d'étanchéité.
