Abstract: A probe (20) for measuring distances of clinical interest in a patent undergoing dental treatment comprises a probe member (78; 306) which is extendable from a first to a second point. A measurement apparatus (136; 182) in a housing (68; 300) provides an output signal representative of the distance between the two points. An analyzer (32, 48) responsive to the output signal determines the distance. A friction mechanism (69, 94, 96) assures that a predetermined amount of force is applied to the probe, making repetitive measurements accurate and avoiding damage to tissues. A microcomputer (32) and printer (48) analyze the data and present the data in a useful format. The tip (64; 308) of the probe (20) is provided with storage apertures (314) for use in delivering medication via the probe member (78; 306). The probe (20) is provided with an optical fibre cable and an optical encoder (182) which is supported for rotary motion within the sleeve (69) of the housing (68, 300) for eliminating cable twist evolved during manipulation. The tip (64; 308) of the probe (20) is replaceable and provided with a frangible support (338) which prevents reuse.

Abstract: A micromechanical light modulator (10) is used to couple light signals between selected pairs of a plurality of optical fibers (30-34) so as to provide multiplexing and/or demultiplexing of the light signals. The surface of the deflectable member (12) of the micromechanical light modulator is concave (14), while the ends of the optical fibers face the member and lie on a circle the radius of which is substantially equal to the radius of curvature (R) of the concave surface of the deflectable member. The degree of deflection of the member determines which pair of optical fibers is coupled.

Abstract: 2.1. Based on continually more stringent requirements for the image quality of autostereoscopic perspective representations and parallax panoramagrams, the aim is to avoid reflected undesired light on the lenticular screen and to improve the selectivity in the lateral edge zones of the lenticular screen and in the outer panorama fields. It is always to be possible in this case to carry out improvements using simple means and thus economically. 2.2. According to the invention, the intensity of the undesired reflected light is reduced by means of lateral spreading in such a way that it can scarcely be perceived any longer by the observer. The lateral spreading is performed by as irregular as possible a relief structure (R) in the micrometer range on the surface (3) of the lenticular screen (1). The improvement in the selectivity is achieved by a correction of the pitch widths P of the cylindrical lens (2). Moreover, it is then possible to vary the screen thickness T and then, in addition, the radius of curvature K of the cylindrical lens (2). 2.3. Lenticular screens for the perception of autostereoscopic images, in particular large-image projection screens. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The standard FDDI priority algorithm is implemented by programming Token Holding Time (THT) threshold values for asynchronous service either in an increasing or decreasing order as a function of token holding time. If the thresholds are programmed in a decreasing order, all higher priority data is sent to the network before any lower priority data is sent. If the thresholds are programmed in an increasing order, highest priority data is sent first, until the unexpired token holding time falls below the threshold value for that priority; the next lower priority level data then is transmitted, and so on. Accordingly, at least some data of all priority assignments pending for transmission are sent to the medium during each token capture.

Abstract: Several different embodiments are disclosed of a simple, compact or miniature bar code scanner which is capable of scanning in any one of several modes. In a preferred embodiment, the compact bar code scanner is used in a small housing mounted on an index finger of an operator such that the natural pointing direction of the index finger aims the scan - ner. In one embodiment, a high frequency flexural member, with a scanning mirror and permanent magnet mounted thereon, is supported by a low frequency flexural member. An x drive coil is posi - tioned by the permanent magnet, and with an applied high frequency x drive signal, causes the high frequency flexural member, with the permanent magnet means and scanning mirror mounted there - on, to torsionally oscillate at the frequency of the x drive signal. A y drive coil is also positioned by the permanent magnet, and with an applied low fre - quency y drive signal, causes the low frequency flexural member to oscillate to cause low frequency y scanning of the scanning mirror, thereby resulting in a raster scan pattern. With an applied high frequency y drive signal, the y coil causes the high frequency flexural member to oscillate at a high frequency to cause high frequency y scanning of the mirror, thereby resulting in an omnidirectional scan pattern. In several disclosed embodiments, the present invention provides a mirrorless beam scan - ning unit mounted in a finger size ring wherein a light emitter such as a visible light diode is moved back and forth.

Abstract: A system for heating and feeding polymer coated powder to a heated die cavity of a compacting press. The system comprises at least one heated vertical pipe for heating the polymer coated powder and for delivering the polymer coated powder by gravity from source thereof to the entry end of at least one horizontally oriented auger conveyor. The at least one auger conveyor is heated and imparts heat to the individual powder particles through a mixing action. The at least one auger conveyor delivers the polymer coated powder to the heated hopper of a shuttle assembly. The shuttle assembly is shiftable between a retracted position wherein the polymer coated powder is discharged from the shuttle hopper to a heated powder ring, to an extended position wherein the polymer coated powder is discharged from the powder ring to the heated die cavity of the compacting press. The system heats the individual particles of the polymer coated powder to a temperature just below the coagulation point thereof. The temperature of the polymer coated powder is rapidly increased to the "set" point by the combination of the heated die cavity and the energy imparted during the actual compacting stroke.
