IPC: G01J4/00
Filed: 1994-05-27
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the angle of maximum absorbance, Θmax, specific dichroism, ΔA/A, and absorbance, A of a sheet of optically anisotropic material is diclosed. A beam of unpolarised light from a source (40) passes through a sheet (S) placed in the optical path (20) to the detector (50). The detector includes optics assembly (60), polarisation filter (70), band pass filter (80) and photomultuplier (90). The polarisation filter rotates rapidly at freq., f. Polarised light intensity, I, detected at (90) is applied to the analysis subsystem (14) and the results supplied to the control  recording subsystem (16). If the sheet material has a preferred axis of absorption (P), then the photomultiplier (90) produces a signal, Is, varying sinusoidally in amplitude at freq., 2f. When the angle of the polarisation filter (70) aligns with (P), maximum absorbance occurs and the angle is denoted Θmax. The absorbance of the sheet material is defined as A=log(F.Io/Is) where Io is the signal produced at (90) in the absence of the sheet material, Is the signal with it present, and F is a reflection loss factor. Specific dichroism is obtained from the formula:       ΔA/A=2.(Amax-Amin)/(Amax+Amin)          where Amax, Amin are the absorbances with the polarisation filter parallel and perpendicular to (P).

Abstract: According to the invention, by configuring the battery housing (3) and the lamp housing (8) in such a manner that the adjacent contact faces (7, 14) form an angle of 45° with the normal plane of the lamp, the parts (3, 8) can be assembled in two different positions in order to form a vertical type (fig. 1) and an horizontal type (fig. 2), respectively. 
     This simplifies the production due to the reduced number of parts and at the same time it implies correspondingly reduced transportation and storage costs.

Abstract: A suction-type blood sampler has a housing (1), a lancet unit (2) having a rod (4) extending backward from the lancet unit, and a plunger (3) connected to the rod in the housing and having a seal (7) attached to a forward end of the plunger. The seal is in sliding airtight contact with an inner periphery of the housing. The lancet unit consists of a lancet body (11) having a forwardly extending needle (12) and held by a lancet retainer (18) which is in sliding contact with the inner periphery. The blood sampler further has first, second and third springs (8, 9, 10) placed between the lancet unit and the plunger. The second spring urges the lancet unit to project the needle forwards, and the third spring tends to retract it. The first spring acts to reduce air pressure in the housing when the plunger is released. The blood sampler also has a checking means (32) disposed in the plunger so as to exhaust air and inhibit ambient air from entering the housing, so that the skin is pierced sharply and quickly, and by introducing ambient air into the evacuated housing, just a required amount of blood can be taken accurately and without any fear that the blood will scatter when the open end of the housing is removed from the skin.

Abstract: A video recorder compatible receiver for receiving video data from a video recorder such as a video tape recorder ("VTR"). The receiver includes an error concealment circuit (220), a digital VTR port (206) adapted for coupling to a VTR and/or a tuner module (204). The receiver receives digital video data from the VTR by either the digital VTR port (206) or the tuner module (204). VTR commands may also be received from a VTR. Upon receiving a VTR command indicating that the VTR is operating in trick play mode or upon detecting video data that is indicative of VTR trick play operation, the error concealment circuit of the receiver disables normal play error concealment and enables trick play error concealment. The error concealment circuit may perform temporal (224) and spatial (222) filtering on the video data received from the VTR when trick play error concealment is enabled.

Abstract: A modified hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) precursor is disclosed, along with methods for depositing such a precursor on a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor device having a dielectric thin film deposited from such a precursor. The method comprises coating a semiconductor substrate 10, which typically comprises conductors 12, with a film of a modified HSQ film precursor. The HSQ film precursor comprises a hydrogen silsesquioxane resin and a modifying agent, preferably selected from the group consisting of alkyl alkoxysilanes, fluorinated alkyl alkoxysilanes, and combinations thereof. The method further comprises curing film 14, wherein the inclusion of the modifying agent inhibits oxidation and/or water absorption by the film during and/or after curing. It is believed that the modifying agent modifies film surface 16 to produce this effect. Films produced according to the present invention apparently have repeatable dielectric properties for drying and curing conditions which produced widely varying properties for unmodified films.

Abstract: The interpolation of a processing path in an axial drive is stopped before an end stage specified by an axis-specific software end switch. It is determined, for each interpolation stage for each axis whether the axle can be brought to a standstill during braking with max. axial brake deceleration. If the axle cannot be stopped in time, it is not interpolated further. The axle is immediately braked with its max. axial brake deceleration and released from its interpolation. The axles which are still interpolated are then braked with the processing path-specific brake deceleration.

Abstract: A low-power stop mode "snooze" timer is implemented in the processing unit of a communication system, which runs without the use of the usual crystal-controlled oscillator. The "snooze" timer is implemented by a second oscillator with associated timer circuit. The second oscillator runs continually and feeds a timer which is loaded with a suitable value. The timer, when timed out or expired, will reactivate the main processing functions, thus allowing the successful reception of an external signal from a remote transmission source. To compensate for the inaccuracy of the second oscillator due to its dependence upon voltage, process and temperature, the snooze timer's output is calibrated during the wake-up periods against a timing signal derived from the internal crystal-controlled timing source. This calibration compensates for the inherent frequency instability of the second oscillator and allows a timing signal of sufficient accuracy to be maintained over the stop cycle.

Abstract: An improved method for isolating electrical conductors which are positioned over each other is disclosed. These conductors would normally contact each other because of the somewhat imprecise patterning and etching steps used to fabricate a multitude of conductive elements, e.g., in a very dense semiconductor structure. The method involves forming a recess in the upper surface of the lower conductor, and then at least partially filling the recess with an oxide-type material. This method is particularly valuable in the construction of stacked capacitor cells. Cells prepared using this technique also form part of this invention.
