Abstract: The present invention describes a method and apparatus in which solid gelatin chunks are liquefied, tempered, and debubbled in a single operation. The debubbling step is accomplished by evacuating and sealing off the loaded solid reservoir and heat exchanger before initiating the liquefying step. After the vacuum is applied, the gelled chunks are pressed into the heat exchanger, where heat is applied to the gelled chunks of photographic material. This liquefies the gelled chunks of photographic material. When the liquefied product gives a positive pressure at the heat exchanger outlet, the liquefied product is allowed to flow from the heat exchanger Liquefying and tempering are performed as the solid chunks are pushed through the heat exchanger by the reservoir piston.

Abstract: In a connector for use in connection between a pair of connection objects opposite to each other, each having a number of contact holes arranged in rows and columns in a contact matrix, a plurality of flat and elastic multi-contact members are used for connecting contacts in the contact holes of one connection object with contacts in the contact holes of the other connection object. Each of the multi-contact members comprises a flexible and flat insulator sheet and conductive layers formed on opposite surfaces of the sheet. At least one of the conductive layers are separated into a plurality of conductive strips corresponding to contact holes in one row of the contact matrix. The conductive strips are fitted into contact holes in the corresponding row of contact matrix at opposite ends of each of the multi-contact members. When the connection objects are relatively moved in the direction perpendicular to the first direction and the rows, the opposite ends of the conductive strips are brought into press contact with contact elements in the contact holes due to elastic deformation of the multi-contact member. One of the conductive layers on the opposite surfaces of the sheet can be an integral film overlying the corresponding surface. In that case, one of two contact elements in each of contact holes is used as ground contact to be brought into contact with the integral film.

Abstract: A low cost multipurpose electronic ballast for ultraviolet transilluminators and crosslinkers for starting and operating four or more ultraviolet lamps simultaneously. The electronic ballast is designed to be capable of operating with input voltages ranging from 85 volts AC to 250 volts AC and input frequencies ranging from 40 Hertz to 400 Hertz. The output to the lamps comes from a group of capacitors which control the current to the lamps. Because the output comes from capacitive ballasts in parallel, alternate sets of capacitors can be switched to alternate sets of lamps allowing the central ballast control to be used with different sets of lamps. By placing another set of capacitors in parallel with the existing output capacitors and making a momentary connection, a momentary power boost can be achieved. This feature also allows a variable intensity control comprised of a number of different size capacitors in series with the parallel group to vary the total current to all the lamps. Variable intensity can also be accomplished by reducing the input voltage with a variable resistor. These variable intensity controls can not reduce intensity to zero, but provide sufficient intensity variation range for the application. Changing the output capacitors provides the required current for different lamp wattages. This application is specifically designed for use with ultraviolet transilluminators and crosslinkers, allowing features not previously available. It is not beneficial for industrial lighting.

Abstract: A method of determining whether an electrolytic capacitor (100) is properly connected or reversed in an electronic assembly. In a first embodiment, a non-contacting probe (110) is placed near but not touching the body of the device under test (DUT). One terminal (104) of the DUT is driven by a stimulus (voltage source or current source) while the other terminal is connected to a reference voltage. A voltage (114) is measured at the probe (110) relative to the reference voltage and the device is properly oriented if the measured voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold. In a second embodiment, current through the probe (110) is measured instead of voltage at the probe (110) . In a third embodiment, a non-contacting probe (200) is placed near but not touching both leads of the DUT. Each DUT lead is alternately driven by a stimulus and alternately connected to a reference voltage (202). For each of the two lead test configurations, a voltage (208, 210, 218, 220) at each DUT lead is measured and current through the non-contacting probe (200) is measured. Two algebraic electromagnetic coupling coefficients (214, 216) are computed from the four voltage measurements and the two current measurements. The relative size of the electromagnetic coupling coefficients determines the measured polarity of the DUT. An alternative configuration for any of the embodiments is to drive the probe (110, 200) instead of a terminal of the DUT.

Abstract: Spring latching mechanisms for preventing relative rotation or relative displacement of assembled components (56a,94) during operation of a nuclear reactor. The first type of mechanism prevents rotation of a threaded fastener (54) which fastens a first component (94) to a second component (56a). The fastener (54) has a multiplicity of longitudinal recesses (54b) formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof. The spring latching mechanism has a cantilever beam (102) supported at one end by the first component (94). The other end of the cantilever beam is displaceable between first and second positions as the cantilever beam flexes. An interlocking member (102b) connected to the second end of the cantilever beam engages one of the longitudinal recesses in the fastener, whereby rotation of the fastener can be blocked. The second type of mechanism positively locates and prevents vibration-induced wear of first and second components assembled with play therebetween. The latter spring latching mechanism is a double cantilever spring installed between the first and second components in a flexed state with latched engagement and sufficient preload to prevent rubbing of the first and second components against each other. The double cantilever spring has one leg in contact with the first component and the other leg in contact with the second component.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for signal threshold adjustment that compensates for signal asymmetry which utilizes an algorithm to detect each side of an asymmetric signal (16) independently to ensure that the proper signal detection point is used on both the high (22) and low (24) side of the asymmetric signal. In particular, the high side threshold (T H ) is adjusted downwards a predetermined amount until detected, the high side threshold voltage (T H ) is then recorded (20) and reset to the maximum value. Correspondingly, the low side threshold (T L ) is then adjusted upwards the predetermined amount until detected, the low side threshold voltage (T L ) is then recorded (20) and reset to the minimum value. The algorithm may be repeated to continuously monitor a signal. The gain of the read amplifier can then be accordingly adjusted by the controller such that it approximately equals the peak of the amplified reference burst (16) to the predetermined value. The controller additionally utilizes the digital samples of the reference burst signal level for controlling the initial transverse position of the tape head assembly (10) on the magnetic media (14).
