Granted: 1991-06-26
Abstract: In such a device for measuring the relative position of two objects (O4a, O4b), the division (TM4) of a scale (M4) connected to the first object (O4a) is scanned by a scanning unit (AE4) connected to the second object (O4b). The scale (M4) is arranged capable of a slight displacement in the measuring direction X on a scale carrier (G4) which is connected at the first end (G4a) directly to a first fastening element (BE4a), and is connected at the second end (G4b) with a translatory degree of freedom in the measurement direction X to a second fastening element (BE4b) via a length-compensating element (LE4); for their part, the two fastening elements (BE4a, BE4b) are fastened rigidly to the first object (O4a). For the purpose of temperature compensation of different thermal changes in length of the scale (M4) the scale carrier (G4) and the workpiece (W4), the scale (M4) is subjected at the second end (M4b) to the action of a spring element (FE4), which is connected to the translationally displaceable second end (G4b) of the scale carrier (G4). The spring constant of the spring element (FE4) is dimensioned such that in the event of temperature changes the relative change in length  DELTA L(M4)/L(M4) of the scale (M4) is equal to the relative change in length  DELTA L(W4)/L(W4) of the workpiece (W4).

Abstract: A method is provided for the rapid base sequencing of DNA or RNA fragments wherein a single fragment of DNA or RNA (40) is provided with identifiable bases (A, C, G) and suspended in a moving flow stream. An exonuclease (20) sequentially cleaves individual bases from the end of the suspended fragment. The moving flow stream (24) maintains the cleaved bases in an orderly train for subsequent detection and identification. In a particular embodiment, individual bases forming the DNA or RNA fragments are individually tagged with a characteristic fluorescent dye. The train of bases is then excited to fluorescence with an output spectrum characteristic of the individual bases (26). Accordingly, the base sequence of the original DNA or RNA fragment can be reconstructed.

Abstract: In conventional moving-image encoders, image areas are displaced block by block and it is not taken into account whether moving or unmoving image content exists within such blocks. In the process according to the invention, moving image contents are detected with the aid of an object mask and displaced independently of the surrounding unmoving image background. Instead of a block-oriented predicted image, an object-oriented predicted image is determined. For this purpose, shape and type of the moving image content is determined in the receiver from the motion information normally transmitted and the conventionally decoded image sequence and stored in an object mask which continuously tracks moving objects. Using this object mask, an improved display image can be generated by copying the image background from an image store. The method according to the invention leads to a qualitatively improved reproduction of coded moving-image sequences. In addition, intermediate images can be generated in which moving image content is also displaced independently of the image background.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for decreasing the memory requirements of BIOS in a personal computer system (10) includes storing a first portion of BIOS in memory and a second portion on a direct storage access device. The personal computer system (10) comprises a system processor (26), a random access main memory, a read only memory (36), and at least one direct access storage device (62,66). The read only memory (36) includes the first portion of BIOS and data representing the type of system processor (26) and system planar (24) I/O configuration. The first portion of BIOS only includes routines for initializing the system (10) and the direct access storage device (62,66) to read in a master boot record into the system (10) from the direct access storage device (62,66). The master boot record includes a data segment (122-138) and an executable code segment (120). The data segment (122-138) includes data representing system hardware and a system configuration which is supported by the master boot record. The first BIOS portion confirms the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware by verifying that the data from the data segment (122-138) of the master boot record agrees with the system processor (26), system planar (24), and planar (24) I/O configuration. If the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware, the first BIOS portion vectors the system processor (26) to execute the executable code segment (120) of the master boot record. The executable code segment (120) confirms that the system conf iguration has not changed and loads in the remaining BIOS portion from the direct access storage device (62,66) into random access memory (32) superseding the first BIOS portion. The executable code segment (120) then verifies the authenticity of the remaining BIOS portion and vectors the system processor (26) to begin executing the remaining BIOS now in random access memory (32). The remaining BIOS in main memory includes reusable routines for operating the system (10) in a normal manner.

Abstract: The material separation process takes place by machine by comminuting (1) the objects (G) in the mixture so that particles of either non-metallic or metallic material are formed. The particle mixture is subsequently screened (2) of fine parts and then separated (5) electrostatically into a non-metallic (N) and a metallic (M) granulate fraction. The material separation takes place with a high degree of separation, i.e. pure granulate fractions (N) and (M) are produced with only small residual parts of the respective other material. Applications of the process on different kinds of piece goods made of composite material with non-metallic and non-magnetic metal portions are described, such as bottle tops, defective incandescent or fluorescent lamps, processing waste or manufacturing waste of composite materials, for example lined metal foil or aluminium sandwich plates. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical beam steering device (10) incorporates a laser (12), three Brillouin shifters (22 to 26, 44 to 48, 54 to 58), a four wave mixing cell (40) and a low power beam steering device (62). The first shifter (22 to 26) and the mixing cell (40) contain TiCl 4, and the other shifters (44 to 48, 54 to 58) contain 20 % CCl4/80 % CS2. The first and third shifters (22 to 26, 54 to 58) frequency downshift the laser beam (16) by δξA and δξB respectively. Light (16') from the first shifter (22 to 26) is amplified and provides a first pump beam input to the mixing cell (40). It then passes to the second shifter (44 to 48), for frequency downshifting by δξB and returns as a second cell pump beam (16''). Light (18') from the third shifter (54 to 58) passes via the low power beam steering device (62) to the cell (40) as a weak input signal beam (18''). The cell (40) responds to the pump beams (16', 16'') and signal beam (18'') by generating a high power beam (68) which is a phase conjugate of the signal beam (18'') and retraces part of its steered path.
