Title: Device for measuring and recording forces
IPC: G01L23/06
Filed: 1985-12-23
Abstract: A force-measuring device (1) supplies measured force values electrically to a control and calculating device (2). The latter stores the values received in this way and calculates sliding averages therefrom; it controls a display device (3) whose purpose is to give a graphical display of the successive values measured by the force-measuring device (1), or of the successive sliding averages of these successive measured values. The instrument has the advantage of visualizing the variation of a force with time, which is very useful in the case of the force developed by a user on a physical training apparatus, or in the case of the change of the weight of a subject with time.
Patent EP-0189869-A3 (EP)
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 1986-01-24
Abstract: An improved step and repeat alignment and exposure 
system for printing an image of a reticle onto a semiconduc­
tive wafer. A projection lens, such as a unit magnification 
catadioptric lens, projects the reticle image onto the semi­
conductive wafer. The semiconductive wafer is supported on 
stage means, which stage means provide motion in the X, Y 
directions. Novel viewing port means supplement the projec­
tion lens to provide a direct view of a portion of the 
semiconductive wafer which portion has been illuminated by 
the projected reticle image. In one embodiment a viewing 
port is formed in the mirror of a catadioptric lens by way of 
either a physical aperture or transmissive coatings. Off axis 
viewing of images through the viewing port is provided to 
provide telecentric images. A novel microscope structure is 
employed with large aperture focusing lenses to permit the 
infinity corrected objectives to translate about the field of 
view of the viewing port means without the requirement that 
any utilization device also translate in unison. Means are also 
provided for calibrating the position of the stage with respect 
to the reticle. Included are stage reference means which 
image a stage reference mark into the image plane of the unit 
magnification catadioptric lens when said stage reference 
means are illuminated by the projected reticle image. Means 
are provided for determining offset values between the 
projected reticle image and the stage reference mark and for 
utilizing said offsets in controlling the position of the stage. A 
novel reticle alignment window array and alignment mark 
are disclosed which provide both direction and degree of 
misalignment information without the requirement of rela­
tive motion between the reticle and semiconductive wafer. 
Also employed is a subsystem which is responsive to the 
relative amounts of light being provided in the image of the 
alignment mark as a function of the proportion of the 
alignment mark being illuminated by the images of each of 
the alignment windows in the array so that a real-time 
alignment correction can be obtained.

Filed: 1986-10-07
Abstract: An echo receiving system has an antenna (14, 18) or 
transducer for periodically scanning a region for echo returns 
obtained in polar coordinates and a display device (26) for 
providing a visual display of such received echo returns in a 
rectangular raster format. A scan converter (24) is responsive 
to the echo returns obtained in polar coordinates for convert­
ing these returns into rectangular coordinates. The resulting 
data is processed by means (28) for modifying the coordinate 
converted returns, whereby the displayed data is a function of 
the scan-to-scan change in echo returns from objects in the 
scanned region. The modification means (28) act as a leaky 
bucket integrator in respect of each pixel of the rectangular 
coordinate system. With such arrangement, target build-up 
and target decay may be presented in the digitally generated 
raster display in a manner similar to that presented in an an­
alog PPI display.

Abstract: Beim Recken eines metallischen Werkstückes in einer 
Schmiedepresse bereitet eine möglichst homogene Durchschmiedung des 
Werkstückes erhebliche Schwierigkeiten. Eine Durchschmiedung ist 
erwünscht, da sie die Qualität des Schmiedeproduktes sehr 
maßgeblich beeinflußt. Beim Reckprozeß des Werkstückes kommt es 
darüberhinaus sehr häufig auch zu Rißbildungen an der 
Oberfläche des Schmiedestückes oder gar zu Kantenrissen, so daß die 
fertigen Schmiedeprodukte auf Grund dieser Mängel bzw. 
Schäden als Ausschuß verworfen werden müssen. Gemäß der Erfindung 
werden jedoch alle diese Nachteile dadurch vermieden, daß 
das Werkstück (5) vor der jeweiligen Reckung bzw. dem Biß zwischen dem 
Obersattel (6) und dem Untersattel 
                                          (7) der Schmiedepresse in 
Werkstückstreckrichtung (20) unter Einbeziehung der 
während der Verformung gemessenen Längung des Werkstücks (5) jeweils 
nur so weit versetzt bzw. verschoben wird, daß der 
Bißrand (8) des jeweils vorhergehenden Bisses innerhalb der 
Sattelränder (9, 10) und (11, 12) zu liegen kommt. Die 
Reckgradmessung erfolgt bevorzugt kontinuierlich mechanisch- 
elektrisch oder optoelektronisch.

Title: Stabilized dispersed enzyme
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1987-10-21
Abstract: Enzymes are immoblized, stabilized and evenly 
dispersed without destroying their activity by sequestering 
them within micropores of a solid carrier structure and filling 
the pores with a water-immiscible organic liquid, in which the 
enzyme remains active. The preferred solid carrier is a 
microporous membrane. The system is manufactued by providing 
a solid carrier having a microporous surface whose pores 
contain an aqueous solution, allowing an aqueous solution of 
enzyme to equilibrate with the solution in the pores, causing a 
controlled partial collapse of the pores to effectively trap 
the enzymes, and replacing the liquid in the pores with a 
water-immiscible organic liquid. The system can be used to 
assay for or produce an organic compound. It also can be used 
for slow release of an enzyme.
