Abstract: During use, a wheel of a railway vehicle may become out of round, which will be detrimental to both the vehicle suspension and the railway track. The shape of such a wheel may be monitored to detect any such out of roundness, while the wheel is rolling, by measuring how far the flange of the wheel projects below the upper surface of the rail. This may be achieved by mounting a rigid bar (24) alongside the rail (10), the bar (24) being supported resiliently so as to be depressed by a flange of a wheel (40), and by measuring the vertical displacement of the bar. The bar (24) may be supported by a plurality of flat leaf springs (26), which are inclined to the horizontal at for example 30°. This ensures that the bar (24) remains substantially parallel to the top surface of the rail (10) when depressed by the flange of a wheel (40).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'optimisation d'un traitement de tranches de semi-conducteurs par polissage chimio-mécanique. Le procédé d'optimisation consiste à polir une série test de tranches de semi-conducteurs sur une machine de polissage chimio-mécanique. Au cours de ce traitement, on mesure une épaisseur de film au niveau d'un premier point proche du centre de chaque tranche au moyen d'un détecteur couplé à la machine. On mesure également une épaisseur de film au niveau d'un second point proche du bord extérieur des tranches respectives. Sur la base de ces mesures de l'épaisseur du film en cours de traitement, au niveau d'un premier et d'un second point, le procédé d'optimisation permet de déterminer un profil de polissage indiquant un taux d'élimination et une uniformité d'élimination par rapport à un ensemble de variables du processus. Ces variables comprennent différents réglages de la machine de polissage chimio-mécanique pendant le processus de polissage telles que l'intensité de la force descendante appliquée sur la tranche. Le profil de polissage est ensuite utilisé pour polir des tranches de production en conséquence. On détermine, pour chaque tranche de production, leur taux d'élimination et leur uniformité d'élimination en mesurant l'épaisseur du film au centre de chacune des tranches, et une épaisseur du film au niveau du bord extérieur de chaque tranche au moyen du détecteur. Sur la base de ces mesures, l'ensemble des variables est ajusté conformément aux mesures du taux d'élimination et de l'uniformité d'élimination afin d'optimiser le processus de polissage chimio-mécanique au cours du polissage de chaque tranche.
