Abstract: Light filter apparatus for receiving a light beam (25) having wavelengths in a selected band and for dispersing the light into a plurality of rays (30), with each ray having a different wavelength for which the intensity peaks. The peak wavelength varies approximately continuously with displacement of spatial position in a chosen direction along the filter's light-receiving plane. In one embodiment, the filter is a modified etalon structure having at least two reflecting surfaces whose separation distance is not constant but increases or decreases monotonically with distance in a chosen direction in a light-receiving plane of the etalon. Each of these two reflecting surfaces (26,27) may be planar or non-planar but continuous, or may have a step or staircase configuration. This structure may operate using transmitted light or reflected light. In a second embodiment, an edge filter combination is used to produce a narrow band of transmitted or reflected light having a variable central wavelength that varies with position along the chosen direction. In a third embodiment, a multi-layer thin film structure is used to provide a narrow band of transmitted or reflected light having a variable central wavelength. The filter may be combined with a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array of photosensor elements, which array may be linear, circular or generally curvilinear, one such element receiving a group of adjacent light rays of similar peak wavelength, to provide a plurality of different wavelength readings on an incident light beam for spectrophotometry or colorimetry analysis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for positioning tooling (16, 18) with respect to an arc-shaped workpiece assembly (12) spaced radially away from a centerline (14). The apparatus includes axially spaced apart support arm assemblies (40, 42) which are swingable about the centerline. Each support arm is provided with a fixed portion (72) and a radially inwardly and outwardly movable portion (70), the movable portions of both arm assemblies being simultaneously movable under the control of a CNC controller (58). The ends of inner and outer beams (36, 38) are supported by the radially movable portion (70). Supported upon each of the inner and outer beams is a carriage assembly (32, 34) movable along the beam (36, 38). A head (28, 30) is supported upon each of the carriages, each head having a relatively stationary half (124) and a shiftable half (122), the shiftable half being mounted upon a track carried by the stationary half to provide for movement about a center point. In operation the beams will be swung to their desired position about the centerline, the carriages will be moved to their desired positions, at least one of the heads will be extended, and the tooling will be advanced towards the workpiece, all of this movement being controlled by the CNC controller. To permit loading of the apparatus, the inner beam may be split and shifted axially outwardly as the workpiece assembly is loaded.

Abstract: A system and method of determining the propagation delay between LSSD (Level Sensitive Scan Delay) latch pairs is performed by modifying system and scan clock sequences. A set bit is initially scanned to the input of the sending trigger. This is done by inhibiting the last B clock. These A and B clocks are then gated off and the system clocks operate a complete cycle with the unique sequence of inhibiting the first latch pulse and the last trigger pulse. Finally, a unique scan clock sequence is used to scan out data from the receiving latch. If the data scanned out corresponds with expected data (the set bit), the process is repeated decreasing the cycle time of the system clocks until the set bit is no longer received. The measured delay is then taken as the preceding cycle time. By measuring the delays between a plurality of points and a common originating point and taking the differences in these delays, the skew in a clock distribution system can be readily determined.

Abstract: Discoloration of surfaces, such as painted or treated wood surfaces, by tannin-staining caused by the complexing of certain transition metal ions with tannate ions (the process is often referred to in the art as "tannin-stain bleed") is reduced or prevented (eliminated) by contacting a transition metal ion on a painted surface or surface to be painted with a complexing agent for the transition metal ion, such as by the addition of the complexing agent for the transition-metal ion to paint formulations or by pretreatment of the wood surface with the complexing agent before painting. It is believed that the complexing agents form coordination complexes with transition-metal ions on the surface of and within the paint film, thus preventing the formation of highly-colored complexes of the transition metal ions with the tannate ions derived from the tannins in the wood. This technique is applicable to all woods and other surfaces susceptible to tannin-staining and especially to stain-susceptible woods such as redwood and cedar. Using appropriate formulation or application techniques, the method may be used with water-based or solvent-based paints.

Abstract: The present invention provides an extruder for highly foamed plastic material for coating a central conductor of a coaxial insulated cable with an insulator made of a mixture of a plastic material, preferably polyethylene, and an inert gas, such as nitrogen gas, to serve as a foaming agent. An inert gas is introduced approximately halfway down the extruder through a lead-in portion. At the lead-in portion of the extruder is a vent portion wherein the screw is provided with a plurality of stirring blades extending radially from the screw toward the inner surface of the extruder. These stirring blades provide a means by which the inert gas is mixed thoroughly into the plastic material. The above invention provides a means of producing an insulating material in which an inert gas (such as nitrogen), rather than hydrocarbon chloride fluoride, is used as a foaming agent, thus avoiding potential harm to the ozone layer.

Abstract: A laser ablation damascene process for the planarizing of metal/polymer structures. More specifically, the process is especially adapted for the fabrication of both interlevel via metallization and circuitization layers in integrated circuit (IC) interconnects. Subsequent to the forming or etching of holes or depressions (52, 62) in a polymer insulating layer, a metal layer or film (50, 60) is deposited thereon for the purpose of fabricating vias or trenches for metallization and circuitization layers in IC connects. Thereafter, the surface (54, 72) of the metal layer which has been deposited or superimposed on the polymer substrate through any suitable method known in the art is irradiated with at least one laser pulse which will cause the metal layer to melt and reflow and resultingly fill the vias and trenches etched in the polymer substrate while simultaneously ablating and removing the metal from the planarized surface (56, 68) of the substrate in the regions about the vias and trenches.

Abstract: Diamond cannot be epitaxially grown on any materials except diamond. Polycrystalline diamond is useless for an application as a material of semiconductor devices in general. In order to make a quasi-single crystal, small diamond granules are epitaxially grown on a single crystal substrate whose lattice constant is similar to that of diamond, a deposition layer is formed on the island diamond granules. The initial substrate is eliminated. Diamond is grown on the deposition layer having diamond granules to be a film with a certain thickness. The initially-grown diamond granules which have the same crystallographical direction align in order the directions of crystals of the latter-grown diamond by playing a role of seed crystals.
