Patent EP-0646784-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOWARD III WILLIS E
IPC: G01N21/86
Filed: 1994-08-25
Abstract: A video test strip reader (10) uses a video imager or camera (12) for viewing a viewing field (14) containing reagent test strips (16) each having test pads (28) reacted with a specimen containing constituents of interest. The video imager produces an analog signal representing an image of the viewing field. An image handler (18) coupled to the video imager converts or digitizes the analog signal into a digital signal representing the image and stores the image in the form of an array of pixels representing the image. Each pixel contains color information broken down into red, green or blue (RGB). A processor (24) coupled to the image handler analyzes the array of pixels, determines the location and orientation of a test strip, identifies the test areas on the test strip, measures the corresponding test areas on the strip at the proper times and calculates the test results, such as the concentration of the constituents of interest in the specimen or other measurable properties of the specimen such as color or specific gravity, etc. Accordingly, the video test strip reader can simultaneously locate, color analyze and time track multiple test strips on the viewing field.

Abstract: Inflating a fighter-pilot's anti-G suit to the correct pressure is facilitated by the pressure regulator design. Using Preview Control, the movement of the control stick is used to predict what the G-force on the aircraft will be in the time ahead. A computer determines what pressure is needed in the suit to safeguard the pilot at that G-force. The size of the air-flow aperture in the regulator is defined by overlapping windows (30,32) in the housing and rotor of the regulator. The rotor is moved to give the correct overlap by means of a servo motor or stepper motor (38), which positions the rotor in response to the computer output. The very fast, stable, response of the regulator to the computer input enables the suit pressure to follow the G-forces predicted by Preview Control with great accuracy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lubricating oil composition for refrigeration machine comprising 100 parts by weight of a carboxylic ester having a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 200 to 5,000 and a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of 2 to 100 cSt or a carbonic ester having a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 200 to 5,000 and a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of 2 to 100 cSt, and 0.001 to 15 parts by weight of a fluoroalkyl group-containing alcohol. The lubricating oil composition for refrigeration machine can extremely reduce the amount of metal abrasion at the slide part of the compression type refrigeration machine in which hydrogenated fluorocarbon (HFC) such as R-134a is used as a refrigerant. This composition can be also used for refrigeration machines of other types than the compression type because of its excellent lubricating properties.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a frame (1, 3) whereto there is secured a support (7) which supports an X-ray source (9) at a first end and an X-ray detector (11) with a housing (13) at a second end. The X-ray source (9) and the X-ray detector (11) are arranged so as to face one another so that a central ray of an X-ray beam emitted by the X-ray source is approximately coincident with a connecting line (C) between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. The X-ray detector (11) is movable along the connecting line (C) and a shift of the centre of gravity of the X-ray detector occurring during said movement is compensated for by a movement of a counterweight (55) which is coupled to the movement of the X-ray detector, so that movement of the X-ray detector requires only a comparatively small force which is directed parallel to the direction of the connecting line. At least a part (73) of the outer surface of the housing (13) of the X-ray detector (11) which is situated near the end facing the X-ray source (9) encloses such an angle (α) relative to the connecting line (C), that the distance between this part and the connecting line increases as the distance from the X-ray source increases. Consequently, practically any collision between the X-ray detector (11) and an object to be examined produces a force on the X-ray detector which includes a component which is directed away from the X-ray source and 
parallel to the connecting line (C), so that the X-ray detector is moved away from the object.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining operability of a motor operated valve combination including a valve having a valve stem, a valve disc, a valve seat, and a motor operator having a motor drive interconnecting the motor to the valve stem for movement of the valve disc toward and into engagement with the valve seat to close the valve and a control switch for deactivating the motor. The method comprises the steps of sensing the real motor power of the motor as a function of time during valve closing with zero differential pressure applied to the valve at a first time. From the sensed information, the rate of motor power build-up is determined after the onset of valve wedging during valve closing at the first time. The real motor power of the motor is again sensed as a function of time during valve closing with zero differential pressure applied to the valve at a second time which is subsequent to the first time. The rate of motor power build-up after the onset of valve wedging during valve closing at the second time is determined from the sensed information. The rate of motor power build-up after the onset of valve wedging at the first and second times is compared as an indication of lubrication change within the valve between the first and second times.

Abstract: A scan control for use with an ion implantation system 10. A servo motor 106 having an output shaft scans a wafer support 42 through an ion beam 44 to controllably treat the wafer. A digital signal processor 105 monitors an encoder output corresponding to motor shaft orientation and compares this position with a desired position of the wafer support 42. An error signal modifies a motor energization signal based on this comparison. Velocity damping based upon sensed motor speed and wafer support speed smooths the scan motion via a second motor energization correction.

IPC: B61F5/52

Abstract: The sideframe (20) of a railway car bogie is constructed such that basic overall sideframe appearance is maintained, but the actual construction results in a more efficient use of the materials as a means of reducing the sideframe weight. This means that material is used according to how the stresses are encountered by the sideframe, dictating that the sideframe midsection is structurally heavier than the sideframe ends. Maximization of this construction is provided by shaping the entire sideframe into a solid, unitary cross-sectional I-beam shape. A solid top flange (30) of the I-beam corresponds to the typical top compression member while the solid bottom flange (40) corresponds to the typical bottom compression member. The solid vertical web (50), which interconnects the top and bottom flanges is a typical thereby allowing the web to absorb forces which would normally have to be absorbed by either top or bottom member. This feature allows the sideframe to be lighter, yet structurally stronger because the top and bottom members can now be cast dimensionally smaller. To take advantage of the weight savings even further, the I-beam shape has a structurally tapering thickness from the midsection to the ends and this corresponds to the loading experienced by the sideframe. The open, I-beam exterior allows for easier and more reliable inspection, as well as improved casting quality due to a substantial reduction in casting core usage.

Abstract: A saline soluble fiber is disclosed that is highly refractory. A vacuum cast preform of the fibre has a shrinkage of 3.5 % or less when exposed to 1260  DEG C for 24 hours. The fibre may comprise CaO, SiO2, MgO, optionally ZrO2, optionally less than 0.75 mol % Al2O3, any incidental impurities amounting to less than 2 mol % in total, and in which the SiO2 excess (defined as the amount of SiO2 calculated as remaining after the above named constituents are crystallised as silicates) exceeds 21.8 mol %, with the proviso that, if the amount of CaO is greater than the sum of the amount of MgO and twice the amount of ZrO2 the calculated ratio of diopside to wollastonite does not lie in the range 1.8 to 5.25. Such fibres are usable at elevated temperatures where refractoriness is of importance and their solubility in saline solution may make the fibres safer than non-soluble fibres.
