Abstract: A positioning control system according to the present invention is provided with drive means (2) such as an actuator for moving a controlled device (1) such as a magnetic head in a magnetic disk drive at a designated position, position detecting means (3) for detecting the position of the controlled device (1), and arithmetic control means (4) including a DSP for controlling the drive means (2). The arithmetic control means (4) includes trajectory generating means (5) and follow control means (6). The trajectory generating means (5) calculates a target trajectory expressed by an algebraic polynomial representing an acceleration-deceleration pattern which makes a derivative of a target acceleration become zero at th designated position where movement of the controlled device (1) is completed. The follow control means (6) controls the drive means (2) so that the controlled device (1) is moved following the target trajectory. 
     On the other hand, the positioning control system is further provided with position correcting means (7). The arithmetic control means (4) also includes trajectory generating means (5) and follow control means (6). The trajectory generating means (5) calculates a virtual target trajectory assuming an entire moving distance between a current position of the controlled device (1) and the designated position as a virtual moving distance, obtains a position correction value when the movement of the controlled device (1) is completed with reference to the position correcting means (7), and calculates the target trajectory in accordance with the virtual moving distance corrected with the corrected value. The follow control means (6) controls the drive means (2) so that the controlled device (1) is moved following the target trajectory to be positioned at the designated position.

Abstract: A method of forming a nano-scale device with a probe (2) such as a STM on a substrate (1) includes the step of rendering the relevant part of the substrate conductive whilst the device (5) is being formed with the probe so that current can flow from the probe to the substrate. Thereafter, to operate the device, the substrate is rendered non-conductive so as to prevent dissipation of current from the device through the substrate. The substrate can be altered in conductivity by cooling to undergo a Mott transition, can be heated from a normally non-conductive condition to become conductive, or subject to laser radiation to induce charge carriers to render it conductive.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for moving a robot safely and effectively according to the surrounding environment. Data relating to the surrounding environment is obtained from a plurality of different sensors. Sonar data given as distance information for an object is used to interpret the surface configuration of an object at a sonar interpretation section. Three-dimensional information comprising stereo data based on image signals from stereo cameras is used to interpret the surface configuration of an object at the stereo interpretation section. At the hypothesis generation section, a geometrically consistent interpretation is used taken from interpretations obtained from each sensor to generate a hypothesis giving the configuration of an object. A table is used to determine which data is assigned priority, sonar or stereo, to check sensor data corresponding to the surface configuration of the hypothesis against actual sensor data with the passage of time to verify the hypothesis. The mobile robot moves to avoid an obstacle, or its movement is directed, in accordance with the hypothesis with respect to the current environment by referencing the run route.

Abstract: A stream of air is compressed in compressor 2 and has water vapour and carbon dioxide removed therefrom in purification unit 4. A part of the resulting purified air is cooled by passage through heat exchanger 6 and is employed to heat an intermediate reboiler 24 in a lower pressure rectification column 42. The air flow from the reboiler 24 passes into a higher pressure rectification column 20 which supplies a stream of oxygen-enriched liquid air for separation in the lower pressure rectification column 42. Liquid nitrogen reflux for the higher pressure column 20 is provided by taking nitrogen vapour from this column through outlet 30 and condensing it in another intermediate reboiler 32 located above the reboiler 24 in the rectification column 42. The condensed nitrogen is returned to the top of the column 20. Another air stream is employed to reboil a further reboiler 16 at the bottom of the lower pressure rectification column 42 with the resulting condensed air stream being introduced into the higher pressure rectification column 20 through an inlet 22. An impure oxygen product is withdrawn from the bottom of the lower pressure rectification column 42 through outlet 58 in liquid state and is vaporised in the heat exchanger 6. The arrangement of reboilers 16, 24 and 32 facilitates operation of the apparatus with a relatively low pressure ratio between the operating pressure of the column 20 and that of the column 42.

Abstract: The thermal isolation apparatus for the protruding probe (16) of a biomedical thermometer (10) includes an insulative air gap (25) and a heat sink (20) disposed between the surface of the probe and the optical path through the probe. The heat sink surrounds the optical path, such as a waveguide (18), and acts to evenly distribute any heat along the entire length of the waveguide to avoid temperature variations. Additionally, the heat sink has sufficient mass for high heat capacity and may slow the progress of any heat from reaching or leaving the waveguide until after the measurement by the biomedical instrument has been completed. Disposed over the heat sink is a boot (24) which forms the closed air space between the heat sink and the outer probe surface. The air gap combined with the heat sink provide relative thermal isolation of the optical path through the probe and provide relative thermal isolation of the target anatomy from the temperature of the probe.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the geometric configuration of a (metallic, ceramic, composite or geo-material) specimen in order to achieve uniform distribution of shear stresses-strains in a predefined region during the application of countercurrent load pairs. In addition, this invention includes the development of a specimen heating technique adapted to the proposed geometric configuration and capable of attaining high temperatures during the testing procedure. The proposed geometry is characterised by the existence of a semicircular groove that runs along the (cubic or sheet shaped) body of the specimen (drawings 1,2). An extra thin heating element (wire covered by ceramic tape) is wound along the upper and lower grooves and covered by a boron nitride layer in order to increase the temperature in the test section. Representative shear tests prove the functionality and efficiency of the proposed configuration.

Abstract: The method determines the distance between a measuring device with a transmitter (2) and a receiver (5), and an object (4). A modulated signal, esp. a light signal, is transmitted from the transmitter (2). This signal is reflected from the object (4). The reflected signal is received by the receiver (5) and is analysed in the measuring device. The received signal has a phase shift with respect to the transmitted signal. The phase shift is dependent on the time for the signal to complete the measuring path (3). At least the transmitter (2), the measuring path (3), the receiver (5) and a filter module (12) with a phase path, form an oscillation loop. The loop's oscillation frequency, dependent on the signal cycle time, is impressed on the transmitted modulated signal. The distance to be detected is derived from the frequency or the period of the oscillation loop.
