Abstract: A touch probe (10) has a housing (12) and stylus-supporting member (14) biased into a kinematic rest position relative to the housing (12) by a biasing mechanism. The biasing mechanism includes a first helical spring (40) which acts between a movable shuttle (44) and an intermediate member (48). The shuttle (40) is movable within a bore (46) and the position of the shuttle within the bore may be adjusted by the action of an adjusting screw (74). A second helical spring (42) acts between intermediate member (48) and the supporting member (14). The first spring (40) has a low spring rate and is pre-loaded such that the second spring (42), which has a high spring rate, will deflect first upon movement of the shuttle (44) or supporting member (14). Once the pre-load of spring (40) has been overcome the two springs (40,42) co-operate to act as a single spring whose spring rate is the sum of the reciprocals of the spring rates of springs (40,42). This provides adjustment of the biasing force with only a small movement of the shuttle (44) while simultaneously providing large deflections of the stylus-supporting member (14) opposed with a low rate of increase of biasing force.

Abstract: A milling container 11 and an agitator shaft 14 arranged therein bound a milling space 15 which is partially filled with grinding bodies 19 and through which a charging suspension is moved axially. The dynamic separation of the grinding bodies consists of a rotating separating disc 24 in which screens 30 are fitted, preferably arranged perpendicularly with respect to the axial flow 28 of material for milling, and of an annular gap 27. This combination permits very small grinding bodies 19 to be used in an operationally reliable fashion accompanied by high flow rates and viscosities and low wear. Additionally, the seal 33 which is usually required is protected against grinding bodies 19 and the screens 30 can be easily reached for cleaning or replacement if openings are provided, as can be seen from Fig. 1, in the annular flange 25 which forms the fixed counterface of the annular gap 27.

Abstract: In a slide actuator, a central guide rail having V-shaped grooves defined therein and opened at 90 degree angles, is mounted on a cylinder body. A slide table is brought into engagement with the guide rail. Guide members having V-shaped grooves defined therein are provided inside the slide table so that they are opposed to the grooves defined in the guide rail. Cylindrical roller bearings are alternately fitted at inclinations of 90° in their corresponding channels defined by the opposed grooves. Thus, when the roller bearings are rolled, the slide table is displaced with higher accuracy and a load supported by the slide table is transmitted to the guide rail from the roller bearings.

Abstract: In an optical fiber functional device for processing a light beam between optical fibers (211,212), single-mode optical fibers for processing the light beam are concentrically connected at the mutually opposed ends to convergence-type rod lenses (213,214) each having a prescribed length and made of a graded-index optical fiber. The diameter of the core of the graded-index optical fiber (2), from which the rod lens (2A) is made, is 125 µm to 250 µm, while the outside diameter of the cladding is 250 µm or less. 
     For the manufacturing, the optical fibers 1 and 2 are first aligned to each other and are then connected to each other through melting. Since the diameters of the fibers (1) and (2) do not have such a large difference between themselves that one of the diameter is two times larger than the other or is equal to or less than a half of the latter, arc discharge of the like can be used for the melting to make it easy and high in reliability. 
     After the connection, the graded-index optical fiber (2) to be formed into the rod lens is cut off with an allowance by a cutter (3), so that a fiber collimator of appropriate length can be constituted. The assembly of the fibers 1 and 2 is thereafter held in a ferrule 4 which is made of a transparent glass, as shown in FIG: 6 (D). The cut-off end of the fiber 2 is then polished so that it has a prescribed length as the rod lens 2A. Since the ferrule is made of a transparent glass, the length of the lens can be measured from the outside by using a microscope or a projector. If the collimator is used to form an optical isolator described hereinafter, the polished end is provided with a coating for preventing the reflection of light on the end under air.

Abstract: In such a transformer, oscillations occur in the high-voltage circuit, particularly at the beginning of a line, which oscillations are transferred to the primary circuit and generate interfering high-frequency harmonic currents in the line deflection current. These harmonics cause so-called striations in the reproduced image. It is the object to construct a high-voltage line transformer in such a manner that the amplitude of such interfering harmonics is reduced without significant expenditure. The ratio between the total length (L) of the winding in the axial direction and the outer diameter (D) of the high-voltage winding (6) is distinctly less than 1. A number of high-voltage rectifier diodes (7) are in each case arranged on the compartmented coil former (4) distributed over the circumference in the same axial position. Particularly for television receivers with increased high voltage and high quality requirements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and computer-implemented polygon bounding method generate, in a first step, a binary array representation of a closed contour input object relative to a reference coordinate system. Subsequently, in a single pass through the binary array, a bounding polygon is generated as a sequence of parallel "bands," each representing a pair of opposing sides of the polygon. The polygon bands are oriented at successive generally uniform rotations of the reference coordinate system and are positioned to define the bounds of the closed contour for each rotation angle. The spacing and positioning of the bands can thus be used to define polygon size and position at each angle. In this way, comparisons between a plurality of polygons can be made systematically using defined geometrical criteria.

Abstract: A valve comprises a first rigid layer having a substantially planar first surface, a second rigid layer having a substantially planar second surface facing the first surface and a substantially planar third surface opposite the second surface and a flexible layer positioned between the first and second surfaces. A valve chamber is demarcated by a concave surface in the substantially planar first surface and one surface of the flexible layer and at least one first fluid passageway in the first rigid layer opens into the valve chamber at the concave surface to alternatively apply a vacuum and pressure thereto. A fluid chamber is demarcated by another surface of the flexible layer and a concave-convex surface in the substantially planar second surface which comprises an inner circular convex portion and a concentric annular outer concave portion. At least two second fluid passageways in the second rigid layer open into the valve chamber at the convex surface. When a vacuum is applied to the valve chamber, the flexible layer flexes to space the other surface of the flexible layer apart from the concave-convex surface to permit communication between the at least two second fluid passageways and when a pressure is applied to the valve chamber, the flexible layer flexes to dispose the other surface of the flexible layer on the concave-convex surface to prevent communication between the at least two second fluid passageways.
