Abstract: A first switch (e.g. semi-conductor) becomes conductive when at least one of a pair of binary inputs to be added is a binary "1". A second switch (e.g. semi-conductor) becomes conductive when there is a carry of a binary "1" from a preceding stage. The semi-conductors are in series with an output line to provide a particular potential on the output line when the semi-conductors are simultaneously conductive. This potential is introduced as a binary carry output to a switch in the next stage corresponding to the second switch. The carry switch in the next stage is an n-channel semi-conductor when the carry switch in the previous stage is a p-channel semi-conductor. A logical network also produces a signal when both of the binary inputs are a binary "1". This signal causes a third switch (e.g. semi-conductor) to become conductive and to produce the particular voltage on the output line whether or not the particular voltage is produced on the output line by the operation of the first and second switches. The voltage on the carry output line is thereafter reset to a second particular value as by a reset signal from a fourth switch (e.g. semi-conductor). A fifth switch (e.g. semi-conductor) also simultaneously receives a reset voltage to reset the common node between the first and second switches to the particular value. The first and second switches in the next stage then respectively respond to a binary "1" in at least one of the next pair of binary inputs and to the carry output from the preceding stage in the manner described above.

Abstract: In order to investigate an object, such as a culture of micro-organisms, the image of the object is repeatedly picked up at two different magnifications by a suitable image pick-up device (21, 22, 24). The images at the two different magnifications are then analysed by a suitable picture image recognition device (25, 31) and the results of the repeated analysis are compared, thereby to derive a measurement of the change in the object with time. Thus, for a culture of micro-organisms, the number of cells can be determined at one magnification and the number of microscopic spherical bodies can be determined at another magnification, to obtain a measure of the activity of the culture. Preferably, one or more conditions of the object are then controlled on the basis of the measurement of change.

Abstract: Disclosed is an edge-emitting semiconductor laser that has a single waveguiding structure, and that comprises means (140, 141) for reducing the transverse divergence of the far-field pattern of the laser emission. Typically these means comprise reflecting means (preferably transverse distributed Bragg reflectors) disposed parallel to the junction plane of the laser. Lasers according to the invention can have a highly stable single mode output having a substantially symmetrical far field pattern. Disclosed is also an advantageous method of making ridge-waveguide lasers that can, inter alia, be used to make lasers according to the invention. The method is a self-aligned method that does not comprise any critical alignment steps. Thus it is useful for making lasers that have a very narrow ridge waveguide. Such lasers are desirable because they can suppress lateral higher order modes.

IPC: B24D3/28

Abstract: This invention relates to abrasive products having a resinous binder. The abrasive products can be bonded abrasives, coated abrasives, or nonwoven abrasives. In the manufacture of coated abrasives, the make coat and abrasive grains are first applied to the backing, then the size coat is applied, and finally, the construction is fully cured. Generally, thermally curable binders provide coated abrasives with excellent properties, e.g., heat resistance. In order to obtain the proper coating viscosities, solvent is commonly added to these resins. When polyester or cellulosic backings are used, curing temperature is limited to about 130°C. At this temperature, cure times are long. The long cure time along with the solvent removal necessitates the use of festoon curing areas. Disadvantages of festoon curing areas include the formation of defects at the suspension rods, inconsistent cure due to temperature variations in the large festoon ovens, sagging of the binder, wrinkling of very flexible webs, and shifting of abrasive grains. Furthermore, festoon curing areas require large amounts of space and enormous amounts of energy. Radiation curing processes have been used in an attempt to avoid the disadvantages of festoon ovens. This invention provides abrasive products comprising abrasive grains bonded together or bonded to a backing by means of a binder comprising an oligomeric aminoplast resin having on average at least one pendant Œ,[3-unsaturated carbonyl group per oligomeric unit. The oligomeric aminoplast resins polymerize via free radical polymerization at the site of the α,β-unsaturation. Polymerization is initiated by a source of free radicals. The source of free radicals can be generated by electron beam radiation or by an appropriate curing agent or initiator upon exposure to heat or radiation energy. The coated abrasive of this invention demonstrates improved grinding performance under severe conditions as compared with coated abrasives comprising radiation curable resins heretofore known.

Abstract: Experiments show that by applying an electric field to a metallic surface it is possible to melt the last layer of atoms of a metal surface. This is based in the fact that the electric field is screenedby the superficial layer of the metal and has no effect on the surface subrayers. We have therefore the parameters electric field and temperature. Our data show that it is possible to melt the surface of tugnsten with a temperature of around one third of the bulk melting temperature, when an electric field of approximately 15 V/nm is applied to the surface. In this way it is possible to build up small protrusions in the surface that emit a coherent beam of ions of 10⁵ ions/s from a single atom and focussed to 3º, coherent. These beams may allow to write metallic lines of atomic dimension on a substrate. Also it can be obtained the coherent emission of an electron beam of high brightness useful for electron microscopes of high resolution.

Abstract: Described is an ink-jet recording head including a piezoelectric vibrator (9) in which layers of a piezoelectric material and an electrode forming material are alternately stacked to form an active region (15) where segment electrodes (20) and common electrodes (21) overlap with each other in the center portion; a fixing substrate (8) to which the piezoelectric vibrator (9) is fixed; and a flow path component which contacts with the front end of the piezoelectric vibrator (9) and in which ink is compressed by the extension and contraction of the piezoelectric vibrator (9) to produce ink drops. In the ink-jet recording head, the piezoelectric vibrator (9) is contacted with the fixing substrate (8) only in the portion of the active region (15), and fixed thereto by an adhesive (28,29). When a drive signal is applied to the electrodes (20) and (21) of the piezoelectric vibrator (9), only the active region (15) where electrodes of the opposite polarities oppose to each other extends in the lamination direction. Since the edge portions which do not contribute to this extension operation are free from the fixing substrate (8), they contract with following the extension of the active region (15) as closely as possible.
