Abstract: A driver amplifier operative from a single DC voltage supply, coupled directly to the output load without the need for DC coupling capacitors used for preventing DC reaching the output load. An onboard power supply generates a negative voltage rail that powers the output amplifiers, allowing driver amplifier operation from both positive and negative rails. Since the amplifiers can be biased at ground potential (0 volts), no significant DC voltage exists across the load and the need for DC coupling capacitors is eliminated.

Abstract: In order to be able to achieve high pressures, pressure vessels are filled according to the principle of "cold filling", i.e. the filler gas is filled into the pressure vessel in a cold state. Once the pressure vessel is filled and the gas is heated to ambient pressure, the pressure in the pressure vessels multiplies several times. A problem that often occurs is that during filling the filler gas or a component of the filler gas mixture freezes out, thereby resulting in a malfunction of the filling device. For this purpose, the filler gas is transported to the pressure vessel to be charged in a cold yet gaseous state. The filler gas is supplied to a heat exchanger in a liquefied state and is then evaporated. The evaporated filler gas or the gas component are returned to the heat exchanger, where it thermally contacts the still liquid filler gas and is cooled to at least approximately the temperature of the liquid filler gas. The gas treated in this manner is very cold but at the same time available in a gaseous state of matter.

Abstract: Precision-representative magnitudes (R, A, M) are determined by the method. A profile (25) is determined over time, to describe the desired or actual location (P) of a positioning axis used to locate the focal area of the laser beam on the workpiece. The profile of the weld seam location (26) on the workpiece is determined from the desired or actual location (P) of the positioning axis. The departure between the profile of the desired or actual location of the positioning axis and the determined profile of the weld seam location, is determined as a magnitude (R) representing the precision of seam positional control. A continuous, especially periodic function is given, to describe the weld seam location profile. Its parameters (A, M) are determined from the profile of the desired or actual position of the positioning axis. The departure between the profiles of the desired or actual position and of the welding location is determined as the sum of the mean square error or chi-squared error. The profile of a desired or actual position of a positioning axis is determined axially with respect to the weld seam location and/or in the propagation direction of the laser beam. At least one further magnitude (M, A) is determined from the measured course of the weld seam location, especially to assess axial concentricity or offset of the workpiece. At least one further magnitude is determined from the profile of actual position of the positioning axis, especially to assess hysteresis of the workpiece. The further magnitude is selected from: number of measurement dropouts and positions of the focal area on the workpiece. Preferably on completion of welding, at least one magnitude (R, M, A) is compared with an associated threshold value. On exceeding this, the workpiece is classified as: To Be Tested. Testing is manual and/or automatic. Seam control precision is determined from at least two of the characteristic magnitudes (R, M, A).

Abstract: Techniques for detecting radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are disclosed. For example, an exit control system is described that detects unauthorized removal of articles from a protected facility. A series of antennas are setup to produce interrogation corridors located near the exit of the protected area. RFID tags are attached to the articles to be protected. Each tag includes information that uniquely identifies the article to which it is affixed and status information as to whether the articles removal from the facility is authorized. The RF reader outputs RF signals through the antennas to create electromagnetic fields within the interrogation corridors. The reader outputs RF power from a single port to the multiple antennas via a splitter/combiner. In this way, a single RF reader with only one transmitter/receiver port simultaneously interrogates multiple antennas. A variety of techniques are described by which the reader can detect the removal of an unauthorized article (Fig. 1).
