Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un mécanisme de convergence de plusieurs fils (1-4), tiges filaires, tubes ou d'autre matériau de section transversale prismatique en une seule ligne particulière (00), dans lesquels le matériau peut être coupé et stocké, ou coupé et plié, ou coupé et soudé, ou coupé et traité d'une autre façon. Le procédé dépend des propriétés élastiques des métaux, qui peuvent être temporairement déformés sous contrainte, et reprennent leur forme d'origine lorsque la charge de contrainte est éliminée, pour autant que la sollicitation du métal reste dans la région d'élasticité. En conséquence, lors de la convergence des fils, il existe une distance minimale entre les unités redressantes d'alimentation (6-9) et le point de convergence en une ligne commune, définie par le matériau possédant les propriétés d'élasticité les plus faibles ainsi que par la disposition des lignes d'alimentation. Le procédé peut être appliqué à des lignes d'alimentation, parallèles entre elles ou non, et à des lignes d'alimentation se situant dans le même plan ou non.

Abstract: A method of measuring torque in a part, for example a shaft, in which at least one coil, wound about an axis of the part about which axis torque is applied, is A.C. energized to create an alternating polarity magnetic field in the part, which field emanates a component dependent on torque. A magnetic field sensor arrangement is responsive to the emanated component to produce a torque-indicating signal. The at least one coil is energized by a series of energizing pulses of current of alternating polarity which pulses have a relatively small duty cycle. The sensor arrangement produces sensor pulses of alternating polarity corresponding to said energizing pulses, and the sensor pulses are measured in a peak-to-peak fashion to produce an output signal representing torque.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO) are disclosed. The LSLO uses a substantially point source of light, such as an infrared laser or a super-luminescent diode. The point source is expanded to a line. The LSLO scans the line of light in a direction perpendicular to the line across a region of an eye having an undilated pupil The reflected light is received confocally, using monostatic beam geometry. A beam separator, such as a turning prism or mirror, diverts one of the incoming light and the reflected light to separate the light. An optical stop prevents non-confocally received light from reaching a one-dimensional detector, such as a linear CCD array. An electrical signal responsive to the output light at each of a plurality of locations along the line of output light is processed to provide images of the scanned portion of the eye.
