Patent EP-0869356-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIYATA SHIGERU
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 1998-03-30
Abstract: An NO x  sensor capable of accurately determining the
concentration of NO x  contained in a gas to be analyzed
(measurement gas) using a simple circuit. The NO x  sensor
includes a first measurement space (20) and a second
measurement space (26). The first measurement space (20)
communicates with the measurement gas via a first diffusion
controlling layer (4d), and the second measurement space (26)
communicates with the first measurement space via a second
diffusion controlling layer (6d). A first pumping current I p1 
is controlled such that an output from a Vs cell is used as a
reference voltage V co  to control the amount of oxygen flowing
into the second measurement space (26) at a constant level. A
constant voltage is applied to the second pumping cell (8) so
as to decompose the NO x  component of the measurement gas
contained in the second measurement space (26), and to pump out
the resulting oxygen from the second measurement space (26).
Accordingly, the concentration of NO x  contained in the
measurement gas can be obtained from second pumping current
I p2 . The electrode of the Vs cell located on the side of the
first measurement space (20) is formed around the periphery of
or on a portion of the diffusion controlling layer (6d) of the
Vs cell. As a result, the amount of oxygen flowing from the
first measurement space (20) into the second measurement space
(26) can be accurately determined by means of the Vs cell.
Also, the NO x  concentration can be accurately determined
without the need for compensation.

Abstract: An optical fiber distortion measurement system (i.e., device and
method) is provided to perform measurement on a measured optical fiber,
which is constructed by alternatively connecting two kinds of optical fibers
whose Brillouin frequency shifts are different from each other. Herein, the
system sequentially supplies optical pulses to the measured optical fiber
while changing their light frequencies, so that Brillouin backscattering
beams are output from the measured optical fiber. At first, the system
supplies an optical pulse having a prescribed light frequency to the
measured optical fiber of a non-distortion state, so that the device produces
initial data representing time-related variations of light intensity of
Brillouin backscattering light output from the measured optical fiber.
Then, the system measures a time-related variation waveform representing
light intensity of Brillouin backscattering light, which is output from the
measured optical fiber supplied with the optical pulse of the prescribed light
frequency. By comparing the measured time-related variation waveform
with the initial data, the system determines occurrence of distortion in the
measured optical fiber. Thereafter, the system discriminates a kind of the
distortion, which corresponds to expansion or contraction, on the basis of a
relationship between Brillouin frequency shifts, which are respectively
calculated with respect to a detection point and its adjacent point on the
measured time-related variation waveform. Incidentally, the Brillouin
frequency shift is calculated in accordance with a quadratic approximation
formula, which is created on the basis of the initial data.

Abstract: An apparatus has servo motors(11), (12), (31), (40), (45), and (51) used
for driving sources in processes of weighing blended resin(3b), of
injecting weighed resin(3a) into a die cavity(2), of opening and closing
dies, of gate cutting after filling weighed resin(3a) into the die cavity(2),
of ejecting the molding(26) after forming, and of removing the
molding(26). 
     According to this configuration, because all the motions of
injection operation are controlled by servo motors (11), (12), (31), (40),
(45), and (51), the timing, injection speed, pressurizing speed,
pressurizing pressure, and all others can be freely controlled, and not
only the transferability of fine protrusions and recessions formed on the
inner surface (5) of the die cavity (2) can be remarkably improved, but
also the cycles can be increased because complex motions can be carried
out by servo motors (11), (12), (31), (40), (45), and (51). 
     In particular, because servo motors (45), (51) are used for driving
sources of ejection of molding(26) after forming and removal of molding
(26), there is no variation in repetitive response accuracy in motion,
product removal timing by the product removing equipment(S) can be
reduced to 0.01 second or less, and ultimately higher cycle is able to be
achieved.

Abstract: There is provided a process of packaging metal pigment
in a substantially non-dusting manner. The process
includes the step of dampening the metal pigment with a
liquid which may be water or an organic solvent
compatible with that pigment type. The dampened
pigment is then placed into a porous container which is
sealed prior to removal of the liquid. The porosity of
the container is chosen to permit removal of the liquid
(for example by evaporation and/or centrifugation)
whilst retaining substantially all of the pigment.
Suitable containers include paper bags (such as
autoclave bags), woven fibre materials (optionally
calendered or coated) and polymer materials. The
substantially dry metal pigment can be conveniently
stored or transported within the container and is in a
convenient form to use in a powder coating process.

Abstract: An intermediate-frequency signal is fed to a
demodulated-signal processing circuit through a variable
gain circuit, an active filter, and a limiter. An RSSI
output signal responsive to a received signal level is
obtained through a low-pass filter by detecting the
output of each stage of the limiter at a detector and by
summing the output of the detector at an adder. The
linearity of the RSSI output signal responsive to the
received signal level is improved by feeding, via a
coefficient multiplier to the adder, the control signal
of a level detector which detects the control signal of
the variable gain circuit, which limits the signal input
to the active filter.

On détermine les concentrations séparées de quatre gaz d'un mélange en faisant passer le mélange dans un débitmètre, un capillaire, un orifice et un oscillateur sonique; en transduisant les mesures de température, de pression et de fréquence acoustique des capteurs; en déterminant la densité, la viscosité et la chaleur spécifique du mélange; en formant trois équations rapportant respectivement ces trois propriétés aux concentrations séparées de gaz inconnus; et en résolvant les trois équations et l'équation constitutive, la somme des concentrations étant égale à un, pour les quatre concentrations séparées de gaz inconnus. Un seul oscillateur peut servir de capteur (débitmètre, dispositif de mesure de vitesse sonique) et d'orifice. Les capteurs fluidiques peuvent être constitués d'un module monopuce jetable à capteurs. En ne modifiant que le logiciel de traitement, on peut utiliser les même capteurs ou un sous-ensemble de capteurs pour vérifier ou déterminer l'identité d'un gaz inconnu envoyé sous une forme pure ou dans un mélange d'autres gaz dont les identités sont connues. En mesurant les propriétés N-1 du mélange gazeux dans son intégralité, les capacités du système de capteurs existant pour la mesure des concentrations gazeuses M peuvent être augmentées de sorte que ledit système puisse mesurer les concentrations gazeuses supplémentaires N, à condition que les identités des gaz du mélange soient connues. De même, en ne modifiant que le logiciel de traitement, on peut utiliser le même capteur pour analyser un ensemble de mélanges gazeux quel qu'il soit.
