Title: Non-contact determination of the position of a rectilinear feature of an article
IPC: G05D3/12
Filed: 1988-04-21
Granted: 1993-02-10
Abstract: A high resolution CCD video camera (6) is positioned and aligned with respect to an illuminated article (7) so that a straight edge of the article, or a straight line junction between a bright zone and a dark zone of its surface, crosses the field of view of the camera in a direction substantially parallel to the rows of the camera's orthogonal array of rows and columns of light responsive elements,to divide that field of view into bright and dark zones. A frame store and digitiser (9) converts the individual signals generated by the elements into digital grey values. The grey values derived from the elements of each row are summed by a computer (10) to produce a linear array of summation values positionally related to the respective columns, and the computer then determines the position of the edge or junction to a sub-column spacing accuracy by determining the mean value of two of the summation values selected respectively from a row receiving energy from the bright zone and one receiving energy from the dark zone and establishing a position in the array for the mean value, and thus for the feature, by interpolating the mean value between the two summation values immediately above and below it in magnitude.

Filed: 1988-04-12
Granted: 1992-09-02
Abstract: The steering shaft with power-assisted steering has a geared rotary drive (4) which can be arranged centrally or asymmetrically on any sides of the axle housing (1) to which it is secured directly. The pivoting shaft (5) of the geared rotary drive causes the pivoting levers (8 or 8A) extending transversely over the axle housing to pivot. Tie rods (10, 11) are coupled to the free ends of the levers (8 or 8A) by bearing eye-pieces (9, 9A). This arrangement enables a compact construction with advantageous off-road driving characteristics and a smaller decrease in the steering forces (FS) in the region of maximal lock (L), which can also be increased, and results in better force transmission and smaller steering errors.

Abstract: La sortie d'un dispositif optique qui utilise un milieu de gain à diffusion Brillouin stimulée (SBS) est améliorée sur une gamme d'intensités du faisceau d'entrée grâce à l'utilisation d'un milieu de gain présentant un gain SBS donné pour une intensité du faisceau d'entrée donnée et grâce à une modification du milieu de gain destinée à réduire son coefficient de gain SBS. En abaissant son coefficient de gain SBS, on peut atténuer la dominance et la suppression par SBS du phénomène de diffusion Raman stimulée (SBS) et on peut considérablement améliorer la fidélité de sortie d'un système de conjugaison de phases par rapport à son entrée. Les mécanismes servant à réduire les coefficients de gain SBS consistent à augmenter la viscosité du milieu, la conductivité thermique et/ou son coefficient de diffusion ou à amener la zone de relaxation du milieu à coïncider avec la fréquence des phonons qui participent au processus SBS. Deux milieux différents peuvent être mélangés selon des proportions variables, de façon à permettre une modification progressive du gain SBS global du milieu au fur et à mesure qu'on modifie progressivement l'intensité du faisceau d'entrée.

Abstract: A process serves for the direct phase measurement of radiation (2), especially light radiation, which is reflected from a body (3) having a diffusely reflecting surface (4). In order to be able to measure the phase in a single operation, the body (3) is irradiated with coherent radiation (2) of a prescribed frequency. The reflected radiation (5) is imaged by an imaging optical system (6) in an image plane (7) in which there is situated a sensor (8) having a multiplicity of preferably regularly arranged sensor elements. Superimposed onto the sensor (8) is a reference radiation (11) having the same frequency and a defined phase angle. In the case of directional object beams, such as occur with reflecting or transparent bodies, the reference beam is adjusted such that a period of the interference field produced by the superimposition of the object and reference beams covers at least three sensor elements on the sensor. The imaging optical system (6) is constructed or adjusted such that the images of the speckles produced by the radiation (2) on the body (3) covers at least three sensor elements in the image plane (7). The phase of the radiation (5) from the body (3) is determined from the intensity signals of the at least three sensor elements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention improves upon the diaphragm/beam-type transducers and method of manufacturing same described in U.S. Patent No. 4,368,575. The new transducers and method of manufacture utilize strips or slivers of silicon or germanium which are larger than the individual strips used in the apparatus and method described in U.S. Patent No. 4,368,575 by an amount sufficient to permit (a) the formation of two gages on each strip and (b) the forming of bonding pads on each gage. The bonding pads are formed on the gage strip before the strip is bonded to the beam, so that formation of the bonding pads and bonding of the strip to the beam can be handled automatically. The strips are mounted to one side of the midpoint of the beams, so that when a diaphragm/beam is deflected by application of a fluid pressure, one of the two gages will undergo a tension strain while the other gage will undergo a compression strain. Because both gages form part of the same silicon or germanium strip, they tend to be virtually identical in physical and electrical properties, thereby simplifying calibration of the resulting transducers. <IMAGE>
