Title: Sheet stabilizer with dual inline machine direction air clamps and backsteps
Inventor: ALEV TAMER MARK
IPC: D21F1/42
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: An air stabilization system employing two substantially parallel, codirectional Coanda nozzles, that are positioned adjacent a flexible moving web, with each nozzle exhausting gas at the same downstream machine direction, subjects the moving web to shear forces effective to stabilize the web. Each nozzle includes an elongated slot that is substantially perpendicular to the path of the moving web and a backstep located downstream of the direction of airflow extending from the Coanda slot. The two Coanda nozzles serve as separate points along the machine direction for controlling the height of the moving web. By modulating the velocities or other parameters of gases exiting the Coanda nozzles, the shape of the moving web between the nozzles can be manipulated to present a planar contour for measurements. The air stabilization system can be incorporated into a scanner head to measure the caliper of paper, plastic, and other flexible web products.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer implemented method for designing a part. The method comprises a step of providing a surface and a base curve lying on the surface. The method also comprises a step of sampling the base curve into a list of base points. The method also comprises a step of determining a grid of points of perpendicular geodesic curves. The points of the grid each belong to a respective level. Each level of the grid corresponds to a respective geodesic distance to the base curve. Each perpendicular geodesic curve lies on the surface and departs perpendicularly from the base curve at a respective base point. The method then comprises a step of computing a plurality of parallel geodesic curves lying on the surface by using the grid of points. Each parallel geodesic curve corresponds to a respective level. A representation of the part is displayed according to the method. Such a method is efficient for the computation of a plurality of parallel geodesic curves in terms of computer resource and it saves time to the designer.

Abstract: A power conversion system converges an output waveform toward a reference waveform representing an ideal version of the desired output waveform. The system receives characteristic information about shape and phase of a target periodic waveform, generates an output waveform, and compares the output waveform to the reference waveform. The comparison can result in correction signals to change the output hardware to change the output waveform to more closely match the reference waveform.  The system can converge an output waveform for an ideal voltage or current waveform, and may introduce phase shifting. A  power system can output a power signal having reduced harmonic distortion in the output waveform without performing a specific harmonic distortion analysis.
