Abstract: A linear conveying unit comprises a rail (4) and a saddle (8) movable therealong. The rail (4) includes two pairs of tracks (10,12,14,16), with the tracks (10,12,14,16) of each pair being convergent. The saddle (8) carries front (51F) and rear (51R) groups of wheels for engaging the tracks (10,12,14,16). Each wheel group (51F,51R) includes two pairs of wheels (50,52,54,56), each pair of wheels having convergent axes (62) of rotation. To adjust the saddle (8) in order to eliminate any gaps between the wheels (50,52,54,56) and tracks (10,12,14,16), only one wheel (56) of each wheel group is made to be radially adjustable. That adjustment is effected by means of an eccentric sleeve (64) surrounding the wheel axle (62). The saddle (8) is moved by a drive belt (20), the ends of which are connected to the saddle (8) by quick-release couplings (28). The saddle (8) includes a recess (88) which is covered by a metallic tape (84) that is magnetically attracted to a pair of magnetic rims (82).

Abstract: The resistors (8) of heater elements (2) are formed by chemical vapor deposition of polycrystalline silicon at at least one of a flat temperature profile of 620°C and a ramped temperature profile of 620°C to 640°C in a first embodiment. Such method of forming the polysilicon result in a predominantly uniform grain size of approximately 1000Å, where grain size can vary between 200Å to 1000Å Alternatively, the resistors (8) are formed by chemical vapor deposition of amorphous polysilicon at at least one of a flat temperature profile at a temperature below 580°C and a ramped temperature profile of 565°C to 575°C. In the alternative embodiment, the polysilicon has a grain size of at least 1000Å. During the ion implantation of either p-type or n-type dopants into the polysilicon, a flood gun located in an ion implanter emits low energy electrons to neutralize the build-up of positive charges on the polysilicon surface. The resulting heating elements (2) comprise a resistive layer (8) having substantially uniform grain size formed on top of a substrate (4), contacts (16,18) coupled to the resistive layer (8), an insulation means (20,22) formed on top of the resistive layer (8) to prevent contact between the layer (8) and the ink, and an insulative film (26) covering the contacts (16,18), portions of the insulation means (20,22) and the resistive layer (8). The sheet resistances of the resistors in the printhead vary less than 3% and preferably less than 1%. Such low variations in sheet resistance prevent undervoltage and overvoltage from being applied to the resistors and extend the lifetime of the heater element and thus, the printhead.

Abstract: In order to obtain an index which generally shows the work burden extent of various works carried out in an automobile assembling factory or the like, for each work content, the maximum muscle contraction ratio is measured after the work has been continued for 5 seconds, the work burden index (L) is calculated from the measured ratio value, and the equivalent work burden in a standard work is calculated from the calculated work burden index (L) for 5 seconds. The work burden index (TVAL) of actual work is calculated from the equivalent work burden and the actual work time. Suitably, a work routine plan is corrected such that the obtained TVAL is normalized with an apparatus comprising means for storing the equivalent work burden for each work content, means for displaying an image of the work content, and means for inputting work content parameter and so forth while watching the displayed image.

Abstract: A firing head for a firing system adapted for use in a perforating gun includes an outer pressure bulkhead housing which simultaneously conducts two separate and independent currents: a wireline current from a wireline and a return current from an initiator embodied in the firing head. A fire set circuit provides a discharge pulse to the firing head, and a wireline conductor cable provides a wireline current to the fire set circuit. The firing head includes an outer pressure bulkhead housing adapted for conducting the wireline current from the wireline conductor cable to the fire set circuit, and an exploding foil initiator (EFI) responsive to the discharge pulse from the fire set circuit for initiating the detonation of a secondary explosive. The discharge pulse energizing the firing head passes through the exploding foil initiator (EFI) and emerges from the EFI as an EFI return current. As a result, the outer pressure bulkhead housing of the firing head conducts two separate and independent currents: the EFI return current from the EFI to a ground potential, and the wireline current from the wireline conductor cable to the fire set circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for planarization of the upper surface of a semiconductor wafer. A wafer with features formed thereon is loaded into the apparatus after having been coated with an interlevel dielctric. Thereafter, the wafer is subjected to suitable elevated temperatures while a uniform elevated pressure is applied. Once the temperature and pressure conditions exceed the yield stress of the film, the film will flow and fill the microscopic as well as global depressions in the wafer surface. Thereafter, the temperature and pressure is reduced so that the film will become firm again thereby leaving a planar upper surface on the wafer.

IPC: G01S13/74
Filed: 1995-12-20
Abstract: A novel multiplex system is disclosed which overcomes the disadvantage of a parasitic diode which occurs upon use of MOS FET switches to switch between channels. A preferred embodiment of the invention is effected by connecting the power MOS FET 18,20 to the antenna 10,12 via a serially connected capacitor 14,16. Thus, in a disabled channel, the serially connected capacitor 14 may be charged up to the peak positive D.C. voltage of the antenna resonator circuit 24 of the enabled channel, via the parasitic diode. The capacitor 14 in the disabled channel is charged via the parasitic diode while a different transmit channel has been selected and when the antenna resonator 24 of that different channel, builds up the antenna resonance voltage. Once the voltage at the antenna resonator 24 is at the maximum, the capacitor 14 in the disabled channel is also charged up to the maximum voltage and therefore, the antenna resonance voltage of the enabled channel minus the stored voltage of the disabled channel capacitor 14 will never be less than zero. In conclusion, because the drain of the FET is held to a positive voltage, and the parasitic diode needs a negative voltage to conduct, the parasitic voltage stops conducting and will not conduct while the capacitor is charged to that positive voltage. Therefore, the FET is blocked to negative voltages. 
     The disabled MOS FET 18 is also blocked for positive voltages because that is the basic function of the MOS FET switch 18. The parasitic diode is not conducting in this situation, because the diode is reversed biased in this case and therefore needs a negative voltage to conduct.
