Title: A locking device for coupling containers and the like to railway trucks
IPC: B61D3/16
Filed: 1984-06-20
Abstract: It is disclosed a looking device which allows the same single railway-truck to carry either containers and/or mobile boxes of traditional structure, having thus the standard flat bottom, or that special type of mobile boxes having a "tunnel" bottom which have a larger loading capability but, owing to said "tunnel" bottom, are presently susceptible and forseen to be transported only by road by suitable road-trucks. The height of the loading platform in conventional railway-trucks is in fact such as not to allow said special mobile boxes with a "tunnel" bottom to be transported because said special mobile boxes have a height exceeding that of the traditional containers and consequently the total height of said special boxes, once loaded upon a standard railway-truck, would be such as to exceed the standard allowed height in the railway-traffic. The device according to the present invention, exploiting the form of the "tunnel" at the bottom of said special boxes, allows said special boxes to be transported by a railway-truck where the longitudinal main frame of said truck, which constitutes the loading platform, may be comprised inside the dimension of said "tunnel", i.e. inside the two longitudinal main frame members of said "tunnel" bottom. The looking device comprises two plates supporting each a dowel: the first one being a fixed plate (2) solidarly jointed to a supporting shaft and providing a lower-level loading surface whereby a fixed dowel (3) is provided for coupling said mobile boxes having a "tunnel" bottom on to said railway-trucks; the second one being a mobile plate (4) carrying a mobile dowel (5), said mobile plate (4) being sliding fitted to said supporting shaft and providing a higher-level loading surface whereby said mobile dowel (5) is provided for coupling thereon containers and/or mobile boxes having the standard flat bottom. The mobile plate (4) supporting the mobile dowel (5) may assume various working and/or non-working positions whereby said working positions of said mobile plate (4) may or not overlap the position of said fixed plate (2). Said mobile plate (4) may also be tilted in a non-working position so as to ensure said railway-trucks equipped with said looking device to provide the largest flexibility in carrying either standard or special containers and/or mobile boxes; said special containers and/or mobile boxes being presently forseeen for transport by road only being of the type with a "tunnel" bottom. According to a preferred embodiment, said looking device makes it possible to lower the loading platform surface, for said special mobile boxes with a "tunnel" bottom, about 170 mm. below the standard level of a loading platform in a conventional railway-truck and this without any substantial modification to the standard main frame of said railway-trucks.

Title: Systems and methods for ion source control in ion implanters
IPC: H01J37/24
Filed: 1986-09-08
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating an ion source having a filament-cathode and an anode. Direct current electrical power is supplied between the anode and the filament-cathode characterised by substantially constant arc current therebetween and varying arc voltage on the filament-cathode. Direct current electrical power is supplied across the filament-cathode. The value of the arc voltage is monitored and the magnitude of electrical power supplied to the filament-cathode is altered in response to detected changes in the arc voltage to return the arc voltage to substantially a present reference value. The step of supplying power between the anode and the filament-cathode is done by monitoring the value of arc current flowing between the anode and the filament-cathode, deriving an arc current error signal as a function of the difference between the monitored arc current value and a present arc current demand signal, and altering the voltage supplied to the filament-cathode as a function of the arc current error signal until the monitored arc current is equal to the arc current demand signal.

Abstract: A flat light beam (13) is projected from light 
projecting unit (10) to an object (30) to be measured, 
sweeping its surface with a bright line (QQ′). The image of 
the bright line is focused on pluralities of photosensor 
arrays and line photosensors. A plurality of positions in the 
bright line are computed by triangular surveying, based on 
the direction of projection of the flat signal light beam 
and the positions of those of photosensors in each array 
from which the signal light component is obtained. The 
position of a gap in the surface of the object is computed, 
using the detected positions of the photosensor and a 
signal which indicates a dropout of the signal light component 
from the output of line photosensor.

Title: Methods of and apparatus for generating low frequency electrical stimulus signals
IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 1987-10-02
Abstract: A method of generating a low frequency electrical stimulus signal is arranged to provide an electrical stimulus to a biological or living body. Either current control or boltage control, or both current and voltage control is performed in accordance with second volume levels supplied from a sound source (16) to modulate the electrical stimulus signal. The frequency of the electrical stimulus signal is selected to be a low frequency, typically below about 60 Hz. Apparatus for applying the electrical stimulus to the biological body comprises a control section (30) and a current/voltage controlling section (40;50). In the control section (30), a sound volume level derived from a sound source (16) is sampled at a rate at which the biological body can sense it in substantially real time. The respective samples sound levels are converted into low frequencies and are output, together with predetermined control information. In the current/voltage controlling section (40;50), current and voltage stimulus signals are frequency-modulated separately based upon the respective frequencies. The control section (30) and the current/voltage controlling section (40;50) are included in a stimulus signal generating section (10).

Patent EP-0309111-A3 (EP)
IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 1988-09-02
Abstract: Aggregation of tPA during cell culture produc­
tion, and during the period prior to purification, results 
in significantly decreased yields of the purified 
monomeric form. Aggregated tPA has a substantially lower 
specific activity than the monomeric form, and is 
potentially immunogenic. The aggregated form results from 
molecular changes which occur during the incubation under 
cell culture conditions, i.e., at temperatures of around 
37°C in conditioned medium. The problem of aggregation of 
tPA is overcome by removing tPA containing effluent from 
the cell culture conditions while substantially more 
unaggregated (monomeric) tPA is present than aggregated 
tPA, and maintaining the effluent under conditions which 
prevent the aggregation, for example, temperatures around 
4°C. The use of perfusion systems for the cell culture 
production of tPA also overcomes the aggregation problem 
because of diminished exposure of the tPA containing ef­
fluent to cell culture conditions, and the ease with which 
the effluent can be transferred to desirable conditions 
which lessen or prevent aggregation.

Title: Method and apparatus for characterization of optical systems
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 1989-02-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to quantitatively 
characterize a lense or optical system as to best focus 
position at various locations of the lense as well as to 
determine the curvature or focal surface, and the relative 
depth of focus of the various locations. A test vehicle is 
provided having an array of object groups, each object group 
being comprised of a small object (12) having a size about 
equal to the resolution limit of the lense or optical system 
and a large object (10) having a size substantially larger 
than the resolution limit of the lense or optical system, 
the groups being separated by opaque areas. The test vehicle 
is interposed in the lense path and the focal length set at 
a position which will resolve the large object but not the 
small object on an image sensor. The sensor is moved 
orthogonally with respect to the lense and the focal length 
changed and the object group projected again on the sensor. 
These steps are repeated successively until both large and 
small object images are resolved, and further continued 
thereafter until only the large object is resolved. A series 
of large and small images is produced for each object group, 
and the median point of the small image series for each 
object group represents the best focal distance for the 
location of the lense corresponding to that object group.
