Patent EP-0999513-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KATZ JOSEPH
IPC: G06K7/12
Filed: 1994-09-09
Abstract: To scan indicia on items moving through a
predetermined space, without having to manually orient
each item so that the indicia faces in a specified
direction, a plurality of optical scan units are arranged
around the predetermined space. Each scan unit emits
light along a different path and receives light reflected
from a surface of any item moving along the conveyor. As
a result, the scan heads have different lines of sight
and fields of view, and the system nominally scans a
plurality of different optimal planes oriented to
correspond to item surfaces expected to most often bear
the indicia. In some embodiments, optical fibers connect
the scan units to a central control unit. In such
embodiments, the central control unit houses both a laser
light generator and a photodetector, and the optical
fibers carry the generated laser light to the scan units
and carry the reflected light from the scan units back to
the photodetector. Circuitry in the central control
analyzes signals produced by the photodetector to derive
information represented by the optically encoded indicia.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, an optical fiber is provided with a protective
coating having enhanced thermal characteristics for easy removal from the optical fiber.
In particular, at elevated temperatures used in stripping, the delamination resistance
drops to low levels substantially independent of modulus. This permits fabrication of a
protectively coated fiber which has relatively high modulus and delamination resistance
at room temperature but, due to its enhanced thermal characteristics, is nonetheless
relatively easy to strip at elevated temperatures. Thus, for example, applicants can
provide a protectively coated optical fiber or ribbon with a room temperature modulus of
at least 90 psi, and a high temperature delamination resistance that is less than 40% of
the room-temperature delamination resistance and preferably less than 30%. Coatings
based on a polyether backbone and non-polar monomers are preferred.

Abstract: A process for producing an electrodeposited copper
foil with its surface prepared, comprising the steps of:
subjecting an electrodeposited copper foil having a
shiny side and a matte side whose average surface
roughness (Rz) is in the range of 2.5 to 10 µm to the
first mechanical polishing so that the average surface
roughness (Rz) of the matte side becomes 1.5 to 6 µm;
and subjecting the matte side having undergone the first
mechanical polishing to at least one further mechanical
polishing so that the average surface roughness (Rz) of
the matte side becomes 1.0 to 3.0 µm. The protrudent
parts of the matte side are selectively polished by the
first mechanical polishing, and the surface having
undergone the first mechanical polishing is further
subjected to the second and any ensuing mechanical
polishings under milder conditions. Thus, a highly
planar polished face with excellent surface properties
can be obtained. Moreover, depressed parts are not
polished, so that the amount of copper lost by the
polishings is extremely minute. The use of the
electrodeposited copper foil with its surface prepared
according to the present invention enables forming a
wiring pattern of extremely fine pitch.

Abstract: A flexible optical circuit includes a plurality of optical fibers mounted to a flexible
porous substrate. The optical fibers and flexible porous substrate are thereafter
encapsulated with a protective encapsulating material. The encapsulating material can
be a liquid which surrounds the optical fibers and flows through pores in the porous
substrate to achieve a structurally sound and protected flexible optical circuit. Because
the encapsulating material surrounds and protects the optical fibers, heat and pressure
are not required in forming the optical circuit, resulting in minimal optical fiber
breakage. Additionally, optical fibers may be positioned between two porous
substrates, and the fibers and both of the porous substrates then encapsulated by an
encapsulating material. A method of constructing the optical circuits includes providing
a flexible porous substrate with an upper surface and a lower surface, causing optical
fibers to adhere to the upper surface of the flexible porous substrate, and applying an
encapsulating material to the optical fibers and the flexible porous substrate to provide
strength and protection to the optical circuit. The encapsulating material can be applied
to the optical circuit by spray-coating the optical fiber and the flexible porous substrate
or by dipping the optical circuit into a bath of encapsulating material.

Abstract: An improved individual cylinder fuel control method based on sampled
readings of a single oxygen sensor responsive to the combined exhaust gas
flow of several engine cylinders. A model-based observer is used to reproduce
the imbalances of the different cylinders and a proportional-plus-integral
controller is used for their elimination. Both the observer and the controller
are formulated in terms of a periodic system. The observer input signal is
preprocessed such that it reflects at each point of time the deviation from the
current A/F-ratio mean value calculated over two engine cycles. Therefore,
transient engine operating conditions do not harm the reconstruction of the
cylinder imbalances dramatically. The control algorithm features
process/controller synchronization based on table lookup and a mechanism to
automatically adjust the mapping between the observer estimates and the
corresponding cylinders if unstable control operation is detected.
