Patent GB-2183677-A (GB)
Title: Method for forming a silicide film
Inventor: ARIMA JUNICHI
IPC: H01L21/28
Filed: 1986-11-06
Abstract: A metallic silicide film 3, containing silicon at a concentration higher than stoichiometry, is deposited on a substrate 1, such as a silicon wafer. A film of aluminum or aluminum alloy 4 is then deposited on the metallic silicide film 3. Subsequently, a heat treatment is conducted to cause precipitation of silicon 5 from the metallic silicide film 3 to the aluminum 4, thereby to lower the silicon concentration, and thus the resistivity, in the silicide film 3. Typically the metal of the silicide film is Mo, W, Ti or Ta. The substrate may have an oxide film 2 on its surface. The metallic silicide layer may be formed by conventional sputtering techniques.

Title: Circular weft knitting machine
Inventor: TIBBALS JR EDWARD CAMP
IPC: D04B15/99
Filed: 1986-11-21
Abstract: In a circular weft knitting machine having needles such as compound needle members (84) and associated sinker elements (474), cam tracks (492, 494) for the sinker elements cause the latter to rise concurrently with the lowering of the needles so as to cooperate in drawing the loops. The needle and sinker cam tracks are symmetrical so as to be the same in either direction of rotation and they maintain a fixed vertical distance between the needles and sinkers for a predetermined period after the loops have been drawn. Quality control is effected by raising the needle cylinder (80) and sinker assembly (28) by means (172) which may be controlled in dependence on a comparison between the amount of yarn used to form a course and the desired value. <IMAGE>

Title: Engine cooling systems
Inventor: MARTINIS FRANCO
IPC: G05D23/13
Filed: 1987-04-02
Abstract: A heat engine 2 comprises a thermostatic assembly 1 mounted in a cooling system comprising a first circuit 39 formed in the cylinder head 3 of the engine 2, a second circuit 45 formed in the cylinder block 4, a circulation pump 5 and a radiator 6 and comprises a displaceable rod 8 which acts on shutter discs 17, 14, 21 to open and close apertures 33, 37 which cause the various parts of the system to communicate.

Title: Distance-measuring apparatus
Inventor: SCOTT GUY LINDSAY
IPC: G01S17/90
Filed: 1987-09-14
Abstract: Distance measuring apparatus for use, in particular, in computer vision applications comprises an array (1) of video cameras (2), and a computer (11) which averages the intensities of images produced by all of the cameras to produce a synthetic image, and to cause effective offsetting of a focal plane for the cameras to a number of different distances from the plane of the cameras. Sections of the synthetic image corresponding to those distances are thereby distinguished from each other. The computer is preferably operative to determine contrast in sections of the image, preferably by measuring the variance of image intensity over the section. The distance to the objects in the image is indicated by which is the sharpest section. The computer also preferably determines the distance corresponding to a particular section of the synthetic image by determining the phase and amplitude of the first Fourier component of the intensity. <IMAGE>

Title: An opto-electronic method for determining by length-measurement the quality of cultured fish and a device for implementing the method
Inventor: LANDMARK PER
IPC: A01K61/90
Filed: 1987-10-09
Abstract: Fish is sorted according to quality by the fish 11 being caused to swim through a translucent canal or tube 1 in which it is subjected to radiation of at least one source of radiation 2. The radiation is detectable by a number of photo-detectors in cameras 20 in a row along the length of the tube 1 and the signals from the respective photo-detectors are fed into a computer where the length of the fish is calculated from the degree of masking of the photo-detectors by the fish. A device for implementing the method comprises a translucent tube 1, at least one source of radiation 2 and a number of photo- detectors arranged along the length of the tube 1 . The photo-detectors emit a signal depending on whether a fish 11 is present in the tube 1 between a photo-detector (6) and the source of light 2. Each photo detector is arranged in a camera 20, and in front of the photo-detector there is arranged a cylinder lens (8 Figure 2) with its longitudinal axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube 1. An ultrasound probe 13 is preferably arranged in the tube 1 to form a visual/digitalized image of the fish 11 internally. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-890325-A (GB)
IPC: G01B13/16
Abstract: 890,325. Linear-dimension gauges. VERNON, G. W. April 25, 1958 [Jan. 25, 1957], No. 2793/57. Class 106 (2). Apparatus for gauging a workpiece TP having nominally parallel grooves comprises means 11, 12 for locating the workpiece in a position determined by reference to one groove, a pair of separately supported gauging abutments 15, 16 movable towards the workpiece to engage a selected groove near opposite ends thereof and indicating means (not shown) responsive to the axial displacement of each of these abutments when it engages the groove. The workpiece TP is gripped by abutments 11, 12, 13, and a clamping member 14, moved into position pneumatically. Feelers 15, 16 which enter one groove at opposite ends thereof are each connected to the body of the machine by bars 39 and spring strips 33, 35. Rightangled levers 42 are pivoted to the bars 39 by strips 44 and the lower ends of these levers are set to a height corresponding to the correct position of the groove to be checked by a pin 45 resting on the surface of a rotatable stepped member 26, the steps of which correspond to the different grooves of the workpiece TP. The vertical arms of the levers 42 coact with air nozzles 46 carried by members 38 rigidly attached to the feelers 15, 16. Thus inaccuracies in the position or alignment of the groove being tested are indicated pneumatically. Alternatively mechanical dial gauges could be used. Another embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), is described in which the members 38 are set at a height corresponding to the groove to be gauged and the spring strips 33, 35 only have to flex sufficiently to accommodate errors in the position of the groove. In this embodiment, the nozzles 46 are attached to the members 38 and co-operate with members rigidly attached to the feelers 15, 16. In a further embodiment the nozzles coact with the surfaces of the stepped member 26. In each case the operations of withdrawing the feelers from the workpiece, indexing the stepped member and re-positioning the feelers are accomplished pneumatically.
