Abstract: In a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) a spot made from a very narrow beam of electrons (11) is scanned in fine strips across the specimen (18), and an image is built up from the electrons (e) that backscattered from area of specimen being scanned. To gather these back-scattered electrons it is presently common to employ a scintillator layer on the front face of a light guide that directs the generated light to a photomultiplier tube (23). However, having the scintillator layer on the front face means that the light has to pass through the layer to enter the guide, which necessarily wastes light by absorption within the thickness of layer material; the invention proposes instead that the light guide (22) have on its back side a scintillator layer (34) angled as though to reflect received electrons along the guide to the PMT (23). In this way the PMT is actually "looking at", and so receiving light directly from, the front, or input side, of the scintillator layer, and thus the light emitted by the layer does not need to travel through the layer to get to the PMT, and is therefore not attenuated by that layer-and a detector system of the invention is therefore several, even tens, of times more sensitive that one of the Art.

Abstract: Lorsqu'il reçoit une demande d'accroissement de largeur de bande via une cellule de gestion des ressources, l'élément de réseau détermine le débit qu'il peut prendre en charge. Si ce débit est inférieur au débit demandé, l'élément de réseau n'est plus contraint de rejeter simplement la demande, il peut désormais 'écraser' le débit codé dans le champ approprié de la cellule de gestion des rressources qui arrive pour le remplacer par un débit inférieur. S'il peut prendre en charge le débit demandé, l'élément de réseau laisse en l'état le débit codé dans la cellule de gestion des ressources, laquelle est transmise au réseau avec la connexion.

Abstract: A magnetohydrodynamic sensor having an annular or circular sense channel containing a conductive liquid proof mass. A radial flow is introduced into the annular channel which, in response to rotation of the device, produces a coriolis force and resulting circumferential velocity of the fluid. An electromagnetic winding produces an alternating electromagnetic field directed perpendicular to the annular channel. First and second electrodes sense a time varying electric potential induced between the center of the annular channel and the circumference of the annular channel. The time varying electrical potential is proportional to the strength of the time varying electric field and rotational velocity of the channel with respect to said proof mass. The transformer connected to the electrodes provides for amplification of the signal representing the rotational velocity of the channel with respect to the proof mass. Synchronous detection of the alternating voltage produced by the electrodes permits very small angular velocities to be measured.

Abstract: A space is created in the sausage filling between two adjacent sausages by rotation of a blade (4) mounted diametrically across the sausage machine. The sausage filling machine (1) consists of two concentric tubes (6 and 7). The sausage casing (10) is passed over the outer tube and crimped (11) at one end and filling passed through the inner (6). When enough filling for one sausage has been pushed into the casing the inner tube is rotated by a toothed wheel (13) acting at its upstream end. This also moves a blade (4) mounted at the downstream en d of the inner tube and clears all the filling from a portion of the casing. This allows the crimpers separating two adjacent sausages to be placed on empty sections of casing.

Abstract: The apparatus has an imaging device which converts light emitted by an illuminating device into a substantially parallel light pencil which illuminates a line in a line plane parallel to the sheet material and falls in a first illumination plane at a fixed angle of incidence, the first illumination plane forming with the line plane a first illumination angle and intersecting the line plane along the line. Light reflected along the line in a first detection plane at a fixed angle of reflection is imaged onto a detecting device, the detection plane forming with the sheet material a first detection angle and intersecting the line plane along the line. The angle of incidence is selected equal to the angle of reflection, and the first illumination angle equal to the first detection angle. For derivation of the magnetic properties of the sheet material components, the illuminating device preferably emits polarized light, and light specularly reflected along the line is analyzed before the detecting device by means of a polarizer.

Abstract: A digital mode receiver for the reception of signals from multiple independent subscribers, as on a cable television bidirection broadband data transmission system, adapted for subscriber inquiries and two-way data transmission. Each burst comprises a fixed preamble portion and a variable data portion. The received burst is sampled and fed to a sample storage buffer. The preamble portion's output is used to initialize an equalizer, and to synchronize carrier and modulation clock. By repeating the processing of the preamble and optionally all or part of each burst, accuracy of detection of the variable data is improved, so that it is feasible to receive individual bursts without burst-to-burst coordination, while using a short preamble for increased efficiency.

Abstract: Multiple sample introduction means have been configured in Atmospheric Pressure Ion sources which are interfaced to mass analyzers. Different samples can be introduced through multiple Electrospray (ES) or Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) probes individually or simultaneously and ionized. The gas phase ion mixture resulting from individual solutions sprayed from multiple ES or APCI probe inputs is mass analyzed. In this manner a calibration solution can be introduced through one ES or APCI probe while one or more sample solutions are spray from additional probes. Simultaneous spraying of calibration and sample solutions, results in an acquired mass spectrum containing peaks of ions with known molecular weights as well as sample related peaks. The calibration peaks can be used as an internal calibration standard during data analysis. Acquisition of mass spectra containing internal calibration peaks can be achieved by spraying different solutions simultaneously from multiple inlet probes without having to mix calibration and sample solutions in the liquid phase. Arrangements of ES and APCI probes can be configured in one API source chamber and the solution flow through any combination of ES or APCI probes can be switched on or off during an analytical run. A single mass analyzer can serve as a detector for multiple separation systems each delivering sample solution through separate ES or APCI inlet probes into an atmospheric pressure ion source.

Abstract: The detector (6) for the secondary electrons in a SEM provided with an electrostatic objective (14, 16) is arranged ahead of the objective, thus enabling a high detection efficiency. According to the invention, the deflection of the beam is performed electrically and the deflection electrodes (10, 12) are arranged between the detector (6) and the last two electrodes (14, 16) of the objective. The beam deflection is realized by means of two oppositely directed electrical deflection fields in such a manner that the tilting point of the scanning motion is situated at the center (20) of the objective lens, thus avoiding additional lens defects and obstruction of the beam by the limited dimensions of the objective bore. This results in a large field of view, without loss of resolution. Furthermore, deflection by means of two oppositely directed fields has the effect that the paths (24) of the secondary electrons traveling to the detector (6) are shaped such that a larger part thereof reaches the detection material (6).

Abstract: The spring interior (10) comprises springs (12) with different spring constants (hardness). The variation of the spring constant is effected by changing the average radius of the windings (13) between the central winding (15) and the two end rings (14) of each individual spring. With a spring winding machine (21) whose bending tools can be set and adjusted by software during the production, in this manner spring interiors (10) may be manufactured which comprise any amount of zones of differing hardness. With this, all springs (12) consist of wire with the same diameter, the same end ring (14) diameter and the same height, and the automatic manufacture may be effected without conversion of the spring interior assembly automatic machines.
