Title: Thermal annealing of palladium alloys
Inventor: ABYS JOSEPH A
IPC: H01R43/16
Filed: 1992-05-25
Abstract: This invention is concerned with production of electrical devices comprising an electrodeposited conductive region free from cracking defects. In the production of a contact portion of the device from a metal strip electroplated with a conductive stripe of an alloy, the stripe exhibited, upon stamping and forrning operation, cracked areas. Typically, the stripe coating on the metal strip, such as a copper bronze material, includes a layer of nickel, a layer of palladium alloyed with nickel, cobalt, arsenic or silver, and a flash coating of hard gold. The cracking defects were eliminated by subjecting the plated strip to an annealing treatment prior to the stamping and forming operation. After the heat-treatment, the stripe was free from cracks and separations between the successive layers.

IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1992-07-30
Abstract: LIGHT SCATTER ESTIMATION METHOD WITH RANGE SCANNER AND DEVICE        Inventor: Tonis KASVAND     ABSTRACT          A range scanner measures distances to surface elements in a scene and can measure the back scatter of the scanning laser beam to obtain a "gray level" value at the same points where the distance readings are taken. The back scattered illumination values are only obtained of the  light from the  scanning laser.  The proposed improvement to the scanner allows light scattering measurements to be  taken  from  many  directions,  in  different  spectral  bands (colours), and with polarized light, as desired, while all the readings remain in registration with the distance values.  The device simplifies  industrial  inspection of products,  improves estimation of spectral properties of objects during copying of object shapes for electronic transmission, archival, reproduction, etc.
