Abstract: A bistable nematic liquid crystal device cell is provided with a surface alignment grating on at least one cell wall and a surface treatment on the other wall. Such treatment may be a homeotropic alignment or a planar alignment with or without an alignment direction, and zero or a non zero pretilt. The surface profile on the monograting is asymmetric with its groove height to width selected to give approximately equal energy within the nematic material in its two allowed alignment arrangements. The monograting may be formed by a photolithographic process or by embossing of a plastics material. The cell is switched by dc pulses coupling to a flexoelectric coefficient in the material, or by use of a two frequency addressing scheme and a suitable two frequency material. Polarisers either side of the cell distinguish between the two switched states. The cell walls may be rigid or flexible, and are coated with electrode structures, e.g. in row and column format giving an x,y matrix of addressable pixels on the cell.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the strength of a magnetic field, comprises a first controller (14), a second controller (15), a digital-to-analog converter (16), a current driver (17), and a bias coil (18). The first controller (14) determines the position of the focal point of a lens (29) and passes it to the second controller (15), which provides a digital signal related to the position. The digital-to-analog converter (16) converts the digital signal to a driver voltage and passes the driver voltage to a current driver (17), which provides to the bias coil (18) a bias current related to the driver voltage. The bias coil (18) produces a magnetic field having a strength related to the bias current. The second controller (15) accounts for stray magnetic fields in creating the digital signal. The stray magnetic fields may be constant or may vary in strength based on position of the objective lens (29), circumferential velocity of the storage medium (2, 4), or longitudinal velocity of the storage medium (2, 4). Furthermore, the apparatus may comprise a current sensor (26) for measuring the bias current, and a feedback device for providing to the current driver (17) a feedback voltage related to the bias current. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1997-03-27
Granted: 1999-12-02
Abstract: This invention relates to double glazing having two glass sheets with numerous spacers arranged therebetween, a void therebetween being sealed in a decompressed condition. Conventionally, the glass sheets have edges thereof spaced from each other by a seal. Under the influence of the binding force of the seal, atmospheric pressure tends to act less on outermost spacers than on the other spacers. Consequently, the outermost spacers tend to move between the glass sheets. According to this invention, an outer interval (L1) between each outermost row of spacers (2) and a seal (4) is set at least equal to a basic interval (L0) between the outermost row and a second row adjacent thereto. Consequently, the spacers in the outermost rows bear a larger share of atmospheric pressure acting on the sheet surfaces than the spacers in the other rows. A sufficient force is secured to hold the spacers in the outermost rows in place, thereby preventing the spacers in the outermost rows from moving between the two glass sheets. <IMAGE>

The device (10) may include an internal, apertured flow-restricting device (60, 102) which defines a mid-barrel choke point for the material being processed. An alternate extruder (120) is configured without a mid-barrel restriction and is designed to operate at essentially atmospheric internal pressure throughout the majority of the length of barrel (122) with a significant pressure rise in the final head (134) adjacent the extrusion die. Preferably, the barrel (14, 122) has an internal bore of generally frustoconical configuration with an effective length to maximum diameter ratio (L/D) of at least about 6. Novel extrusion processes and products are also provided, using extremely short extrusion barrel retention times to give cooked extrudates having essentially no amino acid or vitamin nutrient losses, and/or dense, highly cooked, low moisture feeds.

Abstract: An artificial capillary testing apparatus (ACTA) is provided for evaluation of gas transport/exchange properties of a fluid. A sample fluid, having a known of measured partial gas pressure, is introduced from a gas-tight dispenser into an artificial capillary of known diameter located within an exchange chamber containing a flowing exchange gas. The artificial capillary is formed from a permeable material which permits gas exchange between the interior and exterior of the capillary. After exit from the artificial capillary, the effluent fluid is collected in a gas-tight collection cell, then removed from the apparatus to a gas analyzer to measure partial gas pressure, The dispenser, exchange chamber and collection cell are all enclosed within a temperature controlled cabinet, useful in measurement of oxygen transport properties of hemoglobin in blood or blood-substitutes. Flowmeters and other measurement devices can be inserted along the pathway upstream and/or downstream of the artificial capillary to provide additional data. The amount of target gas transferred out of the capillary for a given length is calculated as a function of the gas diffusion constant, the partial gas pressure gradient, the capillary radius and length, the flow rate, and the distribution of gas in its various phases. For evaluation of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, an empirical diffusion constant is calculated as a function of the diffusion in O2 partial pressure at the capillary, the Hb concentration, the flow rate, the known oxygen equilibrium curve (OEC) of the sample, and the cross-sectional area and length of the capillary.
