IPC: G01N15/02

Abstract: The incorporation of certain classes of solid state lasers into light scattering instrumentation is desirable because of their compact structure. However, mode hopping often causes the output power produced by such lasers to be unstable. The frequency of such output power fluctuations is often so broad that output power monitoring means, characteristic of the light scattering instrumentation into which such lasers are incorporated, cannot track accurately the temporal output power fluctuations. A method, and associated apparatus, is described whereby the laser drive current is modulated at low frequency and amplitude sufficient to induce and thereby control mode hopping so as to permit accurate measurement of the ratio of light scattering signals to the laser output power.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for providing reactant vapors to a utilization site. The apparatus includes a vaporization chamber enclosed by top and bottom walls, side walls and first and second end walls. The first end wall is elevated with respect to the second end wall. The reactant is supplied in liquid form to a flow distributor that delivers the liquid to that portion of the bottom wall near the first end wall. The angle with which the bottom wall is inclined with respect to horizontal is sufficient to cause the liquid to flow down the bottom wall at a rate sufficient to form a film, the thickness of which is smaller than that thickness which would support a bubble during heating of the film. The surface is heated to a temperature greater than the boiling point of the liquid, thereby converting the liquid reactant to a vapor that is delivered to the vapor utilization site.

Abstract: In order to reduce movement of a switch push button, a rocker switch has first and second tappets for engagement with first and second ends of the rocker. The tappets are mounted for movement with an operating member and pivot between inward and outward positions. A tappet presetting member projects from the rocker to preset the tappets so that with the rocker in a first position the first tappet is in its inward position to engage the rocker. Movement of the operating member thus causes the first tappet to move the rocker to its second position while the second tappet is in its outward position and free from the rocker. With the rocker in its second position, the second tappet is preset in its inward position to engage the rocker. When moved by the operating member it moves the rocker to its first position while the first tappet is in its outward position free from the rocker.

Abstract: A combination mitre and bevel saw 10 is disclosed which includes an elongate fence guide 74 operatively connected to the saw blade assembly 20 and pivotable between a retracted position and an extended position in the plane of the saw blade 26. A spring 72 biasses the fence guide 74 into its retracted position. The fence guide 74 may be pulled down by the saw operator into its extended position so as to indicate the position at which the saw blade 36 will impinge upon the workpiece and so as to allow the setting of two fence members 17a, 17b accordingly. The fence guide 74 includes a leading 78, which indicates the width of cut which the saw blade will make in the workpiece and a wider portion 80, trailing the leading edge 78, which indicates the optimum spacing of the fence members 17a, 17b. As the saw blade 36 is pivoted about a bevel axis 92 to enable bevel cuts to be made, the fence guide 74, supported on a guide support 62 also pivots about the bevel axis 92 by a corresponding amount. Thus, the fence guide 74 always lies in, and pivots in, the plane of the saw blade 36. 
     It goes without saying, of course, that the fence guide 74 lies in the plane of the blade 36 and, at least in the position A, the blade, on pivotting about axis 28, must not impinge the guide 74. The same is also true of the housing 20 which, in the plane of the blade 36, has an opening permitting entry of the fence guide 74 within the housing 20 when the latter is pivotted downwardly about axis 28. 
     The fence guide 74 permits an accurate estimate of the cut which will be made in a workpiece and also provides for accurate and optimum positioning of the fence members 17a, 17b.
