Title: Position detector constructed from conductive fabric
Inventor: SANDBACH DAVID LEE
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: A position detector incorporates regions 1501-7 having first and second planes of conductive fabric, wherein a mechanical interaction brings the planes of at least one of the regions closer together. The fabric may be woven, knitted or non-woven eg felt. Preferably one of the planes is unique to a region and the other is shared by some or all of the regions. A potential difference applied across at least one of the planes can be used to determine the position of the mechanical interaction. Electrical signals can be derived independently from the regions by Time Division Multiplexing TMD (Fig. 3) via a microcontroller (201,Fig. 2) operated circuit (121, Fig.2). At least one of the planes may consist of first and second portions (1206,1205, Figs. 12A,12B), the first portion having a higher resistance and being more flexible to allow complex curvature (Fig. 12B). Plates (1208, Figs. 12A,12B) provide additional rigidity to the second portion. A second electrical property eg current or resistance can be used to identify additional properties of the mechanical interaction eg applied force, area of contact or orientation of an object.

Title: Reflection type hologram scale for optical displacement measuring apparatus
Inventor: TOMIYA MASAKI
IPC: G01D5/38
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: A holographic grating (12) is formed on one surface of a transparent scale substrate (11) and a reflection film (13) is directly deposited on the grating surface. A protection substrate (15) is adhered to the reflection film (13) on the scale substrate (11) with adhesive agent (14). Thus a reflection type hologram scale (1) is accomplished which reduces unwanted interference and provides a more accurate measurement of displacement. A transmission type diffraction grating (3) is irradiated with a coherent beam of light (a) from laser diode (2) and acts to divide the incident light beam into two light components (b, c), and also combine the diffracted light beams (d, e) after they have been reflected by the hologram scale. Photodiodes (4, 5) detect the reflected beams and by suitable processing of electric signals, the direction of displacement can be detected with improved accuracy.

Title: Process and device for manufacturing mineral fibre products
Inventor: RUDOLPH KARL
IPC: D04H1/48
Filed: 1993-07-07
Abstract: When manufacturing mineral fiber products with compressed surface areas made of mineral fiber webs, in which the fibers extend substantially parallel, perpendicular or obliquely to the large surfaces of the mineral fiber web, which contains an uncured binder, it is very important to achieve a high tearing resistance and a strong fiber connection between the compressed surface areas or layers and the remaining part of the mineral fiber web. It is therefore proposed to expose at least one surface area to needling down to a predetermined penetration depth, in order to felt the fibers and at the same time to compress the surface area.
