detection of breakthrough of a pulsed laser beam used to
drill through a substrate. The apparatus comprises one or
more optical sensors positioned out of line of the axis of
the laser beam, but positioned to monitor light emitted
from the cutting zone. The method comprises means for
identifying minute but significant changes in the rate of
decay of the trailing edge of each pulse of emitted light
as breakthrough occurs. Significant amplification of the
emitted light signals may be necessary before these
changes can be identified, but the discernible
characteristic change that triggers breakthrough detection
according to the invention is a rapid increase in the rate
of decay of the emitted light signal on the instant of
breakthrough.

Abstract: The novel equipment forms a plastic cladding or skin for an automobile component. A moulding shell is used in a first stage of skin formation. A zone (3) of this shell is masked (2). A first plastic (5) depositor (4) coats another, unmasked zone (6), to form the first section (7) of skin. During a second stage, once the mask has been taken away, a second plastic depositor coats another plastic onto both the first and second zones, hence overcoating the first layer. Thus the skin includes a bonded, overlapping layer and two single layers, the whole forming a single piece. Novel features include the depositors, comprising two open-ended tubs (4) accepting plastic and fitting the shell. These are used in rotary moulding operations, which form the coatings. The first tub (4) includes a screen (12) masking the first zone (3), keeping it clear of plastic in the first stage. The mask is mounted to and dismounted from the moulding shell, together with the first tub.

Abstract: A valve gating apparatus and method for injection molding includes at least one shutter disposed between the gate and the cavity melt channel into a mold cavity. The shutter is moved laterally, between a closed position wherein flow of melt from the nozzle into the cavity is inhibited, and an open position wherein flow of melt into the cavity is unimpeded by the shutter. Intermediate these two positions, the shutter can be employed to reduce the cross sectional area of the gate to throttle the gate. Embodiments are disclosed wherein one shutter or pairs of shutters are employed to gate the gate. Further, when pairs of shutters are employed, the shutters can abut each other in the close position or can overlie each other. This novel design prevents generation of waste material and eliminates the need to have devices for removing cold plugs.

Abstract: It is assumed that an element to be detected 2a in a position sensor
is mounted on a rotary shaft with the center O' of the element to be
detected eccentric from a center of rotation O by a distance d. When
the rotary shaft is rotated at a fixed speed, the positions at angles 0°
and 180° are accurately detected by a sensor 2b, while the positions at
angles 90° and 270° , the sensor detects the positions P1' and P3',
instead of P1 and P3 which are originally to be detected, resulting in
undulation of detected positions as shown in Fig. 3(b). The peak value
of the unduration and an angle of rotation at which the peak value is
found are determined. An amount of eccentricity d is found from the
peak value, a detection error with respect to the command position
(angle) is found from the amount of eccentricity d and the angle at
which the peak value is found, and correction the by detection error is
made with respect to the command position, providing a corrected
command position to a motor.

Abstract: A multi-pass spectrometer. Light from a source (4) is expanded and collimated with a collimating optic (10) into a collimated beam. The collimated beam illuminates a dispersing optic such as a grating (12) from which light is reflected back toward the collimating optic. A transmitting-reflecting optic (20) is positioned across the collimated beam to cause at least two reflections of at least a portion of the collimated beam from the dispersing optic. A photometer (18) measures the double dispersed beam at a range of spacial locations in order to determine spectral characteristics of the light from the light source. In a preferred embodiment, a partially reflecting mirror (20) is positioned between the grating (12) and a collimated optic (10). This mirror is positioned at an angle slightly different from 90 degrees so that a portion of the light reflected from the dispersing optic is reflected back toward the dispersing optic at a slightly different range of angles. A portion of this second reflected beam is dispersed again and reflected at a different range of angles by the dispersing optic. A portion of this second reflected beam transmits the partially reflecting mirror and may be focused, and the intensity of the light at spatially distinct positions are measured by a photometer to access spectral characteristics of the light source. In a second preferred embodiment, the light from a third reflected beam is measured.
