Abstract: A triple beam resonator (10) is provided with three beams or tines (12, 14, 16) aligned in parallel alongside each other and joined at a decoupling zone (18) at each end, which is in turn connected to the surrounding material. The central beam (14) is twice the width of the two outer beams (12, 16). The resonating element has a length of 15.5 mm, a thickness of 0.25 mm and beam widths of 2 mm and 1 mm. The distance between the beams is 0.5 mm. Finite element analysis predicts the modal behavior with stress distribution and eigenfrequencies of the resonator (10). Thick-film PZT elements (20, 22) were printed on separate regions at each end of the central beam (14), where maximum stresses exist as the resonator (10) operates in its favored mode of vibration. The PZT element (20) at one end drives the vibrations, while the PZT element (22) at the other end detects them. Positioning the PZT driving and sensing elements (20,22) on the regions of maximum stresses maximizes the degree of mechanical coupling between the active piezoelectric layer and the resonator for generation of both driving forces and sensing signals. Very high quality factors of 3100 and higher have been experienced. Furthermore, the resonator can be manufactures by batch production techniques while maintaining high reliability and reproducibility.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a papermaking belt structure using tapes made of a solid thermoplastic resin surrounding a fibrous matrix. The method calls for applying a layer of CD oriented tapes to a mandrel surface, then applying a layer of MD oriented tapes over the CD layer, applying pressure and heat to the mandrel containing the CD and MD layers so to melt the resin and entirely bond/encapsulate the fibrous matrix. The belt structure thus obtained may thereafter be grooved, drilled or other processed as desired. Additionally, the above method can be reversed as to the MD/CD order of layering. Also, a layer entirely of resin can be applied, preferably prior to, but also after or in between the MD/CD layers. Also, rubber can comprise one or more layers.

Abstract: A method of measuring a load on a surface produced by a contact force. An elastic film or coating is located on a supporting surface to provide an indication of normal and tangential or shear forces applied to the surface. A thickness measurement, corresponding to a normal displacement, and a tangential displacement of the film, corresponding to a shear displacement, is obtained and input to a response function to reconstruct the normal and shear load components of the contact force on the surface. A differential thickness measurement of the film is detected by an optical method in which a luminescent output from a luminophore in the film is measured. A luminescent output from a reference luminophore located below the film is also measured to provide a measurement system independent of the illumination source used to produce the luminescent output.

Abstract: A valve for use in a shunt system to drain fluid from one part of a patient's body to another is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the valve is operable at a threshold pressure that is selectively adjustable up to at least about 400 mm H 2 O at increments in the range of about 10 mm H 2 O to 40 mm H 2 O. The ability of the valve to operate at a high threshold pressure and to be adjusted at relatively small increments renders the valve particularly advantageous for use in younger hydrocephalus patients. In particular, the operating pressure of the valve can be gradually limited in small increments over a period of time to slowly force the patient's own resorption system to circulate cerebrospinal fluid. At high operating pressures of at least about 400 mm H 2 O shunt independence can be achieved thereby allowing the shunt to be successfully removed.
