Abstract: Self-aligned, opposed, nanometer dimension tips (12, 22) are fabricated in pairs, one of each pair being located on a movable (24) single crystal beam, with the beam being movable in three dimensions with respect to a substrate (18) carrying the other tip (12) of a pair. Motion of one tip with respect to the other is controlled or sensed by transducers (120, 122, 124, 126) formed on the supporting beams (62, 64). Spring means (76, 80, 86, 88) in each beam allow axial motion of the beam. The tips (12, 22) and beams (62, 64) are fabricated from single crystal silicon substrate (18) and the tips (12, 22) may be electrically isolated from the substrate (18) by fabricating insulating segments (40, 54) in the beam structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat roof composite comprising a resin-impregnated mineral fibre layer (1), a fabric layer (2) with impregnated adhesive throughout the layer, the adhesive penetrating also into the surface of the mineral fibre layer, and a moisture impermeable sheet (4) adhered to the fabric layer by the adhesive (5). The fabric is preferably formed of woven strands (3) of glass fibre filaments. The fabric is united with the mineral wool insulating core prior to passage through the curing oven which cures the resin applied to the mineral wool in the spinning chamber. The size of the apertures between strands of glass fibre filaments is selected so as to allow penetration of liquid adhesive into the wool and reduces delamination of the water impermeable sheet.

Abstract: A circuit for sensing a magnetic field has at least one saturable coil (L1). The circuit includes switches (S1, S2) controlled by a comparator (12) to drive the coil (L1) to saturation by alternating polarities of current. In the absence of an external magnetic field the currents are balanced. An applied external magnetic field causes an unbalance in the coil (L1) in reaching saturation. An unbalance current is applied through a sensing resistor (R2) to an integrator (20) to develop an output voltage (Vo) as a measure of the applied magnetic field. The switches (S1, S2) are implemented by transistor switches. Dual (FIG. 1) and single (FIG. 2) supply rail circuits are disclosed. The circuit finds particular application in torque transducers using magnetoelastic elements.

Abstract: A process for synthesis of a polymeric polyalcohol substantially and preferably built up form polyester units and composed of a monomeric or polymeric initiator molecule to which at least one dentritic branch (dendron) consisting of a number of branching generations is added. The branching generations comprise a polymericor monomeric branching chain extender having three reactive functions of which two are hydroxyl groups. The two hydroxyl groups of the ranching chain extender is acetal protected by reaction between said two hydroxyl groups and an acetal-forming carbonyl compound, preferably an aldehyde. The acetal protected branching chain extender is then employed for addition to the initiator molecule of a first branching generation followed by an optional deprotection of the hydroxyl groups by decomposition of acetals and for addition in repeated steps of further branching generations. Additions of branching generations individually employ an acetal protected branching chain extender synthesized from the same or a different branching chain extender and/or acetal-forming carbonyl compound and addition of a branching generation is optionally followed by addition of a spacing generation.

Abstract: A device for producing sponge iron from iron oxide lumps consists of a reduction shaft in which a hot dust laden reducing gas is delivered. The gas is produced in a gas generator by means of partial oxidation of solid carbon carriers and passes into the lower end of the reduction zone via lateral reduction gas inlets. The iron oxide lumps are fed to the upper area of the reduction shaft and are radially fed as sponge iron to the lower end of said reduction shaft via delivery organs. The delivery organs are arranged in such a manner that the sponge iron is conveyed only radially outwardly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of detecting a predetermined mark embedded in an image. The mark (29) comprises a predetermined arrangement of a plurality of elements (30), each element having a predetermined colour characteristic and predetermined shape. The method processes (20) the image to provide an encoded representation of the image at a predetermined resolution (eg. 200dpi). The coordinate positions for substantially each of the elements of the mark embedded in the image are detected (22), wherein the detection is characterised by applying at least one mask (80) to substantially each pixel of the encoded representation. From the coordinate positions, a set of spatial features representing a spatial arrangement of the detected elements are then determined (23). The determined set of spatial features is then compared (24) to a known set of spatial features to provide a confidence level measure for a degree of matching between the known set and the determined set of spatial features. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vascular assist device which maintains a static graduated pressure as the minimum pressure at all times during use. At least two inflatable chambers which wrap around selected portions of a limb apply elevated pressure to selected portions of a limb to disgorge blood therefrom. The inflatable chambers also apply static pressure which is graduated from distal to proximal along selected portions of a limb, such as from the ankle to the hip. A separate inflatable foot chamber can be included and is not necessarily utilized in conjunction with the compression phases for the ankle, calf, or thigh inflatable chambers. A desired pressure level is generated and maintained in a pressure accumulator, and a pressure regulator and regulator valve control the pressure in the inflatable chambers. The inflatable chambers between the ankle and hip are inflated to a predetermined and uniform dynamic pressure which is maintained in the inflatable chambers for a predetermined amount of time. The pressure is then decreased to a static pressure level which is graduated in pressure from the most distal inflatable chamber to the most proximal inflatable chamber between the ankle and the hip. The cycle is repeated after maintaining graduated static pressure for about forty five seconds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure control valve (1) comprising a control piston (3) which is able to slide in a valve hole (4). Under the effect of an energy accumulator (5) said piston in one direction of displacement connects a pump connection (23) with a consumer connection (24) and in the other direction of displacement connects the consumer connection (24) with a tank connection (21) such that the pump connection (23) is closed off. The aim of the invention is to provide a pressure control valve which functions reliably and in a stable manner even in case of elevated control dynamics. To this end, independently of the direction of displacement of the control piston (3) a minimum volume flow present between the piston and the valve hole (4) dampens the displacement of the control piston (3).

Title: Antenna of waveguide type for receiving satellite signals
Inventor: PETERSSON STIG ANDERS
IPC: H01Q15/06
Filed: 1999-05-20
Granted: 2008-11-05
Abstract: An antenna suited for receiving/transmitting electromagnetic signals from/to at least two satellites, which are fixedly placed at points on the geostationary path, is waveguide or lens type, formed by a multitude of waveguiding channels, which for example can be rotationally symmetrically arranged about an axis. Signals from remote points, which arrive in directions somewhat deviating from the direction of the axis, e.g. in an angle alphain thereto, exit after being refracted in the antenna in a different direction, so that the angle alphaut on the exit side differs from the angle alphain on the entrance side. It is achieved by having all of the waveguiding channels form suitably adapted angles to the axis. For a concave antenna it can give an increased separation between the positions, to which signals from remote objects are refracted by the antenna. It results in, for example, large more efficient receiver horns being used for the same size of the antenna.
