Abstract: A gas producing apparatus is described for producing a glass-formating gas required in a flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD) method, a VAD method or an OVD method. A glass-formating material is supplied intact in the form of a liquid to a vaporizer (28), and the supply quantity of this liquid material is controlled directly by a liquid flow rate control means (26) while the material is kept in the form of a liquid. In addition, at the same time as the liquid material is vaporized by the vaporizer (28), a fixed amount supply means (29) supplies an inert gas or a combustion gas at a fixed flow rate to the vaporizer (28). Since this prevents a pressure rise in the vaporizer (28), the liquid material is stably supplied to the vaporizer (28). Therefore, a fixed amount of vaporization of the liquid material is constantly performed in the vaporizer (28) without being influenced by variations in the atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, since the vaporized material is supplied to a deposition burner (31) together with the inert gas or the combustion gas supplied at a fixed flow rate from the fixed amount supply means (29), the burner (31) injects a fixed amount of the material gas at any instant.

Abstract: A reference block is divided (at 6) in the horizontal direction into small blocks, and is also divided in the vertical direction into small blocks. Feature values representing each of the small blocks formed from the reference block are obtained (at 8A, 8B). Similarly, a check block is divided (at 7) in the horizontal and vertical directions into small blocks and feature values representing the small blocks formed from the check block are obtained (at 9A, 9B). The feature values in the horizontal direction of the reference and check blocks are compared (at 10A), and the feature values in the vertical direction of the reference and check blocks are compared (at 10B). The results of the two comparisons comprise an evaluation value by which the degree of matching of the reference and check blocks is evaluated. The check block is moved (by 14) throughout a predetermined search range, and the process is repeated for each position of the check block. A motion vector is produced (by 12) between the reference block and the check block position at which the check block best matches the reference block.

Abstract: An electric motor such as a universal series wound motor having permanent magnetic segments (38,40) mounted within slots formed in the poles (14,16) of the stator. The permanent magnets are precisely positioned and securely retained within the slots with an injected metal bonding agent having very stable mechanical properties even under severe temperature conditions. The permanent magnets ensure that a predetermined level of braking current exists when the armature is short circuited to effectively dynamically brake the motor. The AC supply signal is rectified to prevent demagnetization of the permanent magnets and to avoid overheating of the permanent magnets and the armature caused by the continuous changing of polarity of the AC supply signal. An alternative embodiment describes a modified armature core construction that sufficiently reduces eddy current losses to offset the addition of the permanent magnet braking members.
