Abstract: A light source unit for using exposure in a photomechanical process provided with a light emitting tube (1) insulated against cooling liquid and having a light transmissive jacket tube (2) fixed surrounding the light emitting tube (1) and letting to light of wavelength desirable for exposure of the objects to be irradiated pass through it by absorbing light component of undesirable wavelength where the energy of absorbed light is removed by cooling liquid passing through therein. The unit also has a circuit for preventing a danger of electric shock by interrupting electric current of the electric source owing to the action of leak current detector by the action of current leaked from the terminals and others of said light emitting tube.

Abstract: The present plant operating invention employs a modeling system that arranges the model in a hierarchical structure of communicating and independently executing object modules controlled by an overall supervisor. Each object represents a component or a system and includes an object controller which communicates with other object modules, an object error checker and an object model. The objects communicate through a database accessible by all objects. The structure of the object module and the hier­archical structure itself are standardized allowing new components or systems to be added by adding a standard object module which includes an object model that is unique to the object being modeled. The controller for an object causes subobjects upon which the object model depends for data to be executed prior to execution of the object model. Such bottom up model traversal insures that models do not execute until all needed data is available. The error check module checks the controller and model modules to make sure they are executing properly. The object model includes a deterministic equation based com­ponent aging model, a statistical based component aging model and expert rules that combine the deterministic and statistical model with the knowledge of experts to deter­mine the current state of the object and make recommenda­tions concerning future actions concerning the object. A   maintenance module is also included along side the super­visor that allows maintenance actions for the objects to be taken into consideration.

Title: Semiconductor photodetector and method of operation
Inventor: BROWN DALE MARIUS
IPC: A61B6/02
Filed: 1990-12-12
Abstract: The photodetector device (10) has a large detection area in combination with a low output capacitance. A photodetector system employing this device can provide low noise as a result of the device's low output capacitance. The device (10) preferably comprises a body (12) of semiconductor material of one conductivity type with a large detector region (22) of the opposite conductivity type disposed adjacent a major surface and with a substantially smaller output region (26) also of the second conductivity type disposed adjacent the same surface and spaced from the detector region. The detector region (22) is coupled to the output region (26) by an insulated gate electrode (34) which controls the potential underneath the gate electrode. The output region (26) is biased to reverse bias its PN junction with the body region and the gate electrode (34) is biased in the same polarity with a magnitude to maintain the channel region at a lesser potential so that the floating detector region is at a lesser potential than the output region and capacitively decoupled from the output region.

Abstract: A compression method for moving picture signals that are interlace moving pictures, when prediction coding is used as the method of compressing image signals, divides an input frame image into input field images, divides a comparison frame image into comparison field images, detects a motion vector of the input field image with respect to those comparison field images, and makes an extracted motion vector which is smaller than the value for evalution of prediction error, the motion vector for motion compensation prediction coding. In addition, a reference frame is set for each predetermined inter-frame interval, and the field image signals of one of the reference frame image signals have intra-field coding performed by linking inside fields, while the other of the field image signals undergoes inter-field coding on the basis of signals that have undergone coding processing for the other field image signal or the image signals of it, while the other frame image signal undergoes inter-frame coding on the basis of field image signals corresponding to the reference frame that comes either before or after it, or those signals that have undergone coding processing.

Abstract: An apparatus for establishing a flexible rate interface (FRI) link on a standard ISDN link. The FRI link has its own signaling channel that is distinct from the signaling channel of the standard ISDN link, and the signaling channel of the FRI link is transparent to intervening switching systems. There are no geographical restrictions on a FRI link. The signaling channel of a FRI link may be established by designating a B channel of a standard link, by using a logical link of a D channel of a standard ISDN link, or by using standard ISDN user information transport facilities to communicate the signaling channel. FRI transport channels are B channels of a standard ISDN link or subchannels of a B channel.

Abstract: An in situ curometer has been developed to follow the cure of thick articles during molding, by measuring continuously the dynamic mechanical properties (shear modulus and loss angle). The apparatus is designed to provide cure data on curable articles such as rubber products and components in situ, during the curing of the article, to improve manufacturing cure efficiencies. The curometer is a small-scale version of an Oscillating Disk Rheometer, designed to operate through a mold wall. An approximate theoretical treatment has been developed to relate the observed torque and loss angle to the dynamic properties of the rubber compound.

Abstract: A maintenance elevator 40 is employed in the case of an emergency situation such as a failure of the carriage 16 or in carrying out regular maintenance and checkup operations. An operator can get on the maintenance elevator 40 brought to a stop at its lowermost position. The maintenance elevator 40 is moved upward along a post 12 and is brought to a stop at any position in which, for example, a gangway 57 formed integrally with the elevator 40 is opposed to the carriage 16. Movement of the operator between the maintenance elevator 40 and the carriage 16 can be done by utilizing the gangway 57. 
     Transfer from the maintenance elevator to the carriage and vice versa can be always made in an easy and safe manner by using the gangway. Provision of all the gangways at the maintenance elevator side realizes weight reduction at the carriage side, good energy saving, and cost reduction.

Large-scale embroidery machines may provide several hundred embroidery positions, and each position is provided with an individually-actuable cutting and gripping device. These individual cutting mechanisms are in turn collectively mounted on one or more feeder bars that permit the pivotal movement of the cutter/grippers into and away from a position in close proximity to the embroidery needle stitch points. This pivotal movement permits the close cutting of the thread when required, yet otherwise locates the thread cutter/grippers at a position away from the stitch points during the embroidery operation itself.

Abstract: A pulse generation and sensing arrangement in a microprocessor system (100) includes an input/output terminal (130) which receives an input signal or produces an output signal, an edge detector (132) which senses pulse edges in the input signal, timers (108, 110) which produce time values, registers (120, 124, 126) which hold time values produced by the timers corresponding to edges detected by the edge detector or which hold values corresponding to pulse edges to be generated, comparators which compare the values held in the registers with time values produced by the timers, and a flip-flop (128) for generating a signal whose state changes in response to the comparators. The arrangement allows the generation and/or sensing of signals with short pulse widths and a wide range of duty cycles, and minimises software overhead. A continuous PWM signal may be generated without further software involvement after initial writing of edge values.
