Inventor: WRIGHT ROBERT W
IPC: B21G3/16
Filed: 1993-01-09
Abstract: Nails (12) having radially offset, circular heads (18) are manufactured from a malleable wire (20). The wire (20) is clamped so that a leading portion (20b) extends axially from a clamping mechanism (30,32). The extending portion (20a) is bent at an acute angle relative to a clamping axis. The extending portion (20a) is cut so as to form a pointed end (16) thereon and so as to leave a bent stub (20c) extending at such an angle. Such a nail head (18) is formed from the stub (20c), which is pressed by a punch (26) into a cavity (50) defined by the clamping mechanism (30,32), and which is deformed when pressed thereinto. The cavity (50) has a fully circular, offset margin. The punch (26) has a face covering the cavity (50). Once released, the wire (20) is fed axially until a leading portion (20b) extends as before. These operations are repeated to form a similar nail (12) in each repetition. A novel apparatus (10) for carrying out these operations is disclosed.

Abstract: In the novel arrangement for focusing and coupling semiconductor laser radiation into an optical fibre, in particular a multimode optical fibre, the aim is to realise a highly efficient coupling between a multimode high-power laser diode and a "multimode" optical fibre. In this arrangement, there is disposed in the region between the emitting face of the semiconductor laser (1) and the light entrance end (5) of the optical fibre (4) a radiation-focusing element in the form of a cylindrical lens (3) whose length LZ is essentially adapted to the width of a radiation exit window (11), defining the emitting face, of the semiconductor laser (1) and whose diameter DZ is essentially of the order of magnitude of the core diameter DK of the optical fibre. Furthermore, this cylindrical lens (3) is, preferably in the form of a fibre-optic lens, bonded directly onto the light entrance end (5) of the optical fibre (4), which extends essentially at right angles to the alignment of the cylindrical lens (3), or is fused with this light entrance end or is fused thereon. The arrangement according to the invention can be used, in particular, to produce laser modules of high power (up to 50 W) which are eminently suitable as pumping lasers for end-pumped solid state lasers, for example for medical applications or for materials processing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a cold cathode (5) which has an emitter (2) formed in the center portion (6) where ion bombardment is likely to occur, and a gate (4) formed partially thicker, or which has a metal layer with the same potential as the emitter (2) and a high melting point, formed in the center portion (6) of the cathode. Therefore, even bombardment of positive ions at the center portion (6) of the cold cathode (5) will not affect the electron emission, thereby ensuring an always stable cathode current or electron beam. Further, as the cold cathode (5) is designed to prevent the deterioration of the insulation between the emitter (2) and gate (4), abrupt stopping of the electron emission hardly occurs. Therefore, an electron tube using this cold cathode (5) has a stable function and high reliability.

Abstract: For conveying continuously supplied textile fabric webs through a long-time treatment chamber, so-called bar-chain conveyors are known, these consisting of a number of supporting bars which are fastened at large intervals to rotating chambers. In known bar-chain conveyors, there are difficulties in maintaining a uniform loop length. The new device is to guarantee a uniform loop length. The supporting bar (9) is fastened to an arm (10) which is connected to a chain link. The path of movement of the supporting bar (9) is guided in an arc around a chain wheel (4) arranged in the region of the loop formation. The diameter of the arc is twice as large as the effective diameter of the chain wheel (4). At the moment when the supporting bar (9) enters the arc, its speed increases abruptly. As a result, the bearing force of the fabric web (28) on the supporting bar (9) is increased abruptly. The fabric web (28) can no longer slip off on the supporting bar (9). The formation of the loop is terminated exactly at this moment. The device is especially suitable for textile steamers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention integrates a feedback means with a cursor control device wherein the feedback signal to the operator of the cursor control device is independent of the means for generating cursor control information. An embodiment of the present invention integrates an indicating rod in a pointing stick cursor control device. The indicating rod extends through the length of the pointing stick and is attached to an actuator on one end below the base of the pointing stick. A transitory feedback signal generated from a computer system activates the actuator to apply a force to the indicating rod which presses against a fingertip of a pointing stick operator. The feedback signal is generated whenever the host signals for it, such as when the window handle status of the cursor displayed on a display screen changes. The feedback signal does not affect the operation or feel of the pointing stick in generating the cursor control information. A similar indicating rod is integrated in a mouse cursor control device by placing the indicating rod in the selection buttons on the mouse. The cursor control information is generated by the movement of the trackball and the indicating rod presses against fingertips resting on the selection buttons so that the means for sensing a feedback signal is separate from the cursor control signal generation. Similar feedback indicating means can be integrated in two or more cursor control devices used for controlling a single or multiple cursors on a display screen. Moreover, the feedback signal can be generated on any status information associated with a cursor, including but not limited to, the window handle of the cursor.

Abstract: A voltage, replica of the difference between two dissimilar base-emitter voltages in the form of an intrinsic input offset voltage of a differential input pair of transistors of a noninverting, buffer-configured operational amplifier, is summed with a pre-established fraction of a base-emitter voltage, to produce a voltage reference without thermal drift of a level that can be as low as few 10mV. The intrinsic input offset voltage is controlled by a local feedback loop acting on the bias current that is forced through the input pair of transistors that may be realized with a certain area ratio. The relatively simple circuit is useful in battery operated, low supply voltage, systems.
