Patent CA-2186437-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MUEHLBERGER ERICH
IPC: C23C4/12
Filed: 1996-09-25
Abstract: A single cathode plasma gun injects powder therein so that the powder exits along a central axis of an exit barrel of the gun, in order to provide improved coatings of the powder material on a workpiece. The central axis of the single cathode extends from an arc chamber and intersects with the central axis of the exit barrel so as to form an acute angle which is substantially greater than 0° but no greater than 90°.  Examples of the acute angle include 45° and 10°.  A powder feed passage extends along an axis which may be coincident with the central axis of the exit barrel or may form an angle with the central axis of the exit barrel of as much as 45°.  Consequently, the axis of the powder feed passage forms an angle with the central axis of the single cathode which is at least as great as the acute angle between the central axes of the single cathode and the exit barrel.  Existing plasma guns can be retrofitted with a new anode attachment to achieve desired angles of plasma flow and powder delivery.  Where the central axis of the single cathode forms an acute angle with the central axis of the exit barrel, the resulting bend in the passage extending from the arc chamber below the single cathode is disposed adjacent an entry end of the exit barrel, and the powder feed passage terminates adjacent such bend.  Alternatively, the powder can be introduced into the middle of the plasma stream at the entry end of the exit barrel by a powder injector extending into the exit barrel from the wall of the passage.  The single cathode can be axially adjusted to move the charged plasma region adjacent the termination of the powder feed passage, for more effective heating of the powder.  The angles formed by the central axes of the single cathode and the powder feed passage relative to the central axis of the exit barrel can be adjusted relative to each other so that the injected powder is deflected along the central axis of the exit barrel, again providing for an improved coating of the powder material on a workpiece.

Patent CA-2198614-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAPSKI DIETMAR
IPC: H01P7/08
Filed: 1995-08-23
Abstract: In order to compensate for changes in the resonant frequency of the resonator arising from variations in the distance between the reference distance (dS) and an actual distance (dS+/- DELTA dS) in HF stripline resonators with a stripline (10) arranged at a reference distance (dS) from a metal conductor (11), the stripline (10) is curved. The curvature induces eddy currents in the conductor (11) which reduce the inductance of the HF stripline resonator. The shorter/longer the distance between the stripline and the metal conductor, the smaller/greater the inductance. As the shortening/lengthening of the distance between two conductors also increases/reduces the capacitance of the HF stripline, however, with the appropriate dimensions of the curved stripline, the two effects cancel each other out and the frequency of the HF stripline resonator is virtually stable with the aforementioned distance variations. The two effects cancel each other out and the frequency of the HF stripline resonator is virtually stable with the aforementioned distance variations.

Title: Vibration gyroscope
Inventor: MORI AKIRA
IPC: G01C19/5649
Filed: 1997-04-28
Abstract: A vibration gyroscope which is capable of accurately detecting a rotational angular velocity regardless of environmental changes or changes in vibrator characteristics includes a vibrator formed of a vibration element, and first and second piezoelectric elements for detection and a third piezoelectric element for driving. Output currents of the first and second piezoelectric elements are converted into voltages by I-V conversion circuits, or output voltages of the first and second piezoelectric elements are detected by voltage detection circuits, and then the voltages are added together by an adder circuit. An output signal of the adder circuit is monitored by a monitor circuit. On the basis of this result, the voltage or the phase of a drive signal fed from an oscillation circuit to the third piezoelectric element is controlled. The output signals of the I-V conversion circuits or the output signals of the voltage detection circuits are formed into a DC signal corresponding to a rotational angular velocity via a differential amplifier circuit, a synchronization detection circuit, a smoothing circuit, and an amplifier circuit.

Filed: 1997-02-13
Abstract: An O-ring shaped annular rib (63) is disposed around the outer periphery of a flexible diaphragm member (62), and grooves (70, 71) are formed in first and second resin members (60, 61) for receiving the annular rib (63) in the compressed state. A hollow space is defined between the first and second members (60) for holding the diaphragm (62) in the clamped state. A contact surface (64) where the first and second synthetic resin members (60, 61) come into contact with each other, is located outward of the grooves (70, 71), and is subjected to welding with a supersonic welding tool (65). A gap (76) is formed between the first synthetic resin member (60) and the supersonic welding tool (65), which gap disappears as the welding progresses. At this time, further progress of the welding operation is inhibited by allowing the first synthetic resin member (60) and the supersonic welding tool (65) to provide a predetermined compression for the annular rib (63).      Alternatively, a metallic spacer (77) is interposed between the first synthetic resin member (60) and the second synthetic resin member 61 with a gap (78) between the second synthetic resin member (61) and the metallic spacer (77) prior to a welding operation, which gap (78) disappears as the welding operation progresses, until further progress of the welding operation is halted.
