Abstract: A galvanomirror (9) includes a rocking member (25) provided with a reflector (24). The rocking member (25) is constituted of a semiconductor such as silicon, and connected to a hollow portion of a first plate (21) through two elastic members (26). Second and third plates (22, 23) are insulatively bonded onto both sides of the first plate (21). Four electrodes (28-31) are symmetrically provided on those portions of the second and third plates (22, 23) that correspond to the rocking member (25). In this constitution, if the rocking member (25) is charged positively (negatively), the electrodes (29, 30) are charged negatively (positively), and the electrodes (28, 31) are charged positively (negatively), the rocking member (25) is rotated (rocked) while the elastic members (26) are twistedly deformed.

Abstract: Described herein is apparatus and method for automatically interfitting a part (2) and mount (3) which utilize a housing (12) having a chamber and an inwardly tapered alignment surface (15). A piston (20) reciprocates in the chamber of the housing (12) and has a gripper end (27, 28) that moves out of and into the housing (12), past the alignment surface (15), when alternating spring and air pressure forces act on the piston (20). The movement of the piston (20) accurately positions a gripped part (2), and the housing (12) then reciprocates so that the alignment surfaces (15) accurately position a mount (3). The piston (20) then moves the part (2) to an interfit with the mount (3).

Abstract: In the signalling system, the signal provided at the beginning of a track section is dependent upon the signal provided at the end of the track section, allowing for the travel velocity restrictions within the track section and the braking characteristics of the train. The track section is divided into successive track elements (A1,A2.1,A2.,A3) of defined length and gradient, with the signal at the beginning of the track section also dependent on the sum of the track element lengths between the signals and the track section gradients.

Abstract: An improved shapemeter is provided to measure the flatness of metal strip under tension as the strip passes over a shapemeter roll (10), the shapemeter including a stationary shaft (11) with a set of bearings (40) that allow the strip to easily pass over the shapemeter roll (10). The stationary shaft (11) does not touch the inner ring (13) of each bearing, but the inner ring (13) is urged against a block (12) having horizontal and vertical flexural members (20,21) that deflect giving only a single degree of freedom. This single degree of freedom allows each block (12) to rotate about a pivot point (O), which is defined by the locations of the flexural members (20,21), in the transverse vertical plane only. The shaft (11) has a slot (33), which provides an open area in which a single box (28) that contains all the force transducers (22) is mounted. Each force transducer (22) (e.g., a load cell) is attached to a thrust button (23) that contacts the corresponding block (12), and thereby absorbs some of the vertical load on the block (12). The horizontal component of the force on the block (12) is entirely supported by the pivot flexural members (20,21). The vertical component of this force is partly supported by the pivot flexural members (20,21) and partly by the corresponding force transducer (22) (through the thrust button 23). In this manner, the range of force being detected by each force transducer (22) is reduced, thereby allowing for greater low-end sensitivity and accuracy, and the variation in force sensed by the force transducer (22) is minimized if the wrap angle of the strip varies.

Abstract: A needle assembly having a single-handedly activatable needle barrier includes a needle cannula having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therethrough connected to a needle hub having an interior cavity in fluid communication with the needle cannula. A guide element is connected to the needle hub and includes an aperture therethrough. An elongate barrier arm having a proximal end and a distal end is provided. The distal end of the barrier arm includes a barrier element having a needle passageway therethrough. The barrier arm is positioned within the aperture of the guide element and the needle cannula is positioned at least partially within the needle passageway of the barrier element. The barrier arm is movable from at least a retracting position wherein the distal end of the needle cannula passes completely through the barrier element so that the distal end of the needle cannula is exposed, to a second extended position wherein the barrier element surrounds the distal end of the needle cannula to prevent incidental contact with the distal end of the needle cannula. Locking means is provided for preventing the movement of the barrier arm from the second extended position.

Abstract: An optical device 10 characterized by an electrode (<200 ohms/square) that is transparent to infrared radiation through and beyond the mid-wavelength infrared (3-5 micrometers), and long wavelength infrared (8-12 micrometers), out to 30 micrometers. The optical device 10 is characterized by a sandwich of a thin (≦ 0.001'') conductive silicon wafer 11 optically contacted or bonded to an optically transparent substrate 12. Typical substrates 12 that may be employed are cadmium telluride, zinc sulfide or zinc selenide substrates. The substrate 12 provides the rigidity necessary to prevent optical distortion which can result from bowing caused by mounting stresses. The optical device 10 provides an electrode having high infrared transmission without the optical diffraction effects produced by a conductive grid. Unlike conductive coatings, the optical device 10 does not incur transmission degradation caused by temperature increases. The optical device 10 provides an optical window for use with liquid crystal light valves, and the like, or where heating and/or electromagnetic shielding is required together with long wavelength infrared transmittance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing the vertical blanking of multiple frame buffers which may exist on the same computer or separate computers for certain applications including stereo display, virtual reality and video recording, which require such synchronization. To obtain the required synchronization one frame buffer is designation as the master. It provides a signal called FIELD that changes state (0 to 1 or 1 to 0) at the start of every vertical sync event on the master frame buffer. All other frame buffers are set to be slaves. Their timing generators sample the master's FIELD signal. When they detect the master's FIELD signal changing state, they set their own internal timing to match to thereby achieve frame synchronization.

Abstract: To determine the tensile breaking force of a selected rod/wrap member weld joint (W 1 ) in a metal screen of a tubular sand screen assembly used in downhole oil and gas recovery operations a test specimen (30a), including a single rod segment (32a) and arcuate segments (34a) of the wrap member welded thereto, is removed from the screen. The removed test specimen (30a) is supported between base (38) and cover (40) portions of a specially designed test fixture, and a compressive force is exerted on the fixture (eg by a spring test machine) to forcibly move the base and cover portions thereof toward one another. The base and cover portions of the test fixture are configured such that the compressive force is converted to a tensile force exerted on a selected single rod/wrap weld joint (W 1 ) in the specimen, and the tensile force exerted on the weld joint at its breakage is recorded.
