Abstract: A method and apparatus to enable a low power telephone controller to operate with either a carbon microphone or a dynamic microphone is described. A jumper in a preamplifier and filter circuit is preset to accommodate the audio transfer characteristics of one or other type of microphones. For either microphone, a small DC current of less than 500uA is used to sense the presence of either type microphone and serves the dual role of biasing the carbon microphone to the appropriate level to be amplified so that the input to an audio circuit in the controller us very nearly the same for either microphone. The audio circuit then processes and dynamically balances the signal to the telephone line, where it is output.

Abstract: An imaging flow cytometer is provided with a continuous-emission light source (45) for continuously monitoring cells passing through the image capturing area of a video camera (24) for cell-image capturing, and with an excitation light source for picking up a fluorescent image of a cell. When a line sensor (14) monitoring cell passage through the cytometer senses such cell passage, the cell is irradiated with strobe light and then, after waiting for the cell to move a fixed distance, with the excitation light. Thus, a particle analyzer is provided in which an image by white light resulting from the strobe light and a fluorescent image resulting from the excitation light can be captured simultaneously by a single video camera in either upper and lower halves or right and left halves of one imaged frame.

Abstract: Apparatus for continuous incubation of e.g. animal cells, has sterilising filters (25,26,27,28) in the connecting lines (35,36) which transfer liquid incubation medium from a medium supply storage tank (21) to the incubator (22), and from the incubator to a medium extraction tank (23). The sterilising filters prevent the spread of contamination from one element of the apparatus to the next. Sterilisation of the apparatus e.g. by steam (31) need not include pipe portions (B-C; F-G) between the filters, since contamination in these portions is trapped by the filters. By not sterilising these pipe portions, control units (C1,C2,C3) of the three system elements can function independently of one another in sterilising operations.

Abstract: 5 n7 Deposition of heated solder onto a plurality of conductive pads 18 which are disposed in one or more linear arrays on a circuit board is effected by a robotically controlled arm on which is mounted a solder nozzle. The solder nozzle is first manipulated to a selected point A offset in a known direction and distance from a first conductive pad by means of a data set which specifies the centroid and footprint for a selected group of conductive pads. After feeding solder into the solder nozzle, aligning the solder nozzle at a desired angle parallel to a linear array of conductive pads and lowering the solder nozzle until a solder droplet contacts the circuit board, the solder nozzle is manipulated at a substantially constant velocity toward the first conductive pad B and thereafter along a selected line which tracks the linear array of conductive pads. To avoid solder starvation at the last few pads in a linear array, the solder nozzle is manipulated C, D at a selected angle away from the selected line while decreasing the solder nozzle velocity. The angle of departure from the selected line is preferably an acute angle selected so that the solder nozzle avoids contact with alignment points 72 or other areas which do not require solder deposition.

Abstract: A low-recoil firearm (10) is proposed, especially a compressed-air weapon or a hand firearm, comprising a stock assembly (25) and a barrel assembly (20) which can be displaced relative to the stock assembly (25) in the longitudinal direction (B) of the firearm (10). In the event of firing, the barrel assembly (20) can be moved counter to the firing direction (A) from a firing-readiness position. The recoil of the barrel assembly (20) caused by firing is constrained by a latching device (40) which can be overcome by the recoil energy of the barrel assembly (20). When the latching device (40) is overcome, work is carried out by the barrel assembly (20), which work is extracted from the recoil energy so that the recoil which is finally transmitted to the person firing the weapon is at least significantly reduced. In the case of the firearm according to the invention, the axial force required to overcome the latching device (40) is adjustable in the barrel longitudinal direction (B). <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing bi-metallic tubing wherein a layer (3,31) of a first metal is metallurgically bonded to the exterior surface of a core component (1,29) of a second metal incompatible for solid state bonding with the first metal by processes other than explosive bonding, the resulting cylindrical bonded composite (15,25) is placed within the bore of a thick-walled tube (33) of a metal compatible for solid state bonding with the first metal and the assembly (39) is heated and expanded by passing it over a profiled mandrel (43). In passing over the mandrel sufficient pressure is developed at the interface between the bonded composite and the thick-walled tube to form a metallurgical bond at the interface. When the first metal is the same as the metal of the thick-walled tube the interface is eliminated and a bi-metallic tube consisting of a single outer layer of the first metal with a bonded lining of the second metal is produced. 
     The method is advantageous for producing large diameter tubes having an outer layer of cheaper metal for example, steel and a lining of more expensive metal corrosion-resistant metal, for example, nickel alloy.

Abstract: A maximum likelihood estimator (30) and range-only-initialization target detection method are employed to detect and resolve targets in a multislope linear frequency modulated waveform radar (10). The method resolves a large number of target returns without a large amount of signal processing and without creating a significant number of false alarms, or ghosts. The method and system simultaneously estimate range and doppler for each target. The method and system reject undesired long-range targets that fold into target regions, and processes target regions of interest around a nearest target to reduce signal processing throughput requirements. Using a K out of N detection rule, the method detects targets that compete with mainlobe rain clutter, mainlobe ground clutter, and receiver leakage. The method and system simultaneously estimate target parameters and optimally resolve any number of targets. Teh method and system are limited only by the number of frequency modulation ranging slopes, the slope values, and the doppler filter resolution set by the radar waveform design. The method and system have the ability to process and detect extended targets.
