Patent EP-0588414-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KUCHTA DOUGLAS ALLAN
IPC: G06F1/20
Filed: 1993-09-03
Abstract: An enclosure for heat generating electronic components establishes an airflow path for cooling air. Air is forced through the enclosure by powered air movers, one of which is mounted at the air inlet to the enclosure, and the other of which is mounted at the outlet. Preferably only one air mover is used at a time. In the event of failure of the air mover being used, the remaining air mover begins operation. The total cooling airflow passes through both air movers, and thus the air movers may thus be said to be arranged in series with respect to the airflow. Because the air movers are mounted in series with respect to the airflow, the airflow pattern is substantially the same regardless of which air mover is currently operating. Thus, hot spots which may result when one fan in a fan bank fails are avoided. In the preferred embodiment, the enclosure houses a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) of a computer system. In an alternative embodiment, air movers arranged serially with the airflow can be used to provide additional cooling for severe operating conditions.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preparation of a hybrid direct positive silver halide emulsion comprising the steps of (1) forming an essentially cubic host grain emulsion consisting of silver bromide or silver iodobromide, with a iodide content between 0 and 10 mole %, by a balanced double jet, (2) depositing epitaxially on the corners of said formed essentially cubic host grains a silver iodide crystallographic phase wherein said silver iodide phase contains at most 5 % of the total crystal silver halide, either by precipitating a silver chloride epitaxial phase and converting it to silver iodide, or by adding silver ions and an organic iodide releaser. 
     The organic iodide releaser is preferably mono-iodoacetic acid.

Abstract: An ion beam source (10). The source includes multiple apertures (31) bounded in close proximity by an extraction electrode (34) for extracting positively charged ions from the source. Ions exiting the source combine downstream to form a broad beam (14) which, in one utilization of the invention, is used for ion beam treatment of a silicon wafer. Individual electrodes (40) in close proximity to the extraction electrode can be biased to either inhibit or allow backstreaming of neutralizing electrons from beam portions close to the source back to the extraction electrode. This allows the beam portion to become deneutralized and, therefore, unstable. The unstable beam is diminished in intensity since positively charged ions within that beam portion exit the beam. An isolation plate (50) separates beam portions in close proximity to the extraction electrode to inhibit beam crosstalk and an additional suppression electrode (70) common to all beam portions is controllably biased to further enhance control over beam portion intensity. In a typical application, the beam is a circular beam and intensity control is maintained to assure common intensity for a given radii from the beam center.

Abstract: An initial curvature is cut into a lens blank in a lens making machine, such as a lathe, and the curvature is subsequently finished by a finishing tool. The finishing tool has curve characteristics which correspond to those of a prescription within a prescribed tolerance. The curvature of the finishing tool is measured on a digital gauge, and those measurements are fed to a digital controller which actuates the lathe. As a result, an initial curvature is cut into the lens blank having characteristics which correspond to those of the finishing tool. The finishing operation can thus be performed more quickly, since less material needs to be removed from the initial curvature during the finishing operation.

Abstract: A grazing incidence optic is fabricated by grinding, polishing, or both, using a tapered, barrel-shaped tool. The optic surface to be ground or polished is placed in contact with a selected portion of the grinding or polishing surface of the tool, and the tool is rotated about its longitudinal axis. The optic is subjected to a reciprocating grinding movement along the length of the barrel tool. A helical groove in the tool allows slurry to pass between the optic surface being worked and the tool surface. Air is forced between the optic surface and the tool surface to release the optic from the tool.

Abstract: An on-delay circuit using a fail-safe electronic circuit. An input signal higher than a power source potential is inputted to a PUT oscillation circuit. A pulse signal generated with a predetermined time constant is once converted to a level within the range of the power source potential by a level conversion circuit. This signal is inverted and differentiated at its leading edge. The input signal of the PUT oscillation circuit is applied to one input terminal of a fail-safe two-input window comparator and the differential signal is inputted to the other input terminal for self-retention. An output of a logic value 1 is generated from the window comparator with a predetermined delay time. Accordingly, there is provided a fail-safe on-delay circuit the delay time of which is not reduced due to breakdown of a circuit constituent element.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical dispenser includes a housing (4), containing two pharmaceutical cartridges (32,34), slidably mounted to a sliding body (100). A replaceable needle manifold assembly (10) is mounted to the housing and fluidly couples the cartridges with a hypodermic needle at a common exit. The sliding body is part of a reciprocating drive assembly used to drive a pair of drive stems (88) against the pistons (96, 98) of the cartridges, thus forcing predetermined amounts of the pharmaceuticals out the needle. The movement of the sliding body between retracted and post-injection positions remains constant. However, the amounts and proportions of the pharmaceuticals injected during the delivery stroke is chosen by the user using stroke adjusters (182) carried by the sliding body. A bistable status flag (186) is mounted to the sliding body to indicate when the sliding body is in the post-injection and the retracted positions. The dosage adjustments are made when the sliding body is in the post-injection position. If a dose selected is more than is available, the sliding body is prevented from moving to the retracted position so that the status flag is not tripped.

Date Mar. 3, 1994A teat for feeding liquids to animals adapted to be fastened to a source of liquid such as a pipe or drum in use to project outwardly from the source. The teat has a resilient outer end which is closed apart from a slit in it which slit is itself normally adapted to be closed by the resilience to provide a sufficient liquid seal. The closed outer end is preferably concave, coned, cusped or otherwise re-entrant. A reinforcing member such as webs are located, preferably internally on either side of the slit so that if the end of the teat is squashed or compressed by sucking forces exerted by the animal, with components along the direction of slit, the reinforcing member causes the slit to be pulled open, thereby allowing liquid to flow out of it in use. The pulling action allows an acceptable flow rate from a comparatively small slit which is less prone to leak than a large slit.
