Title: Apparatus and method for locating the direction of an atomic beam
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 1988-01-25
Granted: 1991-07-31
Abstract: Related systems and methods are described for determining the angular direction of an atomic beam (2) relative to the beam's reference axis (4). For a non-relativistic atomic beam, a pair of counterpropagating (6 and 8), equal frequency laser beams intersect the atomic beam at a known angle to the reference axis (4), preferably perpendicular. The atomic beam direction is inferred from the frequency difference between resonant peaks in the laser beam fluorescence as the laser frequency is scanned. For a relativistic atomic beam, a pair of laser beams (46 and 48) intersect the atomic beam from different sides at equal predetermined angles. The atomic beam direction is determined by observing the difference between resonant absorption peaks in the transmitted laser (38) beam intensities as either the laser beam (38) frequencies or laser beam angles between the laser (38) and atomic beams are preferably selected to minimize the widths of the resonant peaks. For both the relativistic and non-relativistic cases, an FM derivative spectroscopy technique is used by which the derivatives of the laser beam intensity signals are obtained, and zero crossings of the derivative signal used to precisely locate the resonant intensity peaks.

Abstract: A thermal imaging device comprises a non-pixellated detector (3) which includes a component (12), such as a liquid crystal element, having optical properties which vary with temperature. An infra-red lens (1) forms a focused image of a thermal scene on the non-pixellated detector. A visible light source (17) is arranged to illuminate the non-pixellated detector such that visible light from the source is modulated by the image formed on the non-pixellated detector. A second detector (7), such as a television camera chip, detects the modulated visible light to give an output which is representative of the image of the thermal scene. A visible light zoom lens (5) is interposed in the optical path between the non-pixellated detector and the second detector so that variation of the focal length of the zoom lens varies the field of view of the thermal imaging device.

Abstract: A method for the isolation of a substantially pure L-isomer of an amino acid from its D,L racemic mixture does not require the use of a resolving agent, the formation of a derivative of the amino acid or additional enzymic reactions. The method is based upon the concept of the equal saturation point wherein the L-isomer can be separated from the D-isomer by precipitation of the L-isomer when the relative concentration of the D-isomer is less than 7.0% or by precipitation of the D,L racemate when the relative concentration is greater than 7.0%. Selective crystallization through seeding allows for further isolation of pure L-isomer when its relative concentration in solution is very low.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for forming metal matrix composite bodies and the novel products produced therefrom. A negative shape or cavity, which is complementary to the desired metal matrix composite body to be produced, is first formed. The formed cavity is thereafter filled with a permeable mass of filler material (7). Molten matrix metal (8) is then induced to spontaneously infiltrate the filled cavity. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are also in communication with the filler material (7), at least at some point during the process, which permits the matrix metal (8) when made molten, to spontaneously infiltrate the permeable mass of filler material (7), which at some point during the processing, may become self-supporting. In a preferred embodiment, cavities can be produced by a process which is similar to the so-called lost-wax process.

Abstract: Une pompe d'injection de carburant pour moteurs à combustion interne comprend un piston (14) qui effectue un mouvement alternatif et une soupape de commutation (29) commandée par un appareil de commande (34) dont la durée de fermeture détermine le début de l'alimentation et la course d'injection effective du piston (14), calculée par un processeur faisant partie de l'appareil de commande (34) en fonction des paramètres instantanés de fonctionnement du moteur à combustion interne. Pour que la course du piston détermine directement le début et la fin de l'alimentation, un capteur de course (36) détecte la course du piston (14) et l'applique sous forme de signal de course réelle à l'appareil de commande (34), qui compare ce signal de course réelle à un signal de référence correspondant au début souhaité de l'alimentation et au signal de course de consigne calculé par le processeur de commande. Lorsque ces signaux coïncident, l'appareil de commande (34) génère un signal de fermeture ou d'ouverture de la soupape de commutation (29). Afin de compenser une dérive éventuelle du capteur de course, on utilise un signal relativisé de course réelle dans lequel l'écart de la course maximale mesurée par rapport à la course maximale nominale du piston (14) est pris en considération.

Abstract: High purity gold films are photochemically deposited on substrates from the gold containing compound (CH3)2Au[CH(COCF3)2]. A vapor of the gold containing organometallic compound, possibly mixed with a carrier gas, is flowed over the surface (26) of the substrate (22), which is at 0°C to 160°C, and preferably at ambient temperature. Photodissociation is induced with ultraviolet light, inasmuch as the organometallic compound is strongly absorbing in the range of from about 300 to 340 nanometers. Substantially no organic fragments are deposited upon the surface (26), so that the deposited gold film is of high purity.

Abstract: Pour déplacer une pièce d'étoffe (1) sur une table de travail (2) au moyen d'un robot à pont mobile (4), on abaisse sur le tissu un organe manipulateur (7), monté sur un bras de robot (6), muni d'une plaque plate recouverte de mousse. On a découvert qu'en laissant l'organe manipulateur reposer de son seul poids sur le tissu, c'est-à-dire sans exercer de pression sur lui au moyen du bras, on peut mieux manier le tissu. Un élément d'accouplement flexible (8) permet à l'organe manipulateur de flotter librement, tout en empêchant un déplacement rotatif entre le bras de robot et l'organe manipulateur. L'élément d'accouplement est monté de manière mobile vers le haut et vers le bas le long du bras. Un autre membre d'accouplement (13), auquel l'organe manipulateur est fixé, peut basculer le long de deux axes horizontaux. Lorsqu'on élève l'organe manipulateur, de l'air comprimé est introduit dans l'élément d'accouplement, mettant en contact les parties (11, 15) des deux membres d'accouplement (10, 13) de sorte que l'organe manipulateur est fermement maintenu dans une position horizontale jusqu'à cequ'il soit abaissé sur le tissu, et que la pression soit relâchée.

Abstract: The invention relates to a protecting device for a synchronous motor, for detecting an asynchronous state, caused by a mains disturbance, in which a susceptance (1 DIVIDED X) is determined from the stator current (I) and stator voltage (U), which susceptance activates a trip if a protection characteristic (s;s';t), defined by an adjustable response value ((1 DIVIDED X)e), is exceeded. If the synchronous motor is connected to an approximately constant mains voltage, then the detection of the reactive component (IB) of the stator current (I) or the reactive component (PB) of the power (P) is sufficient. With suitable adjustment of the protecting device with respect to asynchronism and lose of synchronisation as a consequence of mains disturbances, it is also possible to detect faulty under-excitation or loss of excitation of the synchronous motor. <IMAGE>
