Abstract: An exercise device having a coupling member movable by the user between rest and end limit of travel positions, a constant weight, and a weight-lifting arm operatively connected to the weight and movable through a vertical plane to move the weight between rest and elevated positions corresponding to the rest and end limit positions of the coupling member. The device further includes a pivot arm pivotally movable through a pivot arm plane having a user-selectable angular orientation to transmit a selectable force between the coupling member and weight dependent upon the selected angular orientation. A link arm is connected between the pivot arm and the weight-lifting arm to transmit force therebetween. The pivot arm is pivotally attached to a rotatable pivot arm support which is selectively rotated by a lever arm moved by an electric motor and screw arrangement to selectively change the angular orientation of the pivot arm plane. The pivot arm plane is movable into a non-loading horizontal orientation where movement of the pivot arm transmits substantially zero force between the coupling member and the weight-lifting arm. The pivot arm plane is adjustable to produce a true zero weight setting on the coupling member. The exercise device provides infinitely variable adjustment of the loading on the coupling member within the range of possible weight settings even while an exercise is in progress.

Abstract: The invention relates to the continuous or discontinuous measurement of viscosity and its distribution, and of the melt flow index (MFI) or volumetric flow index (MVI) of non-Newtonian, in particular pseudoplastic, viscously similar and viscously dissimilar liquids, in particular polymer melts. The liquid is fed by means of a volumetric, controllable metering pump through a first capillary section or a first capillary and at least one further capillary section or a further capillary connected in series downstream of the first capillary section. A flow coefficient, in particular the viscosity or a measure of the viscosity distribution, is determined each time from the pressure drop over each capillary for a known measured volume flow. To achieve the capability of correlating viscosity and flow index and the clear assignment with respect to mean molecular weights and their distributions and changes, provision is made for the volumetric flow passed through the capillary sections to be controlled in such a way that the pressure drop over at least one capillary section is kept constant and for the volumetric flow delivered by the pump to be determined. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, in particular a diodelaser, comprising II-VI semiconductor materials. 
     The known device does not possess a good ohmic contact between a semiconductor layer, comprising e.g ZnSe, and a metal layer, comprising e.g. gold. 
     The semiconductor device according to the invention is characterized in that the device comprises between the semiconductor layer and the metal layer a further semiconductor layer is provided that comprises BeTe and has in the direction from the metal layer towards the semiconductor layer a graded composition from BeTe to the II-VI material of the semiconductor layer. Such a device possesses a very good ohmic contact and therefore a very low contact resistance. 
     Preferably the graded composition from BeTe to the II-VI material of the semiconductor layer is obtained by a stack of alternating (thin) layers of BeTe and the II-VI material, e.g. ZnSe. The relative thickness of each layer within each pair of two subsequent layers is graded in such a way that the effective composition within the stack is graded according to the invention. Excellent results are obtainable with such a device. Moreover, it is relatively simple to fabricate using e.g. MBE in a digital way, thus avoiding e.g. Te and Se segregation at the growth surface.

Abstract: In order to generate a two-dimensional image of an object, three-dimensional model data (110) is used. Drawing rules are stored (400) which correspond to features of the object. Each drawing rule corresponds to a two-dimensional representation of the corresponding feature when that feature is viewed from a particular viewing direction. The drawing rule corresponds, in each case, to a predetermined visual presentation of the feature from the corresponding viewing direction. The user then selects (120) the viewing direction and the two-dimensional image is generated (320) using the model data and the appropriate drawing rule or rules. In this way, a feature of the object may be shown in the two-dimensional image with a visual appearance which is appropriate even if that visual appearance does not result from the model data. The feature may then be shown in a way which corresponds to the purpose to which the two-dimensional image is to be put.

Abstract: A sonar system (10) provided for mapping the bottom (12) of a body of water to identify a submerged foreign object transmits and directs a sequence of the sonar pulses toward the bottom (12). The mapping is formed from a sequence of echo returns. Each one of the echo returns is produced as a range scan in a range direction (16) response to a corresponding one of the transmitted sonar pulses. The sonar system (10) stores signals representative of the intensity of the echo returns in a two dimensional array of pixels. Each one of the pixels represents the intensity of the echo return at a predetermined range position from the system in the range direction (16) and a predetermined cross-range position from a reference position of the system in the cross-range direction (14). The system (10) quantizes the intensity of each one of the pixels into one of a plurality of levels, and compares the distribution of the levels of pixels over a range scan at a cross-range position with the distribution of levels of pixels over a range scan having a different cross-range position to identify the existence of an underwater object.

Abstract: A means is provided to eliminate ink trajectory errors when an inkjet printhead (14) is fabricated as described below. In a preferred embodiment, a nozzle member (104) containing an array of orifices (17) is affixed to a barrier layer (30) formed on a substrate (28/120), the substrate having heater elements (96/98) formed thereon. The nozzle member is affixed to the barrier layer using heat and pressure. Each orifice in the nozzle member is associated with a single heating element formed on the substrate. The back surface of the nozzle member extends beyond the outer edges of the substrate. During the heating and pressure step used to affix the nozzle member to the barrier layer, the nozzle member undesirable bends over the outer edges of the barrier layer, causing the nozzles to be tilted outward. In one embodiment to prevent this bending from skewing the nozzles, the nozzles are initially formed at a slight inward angle to compensate for the subsequent bending of the nozzle member. In another embodiment, the barrier layer is formed with one or more trenches (144) parallel to the long edges of the barrier layer to cause the nozzle member to dip and bend over the trenches. The nozzles are located at the crest of the nozzle member and, thus, remain normal to the surface of the printhead.
