Abstract: A contactless apparatus for measuring contaminants in a semiconductor specimen (24) includes a tunable microwave generator (26) coupled by a coaxial cable (36) to a tuned narrowband microstrip antenna (38) that defines a through hole (72). The antenna is placed in near field relationship to the specimen to direct microwave energy toward a first specimen surface (44). This proximity provides a substantially more powerful microwave field than prior art systems, and the specimen comprises an impedance termination for the microwave path that includes the microwave generator and antenna, thereby rendering system measurements substantially immune to mechanical vibration of the specimen. A pulsed laser (42) directs optical energy through the antenna through hole toward the first specimen surface (44). The optical energy generates minority carriers within the specimen that begin to recombine upon cessation of each pulse. Minority lifetime decay affects microwave energy reflecting from freed holes and electrons in the specimen, which energy is coupled from the antenna to a detector (46) and preferably a computer system (48) that controls the system and provides signal processing of the detector output. Because of the enhanced microwave sensitivity, measurements may be taken over a wide dynamic range of injected optical energy, thus permitting injection spectroscopic measurements. The computer system permits a display (50) that maps contaminant location and concentration within the specimen, based upon recombination lifetime data. Optionally the system permits measurements of a non-oxidized specimen disposed in an electrolytic bath (60) that passivates unoxidized surfaces to minimize surface recombination effects upon measurements.

Abstract: A six degree of freedom limb movement resistance system is described in which a linkage system of links and joints couples a fixed point in space to a movable end-point of the linkage. A limb coupling cuff is attached to the end point. Variable resistance force can be applied to the linkage via computer controls through a feedback path from position and velocity sensors. The linkage endpoint force acting to resist limb motion is in a direction opposite to the endpoint velocity vector.

La partie (2) comprend un disque (4) monté fixe sur le rotor (1) et une pluralité d'aimants permanents annulaires (6a, 6b) placés sur le disque (4) de telle façon qu'ils soient séparés les uns des autres dans le sens radial du rotor (1). Les parties terminales supérieure et inférieure de chaque aimant permanent (6a, 6b) ont des polarités magnétiques mutuellement opposées, et les parties terminales correspondantes, dans le sens vertical, d'aimants permaments adjacents (6a, 6b) ont des polarités magnétiques opposées. L'entrefer des aimants permanents (6a, 6b), dans le sens radial, est optimisé sur la base de la taille (largeur) des aimants (6a ,6b) dans le sens radial. On peut donc augmenter la capacité de charge et la rigidité, empêcher les vibrations d'arbre du rotor, et le rotor (1) peut être soutenu d'une façon stable, sans contact.

Abstract: A depilatory apparatus for removing body hair (850) on the human body is described, in which at least one erection element (801) is provided, which is mounted rotatably in the rotating cylinder (4) of the depilatory apparatus. By means of a drive roller (821) which is connected to the erection element (801) and moves along a track on the inside of the housing of the depilatory apparatus during rotation of the rotating cylinder (4), the erection element (801) is likewise set in rotation. In this case, the direction of rotation of the erection element (801) is directed counter to the direction of rotation of the rotating cylinder. As a result, in particular those body hairs (850) which are pressed tightly against the skin of the user due to corresponding growth or due to the rotary movement of the rotating cylinder (4) are reliably erected again. The hairs can be clamped by the clamping elements of the rotating cylinder (4) and pulled out upon further rotation of the rotating cylinder (4). <IMAGE>
