Title: Engagement detection connector
Inventor: TSUJI TAKESHI
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: The invention is designed to detect an incomplete engagement of a connector at an earlier stage. 
     A female connector 10 is formed with a locking arm 13, and a male connector 20 is formed with an engaging groove 23. A short-circuiting fitting 41 is mounted in the lower portion of the locking arm 13, and detection terminals 42 are inserted below the locking arm 13. Accordingly, as the locking arm 13 is deformed at an intermediate stage of an engaging operation, the short-circuiting fitting 41 is moved downward, thereby electrically connecting the detection terminals 42. When engaging projection 13c formed on the locking arm 13 pops into the engaging groove 23, thereby fully engaging the connectors 10 and 20, the detection terminals 42 are electrically disconnected. In other words, by being notified of the intermediate stage of the engaging operation, an operator can determine the completion of the engaging operation earlier.

Abstract: A platesetting method and apparatus provides for dimensional and/or exposure sensitivity changes in a printing plate (12) to be imaged in a platesetter (10). A condition sensor senses the temperature of the plate (12) prior to exposure so that a control unit (16) can adjust the control commands to the scanning exposure mechanism (14) of the platesetter (10) in order to compensate for any thermal expansion or exposure sensitivity shifts. An image to be recorded onto the plate material (12) has a standard size at a standard plate material temperature. When the plate material (12) is at a non-standard temperature, as determined by the thermal sensor, a program, stored in memory, calculates a new image size based on the non-standard temperature and the thermal characteristics of the plate material (12) which are also stored in memory. The imagesetter electronic controller (16) then exposes an image having a size which will be the standard size when the plate material (12) returns to the standard temperature.

Abstract: A 3 dimensional image is textured for display on a screen by firstly receiving data comprising the location of each elementary area (pixel) of the screen and associated image data for that pixel. Texture image data is retrieved from a memory means in dependence on the image data and an appropriate portion of that texture image data is mapped onto the pixel. The number of pixels which share the same associated image data is determined and an incremental change in the mapping of the texture data onto pixels corresponding to a one pixel increment is also determined. For each pixel sharing the same image data as an adjacent pixel the previously derived texture image data for that adjacent pixel is combined with the incremental change in texture image data to thereby derive texture image data for that pixel. 
     An arithmetic division for implementation using hardware or software is performed by firstly storing the reciprocal of each nth value in a range 0 to X where n is greater than 1 and storing the differences between the reciprocals of the intervening n-1 values. A mantissa and an operand for an arithmetic division are received. One of the stored reciprocals is retrieved in response to the most significant part of the received mantissa and a set of differences is retrieved in response to a least significant part of the received mantissa. The differences and the reciprocal are summed and the result is multiplied by the received operand, thereby giving the result of the arithmetic division.

Abstract: This invention relates to wear components having synthetic diamond wear surfaces, and more particularly, to diamond-coated wear components, and to a method of making such components. 
     It uses a layered diamond film structure which reduces or eliminates the need for polishing the diamond surface after deposition of the diamond film. The smooth surface characteristic of (100) orientation diamond is used to advantage, without the accompanying low wear resistance property, by depositing a different orientation (111) diamond and then depositing an exceedingly thin top layer of (100) orientation diamond. Said second layer will preferably have the minimum thickness required to overgrow the rough underlayer, and to provide a smooth free-surface of the diamond film.

Title: Methods and apparatus for a multi-electrode micromechanical optical modulator
Inventor: YURKE BERNARD
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1997-04-30
Abstract: A micromechanical optical modulator, and methods for operating the modulator are disclosed. The modulator has a membrane supported over a region of a substrate. At least two electrodes, and preferably more, are disposed on the membrane. Each electrode is in electrical contact with a controlled voltage source through a shift register for sequentially applying a voltage to the electrodes. An optical window for receiving an optical signal is defined between two adjacent electrodes. In operation, a voltage pulse is applied to the substrate and each of the electrodes. As the voltage is applied, an electrostatic force is generated, drawing the membrane towards the substrate and thereby generating a mechanical pulse in the membrane beneath each electrode. The pulses are propagated through the membrane to the optical window. The voltage pulses are timed so that the mechanical pulses reinforce one another creating a pulse or displacement in the membrane at the optical window equivalent to the sum of the pulses generated by each electrode. As the membrane is displaced from its initial position and moves toward the substrate, there is a change in an optical property of the modulator, such as its reflectivity to an optical signal. Thus, by changing the position of the optical window, relative to the substrate, an optical signal can be modulated.
