Abstract: A CNC machine tool control system that includes a controllable, movable tool for shaping a workpiece, a mechanism for receiving control instructions describing shaping functions to be performed on the workpiece, a processing unit and memory. The control systems includes objects defined according to an object oriented design. One type of object is a model of a shaping process to be performed on a workpiece, including informational parameters regarding the physical dimensions of the shape resulting from the process. The process objects communicates through an object oriented messaging system to machine objects, which represent physical devices present on the CNC machine on which the control system operates. The system also includes object oriented motion control and exception handler objects, each of which may communication with other object via object oriented messages. The control system permits easy modifications to the control system by persons with limited knowledge about the entire control system, and is readily adaptable to advances in new CNC machine tools.

Abstract: A biological specimen analyser has a baseplate carrying primary and secondary vessels and an electrically conductive pipette needle to transfer set fluid vols. from the primary to the secondary vessels. A transport mechanism moves the pipette needle in three directions, two of which are horizontal and the other vertical. A drive moves the tip of the pipette needle (42) around the periphery of the upper edge of a reference block (45). The needle tip is kept at a set distance (d) from the upper edge of the reference block and this distance is a measure of the permissible curvature of the needle. An electrical circuit detects any contact between the needle tip and the reference block. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communication system utilizes an external signal of high accuracy to maintain a good degree of accuracy of synchronization of base sites. A good example of such a signal is the signal transmitted by the global positioning system (GPS) or, a high accuracy PCM (pulse code modulation) or other high accuracy signal provided by a terrestrial transmission network including the base sites. When the synchronization to the GPS signal on one or more base sites cannot be achieved, the communication system employs an alternate synchronization source on those base sites that are missing the synchronization to the GPS signal. The alternate synchronization source is a separate local oscillator of the base site. To achieve the degree of synchronization accuracy provided by the GPS signal, the communication system learns the behavior of each and every local oscillator. This characterization is performed on each base site, and is done by utilizing the GPS signal when the GPS signal is present. When the synchronization to the GPS signal is lost, the characterized local oscillator is then employed such that synchronization of the base sites is transparent to the base sites. Use of the GPS signal to characterize the local oscillators allows the characterized oscillator to provide the same degree of accuracy as that of the GPS signal. The method of characterizing the alternate synchronization source on a site basis makes it possible to take the local oscillators' individual characteristics, as well as the site specific conditions, into account.

Granted: 2002-12-11
Abstract: An electric, electromagnetic or acoustic signal between a transmitter and a receiver is measured. The transmitter provides pulsed signals which are received at the receiver end as rising and falling wave packets with several oscillations. The received signal is compared with a first predetermined threshold voltage and compared with a second threshold voltage using a second comparator. The second threshold voltage is approximately equal to the dc component. The first comparator is switched near the beginning of a positive or negative half wave of the received signal to provide a stop signal for a run time counter regardless of whether the first threshold voltage is greater than the second or less than the second threshold voltage.

Abstract: A machine for cutting and chopping corn and similar stalk-like harvested crops independently of rows includes drawing-in and cutting drums which are overlapped on the upper side in the region of their rotational sector by cover plates which interact each with a divider point for the harvested crops to be cut. The divider point extends in the driving direction. The outer edge of the cover plates in the region adjoining the respective divider point has an arching counter to the driving direction. The arching exposes the driving teeth of the associated drawing-in and cutting drum and forms an opening for the entry of the harvested crop between the driving teeth. This opening can optionally be closed by means of a blocking element depending on the nature of the crops being harvested.
