Abstract: Such methods are usually employed in a substrate-surface inspection machine for the inspection of wafers. In addition to very small particles (in the range of 100 nm) crystal defects, metallic impurities, polishing defects, scratches and other irregularities on wafers can be visualised using devices of this type. In this case, such wafers are inserted, in so-called wafer cassettes (1, 2), before or after inspection into an inspection device and are presented to a gripping system on accurate positioning blocks (3, 4), and are from there loaded using a robotically working swivelling arm (5) onto an inspection platform (7) and measured, the result being evaluated and visualised using complex electronics (8). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a processing circuit (2, 120) for producing a variable output signal in response to a variable quantity picked up or received at the input. The processing circuit is associated with a stage or with an input sensor (4, 110) supplying a signal with a variable amplification/attenuation factor, and moreover, exhibiting response characteristics which depend particularly on state variables. The processing circuit includes means (Fig. 5, Fig. 6) for suppressing transients which are normally produced by a modification of the amplification/attenuation factor, the transient suppression means operating by modifying the value of the state variables in direct proportion to the modification of the amplification/attenuation factor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a device for the transmission of dictations propose firstly to digitise the speech information of the dictation and to convert and to compress the digital information with the aid of a vocoder device. The conversion and compression can be carried out subsequent to the digitisation at a relatively low speed. Only after complete conversion and compression of the entire dictation is the latter then transmitted via a modem and a digital connection at high speed. On the receiver side, the storage and expansion takes place in the reversed sequence. As a result, telephone connection times can be shortened and the transmission costs can thus be reduced.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the solvent-extraction of  beta -carotene from an aqueous algal biomass suspension, whereby a vegetable oil which is immiscible with water is mixed with an aqueous biomass suspension, the biomass containing the  beta -carotene, to form a mixture of the organic phase and the aqueous suspension, whereby the  beta -carotene is caused to dissolve in the organic phase. This is followed by separation of the organic phase from the aqueous phase by passing the organic phase containing the dissolved beta -carotene through a semi-permeable membrane to effect microfiltration or ultrafiltration of the organic phase. The membrane is of a material which is hydrophobic and the organic phase is passed through the membrane with a pressure drop across the membrane which is lower than that which causes the aqueous phase to pass through the membrane.

Date Jul. 7, 1994A magnetoresistive sensor may include a layer system having at least one measuring layer exhibiting a magnetization in the plane of the layer. The magnetization depends inversely in at least one direction of an applied magnetic field. The layer system also includes at least one bias layer having a fixed magnetization in the plane of the layer. The at least one measuring layer and the at least one bias layer are exchange-decoupled from one another by an interlayer. In order to achieve magnetostatic decoupling of the measuring layer and the bias layer, the measuring layer is shorter than the bias layer at least in a direction parallel to the fixed magnetization. The ground state magnetization of the measuring layer and the magnetization of the bias layer are preferably at least approximately orthogonal to each other. In this manner, a magnetoresistive sensor is obtained which has a linear characteristic and maximum sensitivity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for compacting a material sample, such as soil or paving material, including a mold for receiving the material sample and a ram mounted for movement into a first open end of the mold to provide an axial compressire force thereto. The compacting apparatus also includes a base for supporting a second end of the mold. In operation, the mold is gyrated simultaneously with the application of the axial compressire force by the ram. Gyration is provided by tilting the mold from an initial neutral position in which the center longitudinal axis of the mold is collinear with the axis of compression to a tilted operative position in which the central longitudinal axis of the mold is angularly offset from the axis of compression. The base is thereinafter rotated relative to the mold so as to revolve the center of the second end of the mold about the axis of compression, thus, gyrating the axially compressed material sample. Such simultaneous gyration and axial compression simulates the rolling of a vehicle tire or other compaction device over a material surface.

Abstract: Les agencements de pistons conçus et réalisés dans le passé ayant un axe de piston boulonné à la bielle avaient trop de composants structuraux nécessitant des procédures et des outils d'usinage trop complexes. En plus les profils des charges et du boulonnage permettaient à l'axe du piston d'effectuer des mouvements de flexion par rapport à l'axe central de l'agencement de piston, en provoquant finalement la défaillance de l'agencement. La présente invention surmonte ces problèmes en proposant un agencement de piston (10) utilisant un axe de piston bifurqué (36) et un piston (14) ayant une paire de pattes externes (24) et une patte centrale (26). Les pattes externes (24) et la patte centrale (26) sont en contact avec l'axe de piston (44) en trois positions, ce qui permet de répartir les forces sur l'axe de piston (44) d'une manière uniforme. Un moyen de connexion (54) connecte d'une manière centrale l'agencement de piston (10) en raccourcissant la longueur totale de l'agencement de piston (10). Ceci permet de simplifier les opérations de forgeage ou de moulage du piston (14). Ce dernier est en outre plus facile à usiner, il est plus fiable et sa capacité à supporter les charges est améliorée.
