Patent EP-0457006-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WITTE HORST
IPC: B23Q15/22
Filed: 1991-03-28
Abstract: The device for transferring workpieces having a base from a setting-up place to the measuring table of a measuring machine is characterised by a movable, table-shaped frame (1) with a work plate (2) which can be adjusted in inclination and height. The work plate (2) rests on supports (7) which can be moved up and down separately from one another by stepping motors (4). The position and the inclination of the work plate is sensed by abutments (3) with sensors or proximity switches. In this way, it is possible to adapt the vertical position and the inclination of the work plate to those of the setting-up plate and in particular of the measuring table. The very sensitive transfer of the workpieces having a base (for example an air-bearing plate) is possible without the risk of damage and in accurate alignment of the planes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A distributed computer system includes means for minimizing the grant of pages locks and the number of outstanding locks while ensuring consistency of the copies of pages resident in a first and second data caches with the original pages in shared external storage. A first processor requesting a lock on a designated page is granted a lock over the group of pages including the designated page in the absence of a concurrent lock to the page or group held by another processor. Any changed page is copied through to external storage. Otherwise, a processor intending to alter a page causes a global lock manager to notify concurrent lock holders, invalidate copies of the page in their local caches, and obtain an exclusive lock to the requesting process for the duration of its operation on the page. After this the lock is demoted to share and the changed page also copied through to external storage.

Abstract: A method of making an ocular device includes the step of mixing monomers with a photoinitiator and a thermal initiator to make a molding material. The molding material is placed into a lens mold cavity in sufficient quantity to enable a portion of the material to be also located in a reservoir chamber adjacent the cavity. Photopolymerization of material located in the chamber is inhibited while a source of radiation is activated, so that material may flow between the chamber and the cavity as may be needed to provide proper amounts of material in the cavity during curing. The mold assembly (10) is subjected to heat in order to thermally polymerize material in the chamber before the assembly is opened to gain access to the molded device.

Abstract: A height adjustable device (D) for suspending a planter (P) comprises a locking member (14) mounted above the planter, a handle member (10) and a cable (12) attached at a first end thereof to the planter. The cable (12) passes through the locking member (14) and is wound around a reel (36) biasedly mounted in the handle member (10) with a second end of the cable being attached to the reel. The cable (12) is partly wound around the reel (36). A disengageable brake (54) is provided for the reel (36). The locking member (14) comprises a pair of fixed wheels (70,72) which guide the cable (12) therethrough. The locking member (14) further comprises a locking arm (76) pivotally mounted therein and comprising a series of teeth (78). The locking arm (76) is biased towards a first one (72) of the wheels, whereby the cable (12) can be secured between the locking arm (76) and the first wheel (72). Tension provided in the cable (12) by the handle member (10) forces the locking arm (76) away from the cable thereby releasing the same and allowing free movement thereof through the locking member (14) and thus permitting the planter (P) to be raised and lowered. To secure the cable (12) between the teeth (78) of the locking arm (76) and the first wheel (72), a sudden slack is provided in the cable (12) using the handle member (10) in order to reduce the forces exerted by the cable (12) on the locking arm (76) in such a way that the locking arm is urged towards the wheel (72) to imprison the cable (12) therebetween. The disengageable brake (54) allows the handle member (10) to be positioned at various distances from the locking member (14) by counterbalancing the forces of the biased reel (36) provided in the handle member (10).

Abstract: A record carrier (21;70) is disclosed on which an information volume (VOL1) is recorded in sectors of a track (10) of the record carrier. The positions of the sectors in the track are denoted by a logic sector number LSN. The information volume (VOL1) comprises control information (PT;DF) intended to be used for controlling the search for information in the recorded information volume (VOL1). This control information (PT;DF) is arranged according to a predetermined format. A reference (VD1) to this control information is accommodated in sectors (VD1) in a predetermined address range (LSN=16 to LSN=SZ). Contiguous to the first information volume (VOL1) at least a next information volume (VOL2) is recorded in the track (10). Each next information volume (VOL2) comprises substitute reference information intended to be used for controlling the search for information both in the relevant information volume (VOL2) and in previously recorded information volumes (VOL1). The substitute reference information is accommodated in sectors (VD2) in a recoverable substitute address range (LSN=offs+16 to LSN=offs+SZ). The substitute address range is preferably equal to the corresponding address range in the first recorded information volume. 
     In the reading apparatus (Fig. 8) a request for access to sectors in the address range (VD1) in the first information volume (VOL1) is transformed into a request for access to sectors (VD2) in the substitute address range of the last-recorded information volume (VOL2).

Abstract: A resonator assembly (10) particularly suited for a diode pumped solid state laser includes a glass planar support plate (20). At least two transparent mirror mounts (26,28) are bonded to the plate (20) using a UV curable adhesive. The resonator mirrors (22,24) are in turn bonded to the mounts (24,28) using a similar adhesive. The structure is easy to align and assemble and is low in cost. In addition, the assembly can be formed from materials having a low coefficient of thermal expansion so that the thermal stability is enhanced. Further, the transparent mirror mounts (26,28) provide enhanced stability while allowing transmission of laser radiation. A block (40) of a gain medium such as Nd:YAG, may be mounted in a Faraday effect magnet (48) bonded to the plate (20) and the frequency change of the gain medium with temperature be such that the variation of the resonant frequency of the resonator (20,24,40) with temperature maintains stability of operation. A pump beam (74) from a pump diode (70) can be directed through a mirror mount (26) into the resonator (22,24,40).

Abstract: A low-power crystal oscillator circuit is disclosed that includes an amplifier section having a switchable compensation network. In one embodiment, the oscillator circuit incorporates inverter amplifiers to generate a square-wave output signal that can be used, for example, as a clock signal to drive microprocessors and other digital circuitry. The invention takes advantage of the observation that, if the uncompensated bandwidth is not too excessive, compensation is only needed at start-up to ensure oscillation at the desired crystal frequency. Once the desired oscillation is attained, most of the oscillation cycle occurs during the non-linear regions of the amplifier. These non-linear regions are characterized by low gain, thus suppressing any spurious oscillation. The compensation network is removed after start-up to reduce power consumption.

Abstract: The invention provides an aluminum-base composite material. The aluminum-base material contains a uniform distribution of carbide particles and lubricating phase particles such as carbon or graphite. The carbide particles increase hardness for improved wear resistance. The lubricating phase particles provide improved wear resistance and especially improve unlubricated wear resistance under increased loads. Finally, a dispersoid of nickel aluminide intermetallic phase may also be used to provide additional hardness and wear resistance. The composite is formed by introducing carbide particles and lubricating phase such as graphite into a molten aluminium alloy to neutralize buoyancy and to form an aluminum-base mixture. Mixing the aluminum-base mixture to uniformly distribute carbide and carbon particles throughout the molten aluminium. Carbide and carbon particles counteract each other to remain uniformly distributed throughout the aluminum-base alloy despite prolonged holding or cooling times.
