Title: Rotation detecting apparatus
Inventor: OTA ATSUO
IPC: G01B7/30
Filed: 2003-08-11
Abstract: Sensors for motor and a reference position sensor are integrated in a sensor magnet for detection.      An annular sensor magnet is formed with a magnetized zone M1 corresponding to sensors 11U, 11V, and 11W for motor and with a magnetized zone M2 corresponding to a reference position sensor 12. The individual magnetized portions of the magnetized zone M2 are shifted as a whole in a leftward direction by a distance D from the magnetized zone M1. However, the direction of shifting has been partly reversed. Specifically, the magnetized portion 23 of the magnetized zone M2 is shifted in the right direction so that the magnetized portions 24 and 25 are narrowed accordingly. In this magnetized structure, the level of an output of the reference position sensor 12 is determined by generating triggers E1 to E6 on the rising edges of the sensor 11W for motor. Since the level is determined to be LOW only at one position, the output of the reference position sensor is fetched based on the determination.

Title: Lithographic imaging with constructions having mixed organic/inorganic layers
Inventor: LEWIS THOMAS E
IPC: B41N1/12
Filed: 1999-03-17
Abstract: The effects of interfacial transition between organic and inorganic layers of a lithographic printing member are ameliorated by incorporating an inorganic component within the matrix of the organic layer. In a first aspect, a lithographic printing plate having adjacent organic and inorganic layers is fabricated by depositing a curable polymer, softening the polymer, and integrating an inorganic material therewith. The polymer is then cured to immobilize the integrated deposition material, and the desired inorganic layer is applied over the deposited inorganic material (and any exposed portions of the polymer). In a second aspect, a graded structure is built up on a substrate in successive deposition steps. Both polymer precursors and an inorganic filler material are deposited in stages, with each stage containing a desired ratio of polymer to filler.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un procédé permettant de déterminer l'ampleur de la détonation d'un perforateur de puits. Le perforateur (140) est placé dans un forage (170), et la détonation est déclenchée en un point situé sur le réseau essentiellement courbe de charges explosives (890). Des ondes sismiques sont générées par la série d'explosions, se propagent en s'éloignant du perforateur, et sont détectées à une certaine distance du perforateur au moyen de récepteurs sismiques consistant en des transducteurs de conception classique, individuels ou en réseau. Les récepteurs sismiques (100) peuvent être placés à la surface de la terre ou à proximité de celle-ci, et/ou dans un ou plusieurs forages. Les ondes sismiques enregistrées sont traitées et analysées, et peuvent être décomposées par le biais d'un nouveau procédé d'inversion. On analyse ensuite les résultats combinés afin de déterminer l'ampleur de la détonation, notamment si le perforateur a explosé ou non et s'il y a eu un raté ou un raté partiel, ainsi que l'ampleur quantitative de la détonation.
