Patent EP-0754931-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KOKUBO MASAHIKO
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 1996-07-16
Abstract: A film thickness measuring apparatus measures the thickness of a thin film which is formed on a substrate with an excellent reproducibility regardless of inclination of a surface of a sample. Since an illumination system (20) includes a glass rod (GL) which corrects wavelength dependencies of luminance distributions of light sources (HL, DL), even when an eclipse in reflected light due to inclination of a sample (SP) decreases the energy of the reflected light, a spectral distribution of the reflected light entering a spectroscopic unit (40) is maintained with almost no change. A control unit (50) performs data conversion of multiplying an actual spectral reflectance by a ratio of an average of the actual spectral reflectance which is determined based on an output from the spectroscopic unit (40) to an average of a calibrated spectral reflectance and thereafter calculates a deviation between the two spectral reflectances. As a result, the film thickness is accurately measured while preventing an influence of inclination of the sample (SP). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The driving circuit has a switching arrangement (5 to 20) controlled by a input signal (2) in such a way, that an LED (1) is short circuited during a first switch state. In a second switch state the LED is supplied by a current source circuit in such a manner, that a large current flows initially through the diode, which is reduced to a smaller value after a predetermined time. A first transistor is pref. connected in series to the diode, with a control terminal, connected to ground via a current limiting element, such as a resistor (7), and connected to a positive supply via a second transistor (6). The control input of the second transistor is connected to a reference voltage via a resistor (8), and to ground via a controlled current source (9). A third transistor is connected between the control input of the second transistor and ground, and its control input is connected to control input of the first transistor. The controlled current source provides a maximum current during a first state in which the diode is switched off, and a lower current, which is further reduced after a certain time, during a second state, in which the diode is on.

Abstract: Arcing faults in an ac current are detected by apparatus (45, 61, 191) which is responsive to a predetermined randomness in step increases in the current to eliminate false tripping caused by regularly occurring discontinuities produced by loads such as dimmers. A signal conditioner (49, 69) generates a bandwidth limited di/dt signal having pulses produced by the step increases in current. In one embodiment, a first tracking circuit (53) tracks the envelope of the di/dt signal with a first time constant. A second tracking circuit (51) also tracks the di/dt envelope, but with a second, shorter time constant. An arcing fault is indicated if the second tracking signal falls to a predetermined fraction of the fist tracking signal. This circuit may be used alone to detect arcing faults or to increase the sensitivity to arcing faults over dimmers of a circuit (61) which responds to a time attenuated integrated valve of the pulses in the di/dt signal. In another embodiment (191), the di/dt envelope signal is subtracted from the magnitude of the pulses before they are applied to the time attenuated integrator (111), but with the subtraction time delayed to preclude attenuation of the first pulse.
