Abstract: A clutch device for a vehicle, including a spring device ( 4 ), which attempts to force a friction plate ( 3 ) in a first direction for engagement of the clutch, a pneumatic actuator ( 10 ) with a cylinder ( 11 ) and a piston ( 16 ), which divides the cylinder ( 11 ) into a main chamber ( 20 ) and an auxiliary chamber ( 21 ), and a compressed air source ( 31 ), which is arranged via a controllable valve device ( 32,33 ) for communication with the main chamber ( 20 ) for movement of the friction plate ( 3 ) in a second, opposite direction for disengagement of the clutch. The clutch device includes a computer ( 50 ) with a memory ( 54 ), wherein there is stored a desired auxiliary force exerted against the release bearing ( 19 ) as a second function (C 2 ) of the release bearing's ( 19 ) position. The clutch device further includes a sensor ( 22 ), which is arranged to establish the release bearing's position, and a sensor ( 23 ), which is arranged to establish the pressure of the air in the auxiliary chamber. A valve device ( 36 ) can connect the compressed air source ( 31 ) with the auxiliary chamber ( 21 ), and the computer ( 50 ) can receive signals from the sensors ( 22,23 ), establish any difference between the measured auxiliary chamber pressure and the desired auxiliary chamber pressure and control the controllable valve device and the valve device ( 32,33,36 ) in accordance with the difference and thereby provide the auxiliary force.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting middles comprises a mainly linear conveyor with conveyor elements (15) for seizing and holding a middle by the spinal column (11) and moving it in the lengthways direction of the spinal column. The middle is moved while being held with the split surface of the spinal column in contact with mainly horizontal surfaces (6) on the conveyor elements (15) and the inner side (20) of the spinal column in contact with oblique surfaces (8) on the elements, and with the spinal column pressed into the wedge-shaped openings which the horizontal surfaces (6) and the oblique surfaces (8) form together. The apparatus has a cutting device (32) for cutting the middle in mainly the lengthways direction of the spinal column during the transport of the middle past the device. The apparatus has a measurement system (21, 29) located upstream of the cutting device (32) which system is designed to measure horizontal positions on the inner surface (20) of the middle a pre-determined distance below the horizontal surfaces (6) of the conveyor elements (14) while the middle is conveyed past the measuring system. It also comprises a calculation unit designed to convert measurement data from this system into control signals and drive means arranged to adjust the positions of the cutting device (32) as a function of the control signals in a plane perpendicular to the transport direction of the middle during transport of the middle past the device. The apparatus detects how much the spinal column has been overcut or undercut during splitting, i.e. it calculates by how much the spinal column is too high or too low in the apparatus compared to the correct cutting position. By means of this information the height of the cutting device can be automatically adjusted to permit a correct cut to be made in the middle.

Abstract: The invention relates to wavelength-selective and tunable optical filters for transmitting the light in a narrow optical spectral band, centered around an adjustable wavelength, and for blocking the transmission of wavelengths lying outside of this band. In a micromachined monolithic structure containing the optical filter proper, the component comprises a low-absorption light detection element used for slaving the tuning control of the filter to a wavelength received by the filter, this element transmitting the majority of the radiation at this wavelength. The filter is a Fabry-Pérot interferometric filter, the cavity (C) of which is tuned to a value that maximizes the power detected by the light detection element. The filter is preferably based on layers of indium phosphide and air gaps. The detection element preferably comprises a layer of gallium-indium arsenide 74 suitable for detection of the intended wavelength band.

Abstract: Method and apparatus in which a first liquid is extruded through a porous plate to a first surface, a second liquid is externally applied over the first liquid on the first surface. The second liquid is subsequently removed from the first surface. In some embodiments, the first liquid is a release agent, the second liquid is a printing agent, and a sheet material is contacted with the printing agent on the printing surface, whereby the release agent prevents the adhesion of the printing agent and the sheet material to the printing surface and thereby allows the sheet material to be easily separated from the printing surface. In some embodiments, the printing agent is an adhesive and the release agent prevents the adhesive from strongly adhering to or accumulating on the printing surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a silicon wave-guide ( 3 ), with a silicon oxide cladding ( 2, 4 ) on a silicon substrate ( 1 ). At predetermined positions along the length of the wave-guide, are created metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) structures. A poly-silicon, or any other conductive layer ( 5 ), is deposited and patterned above the upper cladding ( 4 ) and electrical contacts are made to the substrate ( 1 ), the silicon wave-guide ( 3 ), and the poly-silicon layer ( 5 ). Upon the application of a potential difference between at least two of the layers from the group comprising the substrate ( 1 ), the silicon wave-guide ( 3 ), and the poly-silicon layer ( 5 ), the free carrier concentration at the top and/or bottom layer of the silicon wave-guide ( 3 ) is changed by the electric field. The change in the electric field results in a change in the index of refraction, and the change in the index of refraction causes a change in the optical mode propagating in the wave-guide ( 3 ). The propagation is controlled by controlling the changes in the electric field, which can be enhanced by localized changes in the optical properties of the wave-guide ( 3 ) induced by ion implantation ( 6 ) or trapping of photo-carriers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing wear leveling in a non-volatile memory system are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for processing elements included in a non-volatile memory of a memory system includes obtaining erase counts associated with a plurality of erased elements. Each element included in the plurality of elements has an associated erase count that indicates a number of times the element has been erased. The method also includes grouping a number of erased elements included in the plurality of elements into a first set, and storing the erase counts associated with the first set in a memory component of the memory system. Grouping the number of elements into the first set typically includes selecting erased elements included in the plurality of elements which have the highest associated erase counts of the erase counts associated with the plurality of elements.
