IPC: F42B1/028
Filed: 1990-12-07
Abstract: The invention concerns an explosive charge generating cores and/or blasts, comprising n covers, n being a number between 2 and 5, and an explosive charge 3 initiated by a fuse device 1. For example, two covers 4, 5 are placed adjacent to each other and at a small distance from each other exhibiting an equal shock impedance or one which decreases from the inside, on the explosive charge side, towards the outside, on the free surface side. The covers are in the shape of caps with conical surfaces whose convexity is directed towards the explosive charge 3. The maximum distance separating the two covers is between about 0.1 mm and 0.11 times the calibre of the charge and decreases from the edges towards the centre of the covers. The average thickness of the covers expressed in charge calibres is between 0.01/n and 0.15/n, n being the number of covers. Application to attacking armoured vehicles through the roof. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The brake device contains at least two independent brake systems (35, 42, 42a and 38), each of which comprises a number of mechanical brake units suitable for reliable stopping of the vehicle and a servo unit (34, 41, 41a or 37) with actuators controllable according to a predetermined circuit logic. The servo unit (34) of a first brake system (35) is connected via an electronic control unit (50), programmable according to this circuit logic, to a first switching device (52, 52a), whilst the servo unit (37) of the second brake system (38) is connected via a relay control to a second switching device (56, 56a). The servo units (41, 41a) of a third brake system (42, 42a) can likewise be connected to the control unit (50). Owing to the differing actuation of the brake systems (35, 42, 42a and 38), their functional separation is improved, thereby increasing the operating reliability of the brake device, particularly in the case of gear operation. <IMAGE>

IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 1990-10-01
Abstract: An improved planarity when forming contact plugs by a blanket CVD deposition of a metallic matrix layer (1) followed by etchback is achieved by performing a first etchback step to expose the surface of the material underlying the filling metallic layer (e.g. of W) of the matrix layer (1), masking the top of the metal plugs with resist caps (5) by exposing a resist layer through an additional mask derived by field inversion and enlargement from the actual CONTACT mask used for defining the contact areas and finally conducting an overetch of the filling metallic material for eliminating residues along discontinuities from planarity of the surface while protecting the top of the plugs from the overetch. The masked overetch is preferably conducted under conditions of reduced anisotropy and increased selectivity in respect to the first etchback step.

Abstract: An electrotherapeutic device for passing a DC electric current through a living organism by applying a voltage to the living organism is disclosed. A device is provided with a battery with an internal resistance of high impedance of a degree that the changes in the resistance value of the living organism can be disregarded. By doing so, no excessive flow of current is produced even if the resistance of the living organism fluctuates. The device is safe, easy to handle, and inexpensive. It is particularly suited for use with iontophoresis; a technology by which drugs are administered by means of the passage of electricity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for simulating a desired response in accordance with an external applied force (F in ). The apparatus includes a member (30b) which is responsive to the applied force, an actuator (20) coupled to the member for exerting a torque on the member, a force sensor (32) for detecting the applied force (F in ), and a torque sensor (22) for detecting the troque exerted by the actuator (20). Signals from the force sensor are used to determine the system response based upon a desired relation. The force sensor signals also are used to determine the actual system response based upon the physical characteristics of the apparatus. The detected torque is compared with the desired and the actual system response, and as a result of the comparison the torque exerted by the actuator onto the member is adjusted accordingly so that the member performs the desired system response. The actuator (20) is preferably an electric motor so that the apparatus can simulate any desired response, notwithstanding the physical characteristics of the system.

Abstract: An oil cooler (4) has a by-pass line (8) to the oil cooler tubes (6), the said line maintaining the oil circuit when the cooler grid is still cold but the oil has already heated up and, by transferring heat, breaks up blockages in the oil cooler conduits. In an advantageous combination of functions, this by-pass line (8) simultaneously assumes the function of a conventional thermostat-controlled short-circuit line. A simple restrictor (9) in the by-pass line, which is matched to the cross-section of flow of the oil cooler tubes (6), guarantees that a desired oil flow is established under all operating conditions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A touch trigger probe for a coordinate measuring machine or machine tool has a stylus (14), which is biased into a rest position. The stylus has two independent supports, provided within a housing (10). In the embodiment of Fig 1, the first support comprises a skirt (18) of a stylus holder (12), which is axially constrained on a surface (20) of the housing (10). The second support comprises a kinematic arrangement of cylinders (34) and balls (36), together with a planar spring (30), which together provide lateral constraint. The first support is biased by a much lighter force than the second support, so that its friction is very low. This reduces the lobing and hysteresis of the stylus movement, and thereby increases the accuracy of the probe.
