Inventor: MENJAK RATKO
IPC: B62D5/00
Filed: 2003-01-17
Abstract: A steering shaft supported by bearings has an end suitable for
attaching a hand wheel (12) thereto. A position sensor detects the angular
displacement of the steering shaft from a central position and produces a signal
indicative of such angular displacement. An electric motor (40, 185) and a
transmission (45) apply torque to the steering shaft to provide force-feedback to
a user. A variable stopper (70) is configured to stop rotation of the steering
shaft at an arbitrary location.

Abstract: A thin film magnetic recording head (46) is provided with a tape bearing surface that has
magnetically isolated channels while still providing a maximum continuous surface area with
which to engage the media. This can be accomplished by providing spaces (50,455,460) in the magnetically
permeable thin film (34,450) that are large enough to prevent cross-talk between the channels, but small
enough to prevent significant interference with the moving media. Alternatively, magnetically
impermeable thin film spacers (50,455,460) can be provided to magnetically isolate each of the channels. The
spacers are generally even with the magnetically permeable thin film so as to provide a
continuous media-bearing surface.

Abstract: In an NTSC imaging apparatus, the shutter speed is set to a first value other than N/120 second, and a flicker detecting process is performed on a video signal obtained at the first shutter speed to extract a particular frequency component. If the level of this frequency component is higher than a threshold value, it is determined that photographing is conducted under fluorescent light with a power supply frequency of 50 Hz. If it is not higher than the threshold value, the shutter speed is set to a second value other than N/100 second, and a flicker detecting process is performed on a video signal obtained at the second shutter speed to extract a particular frequency component. If the level of this frequency component is higher than a threshold value, it is determined that photographing is conducted under fluorescent light with a power supply frequency of 60 Hz.

Abstract: Embodiments of a gas diffuser plate for distributing gas in a processing chamber are provided. The gas distribution plate includes a diffuser plate having an upstream side and a downstream side, and a plurality of gas passages passing between the upstream and downstream sides of the diffuser plate. The gas passages include hollow cathode cavities at the downstream side to enhance plasma ionization. The depths, the diameters, the surface area and density of hollow cathode cavities of the gas passages that extend to the downstream end can be gradually increased from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate to improve the film thickness and property uniformity across the substrate. The increasing diameters, depths and surface areas from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate can be created by bending the diffuser plate toward downstream side, followed by machining out the convex downstream side. Bending the diffuser plate can be accomplished by a thermal process or a vacuum process. The increasing diameters, depths and surface areas from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate can also be created computer numerically controlled machining. Diffuser plates with gradually increasing diameters, depths and surface areas of the hollow cathode cavities from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate have been shown to produce improved uniformities of film thickness and film properties.
