Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal device showing improved uniform alignment characteristic and switching characteristic is constituted by a pair of an upper substrate and a lower substrate, and a chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed between the upper and lower substrates. Each of the upper and lower substrates has thereon an electrode for applying a voltage to the liquid crystal and a uniaxial alignment film. The alignment films on the upper and lower substrates are provided with uniaxial alignment axes which cross each other so that the direction of crossing of the uniaxial alignment axes from the lower substrate to the upper substrate is identical to the direction of helical twist in cholesteric phase of the chiral smectic liquid crystal, and the chiral smectic liquid crystal is disposed in such an alignment state that the liquid crystal shows a pretilt angle a, a cone angle H pi  beta  , an inclination angle w of SmC* layer, and an apparent tilt angle ra satisfying relationships of; H pi  beta < a + w and H pi  beta  > ra > H pi  beta /2. The crossing direction may preferably have a polarity (taken as "positive" in clockwise direction and "negative" in anticlockwise direction) which is the same as the polarity of the spontaneous polarization of the liquid crystal. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for calibrating a rotary table (10) includes an indexing table (20) (which is a Hirth coupling table) and an angular interferometer (100), together with a control (200). The indexing table is mechanically coupled to the rotary table (this being the only connection between the rotary table to be calibrated and the calibration system), and the interferometer is set up to measure rotation of the indexing table. During rotation of the rotary table (10) to a target angle, the control (200) monitors the interferometer reading, and when this reading exceeds a predetermined threshold, actuates a drive motor (240) of the table (20) to counter rotate the table, thereby to maintain the optics (106) of the interferometer in alignment with the laser beams (L2, L3) and thus enable continuous measurement of the position of the indexing table.

Abstract: Valve gated injection molding apparatus for coinjecting and/or sequentially injecting two different fluids through a gate (20) into a cavity (22). An elongated valve pin member (64) is received in an elongated valve sleeve member (56) in alignment with the gate (20) and both are reciprocated rotatably as well as axially by separate actuating mechanisms to control the flow of the fluids through the gate. Each actuating mechanism has a piston driven rack member (96,118) to provide rotary motion which is then converted to axial movement of the corresponding valve member (56,64) between the retracted open and forward closed positions. In one embodiment, helical threads (104,126) on the valve members engage fixed teeth extending inwardly from the surrounding nozzle to convert the rotary motion of each valve member to corresponding axial movement. Linear position transducers on the rack members provide for accurate control of the valve members. This accurate control and the reduction in force required by these rotary axial actuating mechanisms minimizes wear resulting from repeated seating of the valve members. <IMAGE>

Date Feb. 17, 1994.A method of analyzing astigmatism is disclosed which enables surgeons to ascertain what surgery may be required subsequent to initial surgery to achieve the preoperative aim of the initial surgery. The method includes determining a preoperative astigmatism, defining an aimed astigmatism and determining an achieved astigmatism following initial surgery. The astigmatism values are initially determined in a zero to 180 degree range and are doubled to convert them to a 360 degree range. An aimed induced astigmatism vector, a surgically induced astigmatism vector and a difference vector are calculated. Magnitudes and angles of the vectors can be calculated to provide astigmatism magnitude values and angle values for modifying parameters of future surgery for improved performance of future surgery and for statistical analysis. The method also provides a rationale for determining a treatment parameter when spectacle and corneal astigmatism do not coincide.

Abstract: Un circuit de puissance permet de bloquer ou débloquer un dispositif de bloquer ou débloquer un dispositif de commutation à semi-conducteur lors de la réception d'un signal de commande. Il comporte un circuit de déclenchement (Q2) qui débloque un commutateur à verrouillage (SCR1) à une vitesse indépendante de la fréquence de changement propre au signal de commande. Le circuit de déclenchement (Q2) réagit au signal de commande en appliquant un courant venant du dispositif de commutation à semi-conducteur au commutateur à verrouillage (SCR1). On peut utiliser en guise de commutateur à verrouillage un thyristor à haute vitesse qui peut être déclenché par un courant de déclenchement réduit provenant de la porte du dispositif de commutation à semi-conducteur et dirigé vers les portes d'anode et de cathode du thyristor. On peut aussi utiliser des diodes à haute vitesse pour accroître la vitesse du circuit. Le circuit de puissance améliore l'efficacité du dispositif de commutation à semi-conducteur en diminuant le temps mis par ce dernier pour passer d'un régime permanent à l'autre.

Abstract: A carbonator having a cooling system which is controlled by a controller responsive to input signals generated by an ambient temperature sensor, an ice thickness sensor and a water level sensor. After an initial ice build up following first turn-on of the system and depending on the ambient temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, the cooling system will turn on for a predetermined ON period followed by a predetermined OFF period. These ON and OFF periods are variable as a function of ambient temperature as sensed by the temperature sensor and will recycle in absence of any carbonated water removed. If, however, water removal takes place, the OFF period is interrupted and system turn-on will occur the next time a signal from the ice sensor is received and the ON and OFF cycle as determined by the system controller will resume unless it is again interrupted by another water removal signal from the water level sensor.
