IPC: G01B5/008
Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: A process and device are disclosed for positioning devices for temporarily fixing a workpiece in any desired angular position in a three-dimensional working space of which the coordinates are known, in particular when the workpiece requires a multidimensional support A computer-controlled machine with a tool movable in the direction of all co-ordinates is used for that purpose, together with a freely movable, vertically adjustable device or supporting column mounted on a base plate and upon which the supporting device for the multidimensional support of the workpiece is positioned. Based on the tool geometry or a C.A.D. programme, a coupling or an appropriately designed measurement head of a measurement machine is fixed on the tool with respect to a calculated plane of reference for the tool and to an axis inclined in relation thereto which cuts the plane of reference. The coupling parts designed as a coupling are then brought to a position at the tool or device which corresponds to the plane of reference, either directly by means of driven coupling parts or after a previous adjustment on an adjustment device placed on the base plate. The tool or measurement head is then moved into the precalculated position in space of the support of the workpiece and a supporting column with a corresponding supporting device is aligned with the position of the tool. The disclosed process steps and the positioning systems used to implement the process enable a three-dimensional supporting surface to be provided within a few minutes for a workpiece to be measured or machined, with an accuracy of more than 0.1 mm.

Abstract: Capture detection and stimulation threshold-measurement
methods and apparatus for deriving atrial
and ventricular pace pulse (A-pace and V-pace)
stimulation energy strength-duration data. In a first
atrial and ventricular threshold test regimen for use
with patients having intact A-V conduction of first
degree AV block, A-pace pulses are delivered at a test
escape interval and A-V delay. Atrial loss of capture
(ALOC) in response to an A-pace test stimulus is
declared by the absence of a detected ventricular
depolarization (V-event) in the latter portion of the
paced A-V delay interval following the delivery of the
A-pace test stimulus. In the ventricular threshold test
regimen, a V-pace test stimulus is delivered after a
shortened A-V delay. Ventricular loss of capture (VLOC)
is declared by the detection of a V-event in the
ventricular refractory period of the V-pace test
stimulus. In a second algorithm for use in the atrium
or ventricle in patients having regular measured sinus
rhythm, premature A-pace or V-pace test stimuli are
delivered, and the presence of an A-event or V-event at
the end of the measured sinus escape interval is
declared to be ALOC or VLOC, respectively. A-pace and
V-pace test stimuli are repeated to confirm capture
declarations at an energy exceeding the LOC test energy.
The atrial and ventricular stimulation threshold data
derived by varying both pulse amplitude (strength) and
width (duration) is stored in memory for telemetry out
and analysis and for use in setting the V-pace and A-pace
normal pulse width and amplitude used between
successive auto-capture tests in order to conserve
battery energy.

Abstract: Novel algorithms for computing the responses of circuits to multi-tone
excitations. The new algorithms are efficient and robust for large, strongly nonlinear
circuits excited by multi-tone (quasi-periodic or envelope-modulated) signals. Hence
they are particularly useful for integrated RF applications. The multivariate
representation captures features produced by strong nonlinearities (such as spikes or
pulses) much more compactly than traditional frequency- or time-domain
representations. The new algorithms compute these functions efficiently by solving a
partial differential equation (PDE) in the time or mixed frequency-time domains.
Frequency-domain spectra or time-domain waveforms are generated from the
multivariate functions as cheap post-processing steps. Two methods, multivariate FDTD
and hierarchical shooting, are purely time-domain techniques suitable for the general
strongly nonlinear circuit problem. They differ in their memory and computation needs.
A new mixed frequency-time method is more efficient for circuits that are moderately
(but not strongly) nonlinear in one or more tones (e.g, switching mixers, switched-capacitor
filters). The linear systems at the core of all three techniques are especially well
suited for iterative solution. This is exploited in the methods to achieve linear growth of
computation and memory with respect to circuit size. The mixed frequency-time method
of this work avoids the ill-conditioning problem by computing with the slow harmonic
components directly, rather than with time-domain samples at sets of points close to each
other.

Abstract: An optical pickup compatible with a plurality of
optical recording media each using light of a different
wavelength. The optical pickup includes at least one
light source (41), an objective lens (20, 20') having a
function of focusing light emitted from the light source
(41) into the optimal light spot on an information
recording surface of one of the plurality of the optical
recording media (30), and a light detector (43) to detect
light transmitted through the objective lens (20, 20')
after being reflected from the information recording
surface of the optical recording medium (30) on which the
light spot is formed. The objective lens (20, 20') has an
inner area, an annular lens area and an outer area such
that the annular lens area divides the inner area from the
outer area and has a ring shape centered at a vertex. The
inner area, the annular lens area and the outer area have
aspherical surface shapes to focus light transmitted
through the inner area and the outer area into a single
light spot by which information can be read from the
information recording surface of a relatively thin first
optical recording medium (30A) and scatter light
transmitted through the annular lens area located between
the inner area and the outer area so that information
cannot be read from the information recording surface of
the first optical recording medium (30A), during
reproduction of the first optical recording medium. The
inner area and the annular lens area transmit light into
a single light spot by which information can be read from
the information recording surface of a relatively thick
second optical recording medium (30B) and scatters light
transmitted through the outer lens area so that
information cannot be read from the information recording
surface of the second optical recording medium (30B),
