Patent EP-0581458-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROPER RALPH E
IPC: B21D26/02
Filed: 1993-07-06
Abstract: A self-containted apparatus for forming metal sheet is adapted for operation within a standard double action press having a base and outer and inner vertically reciprocating slides (11, 13) and includes a basic die mountable to the press and specific tooling replaceably mountable to the basic die. The basic die includes a riser (18) mountable to the outer slide (11), a manifold (20) mounted atop the base of a tube, and hydraulic cylinder assembles (24, 26, 32, 33) mounted atop the base (28) and in connection with the manifold and mechanically actuatable by the inner slide for providing pressurized fluid to the specific tooling. The specific tooling includes mating upper and lower dies (12, 14) connected to the riser and manifold, respectively, and movable between open and closed positions. A sheet metal blank positioned upon the lower die is wrapped around the upper die as the upper die is moved down to a closed position by the outer slide, the blank being clamped between the upper and lower dies whereby the periphery of the blank is gripped between a male and female bead (120, 110) mounted all around a part print cavity in the upper and loer dies, respectively. The outer slide then dwells while the inner slide moves down, engaging and actuating the cylinder assemblies, causing hydraulic fluid to be forced into a region between the clamped blank and the lower die, the blank being formed into the part print cavity defined in the upper die. The male bead (120) exerts varying control on the sheet to allow it to stretch across portions of the cavity while flowing into other portions of the cavity. A locking mechanism (100) prevents the bending of the dies and holds the dies in a closed position thereby assisting the engagement of the male bead with the female bead. As a safety feature, the mechanism is configured to automatically open when the die cavity is moved up. The locking mechanism allows the use of high pressures to make large parts, such as car hoods, doors, deck lids, and quarter panels in conventional currently available double action presses.

Abstract: A method of, and a control circuit for, determining the exciting voltage to be applied to the nozzle of an ink jet printer to break a stream of ink into droplets for printing includes the steps of slowly increasing the exciting voltage from a minimum value and detecting and recording the value C(H) at which droplet formation first occurs closest to the nozzle. The exciting voltage for printing is estimated by applying electrical test patterns (Figure 6) to the ink droplets such that the patterns will vary in phase relative to droplet timing whereby only some of the test patterns will successfully charge the droplets. After that, those droplets which have been successfully charged are detected and the value C(H) determined from the change in the sequence of detected charge patterns. The exciting voltage for printing is estimated according to the formula        V(est) = C(H) - E          , where E is a voltage related to the performance on the ink.

Abstract: A surgical instrument (10) includes a first member (12) that has an opening (13) in its distal region for admitting tissue and that is rotatable with respect to a base (25) from which the first member extends to allow the rotational orientation of the opening to be selectively changed with respect to the axis of the instrument. A second member (14) is disposed within the first member to transmit force to move a cutting implement (15) disposed at its distal end and cause it to cut tissue that is exposed to the implement through the opening. In one embodiment, a curved, rigid member (16) is disposed coaxially with the first and second members to provide the first member with a bend region (18) that angularly offsets the distal region (and hence the opening) from the axis of the instrument in a selected direction. The first member is relatively flexible, at least in the bend region, to allow the rotational orientation of the opening to be changed without changing the selected direction of the offset. At least a portion of the second member that is disposed in the bend region is also relatively flexible to transmit the applied force through the bend region to the cutting implement.

IPC: H01L21/304
Filed: 1994-03-08
Abstract: Significant reductions in the cost of fabrication of epitaxial semiconductor devices without sacrifice of functional characteristics is achieved by eliminating the conventional but costly polishing procedure, instead subjecting the substrate to grinding, cleaning and etching processes in which the grinding removes material from the surface to a depth of at least 65 microns and the etching further removes material to a depth of about 6-10 microns, the grinding preferably being carried out in two steps, the first being a coarse step and the second being a fine step, with the rotated grinding elements dwelling at their respective last grinding positions for a short period of time. The result is the equivalent of the prior art polishing procedure which took considerably longer to carry out and which therefore was much more costly. Complementing this grinding procedure is an improved and cost effective epitaxial process utilizing a unique two-step hydrochloric gas high temperature etch and a faster growth rate process with shorter cycle steps. In addition, oxygen control and "gettering" capabilities result in a total process improving the economics of formation of epitaxial semiconductor devices.

Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus having a compact and inexpensive backlash mechanism is provided by arranging its structure to easily adjust the backlash of the bevel gear mechanism, and at the same time, to pre-press the bearings (14,15) so that the movement of the shaft (3) in the axial direction can be regulated. The rotational shaft having a small gear (21) coupled thereto which constitutes a bevel gear mechanism on one side is rotatively supported by a housing (1), but disabled to shift in the axial direction. The large gear (13) which constitutes the bevel gear mechanism on the other side is coupled to the output shaft (3) of a steering system so that it can shift in the rotational direction and axial direction together with the shaft (3). The output shaft (3) is rotatively supported by bearings (14,15) with respect to the housing (1) with a movable sleeve (19) which abuts upon the outer ring (14a) of the bearing (14). The movable sleeve (19) can be driven in from the outside by means of an adjustment screw (16) so that the backlash between the small (21) and large gears (13) can be adjusted, while the inner ring (15b) of the bearing (15) can be driven in with respect to the output shaft by means of a lock nut (17) to tighten the bearing which abuts upon the outer ring of the output shaft (3). In this way, the inner rings of the bearings are pressed inwardly themselves, hence removing the play thereof.

Abstract: Procédés et dispositif de détection et de stimulation des battements du c÷ur et de mesure de seuil, servant à calculer des données d'amplitude et de durée d'énergie de stimulation des impulsions de battement auriculaire et ventriculaire (battement A et battement V). Dans un premier régime de contrôle de seuil auriculaire et ventriculaire s'utilisant avec des patients possédant une conduction A-V intacte ou un bloc AV de premier degré, les impulsions de battement A sont produites selon un intervalle d'échappement de contrôle et un retard A-V. La perte de captage des battements auriculaires (ALOC) en réaction à une stimulation de contrôle des battements A est déclarée par l'absence de la détection d'une dépolarisation ventriculaire (phase V) dans la dernière partie de l'intervalle de retard stimulé A-V suivant l'application de la stimulation de contrôle des battements A. Dans le régime de contrôle de seuil ventriculaire, une stimulation de contrôle des battements V s'applique après un retard A-V raccourci. La perte de captage des battements ventriculaires (VLOC) est déclarée par la détection d'une phase V dans la période réfractaire ventriculaire de la stimulation de contrôle des battements V. Dans un deuxième algorithme s'utilisant dans l'oreillette ou le ventricule de patients présentant une mesure régulière du rythme du sinus, des stimulations de contrôle précoces des battements A ou V sont appliquées et la présence d'une phase A ou d'une phase V à la fin de l'intervalle d'échappement mesuré du sinus est déclarée respectivement ALOC ou VLOC. On répète les stimulations de contrôle des battements A et V, afin de confirmer les déclarations de captage des battements à une énergie dépassant l'énergie de contrôle LOC. Les données de seuil de stimulation auriculaire et ventriculaire calculées par variation de l'amplitude (force) et de la largeur (durée) des impulsions sont mémorisées, afin de réaliser une télémesure et une analyse, ainsi que pour régler la largeur et l'amplitude des impulsions normales de battements A et de battements V utilisées entre des contrôles successifs d'auto-captage, afin de conserver l'énergie des piles.
