Abstract: An apparatus for automatically assessing the quality of a printed circuit board assembly using digitized video image analysis. The apparatus integrates with existing relatively low precision automated surface mount technology ("SMT") manufacturing systems as an inspection station insertable at various steps in the assembly process or as a separate manually loaded station. The inspection station includes a high resolution video imaging system and a video image analyzer comprising an onboard master computer that generates control signals to reposition the camera mounted within a screen on a movable carriage and/or reposition the circuit board, and adjust the lighting; and generates individual board status data to be archived, graphically displayed on monitors or otherwise utilized by a rework station.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des moulages de précision, tels que des étriers de frein et d'autres pièces requérant une finition fine et présentant une géométrie interne complexe, qui peuvent être obtenus en moulant par injection un alliage métallique thixotrope, semi-solide, autour d'un noyau (12), de préférence, un noyau moulé sous pression dans une chambre chaude. La chambre chaude possède un point de fusion inférieur à celui de la température de transition qui permet à l'alliage thixotrope de passer de l'état semi-solide à l'état solide. Une fois que l'injection se solidifie de façon à former un moulage (10) à noyau capturé (12), ledit noyau (12) est fondu à partir du moulage (10) dans un bain liquide, dans un four à gaz ou à air, ou au cours d'un traitement thermique de la pièce. Ce procédé réduit considérablement ou élimine les exigences d'usinage pour les parties métalliques coulées du fait que la surface intérieure du moulage (10) est extrêmement lisse et correspond à des exigences de tolérance rigoureuses et du fait que le noyau (12) complètement fondu peut être formé de saillies qui empêchent l'élimination mécanique du noyau (12) du moulage et forme des contre-dépouille, des filetages et des trous, etc. dans le moulage.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a rolling system
and a rolling method capable of avoiding the occurrence
of a pinch fold by effectively preventing the zigzag
movement of a rear end portion of a material to be rolled.
The rotational speeds (rolling speeds) of work rolls
(2) of a rolling mill stand (F 1 ) from which the rear
end of a plate material (6) releases, and a succeeding
rolling mill stand (F 2 ) are controlled to the same value.
Moreover, the tension between the rolling mill stand
(F 1 ) and the rolling mill stand (F 2 ) is controlled to
zero. The difference in tension between a work side
and a drive side can be made null between the rolling
mill stand (F 1 ) and the rolling mill stand (F 2 ).
Similarly, the difference in tension between the work
side and the drive side can be made null between the
plurality of rolling mill stands (F 2  to F n ) during
release of the rear end of the plate material (6).

Abstract: In a cylinder number-controlled internal combustion engine in which the operation of one or more of cylinders (C 1-4 ) can be stopped, valve operation and stoppage switchover device (40 1-4 ) are provided in the cylinders, respectively and capable of independently switching the operation and stoppage of engine valves in every cylinders. The operation of the valve operation and stoppage switchover device is controlled by a control unit (75), so that the operation and stoppage of the engine valves in all the cylinders are repeated according to previously established engine valve stoppage cycles, when the engine is in a cylinder operation-stopped operational state. Thus, it is possible to prevent one or more of the cylinders from being brought into an incompletely warmed state, when the engine is restored to the all cylinder-operated state after continuation of the cylinder-stopped operation over a long time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to medical vascular catheters adapted to be
inserted into a blood vessel from an incision through the skin of a patient for introducing
other devices or fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, and particularly to an
improved distal soft tip or segment attachment with a relatively stiff proximal catheter
shaft. A tubular sleeve is bonded through the application of pressure and heat to a
distal portion of the catheter shaft and a proximal portion of the distal segment of
soft distal tip bridging the attachment junction. In the preferred method, the catheter
shaft distal end is aligned with the distal segment or soft tip proximal end and the
sleeve is fitted over the attachment junction. A heat shrink tube is fitted over the
sleeve and adjoining portions of the catheter shaft and the distal segment or distal
soft tip and heat is applied. The shrinkage force of the heat shrink tube over the
assembly of the tubular sleeve overlying and bridging the attachment junction and
the applied heat melts and force the materials of the tubular sleeve and the catheter
shaft and the distal segment or distal soft tip together to fill interstitial spaces of the
attachment junction and reduces the outer diameter of the sleeve. The heat shrink
tube is removed after the assembly cools and solidifies. Preferably, the catheter
shaft distal end and the soft tip or intermediate segment proximal end are each
formed with a like plurality of ungular cut sections that are complementary in shape
to one another, whereby the ungular cut sections are aligned with and mated
together along the attachment junction.

Abstract: Data of an IP module (1) has a hardware part for defining
a layout pattern of a first circuit (2) in an integrated circuit
and a software part (information described in an HDL or the like)

has connection information for specifying the relation of
connecting the first and second circuits. Since a part
requiring adjustment such as an interface part takes the form
of a software part and has data and the degree of freedom, at
the time of designing an integrated circuit, partial
modification such as promotion of reduction in power
consumption or reduction in chip occupying area in accordance
with an external load can be easily made on past design asset
data. Therefore, by loading the data from the storage medium
into a computer and using the data for designing of an integrated
circuit, the functions and performances of the circuit can be
guaranteed more than the case where all of modules are software
modules, the degree of freedom in designing is higher than the
case where all of modules are hardware modules, and the number
of designing steps can be also reduced.
