Patent EP-1092957-A3 (EP)
Title: Displacement transducer
Inventor: SHOUSE JAMES C
IPC: G01D5/244
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: A method of correcting the output of a rotary displacement transducer (105, 109) so as to remove spin frequency noise error. For each revolution of the transducer (105, 109), a series of transducer output values is accumulated. Each output value represents a time interval between transducer pulses. These output values are used to calculate sin and cosine values of a sin wave and cosine wave having a period determined by the transducer resolution. From the sin and cosine waves, a quadrature and an inphase value are obtained, and the latter values are used to calculate magnitude and phase values of a correction sin wave having the same transducer periodicity. The magnitude and phase values are used to calculate a correction value for each transducer output value.

Abstract: A method of generating write pulse control signals
adaptive to various optical recording media, and a
recording apparatus adopting the method. Timing data is
obtained with respect to starting and/or ending positions
of pulses, relative to rising and falling edges of a mark,
wherein the timing data includes a first pulse, a multi-pulse
train, a last pulse and a cooling pulse, and the
starting and ending positions of the pulses are varied for
various optical recording media. The timing data is
stored (102), and then a bias power control signal, an
erase power control signal, a peak power control signal
and a cooling power control signal are generated (120) in
synchronism with an input nonreturn to zero inverted
(NRZI) signal, based on the timing data for each optical
recording medium. The recording apparatus can store write
pulses, which are adaptive to various optical recording
media, in the form of timing data, and generate (106) base
signals based on the timing data. Also, the write pulse
control signals can be generated (120) by the base
signals, which controls timing of the write pulses such
that the optical recording can be realized adaptive to
various optical recording media.

Abstract: An easy method of forming purified carbon nanotubes from which
graphitic phase or carbon particles are removed, using a high-density
plasma. Carbon nanotubes are grown on a substrate
using a plasma chemical vapor deposition method at a high
plasma density of 10 11  cm -3  or more. The carbon nanotube
formation includes: growing a carbon nanotube layer on a
substrate to have a predetermined thickness by plasma
deposition; purifying the carbon nanotube layer by plasma
etching; and repeating the growth and the purification of the
carbon nanotube layer. For the plasma etching, a halogen-containing
gas, for example, a carbon tetrafluoride gas, is
#used as a source gas.
