Patent EP-0855966-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRATKOWSKI EDWARD J
IPC: G05B19/29
Filed: 1996-09-30
Abstract: A position encoding system is provided for controlling movement of a movable panel between predetermined positions. The panel is moved by a pair of cables coupled thereto. The system includes a housing assembly and a motor mounted with respect to the housing assembly. The motor has an output shaft rotatable in a forward direction and a reverse direction. Drive gear structure rotates in response to rotation of the output shaft. The drive gear structure cooperates with the pair of cables such that rotation of the drive gear structure moves the cables linearly and thus moves the panel. An encoder gear rotates continuously through multiple revolutions of the output shaft. The encoder gear includes a plurality of electrically conductive contacts on a surface thereof. An idler gear is coupled between the drive gear structure and the encoder gear so as to transfer motion of the drive gear structure to the encoder gear. A printed circuit board is mounted within the housing assembly and has a circuit thereon. The circuit includes stationary circuit board electrically conductive contacts thereon and has a microprocessor. The circuit board contacts are arranged in such a manner so as to be engaged by associated encoder gear conductive contacts upon rotation of the encoder gear. Certain of circuit board contacts are associated with particular positions of the movable panel and engagement of the encoder gear contacts with the circuit board contacts generates signals which are inputted to the microprocessor so that the microprocessor can control the motor and thus the movement of the panel.

Abstract: The present invention involves control and protection circuit (7) for a
compressor motor (ML) which includes an inductively activated contactor for
controlling the flow of current to the compressor motor. The circuitry of the present
invention includes a plurality of current detectors (12) associated with each phase
winding of the compressor motor for sensing the current in each phase winding. The
sensed currents are combined in a predetermined manner and used to provide
protection against an overcurrent condition (15), single phase operation (13) and light
loading condition (14). Additional detector circuits are also connected to the present
control and protection circuit to provide protection against high temperature in the
compressor motor windings (16), high temperature in various component of the
compressor motor (18), and undervoltage in the power supply (30). A temperature
detector (T4) disposed inside the cooling chamber also provides for cycling of the
compressor motor to maintain the temperature in the cooling chamber at within a
predetermined temperature range. The inductive coupling is activated by a protection
timer (20) and an oscillator (22). The protection timer deactivates the oscillator when
a trip signal is received from the detector circuits. A predetermined time delay is
provided by the protection timer to prevent spurious trips of the compressor motor.

Abstract: To form a device isolating deep trench (109) adjacent to a well
(108), the deep trench is formed by using, as a mask, a photoresist mask
(107) used for forming the well (108) and a silicon oxide film (104) or a
polysilicon film (111) formed on a semiconductor substrate and patterned
by an etching using another photoresist mask (105) which was used for
forming an adjacent well (106), or two patterned insulating layers (104
and 104, or 115 and 116) formed on the semiconductor substrate. Thus,
the deep trench for the device isolation can be formed without adding a
photoresist step for forming a trench formation pattern. In addition,
since a lift-off process is not used for forming the deep trench, an
isolation trench having a narrow width can be formed, and also, there
does not occur the re-deposition of the peeled-off plasma CVD insulating
film onto the semiconductor substrate, with the result that the stability in
manufacturing the semiconductor device is remarkably elevated.

Abstract: A propulsion system and, in particular, a
microthruster for a microsatellite. The microthruster may be
formed as a resistojet type thruster formed with a chamber,
closed by a diaphragm which acts as a blow-out disk. A
fluid, such as an inert gas, is disposed within the chamber.
Heating of the gas causes the gas pressure to increase until
the diaphragm ruptures, which, in turn, causes the gas to
flow out of the chamber, acting as a propellant, and
providing a small unit force. The microthruster is adapted
to be formed by known batch processing methods with 10 4 -10 6 
microthrusters per wafer. The unit of force can be easily
scaled by varying the number of microthrusters 20 used for an
application, the geometry of the chamber 22, as well as the
type of fluid used within the chamber, to suit the
microsatellite application.

Abstract: A material to be cut has a face to be cut with a cutting
tool, and a cutout which temporarily brings the cutting tool
into a noncontact state. Images of the cutting tool during

interval of a predetermined delay time τ. A plurality of
image information items obtained by these capturing
operations include temperature change information of each
location as the cutting tool gradually passes from the point
of instant when it enters the cutout. Therefore, the image
information items are arranged in relation to the exposure
time from the point of instant, and a two-dimensional
temperature distribution of the cutting tool at the point
of instance is computed according to the tendency of change
in image information.

Abstract: A down hole tool, constructed to be suspended in a
well by pipe, includes a housing (42), a circulation piston (82), a
biasing member (94) and a pressure-compensation system. The
housing defines a flow chamber in open fluid communication
with the pipe interior, a bypass port for fluid flow between
the flow chamber and the well, a mud chamber in open
communication with the well, and a sealed chamber separated
from the flow chamber by a sealed interface. The
circulation piston separates the flow and mud chambers and
is arranged for movement between a first, bypass port-blocking
position and a second, bypass port-exposing
position in response to pressure in the flow chamber. The
biasing member biases the circulation piston to its first
position, and the pressure-compensation system limits the
pressure difference between the flow and sealed chambers,
thereby limiting the pressure difference across the sealed
interface. The tool has particular application to tools,
e.g. well logging tools, adapted to be connected downhole to
a wireline cable connector that is pumped down the well.
Methods of use are also disclosed.
