Abstract: Disclosed is a pivot-arm type manipulator device, comprising an arm member that pivots about an axis by being manipulated, and a friction contact unit that generates friction force as the arm member pivots. At least one of the following differs between a first region of a small degree of manipulation vis-à-vis the arm member and a second region of the degree of manipulation vis-à-vis the arm member that is greater than the degree of manipulation of the first region: the friction coefficient between two members that configure the friction contact unit, the pressing load that acts between the two members that configure the friction contact unit, or the distance in the radial direction between the axis and the friction contact unit. The resistance torque that is applied to the arm member about the axis by friction force accordingly varies with the degree of manipulation vis-à-vis the arm member.

IPC: H03M13/39
Filed: 2009-09-30
Abstract: A highly efficient and reliable reproduced signal evaluation method and an optical disc drive using that method in which assuming that the number of 2T's appearing successively in a predetermined evaluation bitstream is i, the evaluation bitstream is divided into a main bitstream (5+2i) long and sub bitstreams at the ends of the main bitstream. The check process to determine whether a predetermined evaluation bitstream is included in the binarized bitstreams is replaced with a main bitstream agreement check. This can prevent an increase in the circuit size. At the same time, by separately summing up for each main bitstream the calculated results of Euclidean distance between the reproduced signal and the target signal corresponding to the evaluation bitstream, the size of an evaluation summing circuit can be reduced.

IPC: G01N27/22
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: A capacitive sensor is based on configurable electrodes, i.e. by different electrical connections of the electrodes or subunits or groups of electrodes and by varying the electrical connections to the read-out circuitry the distribution of the electric field lines of a sensor capacitor is modified. This enables to perform two or more independent measurements with the same sensor, thus reducing the number of required sensors. This in turn significantly decreases cost and efficiently improves signal quality at the same time. Since the identical sensor may be used for measuring and as reference, a perfect matching is ensured, i.e. any variations in the sensor or its sensitive coating are cancelled out. Sensor drift and any influence of e.g. humidity, are reduced, and the sensor signals are rendered more stable. When integrated on a microchip, the chip size can be drastically reduced, since fewer sensors (capacitors) are required on the chip.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is described which utilizes one or more transducer arrays (10a,10b) affixed to the head of a patient to diagnose and treat stroke victims. The transducer headset produces a two or three dimensional image of the vasculature inside the cranium, preferably assisted by a microbubble contrast agent. A vascular flow map is produced by the system which may be diagnosed for signs of a blood clot. If a blood clot is detected, a therapeutic beam is transmitted while the contrast agent is present to break up the blood clot by the disruption of microbubbles. The headset may also be used in a monitoring application to detect the recurrence of blood clots in a stroke victim.

A shed angle (α) of equal to or less than 10°, a shed tip (11,11') radius (R1,R2) of greater than 0.1 mm and in particular equal to or greater than 0.2 mm, but lower than 3 mm results in a material-saving shed with good electrical characteristics. For the insulator (1) with such sheds (10,10',10") an alternating arrangement of the sheds (10,10',10") is preferred and a preferred shed distance (s) is in the range of 20 mm - 40 mm. The minimized design exhibits a small to zero increase in electric field at the shed tip (11,11'), in the dry state, in comparison to sheds and insulators known in the prior art. The thin sheds (10,10',10") perform well in moist and polluted environments. The reduced shed angle (α) and tip radius (R1,R2) allow for the dripping of rain while leaving the underside of the shed dry; long pendant drops, which may lead to flashover, are not observed. The creepage distance of the design is controlled by adjusting the shed radius.
