Patent EP-0776804-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ADAMS WERNER
IPC: F16D57/04
Filed: 1996-10-26
Abstract: A drive unit for a motor vehicle having an engine; a transmission featuring a transmission housing; and a retarder featuring a rotor and a stator. A retarder shaft is provided that is supported by two bearings which are offset along the axial length of the retarder shaft. At least one of the bearings ("outside bearing") is supported by a wall ("outside wall") of the transmission housing. The retarder shaft protrudes freely beyond the outside wall of the transmission housing. Disposed on the retarder shaft, outside the outer bearing, on the outside wall, is a sealing component. The sealing component seals the clearance between the retarder (or pinion) shaft and the outside wall, preventing passage therethrough of the transmission oil and the operating medium of the retarder.

Abstract: The device has a distance sensor (9) which detects the distance of the processing unit (2) from the ground, a pressure sensor (10) for the pressure in the pref. hydraulic or pneumatic control element (3) for the processing unit's position and a controller (7) which activates the control element for setting the ground distance and/or application pressure according to a demand value and evaluation of the sensor output signal. Signal values for the maximum cylinder pressure of the control element for a raised processing unit and/or the ground distance for horizontal application of the processing unit are placed in a non-volatile memory in the controller. Correction values for the demand signal are derived from these signals and from the measured actual signal.

Abstract: A wafer polishing head (100) utilises a wafer backing member (124) having a wafer facing pocket (126) which is sealed against the wafer and is pressurised with air or other fluid to provide a uniform force distribution pattern across the width of the wafer inside an edge seal feature (123) at the perimeter of the wafer to urge (or press) the wafer uniformly toward a polishing pad (182). Wafer polishing is carried out uniformly without variations in the amount of wafer material across the usable area of the wafer. A frictional force between the seal feature (123) of the backing member and the surface of the wafer transfers rotational movement of the head to the wafer during polishing. A pressure controlled bellows (118) supports and presses the wafer backing member (124) toward the polishing pad (182) and accommodates any dimensional variation between the polishing head and the polishing pad as the polishing head is moved relative to the polishing pad. An integral, but independently retractable and extendable retaining ring assembly (146) is provided around the wafer backing member and wafer to uniformly an independently control the pressure of a wafer perimeter retaining ring (162) on the polishing pad (182) of a wafer polishing bed (180).

Abstract: Bidirectional optical communication system transmits optical signals with two different wavelengths λ 1  and λ 2  (λ 1 <λ 2 ) between a broadcasting station and a plurality of ONU terminals. Bisecting separation of λ 1  and λ 2  requires expensive WDMs. λ 1 -selective photodiode which absorbs all the λ 1  light and allows all the λ 2  to pass through is proposed. The energy gap Eg 1  of the light receiving layer is determined to be smaller than hc/λ 2  and larger than hc/λ 1 . The λ 1 -selective photodiode and the other photodiode are positioned in series on a beam line, which dispenses with WDMs.

Abstract: Non-linearity of a voltage-controlled non-linear amplifier/attenuator is compensated by placing a non-linear circuit in the feedback path of an operation amplifier (21) of a linearizer, the circuit comprising one or more differential amplifiers connected in parallel. For example, one amplifier (LTP1) can be a low-gain amplifier whose exponential range is at the lower end of the control voltage range (VLIN), and another can be a high-gain amplifier whose exponential range is at the upper end of the control voltage range. When a necessary number (n) of differential amplifiers are used in the feedback path, it is possible to compensate for the non-linearity of the non-linear component to a desired extent.

Abstract: A magnetic head assembly (28) includes a magnetoresistive (MR) read sensor (34)
dielectrically disposed between a magnetic shield layer (48) and a first pole layer (44). A
write transducer (2) comprises an inductive coil (40) having a plurality of windings
dielectrically disposed between the first pole layer (44) and a second pole layer (46). The
magnetic shield layer (48) partially overlaps portions of the coil windings (41). A
nonmagnetic layer (50) is coplanar with the magnetic shield layer (48). A reduced
coupling area between the magnetic shield layer (48) and the coil (40) decreases the mutual
inductance applied to the magnetic coil by the magnetic layer, resulting in the coil (40)
having better response to write current and being capable of operating at wider frequency
ranges. The first pole layer (44) includes a unique shape having a narrow mid-section
integrally formed between the wider end sections. The narrow mid-section of the first
pole layer (44) also reduces the coupling area between the first pole layer (44) and the coil
(40) and reduces the mutual inductance from the first pole layer (44) to the coil (40).

Abstract: A system and method of protecting all the amplifiers in a link between wavelength
routing network elements of an optical network. According to the invention, an optical
control channel is added before a plurality of optical amplifier, preferably the first
amplifier, in a link. To prevent improper loading of downstream links, the control channel
is stripped off at the next wavelength routing network element. The power of the control
channel is automatically adjusted using a fast feedback circuit to hold substantially
constant the total power of the signal channels and the control channel at the input of the
first amplifier following the feedback loop. In this manner, channel loading of all optical
amplifiers in the link is maintained substantially constant, and the incidence of error bursts,
as might otherwise result when one or more channels are added or dropped due to a
network fault or reconfiguration, is substantially reduced.

Abstract: The use of texaphyrins for ocular diagnosis and therapy is provided, especially use of photosensitive texaphyrins for photodynamic therapy of conditions of the eye characterized by abnormal vasculature, such as macular degeneration, or pterygium, for example. The photosensitive texaphyrin may be a free-base texaphyrin or may be metallated with a diamagnetic metal. Preferably, the photosensitive texaphyrin is metallated with lutetium. Due to the dual wavelength absorption of texaphyrins, i.e., at 400-500 nm and at 700-800 nm, especially about 732 nm, as compared to porphyrins, texaphyrins are more effective and versatile for use in humans as compared to porphyrins. Texaphyrins serve as effective contrast agents in ocular angiography.
