Title: Friction drive for rotary to linear motion.
Inventor: ROCHTE JERRY E
IPC: G01F11/02
Filed: 1992-11-12
Abstract: A driven member has flat parallel top and bottom surfaces over at least a portion of its length. A motor actuated drive roller is mounted between two parallel, spaced side plates between which the driven member reciprocates and bears against the driven member. Back-up rollers engage the drive roller to prevent the pinion from backing away from the driven member. A spring-mounted pressure roller bears against the side of the driven member directly opposite the drive roller. As the motor turns the drive roller, the latter frictionally engages the driven member and causes the latter to move linearly without the backlash characteristic of rack and pinion mechanisms.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système pour mesurer électriquement certaines caractéristiques chimiques de fluides électroconducteurs, tels que du sang, se trouvant dans un tube et soumis à une interférence de courant électrique. Le procédé consiste à mesurer le potentiel en tension entre une électrode de référence et une électrode de détection sensibles à un paramètre particulier du sang tel qu'une concentration en pH ou calcium, potassium ou chlorure. Une voie de dérivation destinée à l'interférence de courant électrique est ménagée par une paire d'électrodes de réduction du bruit situées sur les côtés opposés des électrodes de référence et de détection et est interconnectée par un amplificateur à impédance de sortie relativement faible et à impédance d'entrée relativement élevée. L'interférence de courant électrique contourne les électrodes des signaux en passant directement dans la borne de sortie de l'amplificateur, de telle façon que les électrodes de référence et de détection développent un potentiel entre elles indépendamment de l'interférence de courant électrique.

Abstract: An enhanced DRAM contains embedded row registers (56) in the form of SRAM cells (142, 144). The row registers (56) are adjacent to the DRAM array (40), and when the DRAM comprises a group of subarrays, the row registers (56) are located between DRAM subarrays (40). When used on-chip DRAM cache (48), these registers (56) hold frequently accessed data. This data corresponds to data stored in the DRAM (34) at a particular address. When an address is supplied to the DRAM (34), it is compared to the address of the data stored in the cache (56). If the addresses are the same, then the cache data is read at SRAM speeds. The DRAM (34) is decoupled from this read. The DRAM (34) also remains idle during this cache read unless the system opts to precharge or refresh the DRAM (34). Refresh or precharge occur concurrently with the cache read. If the addresses are not the same, then the DRAM (34) is accessed and the embedded register (56) is reloaded with the data at that new DRAM address. Asynchronous operation of the DRAM (34) is achieved by decoupling the row registers from the DRAM array (40), thus allowing the DRAM cells to be precharged or refreshed during a read of the row register (56).

Abstract: An electrophotographic method and apparatus for developing and printing colour images by the electrostatic projection of dry powder colour toners (104) onto a photoconductive member (10). A plurality of colour developing devices (28,30,32,34) are spaced from the photoconductive member (10) and are AC and DC biased (46,48,52,118) to sequentially project each of the cyan, yellow, magenta, and black color planes onto the photoconductive member (10). The photoconductive member (10) is directly driven against an intermediate transfer member (60) which sequentially receives and stores each of the colour planes to thereby form a composite colour image, and each colour plane is transferred from the photoconductive member (10) before the next colour plane is received thereon. The composite colour image is then directly transferred to the print medium (72), whereby the use of the intermediate transfer member (60) eliminates the problems of counter potentials at the surface of the photoconductive member (10) and enables dot-on-dot (DOD) formatting to be utilized for achieving the maximum resolution and print quality of the printed image.

Abstract: An asymmetric hyperbolic microlens on the end of a single-mode optical fiber enhances the fiber's coupling to elliptical laser beams. The lenses, with controlled eccentricity ratios, are made by micromachining the end of the fiber with a pulsed CO₂ laser as the fiber is directed, preferably by computer control, about the focused laser beam. Coupling efficiencies of 90 percent (-0.75 dB) have been realized with single transverse mode lasers at a wavelength of 0.98 µm having an approximately 3 to 1 beam ellipticity. With multimode lasers at 1.48 µm having similar elliptical beams, the asymmetric lenses demonstrate an almost 2 dB increase in coupling efficiency over symmetric hyperbolic microlenses. Such lasers are useful to pump erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. About 120 mw was coupled from such a laser into single-mode fiber.

Abstract: Polarization-dependent distortion can cause significant signal degradation of optical signals at data rates of 2.5 Gbps and above in long haul terrestrial and undersea optical amplified systems. This distortion limits the maximum bit rate and/or the length of the system. 
     In accordance with the present invention, the foregoing problem is reduced by utilizing a technique for aligning the polarization of an optical signal being transmitted through an optical fiber to minimize the received signal distortion. 
     In preferred embodiments of the invention, a polarization controller (a device which can change the polarization of light in an optical fiber) located at either the input or output end of a long haul optical fiber system is used to align the polarization of the signal to minimize the received signal distortion. The result is that polarization-dependent distortion of the transmitted signal is substantially reduced. 
     Automatic operation of the polarization controller can be obtained by using a steepest-descent method based on a distortion measure of the received signal for the optical signal transmitted through the optical fiber to generate control signals which are used to control the polarization controller.

The invention provides an apparatus having storage space arranged to store a number of such complex articles for recycling. Access to the storage space is controlled by a data processor which interacts with a user by way of a visual display unit and control panel. If the user wishes to store an item, he indicates this by way of the control panel and the apparatus is then operable to open a receptacle to receive the used item. When the used item is placed in the receptacle, in preferred embodiments means are provided to determine that the used item is an article of an appropriate type to be stored. These means preferably employ shape recognition. The article will be rejected if it is not of the correct type and accepted and retained in a storage space if it is of the correct type. The preferred apparatus is also arranged to dispense items on request by the user. A preferred feature is that the apparatus will not dispense a new or recycled item if a predetermined ratio of new items dispensed to used items stored by that user would be exceeded. This encourages recycling.
