Abstract: Procédés de production d'hologrammes à partir d'un modèle informatique d'un objet quelconque (30), utilisant des moyens optiques et numériqus combinés. On spécifie un modèle d'éclairage et les propriétés de dispersion de la lumière de l'objet (30). L'hologramme (50) est synthétisé à partir d'un ensemble d'éléments holographiques plus petits (52, 54). Chaque élément individuel (52, 54) supporte un champ de vision de l'objet. Les rayons lumineux provenant de l'objet situé dans le champ de vision et le long des lignes de vision sont échantillonnés par l'ordinateur (60). La densité d'échantillonnage ne devrait pas dépasser la limite de résolution déterminée par la taille de l'élément holographique (50). Chaque rayon lumineux est spécifié par une direction et par une fonction de l'amplitude. On peut obtenir l'élément holographique (52, 54) à partir d'une transformée de Fourier des rayons échantillonnés en utilisant une radiation cohérente. On provoque ensuite l'interférence des rayons de lumière cohérente reproduits avec un faisceau cohérent de référence, de manière à former l'élément holographique (52, 54). Dans une variante, la frange d'interférence est calculée directement par l'ordinateur (60) et imprimée pour former l'élément holographique (52, 54).

Abstract: A double piping system connected between an underground storage tank and an above-ground liquid dispenser, e.g. gasoline, provides containment to prevent the pumped liquid from leaking from the underground piping system into the environment. The piping system can be tested or replaced from grade without excavating or breaking ground at the installed tank site. Particularly advantageous assembly and disassembly of the system is provided by a coupling that involves cooperation between a bayonet-type quick-disconnect coupling for the primary piping and a bellows for the secondary piping. The bellows retracts to provide access to the quick-disconnect fitting for replacement of the inner piping. When extended, the bellows is sealably connected with a containment piping coaxial with the primary piping, so as to provide an annular containment volume around the quick-disconnect coupling.

Abstract: Electronic transponders (20) embedded within or on vehicle tires (40) are electromagnetically actuated by signals from an interrrogator coil (14). The transponder includes a receiver/transmitter coil (26) of one or more loops of wire (54) strategically placed along the sidewall or in proximity to the tread face of the tire. The transponder responds to actuation by producing a shifted frequency modulated with synchronization pulses and unique device identifying digital information. The transponder data stream can also include information on the condition and environment of the tire. By appropriate placement of the tire transponder coils and the interrogator coils, dynamic reading of the tire data is possible even with the vehicle in motion.

Abstract: In a process for separating and detecting constituents of a mixture of substances by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE), a spatial temperature gradient is constructed from spatially separate temperature levels, or a temporal temperature gradient is constructed, or a temperature gradient is constructed from the spatial and temporal temperature gradients. The temperature levels used to construct the spatial temperature gradients are set by controllable heating or cooling devices. For the construction of the temporal temperature gradients, the temperature level at any point in the separating section in the separating medium can be varied with time as desired by means of controllable heating or cooling devices. A device for implementing the process with controllable heating or cooling devices for constructing temperature gradients, a hollow body arranged between the temperature levels which contains the separating medium used, and a thermostatted jacket which surrounds the hollow, are also described.

Abstract: A reference beam is allowed to be incident into a Michelson interferometer and a reference interference electric signal which changes sinusoidally with the movement of a movable reflector (14) in accordance with interference of the reference beam is obtained. A control circuit (21) applies a direction control signal representing the direction of the movement of the movable reflector (14) to a two-phase signal generator (32B). In response to the indicated direction, this generator generates a two-phase signal either one of the phases of which is advanced by 90°, and applies this two-phase signal as a feedback signal to a servo driving circuit (19). The control circuit (21) applies a movement control signal to the servo driving circuit (19) and controls the movement of the movable reflector (14), so that high precision control becomes possible in accordance with accuracy of the wavelength of the reference beam.
