IPC: B60J7/057
Filed: 1993-09-10
Abstract: A device for controlling the position of the movable parts (11) is proposed, which contains an absolute position sensor (encoder) (13) which indicates that the movable part (11) has reached a reference position by means of changing the signal of an absolute value position (25). In order to remove a negative influence on the accuracy caused by a positionly dependent hysteresis of the absolute value position sensor (13), a signal-processing arrangement (28) is provided which outputs a reference position override signal (36) and a new desired value corresponds to the reference position and when at the same time the old desired value corresponds to a position of the movable part (11) in a prescribable range (41, 42) of positions. It is ensured by means of this measure that the reference position of the movable part (11) is always approached only starting from one range (41, 42) of positions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A capillary electrophoresis system (100) utilizes a square "ring" capillary (106). The capillary has a hair-pin bend (161) at each corner of the square. An opening (171) in each bend permits fluid and electrical coupling with a respective electrolyte-containing vial (141). A distributor (104) selectively routes the opposite terminals of a power supply (102) to opposing corners of the square so that a sample component of interest migrates continuously downstream. A detector (110) determines when the sample component a detection point along the capillary. This detection is used to determine a migration rate for the sample component. When the sample component is estimated to be midway between corners, the distributor switches from applying a voltage differential between a second upstream corner and the downstream corner to applying a voltage differential between the upstream corner and the second downstream corner. This permits the sample component to migrate downstream past the downstream corner. Distributor switching continues until a reading from the detector determines that satisfactory resolution has been achieved.

Abstract: An electron beam apparatus focusses an electron beam (1) onto a specimen (6) by means of an objective magnetic lens (2). In order to detect changes in the height of the specimen, a laser light beam (1) from a laser source (9) is incident on the specimen (6) and the reflected laser beam (11) is detected by a light detector (3). Any change in the height of the specimen (6) changes the path of the laser beam (11) to the detector (3). Therefore, by monitoring the detector (3), the focussing of the electron beam (1) on the specimen (6) can be controlled by varying the current to an excitation coil (31) of the objective magnetic lens (2) or by moving the specimen (6) via a mounting stage (10). At least one of the pole pieces (28,29) of the objective lens (2) is on the opposite side of the path of the laser beam to the source of the electron beam (1), so that the objective magnetic lens (2) may be close to the specimen (6), permitting a short focal length. Thus, the laser beam (11) may pass between the pole pieces (28,29). An optical microscope (39) may also be provided to permit the specimen (6) to be viewed. The viewing path of the optical microscope (39) extends through an opening (37A) in one or both of the pole pieces (28,29) of the objective magnetic lens (2).

Abstract: A method for controlling flow, through a computer hardware resource, of information to and from computer applications. When a flow of information is initiated from one of the applications, a determination is made whether the resource is being accessed by another one of the applications and, if so, the flow of information from the first application is delayed. If not, then the flow of information is enabled. When a flow of information is initiated toward the applications, a determination is made to which one of the applications the information is flowing, and the flow is directed to that one application. A graphical interface associates, in the mind of a user, a computer hardware resource with a corresponding real office device, the computer resource enabling the computer to function like the consumer device. The graphical interface includes a surrealistic image having physical features which represent functional components of the resource, the physical features of the image resembling corresponding features of the office device; and an animation routine which causes the image to change when the user selects one of the features of the image, thereby invoking the corresponding functional component of the resource, the change occurring in a manner which resembles changes to the office device when the corresponding feature of the office device is invoked.
