Patent EP-0347490-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIMURA HIDEO
IPC: G01K7/14
Filed: 1988-08-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring temperature, using a thermocouple such as a ceramic thermocouple which has no compensating lead wire or has only such a compensating lead wire that is difficult to manufacture. More specifically, the invention is intended to provide a method and an apparatus for accurately measuring temperature even if a temperature difference exists between both cold junctions of the main thermocouple. An auxiliary thermocouple is connected to one leg of the main thermocouple to provide cold junction compensation. Extension lead are connected to both cold junctions to take thermo emf from the thermocouple. The leads are made from a material having a thermo­electromotive characteristic agreeing with the thermo­electromotive characteristic of the other leg at low temperatures at which the cold junction compensation is provided. The invention also provides a converter used to convert the thermo emf of the above-described composite thermocouple into temperature. The converter can set interpolation equations (1) and (2) separately. Equation (1) is used to convert the thermo emf of the auxilliary thermocouple into thermo emf of the main thermo­couple. Equation (2) is used to convert the sum of the converted thermo emf and the thermo emf of the main thermocouple into temperature.

Abstract: A steerable guidewire has an elongate main wire (10) having a tapered distal portion (12A) and a helical coil (16) mounted about the distal portion. The distal end (12) of the coil extends beyond the distal tip (14) of the tapered distal portion of the main wire. An inner helical coil (22) is disposed within the outer coil is secured at its proximal end (24) to the distal tip of the tapered distal portion of the main wire and at its distal end to the distal end of the outer coil. The device does not have a separate safety wire, the inner coil serving as the sole safety connection between the main wire and the outer coil. The omission of the conventional safety wire and the use of the dual coil construction provides a tip which is equally flexible in all directions. Gradual selected transitions in stiffness may be achieved by varying the spacing of the individual turns of the inner and outer coils. The guidewire also provides for a change in the radiopacity of the distal portion of the guidewire to provide a more radiopaque segment at the distal portion than at the more proximal portions by forming the inner coil from a more radiopaque material than the outer coil.

Abstract: In a digital computer system which employs a plurality of host processors (33), at least two system buses (35) and a plurality of peripheral input/output ports, an input/out­put system is provided whereby ownership of the input/output channels (109) is shared. The device controller (41) employs a first port controller (43-0) having a first ownership latch, a second port controller (43-1) having a second ownership latch, a first bus, a dedicated microprocessor having control over the first bus (the MPU bus), a second, higher-speed bus, a multiple-channel direct memory access (DMA) controlIer which is a state machine which controls the second bus (the data buffer bus), a bus switch for exchanging data between buses, a multiple device peripheral device interface, namely a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) (111), and at least provi­sion for interface with data communication equipment (DCEs) or data terminal equipment (DTEs). The DMA controller arbitrates data bus usage and can allocate alternate bus clock cycles in response to requests to exchange data and is capable of supporting overlapping transfers. The microprocessor is allowed access to the data buffer bus only if the data buffer bus is not in use for data transfer. The latches associated with each port grant ownership to either port or both ports allowing data exchange between addressed peripheral devices and requesting ports.

Abstract: Relative angular movement between two linear members is detected by shining light from a light source (11) through a triangular mask (12) in one member onto a mirror (10) in the other member and reflecting the image of the triangular mask onto a linear array of detectors (15). Movement between the two members causes different detectors in the array to be illuminated and the position and number of detectors illuminated determines the X and Y axis of movement to enable the relative angular movement of the two members to be calculated.

Abstract: A method of forming a gasket (10) with an accurately aligned and deposited sealing bead and embossment arrangement. The method comprises providing a deformable gasket body (12) having two spaced apart major surfaces (14, 16). The next step involves applying a relatively incompressible sealing material against one of the major surfaces on the gasket body with sufficient pressure and in a manner deforming both of the major sufaces of the gasket body (12). The deformation of the gasket body defines an embossment comprising a projection extending outwardly from one major surface and a substantially corresponding indentation extending inwardly from the other major surface. Besides creating an embossment, sealing material remains in and fills the indentation to provide. support for the embossment. Another step in the process involves curing the sealing material filling the indentation in the gasket body.

In a converter constructed of an even number of subconverters, the individual reactors can moreover be coupled in such a way that the magnetic unidirectional fluxes in the coupling caused by the direct currents in the reactors are compensated.

Abstract: An encryption apparatus has a keyboard 1 for the input of message data and a processor 2 for encrypting that data under a working key. The working key is not, however, permanently stored in the apparatus. Rather, the working key is derived by encrypting "precursive key data" stored in a memory 5 of the apparatus under a key represented by, or derived from, a password input  via  the keyboard, and is erased after each use. In this way, the secrecy of the working key is not dependent on maintaining the ultimate physical security of the apparatus against possible attempts to gain access to its memory, but rather on the secrecy of the password which is input to the apparatus only as and when it is necessary to derive the key for performing the encryption process.

Abstract: To check the functional capability of the cooling sections, provided with cooling-air supply lines and cooling-air removal lines, of a slot die (10) of an extruder for manufacturing flat films from thermoplastic material, the cooling-air supply lines (9) are connected as and when required to a central pressurised cooling-air feedline (4) by means of solenoid valves (2), controlled by an electronic arithmetic unit (1). In order to provide simple and reliable checking, a test program is used as a basis for closing by means of a shut-off valve (5) the cooling-air feedline (11) upstream of the branch lines leading to the individual solenoid valves (2), with the solenoid valves (2) closed. Then, by means of a pressure sensor (6) downstream of the shut-off valve in the cooling-air feedline, the pressure and the pressure drop which occur in the cooling-air feedline (4) upon opening of the solenoid valve (2) of the first cooling section to be tested are measured. In this method, an error signal is generated if the pressure and the measured pressure drop do not correspond to the typical values for the proper functions of the cooling-air feedline and of the cooling section tested. All the cooling sections are successively tested in a corresponding way.
