Abstract: An automobile mirror assembly in which a
value of resistance of a rotary variable resistor (5)
with an actuator (8) that is driven to rotate by a
mirror push-pull operation shaft (2) being moved in
its axial direction at time of adjusting a posture of
a mirror (1) in the assembly, varies generally
linearly when the mirror push-pull operation shaft
(2) moves linearly in the axial direction. The mirror
push-pull operation shaft (2) has a flat rear end
face (6), and the actuator (8) has one end (12) that
forms arc-shaped in which the flat rear end face (6)
thereof contacts the one end (12) thereof, and in
which the other end of the actuator is fixed to a
rotation shaft (13) of the rotary variable resistor
(5). The arc of the arc-shaped one end (12) of the

Abstract: A two-stage statistical calibration and measurement method and system is disclosed
for performing photoplethysmographic measurement of blood analyte
concentrations. Concentrations in a tissue sample of MetHb, O 2 Hb, RHb and COHb
are estimated by first estimating a concentration of MetHb (in a first stage) and
subsequently, if the concentration of MetHb is within a predetermined range, then
the estimated concentration of MetHb is assumed to be accurate and this estimated
concentration of MetHb is utilized as a "known value" in determining the
concentrations of the remaining analytes O 2 Hb, RHb and COHb (in a second stage).
That is, by eliminating one "unknown" from the system of equations, these remaining
analytes can be calculated with increased accuracy. Each stage is performed using
data obtained by transmitting light through the tissue sample (typically a finger or
earlobe). The transmitted light is generated by four discrete light emitters, each
emitter having a distinct spectral content.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices are imaged using two-photon absorption. The
method is similar to conventional optical beam induced imaging except that the light
beams used have frequencies (f 2 ) (photon energies hf 2 ) insufficient to excite electrons
across the semiconductor bandgap (30). Rather the instantaneous intensity of the lower
frequency light is increased, as by using a pulsed laser source, so that electron
transitions occur by two-photon absorption (35,36) predominately in the localized
region where the beam is focused. The result is minimal absorption during passage
through the substrate and maximal absorption in the component-rich active layer where
the beam is focused. This enhances imaging of fine-detail semiconductor devices.
Specifically, the quadratic dependence of free carrier generation on the excitation
intensity both enhances the resolution and provides a three-dimensional sectioning
capability.

recycling hydrocarbon containing used material such as
plastics including ABS, polystyrene styrene and other non-chlorinated
hydrocarbons, car fluff such as solid plastics,
foam plastics, fabrics and the like, and more particularly
scrap tires so as to obtain useful light oil and fuel

reactor which is closed, evacuated, rotated and heated
until exothermic reaction is initiated. The reactor
internal pressure is then allowed to increase to and is
regulated within the range of atmospheric pressure and
above. Upon continuing reactor rotation and heating,
condensable hydrocarbon vapors and gaseous hydrocarbons are
produced. The vapors are condensed into oil while the
gaseous hydrocarbons are used as a fuel for reactor
heating. At the end of the batching operation, the reactor
is air cooled prior to reactor opening and unloading of the
solid residues namely carbon black residues, wire mesh
and/or some other fibrous materials such as Kevlar® having

Abstract: A sorting apparatus is disclosed which allows

a conveyor belt system (30) which carries baggage
through an X-ray unit (70) to allow monitoring of the

further, manual investigation of the baggage that has
passed through the X-ray unit (70) is not necessary,
then the turntable (140) drives the baggage onto a

operator decides that further investigation of the
baggage is necessary, then the turntable (140) is
rotated through 90°, and baggage thereon is driven off
onto an inspection bench (200) at right angles to the
collection bench (170). The amount of lifting and

Abstract: A vector generator generates one or more pseudo-random noise PN sequences as matched-filter
PN vectors for a matched-filter correlator of a code division, multiple-access (CDMA)
demodulator. The period and clock of the local PN code sequence may be employed as a time
reference, and each matched-filter PN vector has a known code-phase offset with respect to the local
PN code sequence. Matched-filter PN vectors having a chip-length on the order of a data symbol
period, such as 64-chip sequences, are generated within a short period of time compared to the period
of the local PN code sequence. A state of the local PN code sequence is periodically captured from the
local PN code sequence, which state is employed by a PN generator generating a similar PN code
sequence but clocked at a higher rate. Consequently, a series of offset PN code sequences are
generated in advance of the local PN code sequence. Combined with single or parallel offset masking,
any desired matched-filter PN vector may be generated from the offset PN code sequences within a
short period when compared to the period of the local PN code sequence. The generation time of each
matched-filter PN vector may be 1-chip period in duration. A vector correlator of a RAKE receiver
may employ the vector generator in a CDMA communication system. Consequently, the vector
generator provides the vector correlator with matched-filter PN vectors for a matched-filter, multiple-finger
search. The vector generator allows for time-multiplexed generation of the matched-filter PN
vectors.

Abstract: According to the invention, an electron beam impulse which has a high current intensity and which can always be reproduced can be generated for long durations by the method and by the trigger plasma source for carrying out said method. The electron beam impulse is extremely well-suited for the ablation of thin layers on an exposed substrate. A pulsed Penning discharge occurs in the trigger plasma source. Rather than using surface discharge to form the electron beam, a clean gas discharge is used which does not disadvantageously influence the proceeding process sequence due to impurities. The potentials independently develop on the trigger plasma source after applying the magnetic field for the Penning discharge, said magnetic field being required for triggering.
