Patent EP-0829440-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HEVENOR CHARLES M
IPC: B65H29/00
Filed: 1997-09-16
Abstract: A processing apparatus (10) for performing work operations on a sheet material (12) includes a frame (16), a roller platen (14) and an advancing mechanism for feeding the sheet material through the apparatus and over the roller platen. Additionally, the frame carries a tool head (20) which moves over the sheet material during a work operation. A retaining device (24) such as, a magnetic or spring actuated clamp is also attached to the frame for retaining the leading edge (28) of the sheet material as it is fed out of the processing apparatus. The use of the retaining device combined with the advancement of the sheet material causes the formation of a vertical loop (30) in the sheet material. The vertical loop causes the speed at which the advancing material approaches the floor or other horizontal surface to be reduced, thereby causing a concomitant reduction in the impact force of the sheet material with the floor. In addition, the vertical loop formed by the retained sheet provides a cushioning effect, further reducing the generated impact force. Accordingly, shock waves generated in the sheet material as a result of the impact with the floor are minimized.

Title: Melange ultrasonique de compositions aqueuses de carbone conducteur
Inventor: GARLOUGH GREGORY DEAN
IPC: H05K3/42
Filed: 1997-01-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour traiter un trou traversant non conducteur dans une plaquette à circuits imprimés. La plaquette à circuits imprimés (26), comprenant des trous traversants (32) est nettoyée, conditionnée et un revêtement conducteur est appliqué au trou traversant (32) initialement non conducteur par contact avec une série de bains. Le revêtement conducteur, par exemple constitué d'une dispersion de graphite, facilite ultérieurement l'électrodéposition sur la surface conductrice. Pendant que le trou traversant (32) est immergé au moins partiellement dans un ou plusieurs de ces bains, on applique une énergie ultrasonique dans le bain concerné au voisinage du trou traversant (32). L'énergie ultrasonique diminue la formation d'inclusions gazeuses pendant des opérations ultérieures sur la plaquette à circuits imprimés (26), en particulier lors d'opérations de soudage. Le traitement ultrasonique peut également améliorer la dispersion de particules conductrices dans une dispersion de carbone conducteur, diminuer ou éliminer la formation de défauts du type trous d'épingles et apporter d'autres avantages encore.

Title: Actuator that adjusts to side loads automatically by pivoting internally
Inventor: HECKEL DONALD T JR
IPC: B60N2/02
Filed: 1997-01-29
Abstract: The actuator includes a housing (12) and a gear nut (64) within the housing (12). A leadscrew (78) on which the gear nut (64) is threaded traverses the housing (12). As the leadscrew (78) moves axially, the gear nut (64) rotates. To prevent misalignment between the gear nut (64) and leadscrew (78), the gear nut's outer walls (74 and 76) and bearing surfaces (30 and 46) within the housing (12) permit the gear nut's axis of rotation to pivot in any direction along with any pivoting of the leadscrew (78), while allowing the gear nut (64) to rotate about the leadscrew (78). Therefore, if the leadscrew (78) is not aligned with the housing (12), the leadscrew will pivot the gear nut (64) so that the gear nut (64) remains aligned with the leadscrew (78) and movement of the leadscrew (78) can continue.

Patent EP-0888521-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HAMANN OLIVER
IPC: G02B7/02
Filed: 1997-03-11
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus (0), and method of making the apparatus (0), for optical sensing of parameters in high temperature environments, such as chemical reaction zones, combustion zones, high temperature drying processes, and the like. Moreover, the optical apparatus (0) of the invention are able to operate in high temperature environments without need for associated cooling equipment. The optical elements (14, 34, 18, 38) of the sensors are fabricated from a material that is refractory, is transparent to electromagnetic radiation, has low thermal conductivity, and that reduces in viscosity when heated to a temperature well above the operating temperature to which it will be subjected in the monitoring environment. Preferably, the optical elements (14, 34, 18, 38), and even mechanical elements (10, 30, 16, 36), are made of a vitreous silica material. This allows attachment of optical and mechanical elements to each other through a 'direct adhesion' process whereby heat is applied in the region of adjacent surfaces of these elements causing reduction in viscosity of the vitreous silica, flowing and thereafter hardening to form permanent connections. Since vitreous silica has a low thermal conductivity, the locally applied heat does not substantially affect the optical properties of optical elements that are so treated for attachment.

IPC: G06F12/0831
Filed: 1997-03-14
Abstract: Snooping is implemented on a split transaction snooping bus for a computer system having at least one such bus. Circuit boards including CPU or other devices and/or distributed memory, data input/output buffers, queues including request tag queues, coherent input queues ('CIQ'), and address controller implementing address bus arbitration plug-into one or more split transaction snooping bus systems. All devices snoop on the address bus to learn whether an identified line is owned or shared, and an appropriate owned/shared signal is issued. Receipt of an ignore signal blocks CIQ loading of a transaction until the transaction is reloaded and ignore is deasserted. Ownership of a requested memory line transfers immediately at time of request. Asserted requests are queued such that state transactions on the address bus occur atomically logically without dependence upon the request. Subsequent requests for the same data are tagged to become the responsibility of the owner-requestor.

Title: Satellite signal receiver with position extrapolation filter
Inventor: ARETHENS JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: The invention concerns GPS receivers mounted on vehicles, in particular on aircraft. To obtain position values at a sufficient rate it is proposed to use speed measurements (block 22) to supply a position extrapolation (LGc, LTc, ALc) while waiting for the next position measurement. Preferably a corrected position based on a measured position is provided by adding to the previous corrected position the integrated speed (integrators 46, 48, 50) between two points in time and a smoothing term which is a fraction of the difference between the measured position and the corrected position at the time of the previous position measurement.

Inventor: CIAVARINI STEVEN J
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: A serial, dual piston high pressure fluid pumping system that overcomes the difficulties of gas in the fluid stream without the need for added mechanical valves or fluid paths. A bubble detection and recovery mechanism monitors compression and decompressin volumes of the serially configured dual pump head pump, and the overall system delivery pressure. Bubble detection is effected by sensing a ratio of compression to decompression volume and determining if the ratio exceeds an empirical threshold that suggests the ratio of gas-to-liquid content of eluent or fluid in the system is beyond the pump's ability to accurately meter a solvent mixture. The magnitude of the ratio of compression to decompression volume indicates that either the intake stroke has a bubble or that the eluent has higher-than-normal gas content. Once a bubble has been detected, recovery is effected by forcing the pump into a very high stroke volume with the compression and decompression stroke limits constrained to obtain the largest delivery stroke compression ratio that will expel a bubble or solvent that has detrimental quantities of gas.

Abstract: A CNC device 10 and servoamplifiers SA1, SA2 are
connected in the manner of a daisy-chain. The positions of
the servo motors M1, M2 detected by pulse coders P1, P2 are
read in synchronization at the same point in time. In such
circumstances, the synchronizing signal for the command to
read the positions is propagated from the CNC device 10 to
the servoamplifiers SA1, SA2 by means of transmission lines
L1, L2. Propagation delay is generated, but synchronization
is achieved by correcting this propagation delay time, so
that the positions of the servo motors M1, M2 are detected
at the same point in time.
