Inventor: BENZ PAUL
IPC: G01S7/48
Filed: 2002-04-13
Abstract: Electronic radiation is emitted (1,2,3,4) at at least two carrier wavelengths, and received (7,8,9). A first semiconductor laser (2) emits a first carrier wavelength in the infrared or red wavelength range. A second semiconductor laser (3) emits a second carrier wavelength in the violet wavelength range. The propagation time of the two different carrier wavelengths along a transmission path is measured (10). The dispersive influence on the measurement is calculated (11) from the two measured propagation times. Independent claims are also included for: (a) the use of the device to correct distance measurements (b) a geodetic measuring device, in particular a theodolite

IPC: G02B5/30
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: An interferometer includes (200) a two-frequency laser (210) and a PBS (220) that separates a heterodyne beam (IN) from the laser into separate beams (ROut, TOut) having different the frequencies and orthogonal polarizations. Optical fibers (250,255) conduct the separate beams to a beam combiner (270) for interferometer optics (290). The PBS and/or the beam combiner can use a coating to reflect one linear polarization and transmit an orthogonal linear polarization. To improve extinction ratios in the PBS or the beam combiner, a yaw angle for an input beam is non-zero and corresponds to a peak in the extinction ratio of a reflected beam. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle that is
driven by a vehicle engine. The system has a compressor
selectively operable by the vehicle engine and an electric
motor which outputs force smaller than that of the vehicle
engine. The electric motor is used as a drive force of the
compressor when the vehicle engine is in non-operating
state. The compressor compresses refrigerant gas
introduced into a suction chamber from an external
refrigerant circuit. A displacement of the compressor is
variable based on a differential pressure between the
suction chamber and a crank chamber. The compressor has a
control valve that is disposed on a refrigerant passage
communicating with the crank chamber. The control valve
has a valve plunger for changing an opening size of the
control valve to adjust pressure in the crank chamber. The
system comprises pressure sensing member, actuator and
controller. The pressure sensing member is disposed in the
control valve and applies biasing force to the plunger
based on pressure in the external circuit. The biasing
force is applied to cancel change of the pressure in the
external circuit. The actuator is disposed in the control
valve and applies reverse force against the biasing force
to the plunger. The plunger is moved to increase the
displacement by the reverse force. The controller (72) controls
the actuator (61) to stepwise increase the reverse force by a
magnitude at which the electric motor is able to stably
drive the compressor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing or limiting damage to capillaries used to dispense microdrops measures the voltage produced by a piezoelectric transducer when the capillary contacts a solid surface or the phase shift occurring when the piezoelectric transducer is operated at its resonant frequency. After distinguishing the voltage created from such contact from the voltage produced from unrelated random sources, corrective action is taken, in one aspect by stopping the relative movement of the capillary and the surface being contacted. The method and apparatus may also be employed to determine the position of a solid or liquid surface. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus of the invention is used to detect contact of the capillary with very small liquid droplets.
