Abstract: Boring bar (19,20) vibration damping is improved by a novel use of the electromechanical properties of the piezoelectric actuator material (17). A negative capacitance shunt circuit (35) is provided in which a voltage-controlled voltage-source continuously simulates a negative capacitance that is substantially equal in magnitude but opposite in phase to the capacitance of the piezoelectric material (17). The negative capacitance is shunted across the piezoelectric device (17), effectively compensating for the capacitance of the device across a broad frequency band. The voltages generated in the piezoelectric element in response to mechanical deformation induced by broadband vibrations of the structure during damping operations, may then be completely resistively dissipated., thereby enhancing the mechanical damping.

Abstract: A machine vision system and method of enhancing the imaging of an article which is comprised of optically translucent or semi-transparent material. Generally, the system includes a vision processor, a video camera, a computer, and an illuminator. The illuminator directs light, in a three dimensional space, at a surface of the material other than a surface to be imaged. The light which enters the translucent material is scattered isotropically within the material and emerges from the surface to be imaged, in effect illuminating the material. The illumination enhances contrast, that can be typically achieved with conventional lighting, between the material and its background or adjoining components permitting the machine vision system to clearly image and detect features of the article.

Abstract: The mixer (83) of the mixer-cartridge assembly comprises a housing (84), an inlet section (85) having an individual inlet (87, 88) for each outlet (33, 34) of the cartridge (30) and a mixer element group (3). The mixer inlet section comprising separating means (3S) and the mixer element group (3) are arranged thus, that while sealingly connecting the mixer to the cartridge, the inlets (87, 88) of the mixer remain aligned with the corresponding and matching outlets of the cartridge as well as with the separating means (3S) and with the dividing element (3D) of the mixer element group (3) for optimizing the mixing of the components. For mixer attachment, the mixer housing comprises bayonet lugs (89) cooperating with bayonet prongs (15) on the cartridge, whereby the housing is rotated while the mixer inlet section, separating means and element group do not rotate in regard to the cartridge outlets, thus avoiding cross-contamination of the components at the cartridge/mixer interface and assuring continued separation well into the mixer up to the first dividing element (3D).

Abstract: The remote inspection of seam welds in reactor vessels is improved through the utilization of a pulser network which is inductively isolated from the transducer circuit to which it applies an excitation signal. Through the utilization of a step-up transformer, the pulser network may perform in conjunction with linear d.c. power supplies of lower voltage rating. The inductive coupling between circuits also serves to provide for the positive commutation off of switching devices such as SCRs employed for excitation signal triggering. To avoid ground path induced noise, a different ground path is employed for the pulser network as for the transducer circuit. The transducer circuit ground path is that associated with a manipulator and, for example, a reactor vessel itself. Thus, the transducers employed may come in contact with the surface of the vessel being inspected. In similar fashion, an inductive coupling is provided between the transducer circuit and a pre-amplfying receiver circuit This same inductive coupling may be employed to enhance the impedance match between the FET-based amplification stage and the impedance defining components of the transducer circuit.

Abstract: The door has a door panel of one or more parts movable between open and closed positions. The drive shaft of the drive system (6,9) is connected to the door panel (2) whose distance moved is reproduced proportionately as a sequence of pulses (16) derived from rotation of a shaft in the drive system. The pulses are fed to a counter in an evaluation circuit (17,18) whose state is compared with stored values for previously entered door panel positions. When the signals coincide, the position signals are evaluated to produce control signals. A detector (11) of supply current variations in the running d.c. motor's commutator (10) produces the pulse sequence at its output.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for evaluating the contamination over the surface of a substrate for use in manufacturing semiconductor devices, liquid crystal devices and so on, said contamination being caused by gaseous contaminants, for instance airborne organic substances or the equivalent in the clean room atmosphere. For evaluation, there is measured with passage of time in the atmosphere having a substantially constant relative humidity the surface resistivity (Rs) of the substrate 104 by bringing electrodes 106 into close contact with an insulating film as formed on said substrate surface, or a contact angle (α) of a liquid-drop 207 dropped on the substrate 206. From this measurement, the degree of said contamination is judged by comparing the value of the surface resistivity or contact angle as measured immediately after rinsing the substrate, with the values of the same as measured after exposing the substrate to the objective atmosphere to be evaluated.

Abstract: A communications system (30) includes a transceiver (42) for transmitting data from a plurality of bins. Specifically, the BER of the bins is substantially equalized by allocating data by determining a projected margin. The projected margin is calculated for each bin by subtracting a reference signal-to-noise value from an estimated bin signal-to-noise value. The reference signal-to-noise value is predetermined by theoretical calculation or empirical data and stored in a look-up table. Bits are allocated to the bin having the maximum projected margin. This provides the best BER without changing the transmit power.
