Abstract: The invention relates to an ammonia-, cyanide- and fluoride-free, and consequently environmentally acceptable electrolyte which is low in pollutants and which makes it possible to produce optically black layers on light metals or their alloys with a layer thickness of < 10  mu m and with almost identical optical absorptivity and thermal emissivity by means of ANOF processes. Compared with the hitherto known conversion layers obtained by the ANOF process, these layers have a substantially lower roughness number and consequently a lower particle generation. The use of the electrolyte in the ANOF process consequently provides a version of the coating method, in particular, for constructional parts or assemblies of complicated shape whose dimensional accuracy is subject to high requirements.

IPC: H02N2/04
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: This invention is for a single lamina twisting transducer made of an electrodeformable material. The twisting transducer has responsivity vectors which are curved or circular in nature so that when an electric field is applied the transducer will twist, exserting an angular force rather than a linear force as prior art transducers do. The twisting lamina can be stacked with a common electrode between them. The transducers can be used in actuators to provide angular forces in actuators. When combined in actuator stacks with linear transducers the actuator stack can be controlled in six degrees of freedom. Thus accurate moving and positioning of objects can be accomplished by use of such an actuator stack. Further since such an actuator stack is sensitive to accelerations in six degrees of freedom it can be used in making an accelerometer. Other uses for twisting actuators are for motors and rotational positioning of objects.

Abstract: A voltage reference circuit that produces an output offset from a supply voltage by approximately two volts, the output (VOUT) being relatively stable in the face of vacillations in the external power supplies. The first leg of the circuit utilizes devices (TPH1, TP1, TN1) having differing Vt's to produce an internal reference of one volt below Vdd. In a first embodiment of the invention, the second leg has a first device (TP2), wherein the gate receives the internal reference and the source is at the high power supply (VDD), and a high Vt diode connected device (TPH2). The two devices (TP2, TPH2) are matched to have the same overdrive current, which is at a voltage that is a function of the difference between the gate-to-source voltage of the first device and the threshold voltage of the first device. Thus, the output is a function of the overdrive to, and the diode drop across, the second high-Vt device.

Abstract: In known aspirator probes, horizontal displacement of a tip carried by the probe may occur at a dispensing station. Although the tip is accurately seated for dispensing a sample on to a test element, the tip can pivot on withdrawal of the probe from the seating arrangement. This pivoting movement can lead to "tip flick" - a problem in which the dispensed sample is not fully absorbed into the test element and the pivoting movement causes the residual liquid to be flicked off-center and as a consequence provides inaccurate analysis. Described herein is an improved aspirator probe (40A) which is pivotable about a pivot point (P) to allow for horizontal displacement error in seating the probe (40A). The amount of "tip flick" which occurs by pivoting the tip (48A) about the pivot point (P) as the probe 40A starts to withdraw from the seating is minimized by having the pivot point (P) located from a fulcrum (49A) at the seating, a distance (L) which is at least five times the length (ℓ) of the disposable tip (48A) measured from the fulcrum (49A).

Abstract: A method for allowing multiple users to simultaneously edit circuit wiring data, such as VLSI circuit data, is disclosed. The circuit data, contained in a computer database, is partitioned into a plurality of "parcels". Two types of wiring networks are identified within each parcel, internal and external. An internal network is completely enclosed within a parcel, whereas an external net spans two or more parcels. Each of the parcels may be simultaneously worked on by an individual user or circuit designer. Changes made to an internal wiring network has no impact on any of the other parcels. Changes made to an external wiring network does impact on other parcels which share the external network. A "design controller" is provided which restricts editing accessibility of an external network to one user at a time and locks out all other users. After changes are made to an external wiring network the database and the other parcels are updated to reflect the changes before the external network can be accessed again.
