Patent EP-0864390-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROEHM GUENTER HORST
IPC: B23B31/12
Filed: 1997-12-11
Abstract: The chuck has a chuck body (1) that turns on a drill spindle and jaws (4), which are moved between the open and shut positions by a clamping ring (10) turning on the chuck body. The ring is locked by a locking member (17) on a coaxial inertia ring (19) turning on the body and engaging in a ring (15) of locking recesses. A coaxial setting ring (20) turns on the body in relation to the drag ring and between stops, moving the locking member between the engaged and disengaged positions in relation to the locking recesses. The setting ring turns in either direction from the central locking position to free the locking member. A spring (29) between the setting and drag rings returns the former to the central position after it has been turned in the tightening direction. This spring can be accommodated in a curved recess in the inertia ring, which is coaxial to the chuck, while a lug (30) on the setting ring protrudes into the recess.

Abstract: This invention relates to the field of cutting hard materials. More particularly, the invention describes a method and apparatus for cutting diamond. 
     The method for cutting diamond according to the present invention, comprises the steps of providing a wire; heating said wire; and urging said wire and diamond together and moving said wire longitudinally. 
     Preferably, the wire and/or diamond is heated to approach the metal-carbon eutectic temperature and create sensible reaction rates of the carbon on the wire surface. The wire can also carry a molten oxidant to enhance the cutting rate.

Abstract: A method and device for acquiring data related to topography of a medium (14 and 44) includes projecting light, allowably from more than one direction, onto the surface of the medium at an angle (112 and 114) of less than sixteen degrees relative to the surface and imaging the surface. For example, the imaging sensor (24 and 26; 73) may be an array of sensor elements that is used to determine navigation of a hand-held scanner along an original. By introducing light at an angle of less than sixteen degrees, surface irregularities cast shadows that form a high contrast illumination pattern along the surface of the medium. The navigation sensor detects multi-element variations (64) of intensity of scattered light from the surface with respect to positions along the surface, so that the Nyquist criteria are adequately satisfied. Typically, the light is collimated incoherent light, but this is not critical. The illumination angle can be established by using a prism (31; 38). The prism may have an antireflective thin film coating on one or more prism faces. The employment of a prism provides a number of advantages, such as use of a transparent surface in contact with the media and raising the illumination source(s) away from the media.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for detection of low to moderate impedance short circuits on any driven line (P1-Pn) of a thermal ink jet printer to inhibit damage to printer driver circuitry (60), principally active elements thereof. The printer includes a printhead (28) having a plurality of thermally activated print nozzles therein for ink ejection upon thermal agitation of the ink within the nozzle. The printer also includes data drive lines (P1-Pn) driven by data line drivers (60) and address drive lines driven by address line drivers for selection and activation of nozzle heater active elements associated with each of the nozzles by effecting current flow through a heater element associated with each of said nozzles upon selection by associated address and data line activation. One method includes the steps of energizing one of a data line (P1-Pn) and address lines associated with at least one thermal ink jet nozzle on the printhead (28), detecting a lower than normal impedance on the energized line (P1-Pn), and inhibiting further activation or energization of at least one of the data and address line drivers. The inhibiting step may be accomplished, for example, by disabling the power supply (44) associated with driver (60) associated with the line having lower than normal impedance and/or by preventing the printer driver circuit from providing data and/or address signals to the printhead (28).

Abstract: In a trench-based IGBT having a vertical MOS gate set in the side wall of a trench, the voltage breakdown performance can be less than optimum due to the occurrence of high electric field gradients at the edges of the device. An electrically conductive region, which encircles the active region of the device, extends into the substrate of the device to the depth of the bottom of the trench. This electrically conductive region is a semiconductor material having a conductivity type opposite to that of the region underlying the trench. This provides a much improved immunity to electrical breakdown.

Abstract: Two approaches are provided for achieving an optical amplifier system capable of producing high peak power, high energy pulse outputs while suppressing scattering noise. The first approach relates to an optical amplifier system which has at least one laser diode pulsed or cw pumped double clad fiber amplifier utilized for receiving a high frequency modulated injected signal pulse of short duration from the laser diode, via the fiber core, for amplification by coupling pump light into the inner cladding of the fiber. The average signal power is sufficient to saturate the gain of the fiber so as to minimize significant onset and buildup of forward and backward scattering noise. The duty cycle of the injected signal source pulse is chosen to allow adequate gain recovery in the fiber amplifier between pulses. The second approach relates to a cascaded optical amplifier system having at least two optical amplifying stages with two pulsed pump sources provided and two amplifying media, the first of which receives the injection and at least one pump signal wherein the injection pulsed signal is amplified to a first power and energy level. The second amplifying medium, optically coupled to the first, amplifies the first level signal to a second level amplified, injection pulsed signal. The duty cycle of the injection pulsed optical signal is synchronized with the first and second pulsed pump signals with the first pulsed pump signal having a different duration in the duty cycle than the second pulsed pump signal.

Abstract: The method is based on consensus analysis of classifications at the object level carried out by learning Systems. To determine persons or groups of persons ability to analyze details, e.g. in visual objects, digitized images of the objects are feed into a computer, where each image is assigned a number of characteristics, N out of Q possible. Some of the characteristics in the images are being selected, after which a person is set to identify the images by determination of the characteristics. The same image in a series of images is presented for the person several times, and if the person is capable to distinguish the images from each other, and furthermore reach the same results with the same images, then the person possess good abilities for type determination of reference signals, e.g. in form of images. The invention is suitable to identify persons, who are gifted for analysis of e.g. biological samples, such as images of semen samples, cancer cells, etc.

Abstract: An air-communicated opening (8a) of an ink cartridge (8) connected to an ink jet
recording head (7) is sealed to apply negative pressure from the suction means (11) to the
recording head (7) through a capping unit (10). Ink is forcibly discharged from the
recording head (7) until the internal pressure of the ink cartridge (8) is brought into a
condition of equilibrium with the sucking pressure of the suction means (11). Thus, air
bubbles are discharged to the outside by force of the flow of ink. Then, the pressure of the
ink in the ink cartridge (8) is reduced to the sucking pressure to raise the degree of
deaeration of the ink.
