IPC: G01B21/30

Abstract: An atomic force microscope is offered which is capable of
measuring the Q factor of the cantilever quickly. When the Q factor
is measured, a switch is closed. Under the initial condition of
resonance, a probe is in contact with a specimen. The cantilever
is in resonance. The output from an error amplifier is null. When
the specimen is started to be scanned, the resonance frequency
of the cantilever varies according to the physical properties
of the specimen portion contacting the probe. The phase of the
output signal from a low-pass filter is varied. Consequently,
the output voltage from a phase comparator varies. This produces
an inverted output voltage from the error amplifier. This output
voltage is added to a preset voltage and applied to a voltage
controlled oscillator. The cantilever is vibrated at its resonance
frequency at all times. Under this condition, the amplitude of
the cantilever is detected by an amplitude detector. Image creation
means converts the amplitude of the cantilever into the Q factor,
using a previously found calibration curve or sensitivity
coefficient.

height and pinion angle. The arm portions are secured to one another to retain the arm
portions in the configuration, such as by drilling holes and using fasteners (40) to secure
the arm portions to one another.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs de mesure non infractifs de la tension intra-oculaire par excitation vibratoire. Selon Les procédés utilisés à ce jour, les fréquences naturelles de l'oeil varient en fonction de la tension intra-oculaire, toute fréquence naturelle étant nulle lorsque la tension intraoculaire est elle-même nulle. La présente invention part du principe que l'oeil possède des classes de fréquences naturelles différentes et distinctes qui varient en fonction de la tension intra-oculaire, qui ont des valeurs non nulles pour une tension intra-oculaire nulle, et dont les courbes permettent, par extrapolation vers des valeurs de tension intra-oculaires négatives, d'obtenir des valeurs de fréquence nulles. Selon des procédés et des dispositifs préférés de la présente invention, on mesure une première fréquence naturelle de cette catégorie pour une valeur inconnue de la tension intra-oculaire, puis on la compare à une ou plusieurs valeurs connues de la première fréquence naturelle mesurée à des tensions intra-oculaires correspondantes connues pour estimer la valeur de la tension intra-oculaire inconnue. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, on mesure une ou plusieurs fréquences naturelles supplémentaires.

IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to testing structures or bodies to determine if they contain defects. The defects may be, for example, cracks, delamination etc. Conventional non-destructive testing exploits the non-linearities of such defects. The non-linearities produce intermodulation products in the form of side-bands of an excitation signal. The amplitudes of the side-bands are used to provide an indication of the structural health of the body. However, it has been found that such methods of testing bodies suffer from the vagaries of the environment, temperature and transducer manufacturing tolerances etc. This can lead to inaccurate test results. Suitably, embodiments of the present invention provide a method of determining the structural health of a body; the method comprising the steps of identifying at least one phase characteristic of a signal represented by first data, the first data being, or having been, derived from the body while bearing at least a guided wave, produced in response to application of a first excitation signal to the body, and a second excitation signal; and providing a measure of the structural health of the body using the at least one phase characteristic. More accurate testing can be performed that is independent of at least some of the above-mentioned vagaries by basing the assessment of the structural body on defect induced phase modulation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to decrease the amount of time it takes to obtain friendly
names of Bluetooth devices is presented. A name server caches friendly names for
devices that it has acquired from other devices or from other name servers. The name
server is any device that caches friendly names of Bluetooth devices and that makes the
friendly names available to other devices. A requesting device determines if a name
server has responded to an inquiry command. If a name server has responded, the device
gets the friendly names the name server has cached and requests the friendly names of
devices that responded that have not been cached by the name server. Identification of a
name server is accomplished by embedding a marker in the friendly name field after the
null character to indicate that the device is a name server.
