Abstract:
@ In a control system for an inductive load, the actual current in the inductive load is maintained within a small range of an ideal current. When used to control an inductive load such as an electric motor, an H-bridge type configuration of serially connected pairs of photosensitive switches and diodes is used to apply voltages to the inductive load. A control circuit which preferably includes an operational amplifier generates the necessary signals to operate the switches such that the actual current closely approximates the ideal current.

The invention relates to a process for treating waste solutions and rinse waters, especially those from electroless plating processes, to remove organometallic complexes and complexing agents, particularly copper and copper-EDTA complexes by eluting the waste solutions through anionic exchange resins.
Abstract:
In a multi-color printing process, measurements of the optical density of two different three-color halftone control areas are used to calculate dot gain and solid density of the cyan, magenta and yellow images. Since no single-color solid control targets are used, control targets may be hidden or camouflaged in a border or logo in the final printed product. The two control targets can consist of light and dark near-neutral gray balance targets. Alternatively, two different three-color half-tone regions of the printed image can be used as control areas, eliminating the need for separate control targets. Densitometers having blue, green and red filters use the two three-color halftone control areas to provide density measurements which are used by a computer to calculate the densities of cyan, magenta and yellow halftone images. The computer then calculates the dot gain and solid density of the process inks, which are displayed to a pressman who can make appropriate adjustments to the printing process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to permanent magnet rotor brushless high performance servo motors and to the design and manufacture of such motors making efficient use of high energy product magnets having an energy product in excess of 20 MGOe. The interpole distance to the radial air gap is greater than 1.3 and the ratio of permanent magnet length to air gap length is in the range of from 0.5 to 2.0. The winding is arranged in the air gap and secured to the inner surface of the slotless back iron cylindrical stator shell by encapsulation in a resin having a flexural strength of at least 140 kg/em" at 250°C and high thermal conductivity and a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of the other materials of the stator structure. The stator winding is formed on a cylindrical temporary support with reduced diameter on one side using preformed coils. The end turns at the end of the temporary support with reduced diameter flare inwardly, whereas the end turns at the other end flare outwardly. The support with the winding is inserted into the stator shell starting with the inwardly flared end turns and is withdrawn from the side of the stator shell with the outwardly flared end turns. The motor of the invention, compared to a servo motor of approximately the same physical dimensions, produces an increase of about 70% in continuous performance and with respect to intermit- tant performance an increase of 80% with only 30% increase of the permanent magnet material.
Abstract:
In an electric motor having a plurality of magnets bonded to a rotor hub, a composite sleeve is disposed over the rotor hub/magnet assembly. The composite sleeve may be wound directly upon the rotor hub, or may be wound upon a mandrel and slid over the rotor hub/magnet assembly.
Abstract:
L'espace compris entre deux surfaces, tel que l'espace compris entre un disque en verre (14) et un curseur ou tête magnétique (12), est mesuré en dirigeant de la lumière d'une source (18) de lumière à large spectre sur les deux surfaces, et en combinant la lumière reflétée. La lumière à différentes fréquences est combinée de manière constructive et destructive. Les signaux combinés sont analysés à un grand nombre de fréquences, afin de donner un graphique de l'intensité par rapport à la longueur d'onde, et l'on identifie la ou les longueurs d'onde d'intensité maximale (et d'interférence constructive) et/ou d'intensité minimale (d'interférence destructive).
Abstract:
An improved process for selective metallization of insulating substrates, as for example in the manufacture of wire scribed interconnection boards, is claimed. The substrates optionally include one or more metallized holes or cavities for electrical connections. The process comprises applying an insulating, hydrophobic mask onto the surface of a suitable insulating substrate so as to leave exposed selected areas to be metallized, contacting the substrate with an activator solution for a time period sufficient to deposit a catalytic species onto the exposed areas of the substrate and the mask and on the walls of the holes or cavities, thereby rendering them catalytic to the reception of metal, preferentially removing essentially all of the catalytic species from the hydrophobic mask by contacting the substrate with a chelating agent in an alkaline solution having a pH between 10 and 14 for a time period sufficient to remove essentially all of said catalytic species from the mask, and then contacting the substrate with an electroless metal plating solution to metallize only the exposed catalytic areas of the substrate not protected by the hydrophobic mask.
Abstract:
57 A variable frequency AC induction motor servo control system is described wherein slip is momentarily increased in response to error signal transients. In a preferred embodiment, a phase shift is introduced in the energizing stator current as the servo velocity error signal increases over at least the lower portion of the error signal range, the maximum phase shift being between 45° and 90°.
