    摘要: A fluid transport system for moving flexible objects includes a conveyor configured to direct fluid flow against opposite sides of flexible objects. A sensor unit senses motion state of flexible objects, and a motion analysis unit is connected to the sensor unit to calculate relative or absolute movement of flexible objects based on the motion state. Overall movement, position, velocity, and orientation of flexible objects can be determined, as well as internal movement of the object attributable to flexure or edge curling. A motion control unit is connected to the motion analysis unit to modify fluid flow directed against opposite sides of flexible objects, accurately adjusting motion of flexible objects.

    摘要: A variable fluid flow valve is disclosed. The valve can be batch fabricated in two dimensional valve arrays, with all valves in the array being controlled in parallel to achieve high flow rates without increasing response time. Typically, each valve includes a valve housing having an aperture plate defining an elongated aperture therethrough, and an opposing plate positioned in spaced apart relationship to the aperture plate. In one embodiment a flexible film or strip is attached at its first end to the aperture plate and at its second end to the opposing plate. In another embodiment of the invention, the flexible film is attached at only one end and is free to move at the other end. In both types of valves, valve action is provided by using electrodes to variably move the flexible film from an aperture blocking to an aperture non-blocking position. The flexible film may be moved in a continuously variable manner or a discretely variable manner, depending upon the electrode configuration. Binary valves in matrixes may also be used with the elongated opening.

    摘要: A PC board actuator that emulates a muscle fiber includes a first pressure source, a second pressure source lower than the first source, at least one expansion chamber alternately communicating with the first and second pressure sources, first and second valves mounted with the PC board that opens and closes the chamber with respect to the first and second pressure sources, and an actuator member interacting with the expansion chamber to apply a force to the object. The actuator is preferably formed using planar batch technology and the valves preferably comprise electrically controllable flap valves mounted on the PC board. Alternatively, the actuator includes antagonistically arranged expansion chambers that operatively apply reciprocating forces to the object. In other embodiments, the actuator includes plural expansion chambers arranged in series or in parallel in order to increase the overall extent of attainable displacement or to amplify the force generated by the actuator.

    摘要: Bands of predetectors (92) detect the approach of lines of glyphs (12, 14) within an image being scanned. Linear lines or arrays of glyph detectors (116, 118, 120) are sampled in accordance with the detected approach of lines of glyphs. Each detector array includes a plurality of analog glyph detectors (20, 50) which respond to the presence of glyphs with a characteristic analog output. Preferably, the glyph detectors generate a corresponding analog output of a first polarity or other characteristic in response to glyphs of a first orientation and an output of a second polarity or characteristic in response to glyphs of a second orientation. The analog signals which are characteristic of the detection of a glyph are converted into binary 1's and 0's in accordance with the polarity or other characteristic of the signals. In this manner, glyphs are detected by analog detectors and the information encoded in the glyphs is directly output as a binary signal without computer analysis of the image.

    摘要: A sensor array includes includes multiple sensor elements that each have a collection electrode in contact with a photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer is configured to produce a detectable response at the collection electrode upon incidence of radiation in a responsive zone of the photosensitive layer. A gate electrode layer is separated from the photosensitive layer by a dielectric layer, with adjustments to voltage applied to the gate electrode layer inducing changes in areal extent of the responsive zone of the photosensitive layer. Changing the size of the responsive zone permits performance of image convolutions for edge detection, data compression, or other Gaussian convolutions by the sensor array, rather than by post-detection electronics.
