A system and method for improving linearity of data outputted from an analog-to-digital converter and reducing digitization artifacts, is provided. A noise generator is provided for generating noise and adding the noise to at least one code word that is introduced to the system, wherein the at least one code word comprises a unitary portion and a fractional portion, the noise being added to the fractional portion of the at least one code word. A storage device is also located within the system for storing the at least one code word, and a high threshold and a low threshold for each of the at least one code word. The storage device is capable of outputting the high threshold and the low threshold of the at least one code word as a result of receiving the unitary portion of the at least one code word, wherein the low threshold and the high threshold, in combination with the fractional portion, are utilized to derive linear digital data having a uniform resolution.

A device for detecting the rotational movement of an element which is rotatably seated around an axis, the device including a material measure that rotates about an axis of rotation. A first measuring graduation provided on the material measure and which scans along a first direction, which has a component along the axis of rotation and a second measuring graduation provided on the material measure, wherein both the first measuring graduation and the second measuring graduation surround the axis of rotation in a ring shape, and which can be scanned along the first direction and a second direction that is linearly independent of the first direction. At least three measuring heads, which are spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction which surrounds the axis of rotation, are assigned to each of the first measuring graduation and the second measuring graduation for scanning the first measuring graduation and the second measuring graduations.

A novel guide is disclosed for fixing to a cutting tool for cutting a piece of sheet material having a plurality of fiducial lines marked thereon. The guide has a set of alignment marks and a plurality of measurement scales associated with the alignment marks. Each measurement scale corresponds to at least one of the fiducial lines, such that when one of the alignment marks is aligned with a particular fiducial line, the measurement scale corresponding to the particular fiducial line indicates the distance of the blade of the cutting tool from an edge of the sheet material. Particular embodiments of the guide include a flat portion attached to the front of the cutting tool, or alternately, a laser guide rotatably fixed to the front of the cutting tool. Novel methods for cutting a predetermined distance from an edge of a piece of sheet material using the guides of the present invention is also disclosed.

The tool for locating a center mark for embroidery on articles such as garments includes a planar body having orthogonally-related legs with respective exterior and interior edges. Index markings are provided on the legs along the linear edges. The index markings include indicia identifying a plurality of corresponding preestablished garment sizes along the linear extending edges, respectively. By aligning common selected sizes along the edges with the vertical centerline of a folded garment and a shoulder portion of the garment, respectively, the location of the embroiderer's center mark on the garment is identified at the intersection of the linear edges. The interior edges of the tool may also used to form marking lines where conventional hoop grids are not available.

The speed and precision in positioning a moving table in the X-axis and Y-axis directions is enhanced dramatically. An X-Y stage apparatus is provided, in which a moving table is supported relative to a stationary base, with slight displacements made possible within the XY plane, and in which a component mounted and placed on the moving table can be positioned within the XY plane. The X-Y stage apparatus includes an elastic hinge that is flexible only in one or two direction among the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, and rigid in directions of the other axes. The moving table is supported relative to the stationary base with slight displacements made possible in the XY plane, using an elastic deformation of each of the elastic hinges in the flexible direction. Furthermore, the moving table can be slightly displaced within the XY plane, using an X-axis linear motor, and a Y-axis linear motor.
摘要:
A rotation angle detector that is able to detect an absolute rotation angle of a detection body accurately and is able to reduce the installation space required. The rotation angle detector includes a first rotation angle detector (15) connected to the detection body for generating a first detection signal having a cycle corresponding to the rotation of the detection body. The first rotation angle detector includes a first rotating body (13) which is connected to the detection body and rotates together with the detection body. The detector includes a second rotation angle detector (20) connected to the first rotation angle detector. The second rotation angle detector includes a second rotating body (16) that rotates together with the first rotating body at a speed greater than that of the first rotating body, and generates a second detection signal having a cycle corresponding to the rotation of the second rotating body. The control device (22) detects an absolute rotation angle of the detection body based on the first detection signal and the second detection signal.

First slits constituting a first slit array are formed in a circumferential side portion of a cylindrical code plate so as to be arranged in the circumferential direction of the code plate. Second slits constituting a second slit array are also formed in the circumferential side portion. The first slit array and the second slit array are arranged along the rotation axis of the code plate. First and second detecting units are provided for the first slit array and a third detecting unit is provided for the second slit array. In the first and second detecting units, a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element are disposed so that part of the circumferential side portion is interposed in between. The positions of the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are set identical when measured along the circumference of the code plate, and a dimension null of the light-emitting element that is located inside the code plate is set smaller than a dimension null of the light-receiving element.

An anchor system for flexible marker posts comprises an anchor that receives a post before the anchor is driven into the ground. In one version of the anchor system, a V-shaped configuration folded along two longitudinal side axes and one lower lateral axis. This version has front and rear plates, and the rear plate has and combines with two flanges to define a narrow pocket that receives the post. The post is secured in the pocket by deforming the pocket with punches. The anchor is retained in the earth by mechanical interference and friction. Additional embodiments include plates that are pre-bent into a V-shape, tabs for maintaining separation of the plates, and a one-piece anchor having a V-shaped lower portion and coplanar, horizontal, upper surfaces connected to the upper edges of the lower portion.
