    摘要: A method of controlling the operation of a steam generator in a fabric treatment appliance may include setting an operational temperature for the steam generator based on calcification of the steam generator. A change in the calcification of the steam generator may be determined by behavior of the actual temperature of the steam generator in response to changing a flow rate of water supplied to the steam generator.

    摘要: A transmissive and/or reflective optical filter can receive input light, which can emanate from objects traveling along paths past the filter, e.g. from biological cells, viruses, colored spots or other markings on documents, and so forth. In response, the filter can provide output light in accordance with a combined transmission function that is approximately equal to a superposition or scaled superposition of a set of simpler transmission functions. The set can include two or more non-uniform transmission functions, a subset of which can be different from each other and positioned relative to each other so that the output light has time variation in accordance with each of the functions in the subset. The subset could include, for example, a random function and a periodic function, a chirp function and a periodic function, or any other suitable combination of two or more simpler functions.

    摘要: A filter arrangement can transmit and/or reflect light emanating from a moving object so that the emanating light has time variation, and the time variation can include information about the object, such as its type. For example, emanating light from segments of a path can be transmitted/reflected through positions of a filter assembly, and the transmission functions of the positions can be sufficiently different that time variation occurs in the emanating light between segments. Or emanating light from a segment can be transmitted/reflected through a filter component in which simpler transmission functions are superimposed, so that time variation occurs in the emanating light in accordance with superposition of two simpler non-uniform transmission functions. Many filter arrangements could be used, e.g. the filter component could include the filter assembly, which can have one of the simpler non-uniform transmission functions. Time-varying waveforms from sensing results can be compared to obtain spectral differences. The filter arrangement, in a practical commercial embodiment, can be manufactured to be disposable, and used in a point-of-care device for use practically anywhere, at low cost, and can also be implemented in an in-line monitoring system.

    摘要: In response to objects having relative motion within an encoding/sensing region relative to an encoder/sensor that, e.g., photosenses emanating light or performs impedance-based sensing, sensing results can indicate sensed time-varying waveforms with information about the objects, about their relative motion, about excitation characteristics, about environmental characteristics, and so forth. An encoder/sensor can include, for example, a non-periodic arrangement of sensing elements; a longitudinal sequence of sensing elements with a combined sensing pattern that approximates a superposition or scaled superposition of simpler sensing patterns; and/or IC-implemented sensing elements that include photosensing arrays on ICs and readout/combine circuitry that reads out photosensed quantities from cells in groups in accordance with cell-group sensing patterns and combines the readout photosensed quantities to obtain the sensing results. Objects can move fluidically as in flow cytometry, through scanning movement as in document scanning, or in other ways.

    摘要: An aerial cableway system with transportation devices, such as gondolas or lift chairs, is formed with two cable loops to which the transportation devices can be coupled and from which the transportation devices can be decoupled. A lower station, one or more middle stations, and an upper station are provided. A lower cable loop extends in the section from the lower station to the middle station and an upper cable loop extends from the middle station to the upper station. In the middle station the lower cable loop and the upper cable loop are guided about a shared guide device in the form of a double-groove pulley or two sandwiched single-groove pulleys.

    摘要: With many coated plates, in particular zinc (galvanized) and organic coated sheet metal as are employed in the automobile industry, the coating material has a significantly lower boiling point than the melting point of the sheet metal material. Therefore in the case of laser welding of this type of sheet metal with zero gap in the overlap abutment area to a explosion like vaporization of coating material, which take along or entrain molten sheet metal material and strongly damage the quality of the joint. For improving the connection it has already been proposed that no gap be provided between the sheets, but rather these are positioned directly over each other and then first by means of first laser beam to warm until vaporization of the coating and subsequently to weld the uncoated sheets by means of a second laser beam. The disadvantage therein is above all the elaborate apparatus set up or complexity for the two required optical systems. The task of the present invention is thus comprised therein, to reduce the apparatus complexity and at the same time to at least maintain the work quality, preferably to improve it. The task is solved by a process in which by means of a signal laser beam first all plates can be uncoated and thereafter the plates are welded along the uncoated area with the same laser beam.

    摘要: When laser beam welding one or more work pieces faults may occur, which lead to unacceptable losses in quality. For quality assurance, both subjective visual inspections as well as automated checks of the seam are the norm. In the automated processes the work site is conventionally monitored during welding using point or surface detectors (cameras). This type of process can not detect faults which do not occur until after the actual interaction of laser beam and work piece, in particular, solidification phenomena. Beyond this, certain irregularities relevant to quality are not recognized, since relevant process signals are overridden by stronger signals of the process illumination with no information value. It is the task of the present invention to provide a check process, which reliably recognizes seam faults. This task is solved in a process for checking of the seam which is introduced into one or more workpieces by means of laser beam welding, wherein characteristic signals are detected from the region of the seam using a sensor and compared with an index value or set value, and wherein only signals are taken into consideration which are detected in a characteristic time interval following the laser beam welding, which begins, at the earliest, following the solidification of the seam.

    摘要: The system includes a simple system for CD4 and CD8 counting in point-of-care HIV staging within resource poor countries. Unlike previous approaches, no sample preparation is required with the sample added directly to a chip containing dried reagents by capillary flow. A large area image cytometer consisting of an LED module is used to excite the fluorochromes PerCP and APC labeled targets and a monochrome CCD camera with a combination of two macro lenses captures images of 40 mm2 of blood (approximately 1 microliter). CD4 and CD8-T-lymphocyte counts correlate well with those obtained by flow cytometry. The cytometer system described in the present invention provides an affordable and easy-to-use technique for use in remote locations.
