摘要:
A method and device to determine the relative reference position for an angle measurement of an object within an angle scale covering the round angle of the entire rotation of the object and divided into several angle areas of equal size on an exposed target area on or attached to the object of which an illuminated orbit is scanned. A significant deviation of the beam characteristics at least one point on the orbit forms a reference signal, which is coupled to the angle value of an angle scale to determine the reference angle position on the object.

An acoustic transducer, especially adapted for hydrophones, is disclosed. The transducer comprises a piezoelectric ceramic disk with a main or signal electrode, a common electrode and a feedback electrode; negative feedback is provided around an associated amplifier and the transducer. The transducer is useful in either a sonic receiver or a sonic transmitter. Various ceramic disk configurations are disclosed and several electrode configurations are disclosed. The negative feedback minimizes the undesired effects of the high Q characteristic of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer. The transducer exhibits improved frequency response characteristics including increased bandwidth and reduced resonance effects, fixed or linear phase shift over a broad range and improved transient response. Also, the effect of normal manufacturing variations upon sensitivity, frequency and phase response is minimized.

A socket (10) is described for housing similar integrated circuits (#1, #2). The socket (10) comprises a center support (14) which includes integral end panels (14a, 14b). The center support further includes a plurality of upstanding separators (42, 44) which form a plurality of recesses (46, 48). Side panels (18, 20) are joined to the center support to form first and second chambers (23, 24). A bottom plate (16) is connected to the center support (14) and side panels (18, 20). A lead frame (22) is positioned within the first and second chambers to provide metallic strips within the recesses (46, 48). In certain of the recesses the metallic strips extend from corresponding recesses in the two chambers (23, 24) and connect to a respective socket lead (12). In other selected recesses a metallic strip extends directly to connect to a package lead (12) such that there is no direct connection between common recesses. The integrated circuits (#1, #2) are positioned within the chambers (23, 24) such that the leads of the integrated circuits (#1, #2) are received within the recesses (46, 48). Certain leads of the devices (#1, #2) are connected in common to a socket lead (12) while other leads of the devices (#1, #2) are connected independently to socket leads (12) such that the two devices (#1, #2) can be operated independently.

An apparatus includes a memory unit, a microcontroller, a first communication port providing a first communication path between the apparatus and a computer system, and a second communication port providing a second communication path between the apparatus and a peripheral device. The peripheral device is also communicatively linked with the computer system via a third communication path that bypasses the apparatus. Control of the peripheral device is subject to the apparatus.

An electric machine incorporates a brush assembly that provides an audible warning when the brush in the brush assembly approaches the end of its useable length. The brush incorporates a device incorporated into the brush or a brush design which cooperates with the brush holder to generate the noise. The noise provides a warning to the user of the electric machine that the useable length of the brush material is near.

A method for generating mask data includes receiving a set of routing definitions that enable conductor routing schemes having the same cell pitch, identifying locations in response to a characteristic of the set, presenting a representation of a portion of the mask data and applying a select member of the set of routing definitions to locate and size conductors modeled in the mask data. A design tool includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores routing definitions that enable conductor routing schemes having the same cell pitch. The processor receives an input identifying a select routing definition from the set of routing definitions. The processor executes logic that generates an array of points responsive to a characteristic of the routing definitions. The processor further executes logic configured to constrain the relative location and width of conductors in the integrated circuit.

Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a non-dusting copper pyrithione dispersion comprising small solid particles of copper pyrithione dispersed in a liquid dispersant, said solid particles having a particle size within a range of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns and a median particle size of from 0.2 to less than 0.5 microns. The dispersion is suitably employed as an antifouling additive for marine paints without risking worker exposure to copper pyrithione dust. Paints containing the small particle copper pyrithione exhibit improved antifouling performance in cold water, as compared to paint containing larger particle copper pyrithione.

An infrared photodetector includes at least two quantum well layers with depths adjusted to provide different peak spectral responses. A readout circuit includes first and second charge wells for receiving moving charges from the photodetector. The readout circuit also includes a switching mechanism for selectively switching the second charge well in parallel with the first charge well, to vary the integration time of the moving charges. Switching the second charge well in parallel with the first charge well increases the dynamic range of the system. The switching can be based on one or more of a) a range to a target that is being detected by the photodetector, b) a brightness (e.g. in the infrared range) of the target, c) a rate charge of the first charge well, and d) a remaining capacity of the first charge well.

An infrared photodetector focal plane array includes large dynamic range Read Out Integrated Circuits. Increased dynamic ranges are achieved in each ROIC of the array using switched capacitor filter arrangements that include a single “cup” capacitor and at least two “bucket” capacitors. Dynamic range is improved by controlling the ratio of the current to voltage transfer resistance gains between the “cup” capacitor and each “bucket” capacitor of the filter. With an increased dynamic range, the switched capacitor filter arrangement allows the focal plane array to adequately resolve the infrared radiation received from both hot and cold objects.
摘要:
A circuit and method of implementing a digital read-only memory (ROM) utilizes a means for selectively driving one of two complementary logic state signal lines to a voltage reference upon a readout signal for an addressable bit becoming active. Each complementary logic state signal line represents one of two logic states. The logic state of the addressed bit is determined by which of the two complementary logic state signal lines is driven. The logic level of each complementary logic state signal line is then inverted and driven onto the other so that both signal lines will be driven to their proper logic state, thereby allowing either signal line to be used in ascertaining the logic state of the bit being addressed.
