摘要： Adaptive transmission of a tag activation signal and detection of a tag. By monitoring the effects of a load on a tag activation signal, a signal analyzer adjusts the transmission waveform from which the signal is generated so that the next tag activation signal transmitted into the load more closely corresponds to a desired activation signal.

摘要： A snap ring having improved retention characteristics is configured for use inside a cylindrical cavity. The cavity includes a retention device having a retention surface forming an obtuse angle with the cavity wall. As an axial load is applied to the snap ring, it moves along the retention surface, thereby experiencing a reduction in diameter. The snap ring includes a circumferential discontinuity defined by two generally radial planar surfaces, or ring ends. The discontinuity is configured such that the ring ends will abut one another before the snap ring diameter is reduced beyond the retaining diameter.

摘要： A method for controlling signal decay of a transmitted signal within a transmitter is described. The method includes measuring an amount of current induced back into the transmitter by the decaying signal, and using the current measurement to control the decay of the signal after the signal is transmitted from the load. A transmitter for an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system is also described which includes a current sensing circuit configured to at least sense an amount of current induced back into the transmitter by the load after transmission of the signal, and a transmitter control circuit configured to utilize the sensed current to determine an amount and a polarity of current to be applied to the load to reduce the induced current to a desired value.

摘要： Automatic tuning of an EAS antenna pedestal without the use of special tools or advanced training is provided. The capacitance of the antenna circuit is adjusted to tune the resonant frequency to the desired frequency. Measurement of the current level is used to validate that the antenna is resonant at the desired frequency. If the current level indicates that the antenna is not resonant at the specified frequency, LEDs located on a capacitor tuning board light to indicate where jumpers should be placed to add or remove capacitance from the circuit. Alternately, the capacitance values can be electronically added or removed from the circuit.

摘要： A combination mole trap and choke for use with the mole trap. The choke effectively functions to reduce the size of the opening through which the mole passes. The choke ensures that upon passage of a mole through a tunnel, the trap will activate thereby causing the jaws to come together on the mole. The choke may be removably or permanently secured to the free end of a trip-pan which integrally forms a part of the mole trap.

摘要： An apparatus to generate an endpoint signal to control the polishing of thin films on a semiconductor wafer surface includes a through-hole in a polish pad, a light source, a fiber optic cable, a light sensor, and a computer. A pad assembly includes the polish pad, a pad backer, and a pad backing plate. The pad backer includes a pinhole and a canal that holds the fiber optic cable. The pad backer holds the polish pad so that the through-hole is coincident with the pinhole opening. A wafer chuck holds a semiconductor wafer so that the surface to be polished is against the polish pad. The light source provides light within a predetermined bandwidth. The fiber optic cable propagates the light through the through-hole opening to illuminate the surface as the pad assembly orbits and the chuck rotates. The light sensor receives reflected light from the surface through the fiber optic cable and generates reflected spectral data. The computer receives the reflected spectral data and calculates an endpoint signal. For metal film polishing, the endpoint signal is based upon the intensities of two individual wavelength bands. For dielectric film polishing, the endpoint signal is based upon fitting of the reflected spectrum to an optical reflectance model to determine remaining film thickness. The computer compares the endpoint signal to predetermined criteria and stops the polishing process when the endpoint signal meets the predetermined criteria.
