    摘要: A flexible and/or stretchable “test data sheet” is provided for recording technical parameters associated with various industrial equipment. The test data sheet includes a flexible and/or stretchable substrate, a microprocessor disposed on the substrate, a memory disposed on the substrate, a power source disposed on the substrate, and one or more sensors of various types disposed on the substrate (e.g., temperature sensors, photodiodes/imaging sensors, impact/force sensors, accelerometers, etc.). The test data sheet optionally may include one or more ports or communication interfaces to facilitate wired or wireless communication to/from the data sheet. The test data sheet is coupled (e.g., applied to) an arbitrarily-shaped surface associated with a piece of industrial equipment, a tool, a pipe, etc., and the test data sheet conforms to as to facilitate intimate proximity to the surface. In this manner, the test data sheet may be in the form of an electronic sticker or decal. The elastic nature of the test data sheet permits it to accommodate vibrations, stretching, change of shape, etc. Of the surface itself, and harsh conditions associated with same, while nonetheless maintaining the data sheet's electronic functionality.

    摘要: The invention is a multi-channel position detection system which utilizes several separate emitters and a single photodetector to, for example, align a multi-lead component manipulator with a predetermined location in a printed circuit board. An oscillator circuit generates a modulated signal for each emitter and a multiplier circuit develops an output signal based upon the oscillator output and the photodetector output. The photodetector provides an output responsive to the emitter signal as attenuated by the circuit board location relative to the emitter. When the lead hole of the circuit board is aligned with the emitter and photodetector minimum attenuation of the signal occurs.
