    摘要: Apparatus for sampling a material in a container both in a laboratory environment and in a field environment is shown. The apparatus includes a portable pump for generating either a partial pressure with respect to atmosphere or a partial vacuum with respect to atmosphere. The partial vacuum is used to force the material from the container through a collection tube into a specimen bottle. When the material in the container is too viscous to be directly drawn into the specimen bottle, a pressure is applied to one end of the collection tube and the material in the collection tube is driven into the specimen bottle. The footpump is modified to provide both a pressure and a vacuum nozzle and is easily portable to a remote location site.

    摘要: An automatic gain control (AGC) system includes at least one variable-gain component having a controllable gain over a gain control range and a sensor for sensing an amplitude of a signal from the at least one variable-gain control component. The sensor may have an operating window based upon the signal that is smaller than the gain control range of the at least one variable-gain component. The AGC system may also include a controller responsive to the sensor for controlling the at least one variable-gain component according to coarse and fine gain values to set the amplitude of the signal within the operating window of the sensor. The controller may implement at least one coarse gain jump from a current coarse gain value to a new coarse gain value when the sensor indicates the amplitude is outside the operating window. The controller may further implement movement to a fine gain value when the sensor indicates the amplitude is in the operating window.

    摘要: A dual cantilevered electromagnet-based gripping mechanism has a reduced number of parts and operates with low power demand properties for use in micro-tool applications. Juxtaposed, cantilever-supported electromagnets, to which object engagement elements, such as gripping pincers, are attached, have their cores made of a low permeability material, such as stainless steel, that does not retain an induced magnetic field once the energizing current is terminated. By controlling the energizing current through the coils of the electromagnets, the magnitude of mutual magnetic attraction against the spring forces of their supporting cantilever arms is defined. This allows mutual separation between the electromagnets and object engagement force to be controlled, for seizure, retention, and release of an object. The displacement vs. current characteristic of the device has a hysteresis profile, which allows the coil energizing current to be reduced to a very low ‘sustaining’ value that minimizes power dissipation, yet keeps the gripping elements closed on the object. To release the object, the energizing current is controllably reduced, which collapses the magnetic fields in the electromagnets and allows the spring force of the cantilever arms to return the gripping elements to their default open positions.
