摘要: A position determination apparatus comprising a coordinate measuring machine having a scale. In addition, a read/write head and a laser interferometer system are provided, both of which can measure the position of a probe. The head writes signals derived from the interferometer onto the scale and is used either to lay down the periodic scale marks, or to write error correction values onto the scale. The scale is thus calibrated in situ on the machine.

摘要: A Hall effect device for responding to weak magnetic fields uses a small chip of gallium arsenide located between the overlapped ends of two flux concentrators. The spacing between the concentrators may be as small as 95 micrometers. The flux concentrator, which serve to enhance the device's sensitivity are made of amorphous magnetic material, i.e. a metallic glass, which has high permeability.

摘要: A fluid flowmeter of the vortex shedding type. The vortex frequency is determined from variations in the internal reflectivity of a prism 16 mounted in the fluid and coupled to a light source 13 and to a detector/frequency meter 14 via an optical waveguide arrangement 15. Passage of a vortex adjacent the prism 16 causes a temporary change in the local fluid refractive index and hence a change in the intensity of light internally reflected by the prism.

摘要: An optical fibre strain gauge arrangement is employed to take advantage of a so-called speckle effect. As used in a simple strain gauge, a coherent light source, e.g. a laser, launches light via a suitable launching device into a multimode optical fibre or fibre bundle. Due to slight differences in transmission times in the fibre or fibre bundle the light as received at a detector has a speckle pattern. If the fibre or fibre bundle is subjected to strain, the various transmission times are caused to change so that the speckle pattern shifts, the amount of the shift being a measure of the strain. This principle is usable in a vortex flowmeter where the vortices produced by a bluff body influence such a fibre arrangement. Further, when used underwater, passing ships and submarines may be detected. In a building, the arrangement may be used as an intruder detection system.

摘要: An arrangement for the remote actuation of a controlled device, e.g. a hydraulic valve, in situations with stringent safety requirements, uses optical power. The optical power, e.g. from a high-power laser, is conveyed via an optical fibre (1) to the controlled device. Here it falls on a heat-absorbent surface (2), as a result of which a volatile fluid (e.g. freon) is evaporated. This via a bellows (4) drives an output rod (5), which operates the controlled device.Alternatives include a bimetallic strip, a thermostat-type capsule, and a memory metal strip, as the heat responsive device.

摘要: In order to determine the vortex shedding frequency, from which the fluid flow rate may be calculated, an optical beam, such as produced by a laser, is passed through a fluid, transversely to a vortex street therein, and modulated in dependence on the alternate high and low velocity regions comprising the vortex street. The modulated signal is detected and "cleaned" of noise by filtering with a first (high) band-pass filter of a center frequency f.sub.c, such that the first filter output comprises an amplitude modulated signal of carrier frequency f.sub.c modulated by the vortex shedding frequency, that is the frequency of oscillation of the power spectra between the respective curves for the high and low velocity regions. The first filter output is demodulated and filtered by a second (low) band-pass filter, whose output is of a frequency comprising the vortex shedding frequency.

摘要: A Hall effect device comprises a thin substrate free epitaxially grown semiconductor body mounted in a magnetically permeable, e.g. ferrite, housing. The layer, which is preferably gallium arsenide or gallium indium arsenide, is grown on a substrate which, after device processing is complete, is removed by a selective etching process. In view of the relatively high sensitivity and good noise characteristics such a device with its flux concentrator is small, since the flux concentrators are themselves much smaller than with conventional Hall effect systems. Other semiconductor materials from which the novel thin Hall effect devices can be made include silicon.

摘要: A device for measuring the proportion of a first liquid in a lower refractive index second liquid with which the first liquid is immiscible, such as oil in water. An unclad optical fiber, having an index of refraction between those of the two liquids but at least equal to and not more than ten percent greater than that of the first liquid. A light energy source and detector are connected by the immersed fiber and the light energy transmission measured to determine liquid proportions.
