摘要: A method is provided for producing a heated laminated windshield construction. Initially, a transparent material to be provided as the outer layer of such a laminated windshield is selected. A transparent basecoat is applied on the inner major surfce of the outer layer. A quantity of electroconductive metal is deposited onto the basecoated surface to form a metal strike coat. A portion of the metal strike coat is masked so that unmasked portions of the strike coat comprise the pattern of the electroconductive metal film runs to be formed on the inner major surface. An electroconductive metal is electroplated onto the unmasked portions of the strike coat. Portions of the strike coat onto which no metal was electroplated are removed to thereby leave on the inner major surface of the layer a plurality of spaced apart electroconductive metal film runs comprising electroplated metal and the portion of the metal strike coat beneath the electroplated metal. A major surface of a transparent material is then bonded to the inner surface of the outer layer to thereby sandwich the spaced apart electroconductive metal film runs between the layers.

摘要: This invention relates to a multiresonant actuator that moves an object with a minimum of rubbing contact thereby reducing to near zero the heat generated by rubbing contact and cutting the energy loss by this effect to near zero. The invention consists of a traveling wave actuator comprising a vibrator (4) having attached transducers (6a-c) fixed to a base. Traveling wave crests (44) are maintained in contact with a positionable object such as rotor (16) by a predetermined normal force. Traveling wave crests (54) passing along the vibrator (4) forcefully move the positionable object (16) by traction (52). Transducers are electrically segmented into groups. The components of each group are connected in electrical parallel but mechanical series. Groups of a transducer are connected in mechanical series. Each group is electromechanically sinusoidally resonated at a unique frequency, phase, and amplitude by a drive signal from a control means. The vibrator thereby propagates traveling waves that have a nonsinusoidal form. A predetermined wave form produces the least rubbing at the traction contact. The predetermined wave form is used in combination with the Fourier Theorem to prescribe the frequency, phase and amplitude of each transducer group. The vibrator nonsinusoidal wave form is the mechanical sum of sinusoidal constituents. The absence of rubbing proffered by nonsinusoidal traveling waves provides high mechanical efficiency. The use of resonance provides a high electrical efficiency, thereby providing a high actuator system efficiency. Embodiments of the device operate essentially cold, in vacuum without welding, and reliably, as there are few and benign modes of degradation therein.

摘要: Tilters 2, are made of an electrotiltable material comprising an electroshearable material having a unidirectional gradient of responsivity, such as piezoelectric ceramic. Responsive to an activating electrical signal, tilters 2, tilt surfaces 26, with large side strain and negligible side stress. Forcible tilt provides forceful positioning of objects such as rollers, optical elements, and fluids. Tilting combined with a normal force of traction 16, forcefully moves a roller 12. Rollers pass tilting power to objects 14, in tractive contact such as a motor shaft 14. Alternating activation sense and tilting gradient 10 giving zero tilt at support surfaces 7, provide rigidity with negligible stress. Other embodiments use tilt to position optical elements, vary the flow resistance of fluid in a duct, and bunch charged particles. The actuator's tiltable surface 26 has an optical or acoustic element 52 attached for changing the angle at which radiation interacts with the element. A variant having tilt position sensors constitutes an accurate angular accelerometer.

摘要: This invention is for an accelerometer having a stack comprising both linearly responsive transducers and rotationally responsive transducers for measuring accelerations in the six degrees of freedom. Linear transducers such as lifters and tangenters can be combined in a stack with rotational transducers such as teeters and twisters which react to accelerations. Position sensors can be placed adjacent the transducers to sense their movement. When the position sensors detect a change, a current is applied to the transducer to return the transducer to its rest state. The current applied to return the transducer to its rest state is proportional to the acceleration experienced by the transducer, thereby providing a means to measure the acceleration on the transducer.

摘要: The axially stiff link provides a rigid connection linking two shaft segments (1, 2) of a shaft such that it can bend and or twist yet remain rigid with no slop for high tolerance positioning applications. The link is composed of two rolling elements (4) attached to the shaft segments (1, 2) having a rolling line contact (10) with each other. The rolling elements (4) are held together and preloaded by a ring spring (6) which encircles a portion of the rolling element extending transversely from the shaft segment and engages it by rolling line contact (8). The rolling elements may be solid plain curved portions of the shaft ends, a cylindrical bar, cylindrical bar pairs, or conical pairs to provide for torsional as well as axial bending in the link. Closely spaced perpendicularly disposed axial links provide for 2 axis bending of the shaft.

摘要: This invention is for an object moving actuator composed of a stack of independently controllable layers which convert thermal exobaric pulses into mechanical motion. Each layer can be a lifter for moving the stack normal to the object to be moved or a tangenter for moving the stack tangentially to the object. Each layer has a plurality of chambers having a heat source and a thermal expansive material contained therein. The heat source is controlled by a controller to generate a heat pulse which expands the thermal expansive material thereby moving a rolling barrier to make the layer move normally or tangentially. Preferably two pair of actuator stacks work together to alternately engage and move the object. The first pair makes contact with the object by lifter motion and moves the object by tangenter motion while the second pair is lifted off the object and retraces to get into position to contact and translate the object. When the actuator engages the object at the same speed the object is moving so that no frictional rubbing occurs, smooth walking motion is achieved.
