A bulk acoustic wave resonator structure that isolates the core resonator from both environmental effects and aging effects. The structure has a piezoelectric layer at least partially disposed between two electrodes. The structure is protected against contamination, package leaks, and changes to the piezoelectric material due to external effects while still providing inertial resistance. The structure has one or more protective elements that limit aging effects to at or below a specified threshold. The resonator behavior is stabilized across the entire bandwidth of the resonance, not just at the series resonance. Examples of protective elements include a collar of material around the core resonator so that perimeter and edge-related environmental and aging phenomena are kept away from the core resonator, a Bragg reflector formed above or below the piezoelectric layer and a cap formed over the piezoelectric layer.

An automatic manipulator, such as a multiaxial industrial robot, with a carrying component structure (support structure) for transmitting forces between individual members of the automatic manipulator.

The material of the support structure may be, in particular, a material that is suitable for use in contact with foods, such as stainless steel, so that the automatic manipulator according to the present invention can be used reliably and without additional costly protective measures in environments in which there is a risk for contamination, such as in the food industry.

In embodiments, methods and systems are presented for physical interaction with computer-mediated information. A movable display module (including a touch screen monitor, CPU, absolute encoder and other sensors, and wireless network connection) is mounted on and can be moved along rails. The rails serve four purposes relating to the movable display module:1) to provide DC power and / or data through the rails to the equipment;2) to act as a rack gear for absolute encoding of physical position;3) to provide physical support;4) to act as guide tracks.As the display module slides along the rails, a computer program receives positional and other sensor data. The program maps the sensor data to programmatic content, and presents said content on the display module or on other displays or in external effects such as lights or robotics. The entire system is designed for reliability, affordability, and ease of mass production.

A method of using one or more microjets to create and / or control oblique shock waves. The introduction of microjet flow into a supersonic stream creates an oblique shock wave. This wave can be strengthened—by increasing microjet flow rate or the use of many microjets in an array—in order to form an oblique shock. Such an oblique shock can be used to decelerate flow in a jet aircraft engine inlet in a controlled fashion, thus increasing pressure recovery and engine efficiency while reducing flow instability. Adjusting the pressure ratio across the microjet actually alters the angle of the oblique shock. Thus, the use of microjets allows decelerating shock waves in an inlet engine to be properly positioned and controlled. Microjet arrays can also be used to ameliorate shock waves created by external aircraft surfaces, such as sensor pods and weapons. Microjets placed forward of any external protuberance can convert a single substantial shock wave into a series of much milder waves which will not produce unwanted external effects, such as strong sonic booms.

Therefore, the passenger detection system accurately detects a passenger on the seat of the vehicle while suppressing a detection error caused by an external effect.

A passive magnetic latch is disclosed. The latch includes, according to various embodiments, a magnetically-actuated switch and a hard, non-linear biasing magnet. The switch may include components that, when polarized, cause the switch to transition from a first state to a second state. The biasing magnet is positioned proximate to the switch such that when the magnetization of the biasing magnet is changed by an external effect to thereby induce a modified magnetic field from the biasing magnet, the modified magnetic field polarizes the components of the switch such that the switch transitions from the first state to the second state and remains in the second state after the external effect is removed. A second external effect may be used to again change the magnetization of the biasing magnet such that the components of the switch depolarize and the switch transitions back the first state. As such, the magnetic latch may act like a remote ON / OFF switch.

Disclosed is apparatus and a method for detecting udder disease in dairy animals. An accelerometer is attached to each of a plurality of dairy animals. A processor determines a measure of the activity of the dairy animals to which the accelerometers are attached. Data is recorded by and automatically transmitted from a sensor unit secured to an animal, without the requirement for costly and time consuming chemical analysis of milk, or of visual or veterinary inspection of individual animals in a herd. The development of an udder disease in a dairy animal, such as mastitis, may be identified from a decrease in the monitored measure of activity of a dairy animal. A separate baseline measure of activity may be determined for each dairy animal and the ac tivity of a plurality of dairy animals in one or more herds may be taken into account, in order to reduce false positives due to external effects which are not specific to a single dairy animal.

When a heating process is performed in a state where a thermal transfer sheet is superimposed on a scintillator plate, a film of the thermal transfer sheet is separated from the thermal transfer sheet and adhered onto the scintillator plate. The film includes a protective layer, an aluminum layer, and an adhesive layer. The aluminum layer is protected by the protective layer. Because the scintillator plate by itself functions as a rear surface support substrate with respect to the protective layer and the aluminum layer, a film which is highly resistive against an external effect can be formed. A plurality of films can be layered on the scintillator plate. A pressure transfer method can also be used for formation of the film. A scintillator member in which the film has been formed is disposed in a radiation measuring device.

A torque sensor for automobiles capable of maintaining initial fabricated positions of components in a housing even though being subjected to thermal expansion or external shock is disclosed. Retaining elements made of resilient material having excellent damping capability are interposed between an inner surface of a housing and each of detection coil assemblies by molding process to enable the components received in the housing to be securely held. Though being subjected to external vibration or shock, the external effect can be absorbed by damping effect of the retaining elements. Though the components in the housing thermally expand due to temperature variation, the retaining elements are elastically deformed to accommodate volume increase by the thermal expansion. Since fabricated positions of the components can be securely maintained without axial and radial displacement, it is possible to precisely detect torque acting on a torsion bar.
