A fully synchronous longitudinal position (LPOS) detection system is provided for improving the reliability of servo channels in tape systems. The system is based on the interpolation of the servo channel output signal, which is sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) at a fixed sampling rate, using a clock at a nominal frequency, so that interpolated signal samples are obtained at a predetermined fixed rate, independent of tape velocity. This predetermined fixed rate is defined in terms of samples per unit of length, as opposed to samples per unit of time, which is the measure of the ADC sampling rate. The resolution with which the servo channel signal is obtained at the interpolator output is thus determined by the step interpolation distance.

The method of making thin glass panes includes conveying a glass melt through a vertical inlet to a drawing tank with a slit nozzle; drawing a glass ribbon downward from the slit nozzle; setting a total throughput by setting length and cross section of the inlet and by heating and cooling the inlet to control glass melt viscosity so that pressure in the inlet decreases; and setting a throughput per unit of length in a lateral direction along the glass ribbon via nozzle system geometry and by heating and cooling of the drawing tank and slit nozzle to control melt viscosity, so that glass does not wet an underside of the slit nozzle near a breaking edge. The setting of the total throughput and the throughput per unit length are largely decoupled to simplify process control. An inventive apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a rock drilling arrangement and a method and program for controlling rock drilling on the basis of specific energy consumption. The specific energy of drilling is the quantity of energy used per a unit of length of the drilled hole. Not only the used impact energy, but also the energy used by at least one other sub-process is taken into account when determining the specific energy. Rotation energy is typically included, but feeding energy and flushing energy can also be considered. Drilling variables are adjusted so that the specific energy is of a predetermined size.

A multi-plane cell switch fabric system prevents a decrease of the effective switching capacity when switching the variable-length packets. Distribution units classify input variable-length packets for each address, arranges the packets by a first division length unit, divides the packets into fixed-length cell payloads by a second division length unit that is an integer multiple being twice or more as large as the first division length unit, and forms a fixed-length cell by providing destination information, a source ID, a sequential number, and packet head tail information to each of the cell payloads. The cells are distributed to all the switching units one by one whenever the cells are collected to be the same number as the plural switching units. The reordering units classify the cells, reorder the sequential number in an original order, and reassemble the packets by the packet head tail information of the cell.

The invention relates to a method for quality monitoring of longitudinally moving yarn at workplace of textile machine manufacturing cross-coil, wherein, the yarn fault is, related to the diameter deviation and longitudinal length of the yarn, estimated in the yarn by aid of an inspecting apparatus and an estimating apparatus, which is realized by comparing the diameter deviation with the clearing threshold value and removing the deviations positioned over the clearing threshold value, wherein, a width is set in a coordinate system for the position of the clearing threshold value and definedby an upper limit and a lower limit, wherein, the fluctuation of the diameter under the lower limit can not be estimated into the yarn fault, while each yarn fault over the upper limit is removed, andbased on the given yarn quality each time on the station, the clearing threshold value is changed in the way that the amount of the yarn fault located between the clearing threshold value and the lower limit and therefore being retained in the yarn can not exceed that of the predetermined yarn fault in the yarn in a unit of length or plane fabric in a unit of length made of the yarn dependent onthe quality.

An auto focus image system that includes a pixel array coupled to a focus signal generator. The pixel array captures an image that has a plurality of edges. The generator generates a focus signal that is a function of a plurality of edge-sharpness measures for the plurality of edges. The generator compares a sequence of gradients across the edge with one or more reference sequences of gradients and/or reference curves defined by data retrieved from a non-volatile memory. The generator may reject or de-emphasize the edge using result of the comparison. The edge sharpness measure is a quantity whose unit is a positive or negative, integer or non-integer power of a unit of length. It may be measured from the edge and/or a reference sequence/curve matched to the edge, or may be retrieved for the matched reference sequence/curve from a non-volatile memory.

The invention relates to a high-resolving force optical zoom lens with a large target surface, and belongs to the field of optical and mechanical integration. The high-resolving force optical zoom lens with the large target surface sequentially comprises a first lens group G1 with negative power, a diaphragm and a second lens group G2 with positive power from an object side to an image side. The focal length of the lens is charged through moving the second lens group G2, and the change of the position of the zoomed image surface is compensated through moving the first lens group G1 to ensure that the position of the inner image surface within the whole zooming range is unchangeable. The target surface of the optical zoom lens is 1/2 cun, wherein the cun is a unit of length. In the whole focal length section, values of an optical modulation transfer function (MTF) of the lens are all more than 0.3 at a place of 1301p/mm, which ensures that the resolving force can realize high definition corresponding to mega pixel within the whole focal length section, thereby adapting to the development tendency of a security industry, and having wide market prospects.

An auto-focus image system includes a focus signal generator and a pixel array coupled thereto that captures an image that includes a plurality of edges. The generator computes a focus signal from a plurality of edge-sharpness measures, each measured from and contributed by a different edge as a quantity with a unit that is a power of a unit of length. The generator reduces a relative weight of the contribution of an edge depending on a shape of a normalized gradient profile of the edge as identified by an n-tuple of values of n different shape measures (n≧2). Each shape measure varies across normalized gradient profiles of different shapes. One shape measure may be the edge-sharpness measure itself. The weight may be zero if the n-tuple falls outside a predetermined region. At least one symmetrical shape that has perfect reflection symmetry receives reduced weight.

A measurement device includes first and second measurement indicia. First indicia (e.g., on the tape) may include numerals regularly spaced to mark inches or other units of length (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc,). Also included are second indicia, that are non-numeric (e.g., letters, such as A, B, C, etc.) where the second indicia are regularly spaced to mark fractions of inches or other units of length indicated by the first indicia. The second indicia are positioned between adjacent first indicia. For example, the letters (A, B, C, etc.) may he spaced every sixteenth or other fraction of an inch between the “1” and “2” (adjacent first indicia). Where sixteenths are used, the letters A-O are equally spaced, between the adjacent first indicia (e.g., between the “1”P′ and the “2”). The A-O may repeat between each integral number—between “1” and “2”, between “2” and “3” and so forth.
