Optical inspection apparatus includes an illumination system illuminating an area of the workpiece surface with a sky of illumination which is, with respect to each point in the illuminated area, substantially circularly symmetric over a solid angle around the optical axis passing perpendicularly through the electro-optical sensor and the workpiece surface.

A high bandwidth vapor density diagnostic system for measuring the density of an atomic vapor during one or more photoionization events. The system translates the measurements from a low frequency region to a high frequency, relatively noise-free region in the spectrum to provide improved signal to noise ratio.

The invention provides an improved communication terminal system which basically works only in an on-line state, that is, when it is connected with a host computer; but, which is also workable for a pre-determined time period even in an off-line state. The communication terminal system includes a terminal unit, measuring means for counting working frequency or time of the terminal unit, and contro...

A method for the electroslag refining of metal is provided. The method involves providing a refining vessel to contain an electroslag refining layer floating on a layer of molten refined metal. An ingot of unrefined metal is lowered into the vessel into contact with the molten electroslag layer. A refining current is passed through the slag layer to the ingot to cause surface melting at the interf...

A method for continuously and automatically monitoring the electrical efficiency and control consistency in a liquid crystal display unit consisting of determining the discharge or charge time of the capacitor having as its plates each segment and the backplane or return electrode of the display unit when the feed to said segment has been disconnected, said time being determined by a binary counte...
