Lock-in amplifier and method for filtering a measurement signal using such an amplifier

A lock-in amplifier with an additional phase-sensitive detector is provided. A measurement signal is mixed in a multiplicative fashion with a reference signal, which is phase-shifted by 90 degrees, for a modulation frequency.

Method and apparatus for testing transducer horn assembly debubbling devices

A method and apparatus for evaluating the end cap round transducer horn assemblies used in debubbling operations wherein the ECR THA can be evaluated off-line at both high and low power and on-line by making electrical measurements on the ECR THA. The electrical measurements are used to characterize the physical condition of the piezoelectric ceramics of the THA. A test box is employed to practice the method. The test box is connected between the THA and a signal analyzer. Power is supplied to the THA and the electrical signals across the THA are sampled. The sampled electrical signals are transmitted to the signal analyzer while maintaining the amplitude and phase relationship thereof. The sampled electrical signals are used to generate an impedance trace for the particular THA. That impedance trace is compared to a model impedance trace. In such manner, it can be determined whether the ECR THA is operational. Further, if the ECR THA is in working condition, the impedance trace can be used to determine how efficiently it is operating. This allows for an ultimate determination to be made of how well a particular ECR THA is functioning.

Injection molding flow control mechanism

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to improved flow control mechanism for valve gated injection molding. The mechanism is of the type where movement of the valve pin is controlled by a pneumatically driven rocker arm. The back plate is cast with an integral pivot pin portion projecting from it and a pivot ball is fixed in a seat on the end of it. The rocker arm has a recess which receives the pivot ball for pivotal motion on the pivot pin portion of the back plate. The back plate is cast of a steel with sufficient strength and flexibility to withstand the repeated lateral loading on it due to the pivotal motion of the rocker arm, while the pivot ball is formed of a significantly harder material to avoid unacceptable wear where it is in moving contact with the rocker arm. Casting the back plate rather than machining it, enables bends in the runner passage extending through it to be smoothly curved, thus avoiding "dead spots".
