Abstract: An angular speed measuring device comprises a rotating tuning fork transducer. First excitation electrodes excite the transducer to cause a first vibration in a first plane parallel to the planes of the principal faces of the transducer. The first vibration induces a second vibration in a plane perpendicular to the planes of the principal faces.

Further circuitry (53,54) adjusts the resonant frequency of the cavity in response to the error signal. A pulse generator 26 and a mixer 28 periodically apply both the first and second signal portions for a limited duration only during the interrogation period.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for thermal process control in electroforming stampers for the production of CD/LD data carriers or the like. The temperature of an electrolytic solution in an electroforming cell is maintained at a value nearest a specific maximum temperature by raising or lowering the temperature of the electrolytic solution in a storage tank provided outside of the electroforming cell as a function of the temperature measured in a cathode space of the electroforming cell. A temperature sensor is disposed in or near the cathode space adjacent an electrolyte injection nozzle in a space between the anode and cathode means for supplying signals to a control unit. The temperature sensor and the injection nozzle are preferably assembled into a single mounting unit. The electroforming process can thus be run with an optimum effectivity in the vicinity of a maximum permissible temperature of the electrolytic solution.
