Abstract: A sensing device for monitoring electromagnetic radiation emanating from a plasma processing system. The sensing device may, for example, comprise at least two of a first probe for detecting a time varying RF electric field, a second probe for detecting a time varying RF magnetic field, and an optical probe for detecting the modulated light emission. The sensing device may, for example, further comprise a signal processing unit configured to receive a signal from each probe and to monitor the electromagnetic radiation with respect to only a single frequency of each signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for a two-piece box construction which is a continuous, in-line process in which a pair of panels or blanks are fed simultaneously from one end of the apparatus and move along a substantially linear path through the apparatus where they are joined together so that upon exit from such apparatus the joined blanks can be fed directly, in line, into a conventional folder/gluer apparatus for final folding, gluing and other processing.

Abstract: A capacitor precharge circuit limits both peak DC link current and peak AC line current to any desired peak magnitude thereby providing for optimum precharge control and robust operation. The precharge circuit employs a microprocessor which implements a non-linear discontinuous current control scheme without the need for current sensors. The precharge circuit is well suited for use with an AC to DC converter having link inductor and a DC bus capacitor which requires precharging before full power is applied to the converter.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric comprising at least one layer of textile fibers or net of polymeric filaments and at least one web of melt blown microfibers, bonded together by hydroentangling. The nonwoven fabric may be apertured by hydroentangling or may have areas of higher density and areas of lower density. The fabric has a favorable combination of softness, dryness, tensile strength and hand. Several processes are provided for producing the nonwoven fabric of the invention.

Abstract: An improved power drill having means for sensing when the drill bit has penetrated through the workpiece and for then retracting the drill bit from the workpiece. An electrical signal responsive to the axial force between the drill and the drill bit is used to sense when the drill bit pierces the workpiece. A sudden decrease in the axial force triggers a mechanism for retracting the drill bit from the workpiece. Means are included to detect broken bits, missing bits and previously drilled holes.
