Two-photon-induced conductivity has been observed in Si and GaAsP photodiodes and in a CdS photo-conductive cell at room temperature and applied to the ultrashort optical pulse measurement with a simplified Michelson-type arrangement. The efficiency of the two-photon conductivity is found to be 3 x 10(-14)I A/W, where I is the intensity of the incident pulse in watts per squared centimeter. A single-shot pulse-width measurement has also been performed by using a two-dimensional silicon CCD array. Use of these inexpensive photodetectors with nonlinear characteristics has proved to be convenient for intensity correlators because of their instantaneous response to temporal coincidence of optical pulses and ease of optical arrangement.
For moderating the edge contact of gear tooth surfaces on load, a new concept has been proposed on designing worm gearing. As a first step of research, restricting a field of application of the designing concept, a few methods for generating tooth surface of hourglass worm gearing having a small lead angle have been devised.
This paper tries to apply this designing concept to wider general use — an hourglass worm gearings with a large lead angle. First, the worm axis displacement relative to the wheel axis is roughly calculated by means of elastic deformation theory. And, this idea is applied to the gear designs using two kinds of hourglass worm gearings. As a result, validity of this design concept is substantiated also in the case of large lead angle of worm gearing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
