    摘要: A method of monitoring the process of induction heating a workpiece. A miniature magnetic sensor located near the outer surface of the workpiece measures changes in the surface magnetic field caused by changes in the magnetic properties of the workpiece as it heats up during induction heating (or cools down during quenching). A passive miniature magnetic sensor detects a distinct magnetic spike that appears when the saturation field, Bsat, of the workpiece has been exceeded. This distinct magnetic spike disappears when the workpiece's surface temperature exceeds its Curie temperature, due to the sudden decrease in its magnetic permeability. Alternatively, an active magnetic sensor can also be used to measure changes in the resonance response of the monitor coil when the excitation coil is linearly swept over 0-10 MHz, due to changes in the magnetic permeability and electrical resistivity of the workpiece as its temperature increases (or decreases).

    摘要: A nondestructive product level calibration method which is based on reflectance of intensity of UV and visible light that is measured from the top surface of a semiconductor wafer in a RTP closed loop process control environment in which the temperature of the wafer is regulated as a function of reflectivity of radiation at a preselected wavelength from the top surface of the wafer. In the method, sheet resistance of the wafer is measured as a function of the intensity of the UV and IR light directed at the wafer over a predetermined temperature and time range. Then, the reflectance intensity off wafer is measured to develop a model of the top surface. The reflectance model will indicate a wavelength where the reflectance is the greatest. Next, the wafer is subjected to UV radiation at the most sensitive wavelength and the reflectance is plotted against intensity of heat treatment. Then, notice is taken that the reflectance detected directly corresponds to a ratio of temperature over time measured in the first step. Thus, the reflectance at a particular wavelength of UV light corresponds to a specific and discrete temperature so that the degree of heat treatment to which the wafer has been exposed is known.

    摘要: A microwave oven with an invertor control power source produces a microwave by the use of the magnetron in relation to the high frequency power generated by the invertor control power source. The heat sensitive ferreit beads provided on the lead wire for transmitting the high frequency power to the magnetron changes the inductance of the wire from the high level to the low level at around a threshold temperature lower than the working equilibrium temperature of the magnetron. The cathode filament current remains within the allowable range, and the moding of the magnetron is prevented. The magnetron can operate in a long life time.

    摘要: A ferromagnetic element has current passed through it either by direct electrical connections or by induction. The current through the ferromagnetic element may be far greater than is necessary to heat the element above its effective Curie temperature. As the element is heated and is passing through its effective Curie transition (that is its temperature is rising from below its effective Curie temperature to, or above, its effective Curie temperature) the change in permeability of the element is sensed and the current through the element is cut off. The element then cools. When the temperature falls below the effective Curie temperature, the full current is restored. The heating and cooling process repeats itself indefinitely. The result is that the element is maintained at its effective Curie by a pulsating current fed to the element. The Curie transition may be sensed by directly sensing changes in permeability as by an auto-transformer winding, on the element; or by sensing changes in the power to the element by reason of the change in resistance of the element as it passes through the effective Curie temperature.

    摘要: A temperature sensor is disclosed which produces an electrical output signal when a predetermined high temperature is reached and which maintains that signal until the temperature has fallen to a predetermined low temperature so as to achieve temperature hysteresis. The sensor includes two magnetic cores which are wound with wires to form inductances. The cores are constructed of different material so that their transition points occur at different temperatures. Sensors are disclosed which include circuitry that sense the change of state of the high temperature core at its transition temperature when the temperature is increased to the high predetermined temperature, and the change of state of the low temperature coil at its transition temperature when the temperature is decreased to the low predetermined temperature.

    摘要: The condition of internal or hidden material layers or interfaces is monitored and used for control of a process that changes a condition of a material system. The material system has multiple component materials, such as layers or embedded constituents, or can be represented with multiple layers to model spatial distributions in the material properties. The material condition changes as a result of a process performed on the material, such as by cold working, or from functional operation. Sensors placed proximate to the test material surface or embedded between material layers are used to monitor a material property using magnetic, electric, or thermal interrogation fields. The sensor responses are converted into states of the material condition, such as temperature or residual stress, typically with a precomputed database of sensor responses. The sensor responses can also be used to determine properties of the test material, such as electrical conductivity or magnetic permeability, prior to conversion to the material state. The states are used to support control decisions that control the process or operation causing the material condition to change.
