The arithmetic processor is a cheap, calculator-like device, running to its own ROM. Each calculation subroutine is initiated by the 8085 master processor.

We describe a microprocessing technique which is used with an infrared thermal sensing method to ensure weld uniformity. An optical fiber bundle “pipes” infrared radiation from a heated zone near the weld. A detection system provides a thermal signature of this zone, which reflects the progress of the heating inside the weld. A “standard” weld is made by trial and error, its thermal signature to serve as a model for all later welds of the same type. By controlling the welding-machine power in real time, the microprocessor ensure that all such welds will have the same thermal signature and, thus, the same quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100495,"journal":{"name":"Euromicro Newsletter","volume":"6 5","pages":"Pages 296-303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0303-1268(80)90163-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71900264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
