Randomized testing can be used to explore a set of possible transactions, schemas, and system states, including partionings, which can exist in a distributed database. The tests can be complementary to other system failure, performance, and version compatibility tests. Randomly generated transactions can be computed or evaluated at a transactor and compared to results derived from a transactor emulator.

Systems and methods for accelerated playback of rich internet applications

A force or fluid pressure transducer comprises a plate-like crystal. The force, to be measured, is applied by two seatings disposed on opposite edges of the crystal. The transducer can measure pressure when a diaphragm is added to provide the force. Two portions of the crystal are maintained in continuous oscillation by feed-back circuits. These portions change their frequencies by different amounts when the force is changed. The difference between the two frequencies is a very accurate measure of the force and forms the output of the transducer. Structures to secure the crystal have, in the past, proved difficult to manufacture. The present invention describes a securing structure for the crystal which substantially improves and facilitates securing and housing the crystal to provide high accuracy under all normal working conditions of the transducer.

Crystal force and pressure transducers

A force and pressure transducer comprises a plate-like crystal. Two separate portions of the crystal are maintained in oscillation at different frequencies by a circuit. The crystal is firmly secured to a solid member in such a manner that deformation in the solid manner, caused by the force or fluid pressure to be measured, results in a secondary force being transmitted to the crystal. This compels the frequency of one of the two oscillating portions of the crystal to change substantially whereas the frequency of the other portion changes only minimally. The difference frequency between the two portions is a highly accurate measure of the force or fluid pressure to be measured. In oscillating crystal transducers hitherto employing plate-like crystals wherein the force to be measured is transmitted along the surface direction, the maximum applicable force has been limited by the ability of the crystal to sustain larger forces. The new development claimed herein permits large forces and fluid pressures to be measured.

Oscillating crystal transducer systems

A force and pressure transducer comprises a plate-like crystal. Two separate portions of the crystal are maintained in oscillation at separate frequencies by a circuit. The force to be measured, is applied by a seating to a part of the crystal edge such that compression in one of the oscillating portions causes the frequency of that oscillating portion to change substantially whereas the frequency of the other portion changes only minimally. In the past it has been difficult to manufacture crystals in which the frequency versus temperature response of each of the two oscillating portions was sufficiently well matched to permit the difference frequency between the portions to be used as the instrument output signal. This invention resides in the application of a second fixed force by a spring via a seating to a second part of the crystal edge in such a way as to influence the frequency of oscillation of this second portion. In so doing the second seating can be adjusted to cause the frequency change due to temperature of the second oscillating portion to become as nearly as possible matched to the frequency versus temperature response of the first oscillating portion of the crystal thus providing a frequency change derived by computing the difference frequency between the two portions. This difference frequency forms the instrument output and responds only to the force applied to the instrument and not to the ambient temperature of the instrument.

Monolithic oscillating crystal transducer systems

A force or fluid pressure transducer comprises two plate-like crystals. The force is applied to the first of the two crystals in a direction generally along the crystal faces by two seatings situated at opposing edges of the crystal. An oscillating portion of this first crystal changes its frequency by an amount which is a very accurate measure of the force, providing the ambient temperature of the instrument remains constant. The present invention resides in a second crystal secured to the first crystal at particular force insensitive points, there being very small spacing between the two crystals. The second crystal sustains a negligibly small amount of the force and hence a similar oscillating portion of this second crystal undergoes negligibly small frequency change. Means are provided for adjusting the steady-state temperature behavior of one crystal with respect to that of the other in order to remove residual errors. The instrument output signal is formed by generating the difference frequency between the two crystals. This difference frequency changes only negligibly when the instrument is subjected to ambient temperature changes and hence provides superior performance to earlier inventions.

Oscillating crystal transducer systems with symmetrical temperature

A fluid pessure transducer comprises a plate-like crystal. The pressure gives rise to a force which is applied by two seatings situated by opposing edges of a crystal in a direction generally along the face of the crystal. The change in oscillating frequencies of a part of the crystal provides a measure of the force and hence the fluid pressure. In the past a second matched crystal has been employed to provide compensation for inaccuracy brought about by undesired frequency deviation due to ambient temperature change of the instrument. The present invention consists of a single crystal having on it two oscillating areas simulating the behaviour of the original pair of crystals. The single crystal facilitates manufacture of the device and improves the accuracy of the instrument.

Temperature compensated oscillating crystal force transducer systems

A transducer capable of measuring force or fluid pressure comprises one or more plate-like crystals; electrical means for exciting each crystal into resonance; a base upon which sits a first seating which supports the lower edge of said one crystal; a second seating disposed at the upper edge of the crystal so as to secure the crystal in a position perpendicular to said base; each seating comprising cylindrical or semi-cylindrical surfaces the cylindrical faces of which, are arranged to bear on the crystal edge so as to produce, in response to said force, a change of the resonant frequency of that crystal with respect to the other crystal or crystals.

Moveable seat for crystal in an oscillating crystal transducer systems

A fluid pressure transducer comprises a chamber; one or more matched, plate-like crystals within the chamber; electrical means for exciting each of the crystals and means for transmitting forces originating from fluid pressures on two diaphragms located on the chamber to the crystal or crystals so as to produce a change in the resonant frequency of the crystal or crystals. This change is a measure of the difference in fluid pressures applied to the two diaphragms. SP
