Patent number: 6190517Abstract: An electro-magnet array for use in a sputtering apparatus. The array has a magnetisable core member extending substantially horizontally and having magnetisable outward projections arranged as at least two pairs of symmetrically opposed projections projecting outwardly from the core member. A pole member is associated with each projection and vertically displaced with respect thereto. A magnetisable coupler is arranged to couple each pole piece magnetically to its respective projection. A magnetising coil around each projection is arranged for producing a magnetic field aligned substantially with a horizontal axis of symmetry of its respective projection in dependence upon the direction of flow of electric current through the magnetising coil.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Nordiko LimitedInventors: Mervyn Howard Davis, David Ian Charles Pearson, Simon Richard Reeves, Barry Diver

Patent number: 5795451Abstract: A sputtering apparatus includes a rotatable array plate and a magnetic array including a group of permanent magnets arranged around the plate periphery in one or more quadrants. Each magnet is perpendicular to the plate, having a pole of a first polarity facing toward the target. A bar permanent magnet is affixed to the plate within the same quadrant of a group of magnets and is located between a center axis of rotation and the magnet group. The bar permanent magnet is perpendicular to the plate, having a pole of a second polarity facing toward the target. The magnets create a closed-loop static magnetic field that is substantially triangular in shape, concentrated in the quadrant, and offset from the center axis of rotation. The magnets in one quadrant may be replicated to fill up to four quadrants, and additional bar magnets are arranged to create a rotating magnetic field at the target that patterns the plasma to a maximum plasma density in the shape of a kidney.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1997Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignees: Read-Rite Corporation, Nordiko, Ltd.Inventors: Swie-In Tan, David Ian Charles Pearson

Patent number: 4093290Abstract: A safety vehicle incorporating an impact member, a collision sensor and a safety device. When the vehicle collides with a typical pedestrian, he is struck by the impact member, which is so placed that it tends to make him fall onto a surface of the vehicle, e.g. the bonnet. The safety device, responding to the sensor, then moves from a stowed position to an operating position in which it restrains him from falling off the surface again. The stowed location of the device and its path of movement to its operating position are chosen so that it does not impede, but may actually assist, the movement of the pedestrian onto the bonnet.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1976Date of Patent: June 6, 1978Assignee: National Research Development CorporationInventor: Leonard Charles Pearson

Patent number: 4024510Abstract: Apparatus for timing the occurrence of a variety of control signals by using a storage device forming a pair of registers at each of a plurality of addressable locations and storing in one register a constant value while its corresponding register serves as an accumulator. A repetitive sequence of clock signals is continuously generated and each signal in a sequence is peculiar to a set of one or more addresses and, with other preconditions is operable to effect a comparison between the stored constant and accumulated value at that address. If the accumulated value is not equal to the constant, the accumulated value is incremented by one and both values are stored in their respective registers at their original address; if the two compared values are equal, a control signal is produced and the constant is stored but the corresponding accumulator register is reset to zero.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1975Date of Patent: May 17, 1977Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Robert Charles Pearson
