Publication number: 20230314184Abstract: A monitoring device for monitoring a screw joint of an object includes a base plate to be attached to the object and a top plate to be attached to one part of the screw joint, wherein the base plate and the top plate are positioned parallel to and on top of each other and wherein both plates each includes at least one electrode that capacitively interact with each other. The monitoring device is characterized in that the electrodes are shaped and positioned such that at least one electrode of one of the plates interacts with at least two different electrodes of the other one of the plates depending on the rotational position of the plates relative to each other. A monitoring arrangement having at least one monitoring device of this kind and a monitoring method are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Rick WEST, Christopher Lee Shih Hao SAM SOON, Gerald BUSCH, Mathew COURTNEY, David HEAD, Steffen NIGGEMANN, Ben SCOTT

Patent number: 8095231Abstract: A graphical programming system allows a user to place geometric shapes onto a scaled image, the shape having associated behavior that operates on the image or on the object of which the image is formed. In a preferred embodiment, the shapes are objects in the Visio program by Microsoft Corporation. The shapes are dragged from a stencil onto an image provided by ion beam or electron microscope image. The shape invokes software or hardware to locate and measure features on the image or to perform operations, such as ion beam milling, on the object that is imaged.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: FEI CompanyInventors: David J.

Patent number: 7173934Abstract: A multilink trunk from a client device in a communication network is split between two aggregation devices such that each aggregation device is connected to at least one link of the multilink trunk. The aggregation devices work in conjunction to appear to the client device as a single device connected to the client device over the multilink trunk. The aggregation devices transmit identical bridge protocol data units to the client device over their respective links of the multilink trunk. The aggregation devices exchange operational information and data packets over inter-device communication ports. A failure of the split multilink trunk at one aggregation device is restored through the other aggregation device.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2002Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Roger Lapuh, Yili Zhao, Wassim Tawbi, Joseph M.

Publication number: 20060176470Abstract: Systems and methods for laser capture microdissection are disclosed. One method incorporates the step of changing the beam diameter of the laser to adjust the size of the activated area of the transfer film and as a result, the size of the at least one microdissected portion of the sample adhered to the transfer film. Changing the beam diameter while operating the laser in idle mode permits the user to visualize the spot on the desired portion of the tissue sample and simultaneously increase or decrease the beam spot to optimally match the beam spot size with the portion of the tissue to be extracted. This method advantageously provides increased accuracy in microdissection and reduced heating of the tissue sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2005Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventors: Thomas Baer, Mark Enright, David Head, Christopher Todd

Publication number: 20060148070Abstract: Systems and methods for acquiring laser capture microdissection samples are disclosed. A scattering media is located within a beam path defined by the laser capture microdissection microscope and the sample is imaged through the scattering media. A transfer film carrier includes a substrate surface and a laser capture microdissection transfer film coupled to the substrate surface of the transfer film carrier. The scattering media is optically coupled to a laser capture microdissection transfer film being located in or attached to the laser capture microdissection transfer film or transfer film carrier. The systems and methods provide improved sample imaging and facilitate quick and accurate laser capture microdissection while simultaneously minimizing contamination.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: THOMAS BAER, David Head, John Toeppen
