Patent number: 9297478Abstract: A valve system for a vessel has a valve body, and a valve stem extending through the valve body and terminating in a plug for axial movement between open and closed position as the stem moves through the valve body. There is at least one probe passageway through the valve stem, at least one of which has a circumferential seal for engaging a probe inserted in the passageway and being exposed in a vessel. The circumferential seal seals the inside of a vessel from atmosphere while allowing a probe to be inserted and removed by moving axially in the passageway. This avoids need to remove the valve system to insert or remove a probe, and indeed a single expensive probe is used at different times with different valve systems. When no exposed probe is required, the seal may be completed by simply inserting a dummy probe in the passageway.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: SCHUP VALVE TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: John O'Halloran, Fergus Keane, Brian Guilly

Publication number: 20130149202Abstract: A valve system (1, 100) for a vessel has a valve body (2, 101), and a valve stem (26) extending through the valve body (2, 101) and terminating in a plug (20, 102) for axial movement between open and closed position as the stem moves through the valve body. There is at least one probe passageway (12, 13, 108) through the valve stem (26, 121), at least one of which has a circumferential seal (9-11, 105-106) for engaging a probe inserted in the passageway and being exposed in a vessel The circumferential seal (9-11, 105-106) seals the inside of a vessel from atmosphere while allowing a probe to be inserted and removed by moving axially in the passageway.

Patent number: 8268468Abstract: An electrochemical cell is provided with an enhanced pressure relief vent formed in a closed end of the cell container that allows for effective venting of gas from the closed end of the container. The cell includes a container having a first end, a second end, a side wall extending between the first and second ends, and an end wall extending across the first end. The cell has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an aqueous alkaline electrolyte, all disposed in the container. The cell further includes a pressure relief vent mechanism having an offset C-shaped reduced thickness groove formed in the end wall of the container. A cover can be welded to the closed end wall of the container over the pressure relief vent mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Eveready Battery Company, Inc.Inventors: John C. Stearns, Robert E. Ray, Richard L Bouffard, Walter B Ebner, John O'Halloran, R. Justin Begg

Publication number: 20120208349Abstract: A support substrate or chuck 20 supports wafer die 11 during and after dicing of a wafer 10. The support substrate comprises an array of islands 21, upper faces of which are raised above a major face of the support substrate for alignment with an array of dies on, or singulated from, the wafer. Spacing between the islands is not less than a kerf of a laser, or a width of a blade, used to dice the wafer. For laser dicing the upper faces of the islands are a sufficient height above the major face that energy of a laser beam 30 used to dice the wafer is dissipated in channels between the islands without substantially machining the support substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2007Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.Inventors: John O'Halloran, John Tully, Billy Diggin, Richard F.

Publication number: 20090020513Abstract: A laser machining apparatus arranged to machine material which emits a hazardous material during machining, includes a vacuum extraction system 24, 25 for extracting at least some of the emitted hazardous material from a machining region of the apparatus. At least a first containment zone 36 encompasses the machining region to contain deposition of any un-extracted emitted hazardous material to the machining region. A second containment zone 37 may surround the first containment zone and a pressure differential may be provided between the two containment zones to assist in containing deposition of hazardous materials to the first containment zone 36. A transfer chamber 40 may be provided for transferring machined material to a washing station to prevent release from the laser machining apparatus during the transfer of any emitted hazardous material deposited on the machined material.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Inventors: John O'Halloran, John Tully, Pat Grimes

Patent number: 6034696Abstract: A source relative warping technique for corner pinning calculates a final projection matrix representing a desired video effect. At least three non-collinear points are specified in an input video signal representing an image in a source plane. One or more of the non-collinear points are "deformed", and then the points as deformed are processed by the final projection matrix to produce projected points in a target plane. A new projection matrix is defined that projects the original non-collinear points in the source plane onto the projected points in the target plane. The new projection matrix is finally substituted for the final projection matrix.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1997Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Assignee: Grass Valley (U.S.) Inc.Inventors: Donald Childers, John O'Halloran
