Abstract: An electric-powered personal transport vehicle with a board to support a weight of a user and one or more wheels driven by one or more electric motors is discussed. The electric motors are powered by one or more batteries. A throttle has a thumb wheel speed controller on a handlebar. The thumb wheel speed controller has a horizontal manipulation between accelerate, neutral, and brake input positions such that pressing the thumbwheel speed controller in a vertical direction will not result in an unintentional acceleration or braking.

Abstract: Disclosed is a configuration for displaying a user interface on a device (e.g., a remote controller) to assist a user in correctly orienting the device for improved communication with an aerial vehicle. Position information is received by device from the aerial vehicle. The remote controller detects its own position and orientation. Based on the orientation of the remote controller and the relative position of the remote controller and aerial vehicle, the remote controller displays an indication to the user to assist the user in orienting the remote controller so that one or more directional antennas of the remote controller are oriented for effective communication between the device and the aerial vehicle. Also disclosed is an antenna configuration within a housing of a remote controller. The antenna configuration includes two ceramic patch antennas.

Abstract: A magnetron actuator for moving a magnetron in a nearly arbitrary radial and azimuthal path in the back of a target in a plasma sputter reactor. The magnetron includes two coaxial rotary shafts extending along the chamber central axis and coupled to two independently controllable rotary actuators. An epicyclic gear mechanism or a frog-leg structure mechanically couple the shafts to the magnetron to control its radial and azimuthal position. A vertical actuator moves the shafts vertically in tandem to vary the magnetron's separation from the target's back surface and compensate for erosion of the front surface. The rotary actuators may be separately coupled to the shafts or a rotatable ring gear may be coupled to the shafts through respectively fixed and orbiting idler gears. Two radially spaced sensors detect reflectors attached to the inner and outer arms of the epicyclic gear mechanism for homing of the controller.

Abstract: A process kit comprises a ring assembly that is placed about a substrate support in a substrate processing chamber to reduce deposition of process deposits on the chamber components and on an overhang edge of the substrate. The process kit includes a deposition ring, cover ring, and anti-lift bracket, and can also include a unitary shield. A target is also described.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for processing frames of images. The system and method are embodied to: identify a frame in an image frame; extract a component element from the frame; generate a subindex related to the index for the element; and distribute the element and the subindex to a frame recorder in a series of data streams. At the frame recorder, the data streams are received and a reconstructed image series representing the image series is constructed.

Abstract: An actuator for performing work in a nuclear reactor is described. In one embodiment, the actuator includes an x-axis linear slide assembly, a y-axis linear slide assembly, and a z-axis linear slide assembly. The x-axis linear slide assembly is mounted to a junction box, the y-axis linear slide assembly is mounted on a carriage of the x-axis assembly, and the z-axis linear slide assembly is mounted on a carriage of the y-axis assembly. The actuator also includes motor assemblies coupled to respective linear slide assemblies. Each motor assembly includes a motor and a resolver sealed in a leakproof can. Pulley-timing belt assemblies couple each motor to a respective lead screw. Specifically, a drive pulley is connected to a rotor shaft of each motor, and a lead screw pulley is secured to an end of each lead screw. Each pulley-timing belt assembly also includes an idler pulley, and a belt extends around the lead screw pulley, the idler pulley, and the drive pulley.
