Patent number: 7827651Abstract: A quick-release paint roller having a roller cover that can be removed from a handle assembly without requiring the user to apply a force directly to the roller cover. The paint roller includes a tube-shaped roller cover having an outer surface of paint absorbing material and a rotatably mounted roller core. When the actuator is in the release position, the roller mounting device is free of the latching mechanism, thus permitting the roller core and roller cover to be removed from the handle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Zibra, LLCInventors: Nicholas Simon Graham, Michael James Marchese, III, Michael Patrick Duffy, Edward Reynolds

Publication number: 20070096763Abstract: A laser processing system implements a method for aligning a probe element (e.g., a probe pin) with a device interface element (e.g., a contact pad of a circuit substrate). First, the laser processing system generates an optical reference beam at one or more predetermined positions to calibrate a reference field. The laser processing system then detects a position of the probe element in the reference field. The laser processing system also determines a relative position of the device interface element in the reference field. Based on the position of the probe element and the device interface element, the laser processing system then initiates alignment of the probe element and the device interface element. In one application, alignment of the probe element and the device interface element further includes contacting the probe element to the device interface element to make an electrical connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Applicant: GSI Group CorporationInventors: Jonathan Ehrmann, Patrick Duffy, Markus Weber, Gregg Metzger, Joseph Lento, Pierre-Yves Mabboux, Jens Zink, Yun Chu
