  • Patent number: 9368772
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a solid state battery device. The device can include electrochemically active layers and an overlaying barrier material, with an inter-digitated layer structure configured with a post terminated lead structure. The method can include forming a plurality of battery device cell regions (1-N) formed in a multi-stacked configuration, wherein each of the battery device cell regions comprises a first current collector and a second current collector. The method can also include forming a thickness of a first and second lead material to cause formation of a first and second lead structure to interconnect each of the first and second current collectors associated with each of the plurality of battery device cell regions and to isolate each of the second current collectors extending spatially outside of the battery device cell region within a first and second isolated region, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20110080476
    Abstract: An embodiment describes a vision system capable of inspecting large areas with high accuracy and speed. According to embodiments, a more sophisticated system is used that allows the camera to see the entire workpiece surface. Prior art devices used cameras with a fixed field-of-view. This causes problems with finding parts accurately all over the field, especially when their locations are not known or they exist outside of the fixed field-of-view of a camera. An embodiment uses our scanner scheme described in detail above that can find fiducial marks accurately over the entire workpiece.) A calibration is used to correct for perspective distortions that occur from viewing the fiducial marks from the skewed angles. The calibration also corrects for various errors in several possible optical configurations.

  • Publication number: 20050171630
    Abstract: Predictive models of physical parts of the laser processing system part determined. These predictive models are used to determine how the physical system will actually react. The predicted reaction from the models is used as feedback in order to produce the control signals. These physical models therefore adjust to the operation of the system, much in the way that actual feedback would adjust the operation of the system. However, the system may be used at faster speeds, where the actual feedback could not be produced fast enough. Different kinds of modeling are described, including in-position feedback which models sharp movements of the laser system, trajectory models which superimpose the commanded curve over the predicted actual curve to determine errors in trajectory, and constant/variable energy density controls.
