Abstract: An optical alignment system for aligning an optical component is provided. The system includes an alignment component configured to be moveable in a plane and in a fixed relationship with the optical component. Typically the alignment component houses an optical fibre MT ferrule. One or more driving components are further provided typically in the form of a ball headed adjustment screw. The driving components are configured to be moveable, relative to the alignment component, in a first linear direction. At least a component of the first linear direction is parallel with the normal of the plane. The driving component, when forced along the first linear direction and in contact with the alignment component, imparts a force upon the alignment component, in the plane, to move the optical component in the plane. An alignment frame accommodating the driving components may also be provided.

Abstract: A device, including a vibratory apparatus having an actuator configured to generate vibrations upon actuation of the actuator, including plurality of lever arms, wherein the vibratory apparatus is configured such that at least a respective portion of respective lever arms of the plurality of lever arms move about at least one of a single or a respective hinge when the vibratory apparatus is generating vibrations.

Abstract: A device, including an implantable microphone, including a chamber in which media corresponding to at least one of a liquid or a fluid resistant to compression is located such that vibrations originating external to the microphone are effectively transmitted through the media.

Abstract: A rotary valve capable of high flow rates, minimal pressure drop, and rapid actuation is presented. According to one aspect, the rotary valve is characterized by a unique pressure balancing system operating on the rotary spool of the valve to reduce side force caused by pressure at the flow ports. According to another aspect, the rotary valve (700) is characterized by a internal shiftable blocking spool (790) in response to a failure condition or a modulating signal. According to another aspect, an interface is provided for sealing a port of a rotary valve to an outer surface of a rotary spool. According to another aspect, the rotary valve is characterized by an interface provided for sealing a port to an outer surface of the rotary spool. According to another aspect, a rotary valve is characterized by a three-way three-or-more-position configuration. According to another aspect, a rotary valve is characterized by a four-port three-position configuration.

Abstract: One embodiment of an independent engine throttle override comprised of an override switch in conjunction with of an override module which houses a fixed resistor and switching relay to provide the capability to return a runaway automotive engine to idle speed without impacting operability of other vehicle control systems.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for material separation and conveying using tuned waves are disclosed.

Abstract: Packages and methods of packaging a plurality of glass sheets provide a stack of glass sheets with an interleaf protective sheet positioned between each adjacent pair of glass sheets. An outer portion of each interleaf protective sheet is bent over a portion of the peripheral edge of one of a corresponding adjacent pair of glass sheets to discourage relative shifting of the glass sheets with respect to one another. The stack of glass sheets are sandwiched between pressure members of an outer housing such that the pressure members each apply a support pressure that is distributed over an outer surface of a corresponding one of the pair of outermost glass sheets of the stack of glass sheets.

A first end of a spout projects outwardly from the housing, and a second end of the spout is in fluid communication with the upper open end of the hollow needle. A cartridge of pressurized, inert gas is mounted to the housing. The cartridge is in communication with an upper end of a gas conduit, which is mounted within the hollow needle.

Abstract: A high-resolution image is generated using multiple spatially offset lower-resolution digital micro-mirror device (DMD) panels. Multiple lower-resolution subframe signals for controlling the spatial light modulators are generated from a high-resolution image signal using a resolution reduction and interpolation algorithm. The spatial light modulators under control of the subframe signals are illuminated by a light source and light beams reflected from the spatial light modulators are combined and directed onto a screen for display.
