  • Patent number: 7040524
    Abstract: An automatic packaging method of optical elements includes a focusing platform set, a Z-axis feeder set and an automatic feeding set. The Z-axis feeder set is provided above the focusing platform set. An automatic feeding set is arranged on a horizontal plane between the Z-axis feeder set and the focusing platform set by an appropriate distance. An upper part and a lower part of an optical element are supported by the lower end of the Z-axis feeder set and the upper end of the focusing platform set, respectively. The lower end of the Z-axis feeder set is adjusted vertically and horizontally with respect to the focusing platform set such that the upper part and the lower part are arranged in a line and coincide with each other. Afterward, by using the automatic feeding set, the upper part and the lower part of the optical element are bound together via the solders.

  • Patent number: 6478571
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus of an injection molding machine includes a servo motor installed at the center of the rear platen and two timing belts to drive two ball screws so as to push a five point inwardly bending toggle mechanism to open the mold, close the mold and mold clamping. Moreover, a servo motor is fixed to the lateral side of the movable platen to drive the nuts of the screw to rotate so as to push the ball screw, ejector rod and ejector plate to move linearly for achieving the object of ejecting. An electromotive motor on the rear platen will drive the mold adjusting means. By the assisting of the servo motor on the rear platen, the function and object of automatic mold adjusting can be achieved rapidly.

  • Patent number: 6320537
    Abstract: A beam forming network having a division network for a hexagonal structure of elements, where the neighboring elements in the same column, having the same primary polarization, have three-way power division. The neighboring elements in adjacent columns, having a different primary polarization, have four-way power division. In the combining network, seven signals are combined from outputs of elements having the same polarization. Three of the signals will come from adjacent elements in the same column, and four signals will come from feeds in adjacent columns that are diagonal to the center element. The overlapping element configuration covers a large geographical area with reduced interference between neighboring elements. A waveguide implementation of the beam-forming network of the present invention is provided in which waveguides are structures so as to avoid crossovers, thereby eliminating interference and simplifying construction and assembly techniques.
