Abstract: A calibration system for a climate system utilizing closed loop feedback and a phase change cell includes controlling a transfer rate of energy between a phase change cell and a thermal mass based on at least a temperature of the thermal mass. The transfer rate is controlled in order to control the temperature of the thermal mass and selectively move a material in the phase change cell through a phase change with transferred energy. In particular, the temperature of the thermal mass is controllable when the material is maintained in the phase change. A thermal sensor in the thermal mass may also be calibrated based on the temperature of a thermal sensor in the phase change cell during a predetermined portion of the phase change.

Abstract: A laser system is configured to form laser-induced channels in a substrate at a plurality of spaced apart locations along a process path. The laser system includes a laser delivery assembly that receives the laser beam along a receiving axis and directs the laser beam toward the substrate along an impingement axis that forms an oblique angle with a surface of the substrate. The substrate can be divided into separate first and second portions along a separation surface having a draft angle, thereby facilitating substrate division with a zero-kerf process.

Abstract: A laser system includes a laser configured to emit pulse bursts and a motion device in optical communication with the laser. The motion device moves a laser beam along a process path on a substrate and is configured to have a natural frequency that is greater than an operating frequency of the laser system. The laser system enables high and constant speed processing along tight radii in the process path, which is useful to form laser induced channels along the process path with equal spacing.

Abstract: An interlocking block for interacting with other like blocks including a body having at least a front face, a rear face, a top face, a bottom face and a pair of side faces. The bottom face can have a plurality of substantially identical parallel transverse indentations but only in the bottom face. The grooves can have a constant cross-section and are spaced apart evenly between the front face and the rear face. There may be at least two substantially identical protrusions only on the top face, each protrusion being parallel with and in vertical alignment with one of the indentations, and receivable within a indentation of a like block. There are fewer protrusions than indentations.

Abstract: The system, method and program of the invention enables a new DTD to be dynamically created during runtime from a preexisting DTD. A next document is processed and validated according to the new DTD. An interface is provided that enables plug-in providers to provide fragments of DTD information for at least one new element to be added and the name of the element that is to be added to an existing parameter entity. All of the fragments from each plug-in provider are concatenated together and combined with the static header information of the preexisting DTD to form the new DTD.

Abstract: A fueling assembly for a fuel tank positioned in an engine driven welder. The fueling assembly includes a filler tube, a fuel level monitor and a grommet. The filler tube has a bottom portion and a top portion. The bottom portion of the filler tube has a cross-sectional area that is greater that any region in the top portion of the filler tube. The fuel level monitor includes a fuel level sensor position in the fuel tank and/or filler tube. The fuel level monitor includes a fuel level indicator positioned on a side of the housing so as to enable an operator to simultaneously view the fuel level indicator and the opening used to direct fuel into the filler tube during the filling of the fuel tank. The grommet at least partially seals the tube access opening to inhibit fluids entering the interior of the housing of the engine driven welder.

Abstract: An electric arc engine welder housing has an opening defined by the housing and a door connected to the housing. The door has a first panel and a second panel. The second panel has a pair of members extending from opposite ends of the second panel. The members are selectively received by slots formed on opposite walls of the opening. The members slide along the slots during movement of the second panel. The housing has mounting brackets each of which has a first leg and a second leg, each having an opening therethrough. The legs are substantially perpendicular to one another. The first leg is mounted to a side wall of the cabinet, and the second leg is mounted to a support surface for the cabinet. Fastening members secure the legs to the cabinet side wall and the support surface.

Abstract: A cabinet for an engine welder comprising an output power module driven by a DC input signal from a rectifier having an AC input signal created by an alternator rotated by an internal combustion engine. The cabinet has a front panel with a pivotally mounted door with an open and closed position. The door is used to expose a large accessible compartment. This compartment contains major components of the welder, such as the rectifier, the power source module, the control module of the engine and a support structure for the capacitors and diodes used to control the alternator.

Abstract: An integrated welder, generator and compressor unit that includes a housing that at least partially contains components of a welder, generator and an electric compressor. An engine, an electric current generator, and an electric air compressor are at least partially mounted in the housing. The electric current generator is at least partially connected to the engine to be at least partially driven thereby. The electric air compressor can be at least partially powered by the electric current generator during the operation of the engine. Alternatively, the air compressor can be powered by an external source of power without the use of the engine/generator.

Abstract: A wire saw and wafer stabilizing system are provided for holding wafer sections invariantly against vibration and unwanted movement during the sawing process. A stabilizing means is applied to the ends of partially defined wafer sections at an early stage when the wafer sections are partially cut through a silicon ingot or block of silicon material. The stabilizing means serves to stabilize the wafer sections immovably against vibration, oscillation, or unwanted contact during the subsequent sawing process. The stabilizing system also accelerates handling of the wafers after slicing is completed, facilitates the cleaning process, and allows for more rapid or automated placement of the wafers in cassettes. Wafers produced by the stabilizing system are characterized by a minimized total thickness variation, substantially uniform planarity, and substantially without bow or warp.
