  • Patent number: 8456773
    Abstract: A lens module includes a holder, a connecting loop, engaging pins, an adjustment ring, a fixing pin; and a lens unit. The holder includes a barrel having a receiving space. The barrel defines sliding slots. The adjustment ring defines guiding grooves and a stopping slot. The connecting loop is received in the receiving space, the adjustment ring is sleeved over the barrel, and each engaging pin is secured with the connecting loop, an end of each engaging pin passing through a corresponding sliding slot and into a corresponding guiding groove. The fixing pin passes through the stopping slot and fixed with the barrel, the lens unit is secured with the connecting loop, the adjustment ring is rotated relative to the holder, and the engaging pin slides along the guiding groove, to cause the lens unit to axially move without rotating relative to the holder.

  • Patent number: 7193847
    Abstract: A blade server system is described. The blade server system includes a main chassis, a rear module chassis and a mid-plane. The main chassis is formed with slots into which a plurality of sever blades are slidablely inserted from the front end of the main chassis. The rear module chassis is removablely mounted to the rear end of the main chassis, and divided into plural partitions for housing different component modules. The mid-plane is mounted to an end of the rear module chassis, and includes a first face and an opposite second face. The first face has plural connectors electrically connected to the server blades and the second face has plural connectors electrically connected to the component modules.

  • Patent number: 6629450
    Abstract: A method for automatically conducting a leak test for a vacuum system includes receiving a process status input representing the completion of a manufacturing cycle. On determining that the process status is in a complete state, the vacuum system isolation valve is closed. In one embodiment, the first pressure input is measured at the beginning of the leak test and compared to a second pressure input measured at the expiration of timer. If the difference between the first and second pressure measurements are greater than the configurable threshold pressure, then the vacuum system is determined to be leaky. In another embodiment, the vacuum system is determined to be leaky if at least one of a series of pressure measurements exceeds the threshold pressure value. In response to the determination of the leak, an interlock signal to disable the operation of the vacuum system is activated.

  • Patent number: 6542839
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for calibrating the position of a cassette indexer in a semiconductor process machine are described. The apparatus is constructed by a base plate, a top plate and at least two support members rigidly attaching the top plate to the base plate in a parallel relationship. On the bottom side of the top plate, is mounted at least two spaced-apart rows of distance sensors each having at least five sensors capable of sensing a distance in the cavity of the calibration apparatus. After a wafer blade is extended into the cavity of the apparatus, a sensor in the front row and a sensor in the back row can be used to sense a front-to-back tilt of the wafer blade, while two adjacent sensors in the same row can be used to sense a side-to-side tilt of the wafer blade.
