Patent number: 8379204Abstract: A method makes a discrete adjustment to static alignment of a laser beam in a machine for selectively irradiating conductive links on or within a semiconductor substrate using the laser beam. The laser beam propagates along a beam path having an axis extending from a laser to a laser beam spot at a location on or within the semiconductor substrate. The method generates, based on at least one measured characteristic of the laser beam, at least one signal to control an adjustable optical element of the machine affecting the laser beam path. The method also sends said at least one signal to the adjustable optical element. The method then adjusts the adjustable optical element in response to said at least one signal so as to improve static alignment of the laser beam path axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: GSI Group CorporationInventors: James J. Cordingley, Michael Plotkin, John Keefe

Patent number: 7723599Abstract: A device for reading and learning indicia, particularly music notation and other music-related indicia, is disclosed. The device is constructed with at least one sheet and has a main image portion and a hanging portion. The main image portion is foldable about first folds and second folds and the hanging portion is foldable about an edge fold and second folds to form a variety of display, storage and travel configurations, including a poster configuration, self-standing configuration, storage pocket configuration and pocket folder configuration. Fastening devices are employed to releasably maintain contact between the surfaces of the learning device. Indicia may be positioned anywhere on the learning device to facilitate reading and learning.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: InkTree, Inc.Inventors: Michael Eric Braun, John Keefe, Peter W. Keefe, Jennifer L. Keefe, legal representative

Patent number: 7723600Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a display device for displaying indicia and/or printed material. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for a display device for displaying indicia and/or printed material, as well as for storing, packaging and/or housing CDs or DVDs or the like. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides for a display device that is convertible between a poster for displaying indicia in a group or solitary setting free of interruptions or discontinuities in the display of indicia; a self-standing structure or configuration for displaying the indicia without the need of a separate support device; a storage pocket configuration for conveniently storing items; and a pocket folder and/or CD/DVD packaging configuration for housing and/or storing CDs/DVDs and/or other items or the like, and for transporting the display device and/or CDs/DVDs or the like. Indicia may be positioned anywhere on the display device.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2008Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: InkTree, Inc.Inventors: Michael Eric Braun, John Keefe, Peter Keefe, Jennifer L.

Patent number: 5138184Abstract: A solid state, static power supply control mechanism for coordinated transfer of a load from a preferred source of AC power to an alternate source of AC power should the level of power transmitted from the preferred source fall below a set, adjustable level and thereafter, upon re-establishment of the proper level of operating power of the preferred source, re-transfer of the load from the alternate source to the preferred source. A unique method of current interlock prevents the alternate power source from connecting to the load until the current from the preferred source is absolutely interrupted, with the same criteria required for re-transfer from the alternate to the preferred source of power. This mechanism and associated switching technique insures supply of power to the load regardless of the preferred power source failure mode and regardless of the phase relation of the preferred and alternate sources of power.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1990Date of Patent: August 11, 1992Assignee: PowerTrol, Inc.Inventor: John Keefe

Patent number: 4445277Abstract: A device as disclosed to facilitate the placement of locks into doors including key-in-knob lock sets, mortise deadlocks as well as independent knobs and deadbolts. The device includes a body which is detachably securable with respect to a door edge in which it includes calibrations or gradations therealong in order to align the correct spacing normally independently measured by a locksmith. The body member defines an aperture along the portion adjacent to the edge of the door, which aperture is adapted to receive selectively a plate for guiding of boring in through the edge as well as to receive a plate for guiding of routing out the edge of the door about the bored out hole to provide a recess to receive the face of the locking mechanism. The pilot block for guiding of the boring is movable with respect to the plate placed into the aperture of the body.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1982Date of Patent: May 1, 1984Inventor: John Keefe
