Patent number: 8676375Abstract: An automated cassette-to-cassette substrate handling system includes a cassette storage module for storing a plurality of substrates in cassettes before and after processing. A substrate carrier storage module stores a plurality of substrate carriers. A substrate carrier loading/unloading module loads substrates from the cassette storage module onto the plurality of substrate carriers and unloads substrates from the plurality of substrate carriers to the cassette storage module. A transport mechanism transports the plurality of substrates between the cassette storage module and the plurality of substrate carriers and transports the plurality of substrate carriers between the substrate carrier loading/unloading module and a processing chamber. A vision system recognizes recesses in the plurality of substrate carriers corresponding to empty substrate positions in the substrate carrier.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Veeco Instruments Inc.Inventors: Joseph Arthur Kraus, Jeremy James Boyer, Joseph Mack, Michael DeChellis, Michael Koo

Patent number: 8626523Abstract: A system for obtaining patient medical information from a currently treating physician to a hospital admitting physician. A physician wishing to admit a patient dials a phone number, enters relevant patient medical data, and then leaves a recording describing the patient's condition. This recording is then stored in a database where it can be played back through an electronic medical record. The recording is also sent directly to the admitting physician's cell phone who can then tend to the patient as needed.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: MedOne Systems, LLCInventors: Joseph A. Mack, Nicholas P. Nelson

Patent number: 6840890Abstract: A control system and calibration method are provided for a vehicle drive line having an automated master friction clutch. The control system utilizes engine torque data supplied by a serial communication data link to identify a clutch control parameter value corresponding to an urge-to-move position of the clutch. The clutch control parameter value identified by the calibration method is stored and utilized by the control system to control the engagement position of the automated clutch in an “urge to move” mode of operation. The inventive calibration method can be utilized across multiple vehicle platforms having different engine, clutch and transmission system components.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2002Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: William Joseph Mack, Donald Speranza, Anthony Stasik, Kwok Wah Chan, Jeffrey Philip Hawarden, Robert Stanley Wheeler, Timothy Peter Kelly

Patent number: 6126708Abstract: An air duct has a filter mount opening originally intended to accept a shallow filter element for filtering air entering the duct. The opening has an interior flange whose original purpose was to support the shallow filter element. This flange has interior edges defining an air passage opening. The invention is implemented a filter unit including a frame and a deep filter element mounted in the frame. The frame has dimensions allowing the filter unit to replace the conventional shallow filter element with the frame inserted into the air passage opening and closely spaced to all of the interior edges. A resilient gasket is mounted adjacent to the opening's interior flange and projects slightly into the air passage opening so as to contact the deep filter element's frame. The gasket prevents air leakage between the interior flange's interior edges and the frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1998Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Joseph A. Mack, Wallace Ronald Saldin, Brad A. Terlson, Edward L. Schwarz

Patent number: 5944860Abstract: A frame supports a deep filter element to allow the filter element to be installed in a duct's conventional air intake opening as a replacement for a conventional shallow filter element. The frame has a flange to mate with a surface of the intake opening's interior flange. In one embodiment, two identical side panels are assembled with the relatively stiff end panels of a particular filter element to form the frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1997Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Assignee: Honeywell Inc.Inventors: Joseph A. Mack, Wallace Ronald Saldin, Brad A. Terlson, Edward L. Schwarz
