Abstract: A computer adapted to convert images into raw data can provide the raw data to a control interface adapted to transmit the raw data with timing information to an electronic driver circuit. The electronic driver circuit can convert the raw data with the timing information provided by a control interface into regulated current signals provided to the semiconductor laser array at 300 dpi and higher. The semiconductor array can convert the current signals into light to illuminate an imaging member. The laser array can comprise vertical cavity surface emitting lasers providing imaging greater than 300 dpi. Each semiconductor laser can operate at 50 mW or greater.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a component using a tool includes determining an actual property of a region of the component, comparing the actual property of the region of the component with an expected property of the region to determine a difference between the actual property and the expected property, and updating a path of the tool that is electronically stored in a memory and executable by a processor for fabricating the component based on the difference between the actual property and the expected property of the region.

Abstract: A method for aligning a first and a second component for manufacturing using an alignment member. The first component includes at least one first datum and the second component includes at least one second datum. The method includes fixedly securing the alignment member to a fixture in a first orientation relative to the fixture, coupling the first component to the fixture such that the at least one first datum is aligned with a corresponding datum locator of a first datum nest of the alignment member, removing the first component from the fixture, repositioning the alignment member relative to the fixture from the first orientation to a second orientation, fixedly securing the alignment member in the second orientation, and coupling the second component to the fixture such that the at least one second datum is aligned with a corresponding datum locator of a second datum nest of the alignment member.

Abstract: Total transient stress, which is the sum of residual, mechanical and thermal stresses, is calculated. Transient stresses are estimated using compressor discharge temperature and pressure, the rotational speed of the component and the elapsed time from the beginning of a transient. By using a general stress calculation, the total stress at the end of transients at each location in the rotary part being measured can be calculated. Maximum and minimum stress peaks are recorded for the transients and stress intensity factors for each location are calculated. Crack propogation is then calculated based on the stress intensity factors and the remaining life of the machine can then be calculated using new assumed crack length and design cycle of the machine.

Abstract: A golf putter having an elongated putter head of C-shaped configuration with an open side opposite the hitting face detachably carries a laterally insertable magnetic tape player cartridge which is spring latched to the head after insertion. The tape player cartridge carries a selective switch actuator within the side of the cartridge to effect limited audible tape play for several seconds.

Abstract: The specification discloses an improvement on double pane window assemblies comprising two at least generally parallel, spaced transparent or translucent panes defining a volume therebetween. The improvement comprises apparatus for selectively varying the color of the light passing through the panes.
