Patent number: 7606515Abstract: A coupling mechanism includes a driven coupling for mating with a driving coupling. The driven coupling includes a cylinder flange, a concentric shaft that extends axially outwardly from the flange, and a cylindrical driven coupling member that extends axially outwardly from the concentric shaft. The driven coupling member includes a flexible membrane that encases non-rigid fill material, such as, e.g., a flowable granular material or a non-Newtonian fluid. The driven coupling member has a non-twisted, triangular cross-section, and is configured such that, when it is operationally engaged with the driving coupling, the non-rigid material substantially solidifies, thereby providing a substantially non-flexible structure for the membrane. The driven coupling may be connected to, for example, a photoreceptor drum of a material supply module, and the driving coupling may be connected to a reprographic device.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Michael A. Parisi, Richard W. Seyfried, John G. Shaw

Patent number: 7537410Abstract: A driven coupling includes three separate cam lobes projecting therefrom that mate with mating female features in a driver coupling. A central straight or tapered bore accepts a conical alignment pin that projects from the driver coupling. Since the cam lobes are independent and are able to radically deflect, under torque load the central bore is closed down to create a highly precise alignment.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Michael A. Parisi, Robert S. Karz, Richard W. Seyfried, Shu Chang, John G. Shaw, Rachael L. McGrath, Jacqueline Y. Tyson

Publication number: 20090073397Abstract: Laminar flow gas curtains can be used in a lithographic apparatus to maintain a gaseous purity level within one or more components of the lithographic apparatus such as, for example, a wafer stage and a wafer handler system. In an embodiment, a method to design a flow conditioning channel for use in such gas curtains can include selecting a kinetic purge power (KPP) factor based on a predefined throw distance (L?) to a channel length (L) ratio (L?L), selecting the channel length (L) to a channel diameter (D) ratio (L/D) based on the KPP factor, determining the channel length for the predefined throw distance based on the (L?/L) ratio, and determining the channel diameter D based on the channel length to the channel diameter (L/D) ratio and the channel length L The channel length L and channel length D can be designed based on a predetermined nozzle exit Reynold's number.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2008Publication date: March 19, 2009Inventors: Herman Vogel, Michael Parisi

Publication number: 20070011169Abstract: A method utilizes a computer-based system, for processing data gathered from diverse sources and diverse formats by establishing an object. The method determines the format of a data source; determines a communication protocol to retrieve data from the data source; uses the object, using the determined format and communication protocol, to retrieve data from the data source, the object acquiring information and transforming the information into a consistent format; receives input from a user; instantiates, in accordance with the input from the user, the object; and conveys data generated by the object to the user. The data generated by the object may be displayed, reproduced, or manipulated on a user readable medium. Moreover, the data generated by the object may be displayable in a spreadsheet format. The method generates a wrapper function to invoke the object, the wrapper function including parameters that, when entered by a user, invoke the action of the component or object.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2005Publication date: January 11, 2007Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventor: Michael Parisi
