Abstract: In various embodiments, multiple laser emitters are helically arranged around a central axis and emit their individual beams toward the central axis. A collection of mirrors is disposed at the central axis, and each mirror is angled so that the reflected beams all exit the helical stack, in parallel and vertically stacked, in the same direction toward a shared exit point.

Abstract: A spool assembly for a second stage of a servo valve comprises a spool having an axis (L) and an opening for a feedback member provided in a central region of the spool extending perpendicular to the axis. An adjustable joint is provided within the spool for securing a feedback member relative to the spool, comprising first and second jaw arms being displaceable relative to each other along the axis of the spool. The jaw arms have opposing clamping surfaces, wherein the clamping surfaces are arranged to be drawn towards each other as the jaw arms are drawn away from each other, such that a feedback member can be clamped between the opposed clamping surfaces of the jaw arms and thereby secured relative to the spool.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of generating a laser pulse of a desired energy and micro-machining a substrate using the laser pulse. A beam of light is provided from a laser source. The beam is directed via a modulator to produce an output laser pulse with a portion of the laser pulse being used to determine the energy of the laser pulse. The modulator is controlled so as to switch off the output laser pulse when the determined energy of the output laser pulse reaches a threshold value. The output laser pulse is steered to a substrate for micro-machining.

Abstract: A calling routine may identify portions of a data object that may be populated by other executable routines by creating a property requested event. An event may be created for the requested property and one or more subscribing routines may launch. The subscribing routines may process separately from the calling routine and return property values, which in turn may create a property changed event, which may be subscribed to by the calling routine. The calling routine may then process the requested data. In one embodiment, a data object may be populated on a property-by-property basis by various subscribing routines, creating a sparsely populated data object that may be updated dynamically by routines identified at runtime.

Abstract: A strut assembly includes an upper mount assembly, a shock absorber and a knuckle. The upper mount assembly is attached to a piston rod which is a part of the shock absorber. The knuckle is attached to an outer tube of the shock absorber which can be a reserve tube of a dual-tube shock absorber or a pressure tube of a single tube shock absorber. A reinforcement member increases the strength of the outer tube in the area that interfaces with the knuckle and the area that is directly above the knuckle.

Abstract: One or more visible user interface controls from a cache can be displayed. The user interface controls can also include one or more virtualized controls and one or more partially visible controls. In response to an indication to move in a dimension, one or more displays of visible user interface control(s) can be changed, and a control can be virtualized in the cache. Also, in response to the indication to move, one or more of the user interface controls in the cache can be recycled by performing population (i.e., populating the control) with data from outside the subset of data items in the data set. Additionally, an indication to change the number of controls in the data set can be received, and in response, the number of controls in the cache can be changed.

Abstract: A strut assembly includes a top mount assembly, a shock absorber, a multi-piece lower spring seat and a spring extending between the top mount assembly and the multi-piece lower spring seat. The multi-piece lower spring seat includes a spring seat belt holding the spring and a plurality of seating supports that are attached to the shock absorber and which support the spring seat belt.

Abstract: A method, material and apparatus for cold processing of ceramics wherein the ceramic contains a binder material which decomposes or otherwise produces large amounts of a gas upon heating so as to remove ablated material from the ceramic. The method, material and apparatus therefore provide self-cleaning ablation which allows for machining of ceramics at scales unachievable in the prior art.
