  • Publication number: 20050004689
    Abstract: A micro-nanometer precision servo pneumatic X-Y positioning table comprises by two slide air cylinders and drives the two slide air cylinders by the servo control rule to make the pneumatic table to get the purpose of X-Y two degrees of freedom precision positioning. However, the pneumatic servo system is a high time-variant and nonlinear system and the nonlinear friction force; causes the stick-slip phenomenon of the servo pneumatic system. Therefore the. micro-nanometer precision servo pneumatic X-Y positioning table in accordance with the present invention has a new velocity feedback compensation method to overcome the nonlinear friction force and the stick-slip phenomenon. The new method is to add a velocity compensation signal, which periodic frequency is larger than the system's natural frequency into the control signals. The method is to put the velocity compensation signal directly into the servo valve control signals.

  • Patent number: 5945774
    Abstract: An improved crystal oscillator package is described in which the crystal oscillators are attached to ceramic substrates by means of connectors, formed from materials such as silver-platinum and silver, using thick film techniques. An optional opening in the substrate allows a liquid or gaseous medium to make easy contact with the oscillator chips' electrodes on which a biosensitive film of a specific receptor has been deposited, thereby allowing the crystals to act as detectors. In the case of the multi-oscillator module, several different detectors may be present in the same unit.

  • Patent number: 5741431
    Abstract: Effective etching of several materials, including gallium nitride and gallium arsenide, without post etch surface damage has been achieved by using a mix of equal proportions of chlorine and methane. A sample is first cooled to a temperature of around 140.degree. K and is then irradiated by a series of pulses from a UV laser (for example a 193 nm ArF excimer laser). Using fluences of about 400 mJ/cm.sup.2 per pulse at repetition rates of about 10 pulses/second, an etch rate for gallium nitride of about 0.7 Angstroms per pulse was achieved. Typical pressure for the chlorine methane mix was about 2 mtorr. To achieve selective etching a number of approaches are possible including contact masking, projection printing, raster scanning, and moveable shadow masking with collimated laser light.
