  • Patent number: 7982513
    Abstract: Eight or more transition points are generated during a given period, and are used in tracking movement of an interferometer reflector. Duty cycles of generated square waves are used to establish precise intervals between the transition points, and precise wave-phase relationships.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2011
    Assignee: MKS Instruments, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert M. Carangelo, Paul C. Jette, Jack Kisslinger

  • Patent number: 5473429
    Abstract: The method and apparatus effect reversal of a body moving at constant velocity, such as an interferometer reflector, by applying a retrograde electromagnetic force that varies in direct proportion to the distance the body has travelled past the point at which turn around is commenced. Circuitry employed is switched between proportional and integral control configurations, the latter permitting sine-wave oscillation to occur in a servo control loop during reversal.

  • Patent number: 4134684
    Abstract: A flaw detection system is provided in which a source of radiation is scanned across a web of moving material being examined for repeat defects. The web is divided into lanes for processing purposes, and flaw information derived from the surface of material being examined is processed to provide a two-coordinate matrix location (lane and down-web), which is stored. This circuitry without the matrix outputs has other applications. Separation distances of a repeat flaw in the same lane are compared with a predetermined list, and if a match occurs, future flaw locations are projected in that lane. A repetition of a predetermined number of flaw repeats in a given lane signals an alarm. A predetermined number of misses in a row will result in the clearing of that lane of the particular flaw that failed to repeat.
