  • Patent number: 9554680
    Abstract: A cleaner head comprising a main body rotatably coupled to a neck, and a locking arrangement operable to permit rotation of the main body relative to the neck when the cleaner head is positioned on a surface and to prevent rotation of the body relative to the next when the cleaner head is lifted off a surface. The locking arrangement therefore stops the cleaner head from rotating undesirably when the cleaner head is lifted away from a cleaning surface.

  • Patent number: 8966709
    Abstract: A cleaner head that includes a suction inlet for admitting a first airflow, a turbine inlet for admitting a second airflow, an outlet for discharging the first airflow and the second airflow and an agitator and its drive assembly. A first airflow path then carries the first airflow from the suction inlet to the outlet, and a second airflow path carries the second airflow from the turbine inlet to the outlet. The drive assembly includes a turbine that is driven by the second airflow. A baffle is located in the second airflow path and is movable between an open position in which the second airflow path is unrestricted and a closed position in which the second airflow path is restricted. The baffle is biased in the open position and moves to the closed position when the dynamic pressure of the second airflow at the baffle exceeds a threshold.

  • Patent number: 4933301
    Abstract: A method of making semiconductor laser arrays having an impurity disordered pattern of waveguides at least some of which are directly joined at branching junctions. The region near the branching junctions provides a phase boundary condition in which lightwaves propagating in adjacent waveguides are in phase. Using one impurity dose and one disordering depth in a first portion of the pattern and another in a second portion of the pattern provides a combination of strong and weak waveguiding with strong waveguides that eliminate evanescent coupling from occurring at least in the branching junction regions, and with weak guides near one or both end facets permitting evanescent coupling. The evanescent coupling between adjacent weak waveguides preserves the in phase relationship that was established in the Y-junction regions, resulting in a diffraction limited single lobe far field output.

  • Patent number: 4809288
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser array having a plurality of waveguides at least some of which are directly joined at Y-junctions. The region near the Y-junctions provides a phase boundary condition in which lightwaves propagating in adjacent waveguides are in phase. A combination of strong and weak waveguiding is provided, with strong waveguides that eliminate evanescent coupling from occuring at least in the Y-junction regions, and with weak guides near one or both end facets permitting evanescent coupling. The evanescent coupling between adjacent weak waveguides preserves the in phase relationship that was established in the Y-junction regions, resulting in a diffraction limited single lobe far field output. Alternatively, even without evanescent coupling, the modes can adjust their phases in the weak waveguides, where the propagation constant is less tightly specified by the geometry.

  • Patent number: 4803691
    Abstract: A diode laser bar producing a linear array of laser beams without lateral superradiance. The laser bar has a double-heterostructure or quantum well structure. Etched channels in the substrate create lateral corrugations in the subsequently deposited layers including the active region. The corrugations alternate between offset groove and plateau regions in the lateral direction but are straight in the longitudinal light propagating direction. Any laterally propagating light is interrupted at steps, between groove and plateau regions, by deflection, scattering or transmission out of the active region. Interruption may also be achieved with a plurality of parallel etched grooves extending in the longitudinal direction. The grooves which cut through the active region present a semiconductor-air interface for reflection and/or scattering of laterally propagating light out of the active region.

  • Patent number: 4751711
    Abstract: A phased array laser having a laterally asymmetric variation in the gain or coupling of lasing elements of the array for emission in a single far field lobe. The lasing elements are confined by internal waveguide structuring, periodically spaced current confinement stripes, or by a hybrid of both waveguiding and current confinement. The widths, lengths, depths, or separations of the waveguides or stripes vary laterally across the array to affect the gain or coupling of the lasing elements. Alternate embodiments introduce lateral asymmetry in the active region or other layer thicknesses, doping, mirror facet reflectivities, A1 content of the layers, heat dissipation, or thicknesses of electrical contacts. The laterally asymmetric variations may be linear or nonlinear, monotonically increase from one edge to the other edge, or may be such that the relevant parameter is greatest or least in the center of the array.

  • Patent number: 4737989
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electronic ringing circuit for telephone systems. A capacitor is connected to the center tapping of a first coil inductively coupled to a transistor-controlled supply line. The other side of the capacitor is connected to the junction between two switches each switch being connected via an induction coil to one end of the first coil so that when the switches are switched in opposite senses load current is drawn in alternate directions from the capacitor.
