Patent number: 6679279Abstract: A fluidic valve (125, 300, 500, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300) switches a state of flow of a fluid in a fluid communication channel of a fluid guiding structure (505). Heating a bi-phase valve element (515, 1065, 1215) causes a change a state of the bi-phase valve element from a high viscosity state to a low viscosity state. A bi-phase valve element that clogs the fluid communication channel can be pushed into an expanded portion (135, 320, 520, 915, 1220) of the fluid communication channel by an application of pressure to the fluid while the bi-phase valve element is in the low viscosity state, unclogging the fluid communication channel. A bi-phase valve element can be pushed from a valve element source chamber (550, 1250) into the fluid communication channel by using a pumped fluid entering the source chamber at a pump inlet (551) while the bi-phase valve element is in the low viscosity state, clogging the fluid communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Robin Hui Liu, Justin J. Bonanno, Piotr Grodzinski, Randall Stevens

Patent number: 6166506Abstract: A robotic safety clutch that provides a wireless connection between the safety clutch and an robotic/automatic arm controller. The safety clutch includes a sensor for sensing a crash event and a radio frequency transmitter for transmitting a crash signal in response to the sensed crash event to a radio frequency receiver. The radio frequency receiver is connected to the robotic/automatic arm controller. Upon receiving the crash signal from the transmitter, the receiver sends a crash signal to the controller and in response to the crash signal, the controller shuts down all robotic/automatic functions.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1999Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Tregaskiss, Ltd.Inventors: Kenneth K.

Patent number: 5810353Abstract: A printer has one or more stacked sheet output units on top of it for increasing the printer's output capacity. Each unit includes a housing having a diverter as does the printer. The position of each diverter is controlled by a diverter/drive mechanism in the unit stacked on top of it. In its first position, the diverter of the printer or the unit diverts a fed sheet from a substantially vertical path therein to a sheet receiving area. In its second position, the diverter allows the fed sheet to be advanced by driven rolls to the unit thereabove. The feed rolls of a unit are driven only when the diverter in each of the printer and in any unit therebeneath are in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1997Date of Patent: September 22, 1998Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Michael Wesley Baskette, Billy Carl Chappel, Randall Steven Gall, Michael Earl Kennedy, Michael Craig Leemhuis

Patent number: 4300174Abstract: The tunnel-erase-type guard band "writing" along the tracks of a disk in a disk file is controlled by the same microcomputer which controls transducer repositioning in the seek mode. The micro-computer meters different delays for onset and cessation of erasing in relation to a signal (write gate) accompanying the data to be recorded; and these delays are longer for tracks having smaller diameters. The leading and trailing edges of the write gate signal trigger interrupts for the microcomputer, the interrupt channel is released only after the particular delay has been metered.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1979Date of Patent: November 10, 1981Assignee: PerSci, Inc.Inventors: Jefferson H. Harman, G. Randall Stevens

Patent number: 4237502Abstract: A disk drive for one or more spinning disks has a voice coil motor, driving the transducer carriage and controlled by two feedback loops, respectively, for hold and seek modes and enabled by a microcomputer which is additionally inserted into the seek mode feedback loop. The microcomputer receives step pulses from a controller host as well as detent pulses through a path of that seek loop; the pulses serve as interrupts and the microcomputer selects digital speed signals on the basis of step and detect pulse counts. An a/d converter inserts that signal as command into the seek loop.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1979Date of Patent: December 2, 1980Assignee: Per Sci, Inc.Inventors: Robert W. Erickson, Jr., G.
