Patent number: 6205994Abstract: A scribing machine adapter plate is configured to receive and couple a hoop assembly to a chuck on a scribing machine. The adapter plate includes an upper surface and an inner annular vacuum groove and an outer annular vacuum groove formed in the upper surface. A third vacuum groove extends radially between, and communicates with, the inner and outer grooves. The outer vacuum groove includes a vacuum inlet hole that extends from the groove through the adapter plate to provide communication between a vacuum channel in the chuck and the vacuum grooves in the plate. The polymer film of the hoop assembly is disposed on the upper surface to seal the vacuum grooves to hold the film in place during scribing of materials placed on the film.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1998Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Michael Freund, George John Przybylek, Dennis Mark Romero, Raymond Frank Gruszka

Patent number: 6158944Abstract: A laser bar loading and unloading apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mounting surface, a movable coating fixture having a plurality of spacers, and at least a first vacuum source for providing a vacuum on a laser bar mounted on the mounting surface. The spacers are movable to place a fully loaded fixture in a closed position and to place an empty fixture in an opened position. A second vacuum source directs a vacuum on a laser bar to assist in moving the laser bar into the fixture and onto one of the spacers. A third vacuum source directs a vacuum on the loaded laser bars to maintain their position in the fixture.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John E.

Patent number: 6109861Abstract: A device and method for the automated rotating of semiconductor objects during the fabrication process is disclosed. The device uses a slotted base fixture with a channel, lifting members with ducts, and a vacuum. Semiconductor objects are rotated from a vertical position to a substantially horizontal essentially evenly spaced parallel configuration. The positioning of the semiconductor objects by the device is such that the facet end of each semiconductor object remains undisturbed. The configuration of the semiconductor objects allows for quick and easy transfer to a storage surface or transfer to further semiconductor processing steps.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1998Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Michael Freund, Raymond Frank Gruszka, George John Przybylek, Dennis Mark Romero

Patent number: 5989637Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing overspray onto bonding pads of a laser bar during facet coating includes manufacturing inserts with gaskets that are aligned with the laser bar such that the gaskets mask off the bonding pads during the facet coating process so that no overspray onto the bonding pads occurs. The gaskets are preferably made of gold with a thin titanium coating to prevent thermal compression bonding with the bonding pads. The inserts with gaskets are preferably manufactured using standard wafer processing techniques. The gaskets are preferably formed using the compliant layer metalization process described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,817.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1998Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John S. Rizzo, Gustav Edward Derkits, Jr., Raymond Frank Gruszka, John E.

Patent number: 5720306Abstract: A high humidity drying apparatus for cut tobacco is shown. The apparatus has a furnace which heats circulated air within the apparatus. The air is forced through a first arcuate elbow which has a tobacco air inlet located thereon for inserting the cut tobacco into the airstream. The tobacco is then redirected into a vertically extending drying chamber. The air entrained tobacco is then forced through a second arcuate elbow which places the tobacco into a tangential separator for removing the tobacco from the heated air. The separator has dual air exhausts, each leading to a high efficiency cyclone for further removal of the tobacco dust form the circulated air. All of the air is then passed back to the furnace for heating and then recirculated through the drying apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1996Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: Brown & Williamson Tobacco CorporationInventors: Kevin R. Korte, Sr., Stacey Claire Braxton, Kayyani Adiga, Raymond Frank Werkmeister, Carlton Andrew Soots

Patent number: 4475102Abstract: An apparatus primarily for bird dispersal purposes at an airport has a remote control means provided for controlling operation of one or more sound emitting devices adapted to cause a detonation or emit a detonation-like sound at a required position or positions, e.g. in relation to an airport runway. The control is such that after a sound emission the device or each device is ready for further operation. Each device may consist of a combustion chamber having an outlet, the remote control means including a timer for initiating admission of fuel such as propane gas into the chamber for a pre-determined period followed by automatic ignition of the fuel/air mixture for detonation thereof. The remote control includes provision for selective operation of the devices at different positions, e.g. adjacent a runway, and also provision for selection of devices for operation at a particular runway in use or at other required locations, i.e., where there is more than one runway or location.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1981Date of Patent: October 2, 1984Assignee: Coventry City CouncilInventors: David P.

Patent number: 4065299Abstract: A magnesium reclamation process whereby magnesium and magnesium alloy fines, chips and scraps may be recovered and remelted for reuse. The method is comprised of the steps of pelletizing the magnesium by first compacting the magnesium with a low pressure press so as to initially expel the majority of the air, followed by a high pressure press under a controlled environment to form a compact pellet. The pellets are then melted either by stacking on the cold heel of a pot and heating under a controlled environment or pre-heating in a basket over a melt, and then subsequently immersing the load. Melting can also be accomplished by controlled melting, utilizing an induction melting furnace whereas temperature can be slowly increased. Pelletizing pressures range from approximately the yield pressure to the cold welding pressure of the material being reclaimed. A typical pelletizing environment is 20% SF.sub.6 and 80% CO.sub.2 and a suitable melting environment is 98% CO.sub.2 and 2% SF.sub.6.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1975Date of Patent: December 27, 1977Assignee: Teledyne Industries, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Todhunter Roberts, David Vincent Owens, Raymond Frank Goodspeed

Patent number: 4027218Abstract: An electronic control for a laundry washing machine is timed by mains derived pulses which are counted for timing. A plurality of executive blocks are summoned in turn to regulate the various operations by time signals from the counter and by sensers denoting the conditions are right; the drum speed is derived from an error signal but the speed regulating signal mainly comprises the integral of the true error signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1974Date of Patent: May 31, 1977Assignee: Doublefell LimitedInventors: Alan Polkinghorne, Raymond Frank Wood

Patent number: 3974432Abstract: In a process control system for machines operating according to a repetitive cycle, with a number of machine events occurring in appropriate mutual phase relationship during the cycle, transducers are employed in association with rotating parts of the machine to generate reference pulses, one at the end of each complete cycle, and a large number of marker pulses equally between consecutive reference pulses. The marker pulses drive a counter which is reset to zero by each reference pulse; and at each count increment the count is compared with he whole contents of a memory in which is stored count numbers constituting data as to the points in the machine cycle at which particular events are to commence and terminate, with output stages responsive to the comparator and the memory addressing control giving output control signals when number identity is recognized.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1975Date of Patent: August 10, 1976Assignee: Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering LimitedInventor: Lionel Raymond Frank Thompson
