  • Publication number: 20090225449
    Abstract: A device for projecting images from a video generating device such as a computer, television receiver, or similar device onto a screen or other surface is described in this invention. The device uses a rotating disk containing numerous lenses to direct a light beam from a laser or other light source towards the screen. In one embodiment, a pulsed laser light from red, green, and blue lasers are combined into a single light pulse that is transmitted through the rotating disk that transmit each light pulse to a specific location on the screen.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7062335
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for accessing, controlling and monitoring a programable logic controller with a network client having a conventional web browser. The apparatus includes an archive, an interface, and a library. The archive provides for compiling an application written in code supported by the web browser. The interface is responsive to the application for establishing a connection between the controller and the network client. Further, the library is responsive to the application for supporting communication between the controller and the network client upon establishing a connection therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7058693
    Abstract: A control system includes an Internet web interface to a network of at least one programmable logic control system running an application program for controlling output devices in response to status of input devices. The Web interface runs Web pages from an Ethernet board coupled directly to the PLC back plane and includes an HTTP protocol interpreter, a PLC back-plane driver, a TCP/IP stack, and an Ethernet board kernel. The Web interface provides access to the PLC back plane by a user at a remote location through the Internet. The interface translates the industry standard Ethernet, TCP/IP and HTTP protocols used on the Internet into data recognizable to the PLC. Residing in the PLC is a programming package accessible to a user through this interface which will allow the user to edit programs controlling the operation of the programmable logic controller system.

  • Patent number: 6061603
    Abstract: A control system allows a user to access a programmable logic controller (PLC). system over a communication network such as an Internet network using a web browser. The system includes an Internet web interface between the network and the programmable logic controller. The Web interface serves Web pages from an Ethernet interface on a PLC and includes an HTTP protocol interpreter and a TCP/IP stack. The Web interface provides access to the PLC by a user at a remote location through the Internet. The interface translates the industry standard Ethernet, TCP/IP and HTTP protocols used on the Internet into data recognizable to the PLC. Using this interface, the user can retrieve all pertinent data regarding the operation of the programmable logic controller system.

  • Patent number: 5766968
    Abstract: A method of forming recesses in a substrate such as a capacitor so as to increase the surface area thereof and therefore the charge storage capacity of the capacitor. This is accomplished by utilizing a micro mask formed by agglomeration on the surface of the substrate. The agglomerated material, such as gold, titanium nitride or titanium silicide, is used as a mask for selectively etching the substrate to form recesses therein. Alternatively, an oxide transfer mask can be utilized with the agglomerated material micro mask to etch the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5732462
    Abstract: A fixture having an open ended housing cavity defined by an inwardly inclined wall, and including at least one moveable segment having an inwardly facing wall which defines one wall of a stack cavity configured for receiving a plurality of circuits chips positioned one over another for bonding together in a stack configuration, and an outwardly facing wall of the segment is inclined at the angle of the inclined wall of the housing and arranged in mating relation therewith such that when the segment is moved in one direction along the inclined wall of the housing, it will be urged inwardly to align the circuit chips within the stack cavity, and when urged in an opposite direction it can move outwardly to expand the stack cavity for loading and unloading.
