  • Method of manufacturing touch sensor with switch tape strips
    Publication number: 20050110767
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to touch sensors with arrays of switches (e.g., diodes or transistors) that can be used to selectively apply voltage gradients across a resistive touch regions of the touch sensor substrate. Touches on the touch sensor can then be sensed by measuring the voltage at the touch location on the resistive touch region. The switch arrays take the form of strips of switches that can be cut from a prefabricated reel or a sheet and applied to the touchscreen substrate.

  • Nuclear low pressure packing casing for rotary machine and casing fabrication method
    Publication number: 20040090014
    Abstract: A nuclear low pressure packing casing having reduced horizontal joint leakage. This is accomplished by providing packing ring carriers that are separately formed from the casing so that thermal distortion loads will not be transmitted to the horizontal joints. In an embodiment of the invention, the packing ring carriers are fit in place in pre-machine grooves in the casing rather than being welded directly to the casing. According to further, optional feature of the invention, the vent or seal steam enters or exits at only one of the bottom quadrants rather than the entire bottom half so that the packing case design can be simplified to reduce fabrication and material costs.

  • Steam turbine inlet and methods of retrofitting
    Patent number: 6609881
    Abstract: A pair of steam turbine inlet ports are disposed at opposite sides of a steam turbine housing for flowing steam in opposite circumferential directions in a generally annular steam chamber to first stages of a turbine through axially opposite outlets. Portions of the chamber in the upper and lower housing have decreasing cross-sections in a generally circumferential direction away from the steam inlet portions to provide a substantially uniform flow of steam about the chamber in a generally radially inward direction and about and through the axial outlets.
