Patent number: 11121115Abstract: A positioning table, for example for a wire bonder has first and second arms, each of said first and second arms being independently drivable linearly along a first axis, and a stage that is engaged with both the first and second arms. The stage engages with each of the first and second arms via a respective engagement mechanism such that the stage is movable both linearly along the first axis, and rotatable about a rotary axis coincident with a center-point of the stage, the rotary axis being orthogonal to the first axis. Each engagement mechanism is configured to permit a respective distance between the center-point of the stage and an end of each of the first and second arms to vary during movement of an arm along the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: ASM TECHNOLOGY SINGAPORE PTE LTD.Inventors: Jan Van Eijk, Ronald Maarten Schneider, Jasper Anne Frido Marikus Simons, Timotheus Hubertus Christiaan Groothuijsen

Patent number: 9009978Abstract: A shaver includes a shaving unit having e.g., three shaving elements. Each shaving element accommodates a cutter member for cutting off hairs. Each shaving element further accommodates a gear wheel which is part of a transmission for coupling a drive shaft for driving the cutter member to an output shaft of a motor of the shaver. A top side of a space where the gear wheel is located is covered by a partition, where only the drive shaft extends through this partition. Each shaving element can be individually opened by removing a top portion of the shaving element, including the cutter member, from a base portion of the shaving element where the gear wheel, the drive shaft and the partition are located. An opening system may be provided to open all the shaving elements in one action by reversal of the direction of rotation of the output shaft, for example.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Ronald Maarten Schneider, Johannes Cornelius Antonius Muller, Peter Adrianus Albert Kemps, Jacob Brinkert, Geert-Jan Darwinkel, Mattheus Jacobus Van Der Meer

Patent number: 8458854Abstract: A device (1) comprises at least a body (2) and a bumper (6) which is movably attached to the body so as to protect the body from shock caused by collision with an obstacle during movement of the device across a surface. The bumper is attached to the body by means of at least one spring (9) extending in a direction which is at least substantially perpendicular to the direction into which the bumper is movable with respect to the body. Furthermore, a robot cleaner comprising such a device is provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ronald Maarten Schneider, Jan Willem Bruggers, Robertus Mathijs Gerardus Rijs, Jeroen Dekkers

Patent number: 8166876Abstract: A device (1) for transferring a pattern (12) from a stamp (10) to a substrate (20) comprises a table (22) for supporting a substrate (20), a flexible stamp (10) and a movably arranged body (25) having a pressure chamber (27) for exerting pressure on a portion of the stamp (10), so that the portion is pushed toward the substrate (20) and contacts the substrate (20). During a pattern transferring process, the body (25) is moved. As a result, adjacent portions of the stamp (10) successively go through a process of being pushed toward the substrate (20), getting in contact with the substrate (20), and being allowed to move back in place again. In this way, it is achieved that the pattern (12) of the stamp (10) is transferred to the substrate (20), without the introduction of vibrations, so that the transfer of the pattern (12) takes place in a highly accurate fashion.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2006Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ronald Maarten Schneider, Marinus Josephus Jakobus Dona, Michel Marcel Jose Decre

Patent number: 6903805Abstract: In a lithographic projection apparatus, a slider is provided for motion of the substrate table or mask table. The slider is supported on a gas-bearing and separates a region at atmospheric pressure from a vacuum space region. A differential pressure pump is provided to maintain the pressure difference in the presence of the gas-bearing. A pressure compensation vessel is provided on top of the slider and also contains a vacuum. Over most of the area of the slider, the pressure on its opposed first and second sides is the same and so deformation of the slider is avoided. The sidewalls of the pressure compensation vessel transmit the external gas pressure to the slider such that they are in line with the forces of the gas-bearing.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Ronald Maarten Schneider, Jakob Vijfvinkel
