Patent number: 11042016Abstract: A Multi-Z confocal microscopy system can simultaneously record from multiple Z-sections, and thus performs high speed volumetric imaging. An illumination line can be formed by under-filling the illumination beam in the aperture of the microscope objective. The illumination line extends in the Z dimension into the target sample to be imaged and an X-Y scanning mechanism can be used to scan the illumination line over the sample. The detection signal emanating from the scanned sample can be collected through the full numerical aperture of the microscope objective and directed to a detector subsystem. The detector subsystem includes an array of reflecting pinhole detectors and each reflecting pinhole detector is configured to image a volume at a different depth in the sample. This configuration enables reflecting pinhole detector array to image more than one depth volume at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: TRUSTEES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITYInventors: Jerome Mertz, Amaury Badon, Timothy Weber, Sheng Xiao, Jean-Marc Tsang Min Ching

Patent number: 10540051Abstract: Techniques to facilitate obtaining feedback for an application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed on a display system of a computing system, wherein the GUI includes primary content and a user feedback prompt, and the primary content is displayed on a majority of the display system. Responsive to a user selection of the user feedback prompt, the GUI is expanded to reveal a feedback area on the display system that provides a mechanism to receive user feedback. User input comprising the user feedback is then received. Responsive to receiving the user feedback, the GUI is contracted to conceal the feedback area on the display system.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Abigail Plumb-Larrick, Matthew R. Ericsson, Timothy A. Weber

Publication number: 20070044043Abstract: A system for imaging a substrate can comprise an image data source, an electromagnetic radiation source operatively connected to the image data source and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation in accordance with information provided by the image data source, and a DBR film applied to a substrate. The DBR film can comprise two types of film layers, wherein the two types of film layers are each stable at ambient temperature, each of the two types of film layers having a glass transition temperature (TG) that is lower than the temperature needed to produce deformation of bulk material of the two types of film layers upon interaction with the electromagnetic radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2005Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventors: David Schut, Andreas Stonas, Robert Bass, Timothy Weber

Publication number: 20060238603Abstract: Systems and methods for printing on a print medium having a light-sensitive labeling layer are disclosed. The system includes a light source adapted to generate a light beam and a reflective surface adapted to deflect the light beam from the light source to a light-sensitive labeling layer of a print medium. The reflective surface is further adapted to rotate to cause the light beam to scan a scan region of the labeling layer. The light beam is adapted to activate the light-sensitive labeling layer of the print medium by causing a chemical change in the light-sensitive labeling layer to form an image.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2005Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: Douglas Snell, Leo Clarke, Makarand Gore, Timothy Weber

Publication number: 20060131264Abstract: Pillars are formed in a fully integrated thermal inkjet printhead to prevent particles from entering into a nozzle chamber along an ink refill channel. The pillars are formed after a step of applying a thin film structure to a substrate. At one step, pits are etched through the thin film structure. At another step, material for an orifice layer is deposited into the pits. At another step, a firing chamber is etched into the orifice layer. At another step, a trench is etched into the backside of the wafer in the vicinity of the filled pits. The material filling each pit is not removed and remains in place to define the respective pillars. Two or more pillars are formed within the trench for each inkjet nozzle chamber. Alternatively pillars are formed by depositing material into the underside trench and performing photoimaging processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2006Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: Naoto Kawamura, David Thomas, David Walter, Timothy Weber
