  • Publication number: 20050126386
    Abstract: The piston of a fluid motor divides the cylinder into two variable volumes into which and from which fluid may be selectively introduced and exhausted via ports through the cylinder to relatively move the piston and the cylinder. The piston is modified to define two fixed-volume chambers that respectively communicate with the variable volumes via restrictive orifices. In selected relative piston-cylinder positions, the chambers communicate with the ports to restrict fluid flow into and out of the variable volumes and to decrease the velocity of relative piston-cylinder movement. In other relative piston-cylinder positions, the chambers do not communicate with the ports and fluid enters and leaves the variable volumes directly through the ports to relatively move the piston-cylinder at a higher velocity.

  • Publication number: 20050098180
    Abstract: A mask with a three-dimensional structure provides a one-piece structure with an upper portion, the middle portion, and a lower portion. A molded notch is located at both nasal bridge of the upper portion and chin of the lower portion. The upper portion and lower portion are reversely folded so as to form a pleat for supporting the middle portion as a three-dimensional structure mask. The three-dimensional structure mask meets the facial configuration design for accommodating to different facial shapes. Furthermore, the mask with a three-dimensional structure has a normal range of elasticity to conform to certain facial contours, therefore, decreases leakage occurrence, and increases filtration rate in a high pollution environment. More, the upper portion and the lower portion of the mask are folded in a reverse direction for avoiding a contacting pollution from touching the inner surface.

  • Patent number: 6814503
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for aligning an array of light transmitting elements to an array of photosensitive detectors. The array is adjusted along three axes. Any element (a coupled transmitting and detecting unit of the array) can be selected as the center of rotation. Small angular correction is made about the selected element by differentially moving the array in two axes, using adjustment tools. Alignment is accomplished by performing translational movement in the horizontal X and Y axes until a signal is detected. A rotational correction about the selected element is performed by moving one of a pair of adjustment devices until maximum light intensity is achieved for the end elements. Next, the array is scanned for the weakest performing element in the array. The alignment procedure is repeated until the performance of all of the elements in the array fall within a pre-established specification range.

  • Patent number: 6721187
    Abstract: A multi-layer electronic structure includes an increased capacity for the attachment of active or passive devices thereto. This is achieved by creating a three-dimensional grid of connection points to electrically couple active or passive surface mounted devices to edge mounted devices. The grid pattern is useful with any laminate including circuit cards, ceramic modules and flexible circuits. The variety of electrical devices that may be connected to the cross-sectional substrate includes, but is not limited to, chips such as semiconductor chips, diodes, resistors, capacitors and printed wiring boards. The structure can be used to more rapidly pass data, such as optical data that is transmitted from a spectroscope through a VCSEL laser and the electronic structure to a computer for diagnostics and analysis. A stepped arrangement of circuitized laminates is described for this purpose.

  • Patent number: 6657219
    Abstract: An optical detection and measurement system for selectively detecting the plane of the reflective surfaces of a workpiece. A laser source provides a low power, single wavelength collimated beam of light which is directed onto a workpiece. The beam is passed through a converging lens to a reflected focus on a quad detector. The light beams reflected from the workpiece pass through a diverging lens to the quad detector. The non-diverging optical axis center of the diverging lens is aligned with the center of the quad detector so that a reflected beam passing through the non-diverging optical axis center of the diverging lens creates equal photocurrent outputs from each of the four photosensitive elements of the quad detector to produce a null condition. Where the workpiece is made up of translucent or transparent layers which produce multiple reflected beams, reflected beams from surfaces other than the surface of interest are deflected away from the active surface of the quad detector by the diverging lens.
