Abstract: An adjustment system comprising: a pivot nut comprising a pivot nut aperture feature configured to accept the lower portion of a pivot bolt; a floor mount having a slot in which the pivot nut is slidingly engaged so as to have, e.g., simultaneous movement including forward-backward, side-to-side and rotational and axial articulation, the floor mount having a floor mount aperture that aligns with the pivot nut aperture; and a cover configured to mount over the floor mount and engage with the pivot nut so as to move with the pivot nut.

Abstract: An adjustment system comprising: a pivot mount block comprising an aperture configured to allow an upper portion of the pivot bolt to pass through the pivot mount block, the aperture having a lower radius greater than an upper radius so as to form ledge feature; and a bearing inserted in the aperture, wherein the ledge and a lower portion of the bearing is configured to rest on a pivot height-adjustment nut that is on the upper portion of the pivot bolt, or on a second bearing that rests on the pivot-height-adjustment nut on the upper portion of the pivot bolt, and wherein the upper portion of the pivot bolt extends out of the pivot mount block to pivotally support a frame that is mounted on the pivot mount block.

Abstract: A method for installing a multiple axis adjustable pivot bearing assembly, comprising: Installing and adjustment-pivot unit: using bolts or screws to install a pivot floor mount, comprising a pivot floor mount aperture and a slot, to a floor, sliding a pivot square nut with a pivot square nut aperture into the slot such that the pivot square nut aperture is aligned the pivot floor mount aperture, place a pivot cover, comprising a pivot cover aperture, over the pivot floor mount, such that the pivot square nut aperture, the pivot floor mount aperture, and the pivot cover aperture are aligned so as to receive a lower portion of a pivot bolt, installing the pivot bolt into the pivot square nut aperture and through the pivot floor mount aperture and the pivot cover aperture, such that a pivot disk, which is part of or assembled to the pivot bolt, is partially in a recess feature of the pivot cover, installing a height-adjustment nut onto an upper portion of the pivot bolt above the pivot disk, placing a pivot mou

Abstract: Apparatus in a vacuum deposition system positions a workpiece holder in substantial alignment with a source of material to be deposited onto a work piece affixed to the workpiece holder. The apparatus also rotates the workpiece holder about the deposition source and linearly drives the workpiece holder to varying distances from the deposition source. The apparatus used to drive the workpiece holder is sealably mounted atop an opening in the vacuum chamber. The apparatus enables multiple source depositions to be carried out consecutively without accessing the vacuum chamber. By aligning the workpiece holder over the deposition source, nonuniform deposition onto the workpiece is substantially eliminated.

Abstract: Briefly, the apparatus in accordance with this invention features an energy coaxial feedthrough fix-mounted in the wall of the vacuum chamber for supplying electrical and mechanical energy from sources located externally of the vacuum chamber to within the vacuum chamber. Additionally, the apparatus includes a movable coaxial coupler capable of releasably engaging the coaxial feedthrough and additionally releasably latching a substrate holder. Finally, the apparatus includes a linkage assembly located within the chamber connected to the coupler so that the coupler may be located in a first position proximate an access port in the chamber wall to facilitate quick and convenient loading of a substrate holder and a second position in which the coupler may be connected to the feedthrough for uniformly transmitting electrical and mechanical energy to the substrate holder and the substrates thereon.
