13/532526

Inventors:

Steven J. King - Newfields NH, US
Gerald I. Padnos - Cary NC, US

Assignee:

MICROSCAN SYSTEMS, INC. - Renton WA

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

Appl. No.:

6/801114

Inventors:

Steven M. King - Westboro MA

Assignee:

Barry Wright Corporation - Newton Lower Falls MA

International Classification:

G01L 516
H01C 1012

US Classification:

7386204

Abstract:

A low cost sensor is described. The sensor is responsive to the component of a force applied to the sensor relative to an axis of the sensor. The sensor comprises rigid, spaced-apart support members. At least one pair of electrically-conductive elements are positioned to move with the support members in response to the force, contact and compress against one another as the force component varies relative to the axis such that the electrical impedance between the two elements changes as said component of force changes.

Appl. No.:

9/134397

Inventors:

Jonathan Edmund Ludlow - Lexington MA
Steven Joseph King - Merrimack NH

Assignee:

Acuity Imaging, LLC - Nashua NH

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382149

Abstract:

An inspection system and method uses a first illumination apparatus to illuminate one or more features, such as solder balls on an electronic component or other protruding surfaces or features on an object being inspected. Once the object being inspected is illuminated, a first reflected image of the plurality of features is captured by an illumination detection device. The first reflected image is stored in an image buffer. The object being inspected is then illuminated by at least one additional illumination apparatus. Each additional illumination apparatus is selected so that it differs from the other illumination apparatuses in either geometrical arrangement, degree of diffusion or illumination characteristic. An additional reflected image of the object is then captured by the illumination detection device while the object is illuminated by each additional illumination apparatus. Each additional reflected image is also stored in an image buffer.

Filed:

Sep 12, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/581640

Inventors:

Richard A. Benson - Bedford MA
Steven M. King - North Grafton MA

Assignee:

MKS Instruments, Inc. - Andover MA

International Classification:

F16K 3102
G05D 706

US Classification:

25112906

Abstract:

An improved control and shut off valve assembly is disclosed. The preferred valve assembly provides sufficient forces to overcome biasing forces so as to provide adequate shut off at a leakage rate of less than 10. sup. -9 std cc/sec of He with an atmospheric differential of Helium applied across the valve seat of the assembly, and precise control of the flow rate, all as a function of a single electrical control signal. In accordance with another aspect the valve seat is made from a material softer than the valve seat engagement means so that the seat is coined by the valve seat engagement means when first used so as to insure tight tolerances for sealing the valve passageway during the shut off mode. Finally, in accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, the valve assembly is constructed with no separate parts within the flow path so as to maintain a clean passageway.

Filed:

Jul 15, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/275971

Inventors:

Richard D. Ericson - North Andover MA
Steven M. King - Littleton MA

Assignee:

MKS Instruments, Inc. - Andover MA

International Classification:

A16K 122

US Classification:

251308

Abstract:

A chemically-resistant fluid control valve is disclosed generally comprising fluid inlet and outlet passages separated by fluid control means, which control means comprise a flapper plate disposed in the fluid passageway and mounted on a rotatable shaft that passes laterally through the fluid passageway by means of releasable fasteners adapted to engage correspondingly-shaped fastener elements of the flapper plate, which elements are also adapted to receive the shaft in a channel between the fastener elements, wherein at least all wetted surfaces of each of the several components consist essentially of a chemically-resistant material.
