Abstract: An electrically operated multiple folding system which enables a number of linked stage systems (X1,X2) to move sequentially from a vertical to horizontal position (unfolding), or from a horizontal to a vertical position (folding-up), as a unit in a single smooth operation. The proposed system acts to ensure that operation occurs without interference or occlusion. A stay (21) is projected from the rear end of the link (L2) which folds the stage leg (7B) positioned under the rear stage (S2) of the front stage system (X1), and is linked via a link shaft to a stage leg (7C) positioned across the width of the foremost row under the front stage (S3) of the rear stage system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fuel conditioning assembly, structured to be positioned between a fuel supply and a fuel combustion assembly, and including an elongate tubular housing having an inlet end, an outlet end, and a flow through passage extending therebetween. The inlet end is coupled with the fuel supply so as to receive fuel flow therethrough into the flow through passage, wherein a turbulent flow of the fuel is initiated and the fuel is influenced by a combination of metallic elements which chemically condition the fuel flowing through the flow through passage by rearranging the molecular bonds of the fuel with a catalytic effect and separating the fuel particles into a plurality of subatomic particles, thereby reducing a density of the fuel and substantially increasing a fuel burn efficiency. Further, the outlet end of the housing is coupled directly with the fuel combustion assembly so as to provide for the flow of conditioned fuel therebetween without a substantial risk of a diminishing of the effects of the conditioning.

Abstract: A line synchronous generator with an exciter and generator stage. The exciter stage includes an exciter stator and an exciter rotor, and the generator stage includes a generator stator and generator rotor. In one embodiment, the stators are wound with primary windings for connection to an AC power source and the rotors are wound with secondary windings. In an alternative embodiment, the rotors are wound with primary windings for connection to the AC power source and the stators are wound with secondary windings. The proper phase angle alignment of the secondary windings are determined by connecting the primary windings of the exciter and generator stages to the AC power source, and connecting the a secondary winding of the exciter stage to a secondary winding of the generator stage. The remaining open secondary leads are then tested for two pairs having a voltage equal to two times the line voltage, and two pairs having a voltage equal to  2ROOT 3 times the line voltage. The two pairs of open secondary leads having a voltage equal to two times the line voltage are connected together.

Abstract: An improved optical photolithography system and method provides predetermined light patterns generated by a direct write system without the use of photomasks. The Direct Write System provides predetermined light patterns projected on a surface of a substrate (e.g., a wafer) by using a computer controlled spatial light modulator. Image patterns are stored in a computer and through electronic control of pixels in the spatial light modulator, directly illuminates the wafer to define a portion of the polymer array, rather than being defined by a pattern on a photomask. For example, in the Direct Write System using a micro-mirror array as the spatial light modulator, the angle of each pixel of micro-mirror array is computer controlled to reflect or not reflect an optical beam of suitable intensity to thereby image (printing) individual features on the substrate at each photolithographic step without using a photomask. The Direct Write System including a spatial light modulator is particularly useful for deprotecting features for polymer array synthesis (e.g. synthesis of DNA arrays). <IMAGE>
