Inventor: ZAGOROFF DIMITER S
IPC: F04F5/46
Filed: 1997-11-07
Abstract: A jet pump for a heat gun includes an elongate hollow pump body (36) lying along a longitudinal axis. The pump body has an inlet (37), a mixing section (40) and an outlet. A nozzle unit (26) is axially aligned with the inlet for directing pressurized fuel into the inlet of the pump body. Movement of the pressurized fuel into the inlet causes air to be drawn into the inlet to mix with the fuel within the pump body. A disk shaped air diverter (30) is axially spaced away from the inlet of the pump body. The diverter has a length and a diameter. The diameter of the diverter is greater than the length of the diverter and larger than the inlet of the pump body. A housing (33) is radially spaced from and surrounds the diverter forming a first annular gap therearound for air outside the housing to pass therethrough. The air moves around the diverter then changes direction between the diverter and the inlet of the pump body before entering the inlet.

Abstract: A reticle case (RC) is transferred from a reticle
stocker (25, Fig 6) to an exposure apparatus (27, Fig 3) by
means of a reticle case transfer automated vehicle (30, Fig
6) running in a clean room. The exposure apparatus (27)
includes a chamber (31), as well as a reticle case transfer
device (41) and a reticle case aligning device (42) both
disposed in the chamber (31). The reticle case transfer
device (41) receives a reticle case (RC), at a reticle case
transfer position (34), from the reticle case transfer
automated guided vehicle (30) and transfers the received
reticle case to the reticle case aligning device (42). The
reticle case which has been aligned thereby is then
transferred to a reticle storing device (or reticle
library) (43). In this manner, reticle cases may be
inserted into the reticle storing device (43) with a high
positioning accuracy. A desired reticle, among those
stored in the reticle storing device (43), is transferred
therefrom onto a reticle stage (RS) of an exposure system
in an automated fashion by means of a conventional reticle
transfer device (46).

Abstract: A central digital signal radio processor is separated from all
analog inputs and outputs by digital data links. Each end of a data link
couples to an interface which has transmit and receive capability using
cancellation techniques to allow full duplex transmission. An antenna module
located at the antenna processes much of tuning functions in analog and then
converts the signal to digital and sends it to the digital signal radio processor
for further processing. Transmitted digital signal from the digital signal radio
processor are converted to analog by the antenna module and sent to the
antenna. Microphones, tape and CD players and other inputs are similarly
linked to the digital signal radio processor. The digital signal radio processor
digital audio output is sent to speaker modules which convert to analog signals
for driving speakers.

Abstract: In the field of hydraulic vehicle control, it is known to provide joystick
controllers. However, in the past such controllers have only provided a
control signal the amplitude of which increases with movement of the
joystick handle. This is unsuitable for controlling the steering of many
vehicles. 
     The invention relates to a control apparatus (10) incorporating a pressure
control capsule including a moveable spool (13) capable of developing
supply fluid pressure (P) in an outlet (14). The actuator pin (25) of the
capsule is operated by the underside of a rocker (54) pivotable about its
mid-point (55). The opposite end of the rocker (54) is acted on by a pin
(30) connectable to one operator pad (102) of a joystick controller. This
provides a reduction in the pressure developed in the outlet (14) with
increasing joystick movement. 
     The arrangement allows space in the housing (11) of the apparatus for a
further function (91) operable via the joystick. In the preferred
embodiment, the additional function (91) includes a joystick detent
operable via a switchable electromagnet (84).

current to the start winding during the start-up phase and to make the electric

Abstract: A compliant foil fluid film thrust bearing including a thrust disk (24) rotor,
fluid foils (40),
spring foils (42), a thrust plate (28), and a housing (22) thrust surface. The
non-rotating but compliant fluid foils (42), mounted on the thrust plate (28) and/or
housing (22) thrust surface and positioned adjacent to the thrust disk (24), have open
faced channels that induce regenerative vortex flow patterns in the process
fluid. The multiple spring foils together provide a tilting pad support for the
fluid folds but allow them to follow the axial and overturning motion of the
thrust disk. The interaction of the tilting pad underspring supports and the
circumferential fluid pressure gradients in the process fluid between the fluid
foils and the thrust disk rotor assure that the fluid foils will assume
hydrodynamically efficient convex shapes on the surfaces adjacent to the rotor
regardless of the load applied to the thrust bearing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that employs static partial order reduction and
symbolic verification allow the design of a system that includes both hardware and
software to be verified. The system is specified in a hardware-centric language and a
software-centric language, as appropriate, and properties are verified one at a time.
Each property is identified whether it is hardware-centric or software-centric. A
hardware-centric property that contains little software is does not employ the static
partial order reduction. Software-centric properties, and hardware-centric properties
that have substantial amounts of software do employ the static partial order
reduction. Following partial order reduction, the software-centric language
specifications are converted to synchronous form and combined with the hardware-centric
specifications. The combined specification is applied to a symbolic
verification tool, such as COSPAN, and the results are displayed.
