Abstract: A conveyor drive assembly (10) including an elongated shaft (14) having a first (20) and second end (22) and method of operating the conveyor drive assembly which reliably controls the speed of each end of the drive shaft and minimizes unequal loading of the conveyor belt. The method includes detecting the rotational position of the first end of the shaft, detecting the rotational position of the second end of the shaft, determining the rotational position of one of the first and second ends relative to the other of the first and second ends, and then rotationally driving at least one of the first and second ends of the shaft to maintain the rotational position of one of the first and second ends relative to the other of the first and second ends within a predetermined range. Advantageously, the present invention provides a conveyor drive assembly for use with wide conveyors which reliably controls the speed of each end of the drive shaft and minimizes unequal loading of the conveyor belt.

Abstract: Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are used to perform the integrated design, verification and layout of electrical and optical components in a monolithic, silicon-~based electro-optic chip. Separate top-level behavioral logic designs are prepared for the three different types of elements included within the final, silicon-based monolithic structure: (1) digital electronic integrated circuit elements; (2) analog/mixed signal electronic integrated circuit elements; and (3) opto-electronic elements (including passive and active optical elements). Once the behavioral logic design is completed, the results are combined and co-simulated. A physical layout design is developed and verified for each different type of element in the circuit. The separate physical layouts are then co-verified, to assess the properties of the overall physical design. The results of the co-simulation are compared to the results of the co-verification, with alterations made in the logic design and/or the physical layout until the desired operating parameters are obtained. Once the desired results are generated, conventional wafer-level fabrication operations are then considered to provide a final product (~tape out~).
