Abstract: Optical apparatus that condenses illuminating light into a narrow formatted band of light that follows activated lines down a light valve (11) as it is driven. The present invention is a telecentric illumination scanning system (10) that comprises an input lens group (12), a rotatable or oscillating reflective scanner (16), an output lens group (14) and a polarizing element (17). The input lens group (12) transmits light provided by a light source (13) to the scanner (16), which is reflected therefrom and is directed to the output lens group (14). The light transmitted by the output lens group (14) is polarized by the polarizing element (17) and applied to the light valve (11). The input and output lens groups (12, 14) focus the light provided by the light source (13) into a relatively narrow band of light that is scanned by the rotatable or oscillating scanner (16) across the face of the light valve (11). A telecentric light zone (21) is formed in a predetermined space between the output lens group (14) and the light valve (11). Scanning is accomplished by varying the angle of the bundle of chief rays at the aperture stop. The scanned illumination may be synchronized with the imaging processes of the light valve (11). The present invention thus eliminates illumination from the areas of the light valve (11) that are not activated during or between video frames and greatly increases the light output and contrast of a light valve ype projector system (10).

Abstract: This invention is embodied in an apparatus for assessing the effects of controlled amounts of well-characterized ionic or other particles on the reliability of electronic components. The chamber includes a high efficiency filter that purifies the input air and a recirculating system which ensures substantially laminar, constant velocity air flow, controllable humidity, and steady state conditions throughout at least a portion of the chamber. Particles are introduced into the chamber from a particle generator through a series of output ports that ensure a uniform concentration of particles throughout at least a portion of the chamber. Substantially constant conditions are achieved by constantly introducing new particles into the chamber, withdrawing a continuous flow of particle-laden air from the chamber, removing essentially all the particles from the particle-laden air withdrawn from the chamber and introducing a continuous flow of filtered air into the chamber. Additionally provisions for monitoring particle concentrations and size distribution, for controlling the relative humidity in the chamber, and for carrying out electrical aging and testing can be incorporated.

Filed: 1995-12-19
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of ameliorating the effects of misalignment between modulator arrays, and a system using the same. The ability reduce the effects of misalignment allows multiple, smaller, more cost effective arrays to be used instead of one large array. This can reduce the manufacturing costs of the array, especially arrays that are produced using semiconductor manufacturing processes such as the digital micromirror device. To avoid visual artifacts caused by the misalignment of two or more modulator arrays 1702, 1704, the individual arrays 1702, 1704 are optically overlapped and a portion of the image 1706 is generated by both arrays 1702, 1704. A breakpoint is chosen between two pixels in the overlapped region 1706 at which to abut the images from each of the modulator arrays 1702, 1704. The breakpoint is changed each row of pixels to minimize the detectability of any visual artifact caused by misalignment between the modulator arrays 1702, 1704.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming a planarization structure of dielectric materials upon a substrate topography. The dielectric materials can be deposited in layers without removing one or more layers in non-contact areas prior to deposition of an overlying interconnect conductors. Alternatively, at least one layer can be entirely removed from the dielectric materials prior to deposition of the overlying interconnect conductors. A plasma oxide is placed between the substrate upper surface and a subsequently deposited TEOS oxide to reduce stress properties and to balance the stress between the TEOS oxide and the plasma oxide. A subsequently placed SOG layer can be used to further planarize the upper surface, wherein a capping layer is deposited above the SOG to prevent or substantially minimize water absorption. The SOG layer can, alternatively, be removed in its entirety in an etch-back procedure prior to capping layer deposition. Removal of the SOG layer prevents outgassing of water during times in which contacts are formed.

Title: Ball valve
Inventor: NOACK TIMOTHY
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 1995-04-27
Abstract: A ball valve which can be used to cut coiled tubing extending therethrough, includes a ball (154) rotatably disposed within a housing and adjacent to a seat (152). Control arms (156,158) prevent relative longitudinal movement between the ball (154) and seat (152). The ball defines a pair of slots (202,204) therein, each slot having a bearing surface. A pair of control pins (164,166) are disposed on opposite sides of the ball and rotatably disposed in corresponding control frames (160,162) disposed on opposite sides of the ball. Each control pin (164,166) has an end (208) with a bearing surface (206,212) thereon extending into a corresponding slot (202,204) in the ball so that flat contact is provided between the control pin and the ball. This greater area of contact between the pins (164,166) and the slots (202,204) allows a greater load to be transmitted to the ball to provide the shearing load necessary to shear relatively large diameters of coiled tubing which extend through the open valve. The valve is opened and closed by pressure actuation of a piston.
