Patent EP-1087514-A3 (EP)
Inventor: IINO AKIHIRO
IPC: H02N2/08
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: A moving body (14) is linearly moved by a rotary type ultrasonic
motor (1) and an output transmission means such as a cam (13) and a pinion (19)
rotating in cooperation with a rotor (4) of the ultrasonic motor, and
a pressurizing mechanism (15) for imparting a contact pressure is provided
between the moving body and the output transmission member to realize
a linear motion mechanism with an ultrasonic motor. Thus, it is possible
to perform a fine feed and a rough feed with high precision without
any backlash and it is possible to form a linear motion mechanism
with a high rigidity which is hardly affected by an external vibration
or the like. 
     Also, since a compact and high power ultrasonic motor is used,
it is possible to miniaturize and thin the overall equipment, and
to form a linear motion mechanism that is not affected by magnetic
effect and does not affect the others. Also, no power is consumed
when the mechanism is not in operation. 
     Accordingly, it is possible to realize a compact linear motion
mechanism with an ultrasonic motor that may perform the high precision
positioning in a low power consumption, and electronic equipment
using the same.

Abstract: A pallet assembly has a roller pallet 1 with removable side
frames 4. The frames 4 comprise tubular plastics support rods
5 extending between which are plastics moulded bridging members
9, 11 and 13 that are secured to the support rods. The
bridging members may be secured to the rods by moulding those
members directly on to the rods, preferably so that plastics
from the bridging members flows into recesses in the rods to
provide keys which restrains the bridging members from
longitudinal displacement relative to the rods. Alternatively
the bridging members may be pre-moulded and secured to the rods
by adhesive, bonding, welding or mechanical fasteners which may
be snap-engagable or expandable plugs. The lowermost bridging
member 9 is moulded to present connection means by which the
side frame 4 is fitted to the deck. Several intermediate
bridging members 13 can be identical and moulded in a common
mould, preferably successively on to the support rods 5.

Abstract: A method of riveting is disclosed in which a rivet (19) having a shank (21) with a hollow
region (23) arranged adjacent to a first end (25) of the shank is inserted through a hole (30) in
a first member (14) and into a blind hole (20) in a support member (12) so that the first end
of the shank contacts the base (26) of the blind hole. The rivet is then compressed against the
base of the hole such that the shank of the rivet barrels outwardly to frictionally engage the
side (27) of the hole. The side of the blind hole may be provided with an undercut (28), the
shank of the rivet barrelling outwards to substantial fill the undercut. The method is
particularly suitable for attaching the lift straps (14) of a friction clutch to a pressure plate
(12). A friction clutch having lift straps connected to a pressure plate using the method is also
claimed.

gain control via a gain control signal in this control loop
and correction gain control signals in the other control loops,
and places in the non-operating state the gain control signal
generator of the other control loops.

Abstract: An apparatus and a concomitant method for controlling coolant (air) flow proximate a reaction chamber (102) within a workpiece processing system (100) such that the temperature of a wall of the reaction chamber (102) is maintained at a predefined target temperature. The target temperature is typically a temperature that optimizes a process concurrently being accomplished within the chamber (102), e.g., utilizing one temperature during deposition processes and a different temperature during cleaning processes. The apparatus contains a temperature measuring device (140) to measure the temperature of the chamber wall. The measured temperature is compared to the predefined target temperature. A closed loop system controls the air flow proximate the chamber walls such that the measured temperature becomes substantially equal to the target temperature. Air flow control is provided by an air flow control device (138) located within an inlet conduit (120) that supplies air to a shroud for channeling the air past the reaction chamber (102). The shroud forms a portion of a housing (118) which supports and encloses the reaction chamber (102).

Abstract: A fabrication method for providing isolation between adjacent

72; 88; 90; and 128) over field edges that are the interfaces between field
oxide regions (30; 54; and 92) and diffusion regions (14; 26; 52; 86; and 96)
in which dopant is introduced. The guard layer will inhibit introduction of
dopant along the field-edge, so that a substantially dopant-free transition strip
(42; 70; and 130) is formed. The transition strip inhibits current leakage from
the active region to the field oxide region. In one embodiment, the active
region is an active area diode, such as used to form an Active Pixel Sensor

during circuit operation. In another embodiment, the method is used in the
fabrication of transistors for APS pixels having an overlay photodiode

Abstract: Heterodyne based optical spectrum analysis (OSA) involves mixing an input signal

beat signal involves extending the duration of the signal so that the signal can be
detected with fewer samples per unit of time than an unstretched signal. Another
embodiment of an OSA includes a first data acquisition unit for obtaining low
resolution data and a second data acquisition unit for obtaining high resolution data.
