Patent EP-1452237-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STRONG CHRISTOPHER L
IPC: B05B7/06
Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: A system and method for reducing fluid drainage into air passageways of a spray
device during disassembly. The present technique provides an internally mountable fluid
nozzle having a fluid inlet, a fluid exit, and a converging central passageway extending
substantially between the fluid inlet and the fluid exit. Accordingly, the internally
mountable fluid nozzle has a relatively small internal volume, which reduces the amount
of fluid that can be spilled during disassembly of the spray device. The present technique
also provides a section of the spray device having an air passageway with an air exit, and a
protrusive fluid passageway with a fluid exit in a protrusive offset position from the air exit.
The internally mountable fluid nozzle can be mounted to the section in fluid communication
with the protrusive fluid passageway, such that fluid spillage or drainage during
disassembly does not flow into the air passageway. A spray formation section also may be
coupled to the section, such that an internal cavity of the spray formation section is disposed
about the internally mountable fluid nozzle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for adjusting the axial distance
between the front and rear walls (120,124) of a vacuum booster (110),
from outside of the booster (110), after the booster (110) has been
assembled. The booster (110) includes a housing (122) having a front
housing (114) and a rear housing (116) joined together and defining a
longitudinal axis (118) of the booster (110). The front housing (114)
defines a front wall (120) of the housing and an inner surface (122) of
the front wall (120). The rear housing (116) defines a rear wall (124) of
the housing (110) and includes a captive nut (129) having threads
adapted for threaded engagement with a threaded end (130) of a tie rod
(128). The front and rear walls (120,124) are spaced an axial distance
from one another along the longitudinal axis (118). A tie rod (128)
extends axially through the housing (112) and has a first end (130)
engaging the rear wall (129) of the housing (112) and a second end
(132) engaging the front wall (120) of the housing (112). The first end
(130) of the tie rod (128) has threads for engaging the threads of the
captive nut (129) in the rear wall (124) of the housing (112). The
second end (132) of the tie rod (128) has an axially facing surface
(137) thereof for applying an axially directed force against the inner
surface (122) of the front wall (120) of the housing (112). The axial
distance of the housing (112) between the front and rear walls (120,124)
of the housing (112) is adjusted by turning the tie rod (128), to thread
the first end (130) of the tie rod (128) farther in or out of the
captive nut (129). The captive nut (129) may include a tube (156)
extending axially therefrom along a part of the tie rod (128) into the
interior of the housing (112), through one or more separate fluid
chambers (150,152) within the booster (110), to provide a sealed
passageway precluding leakage between the fluid chambers (150,152)
along the tie rod (128).

Abstract: In a method and system for preventing signal clipping in a molecular array
scanner by adding an offset signal to the signal (2002) generated by the photodetectors
and initial stages of signal processing within a molecular array scanner in order to
promote the signal above the level where signal information is lost during analog-to-digital
signal conversion and/or digital signal integration, a portion (2004) of the offset is
then subtracted from the digital signal or integrated digital signals, leaving a smaller,
constant offset that is reported to the user, stored in a data file, or otherwise made
available for further correction during later molecular array data processing.

Abstract: A method for repairing a turbine nozzle segment having at least one vane
disposed between outer and inner bands includes separating the inner band
from the nozzle segment, and joining the inner band to a newly manufactured
replacement casting (30) having an outer band (32) and at least one vane
(34). The replacement casting (30) includes a mounting platform (44) formed
on one end of the vane (34) and a boss (46) formed on the mounting platform
(44). A collar is joined to the inner band and has a slot formed therein. The
boss (46) is then inserted into the slot, and the mounting platform (44) is
received in a recess formed in the inner band. Joining is completed by joining
the boss (46) to the collar and the mounting platform (44) to the inner band.
The thickness of the collar is tapered in an axial direction, and a relief is
formed in the collar to provide assembly clearance with adjacent components.

Abstract: A decoder and decoding method in which a syndrome generator (410) calculates a syndrome vector from an erroneous codeword, an error location polynominal generator (420) calculates an error location polynominal from the syndrome vector, an error location generator (430) determines an error location from the error location polynominal, an error magnitude generator (440) calculates an error magnitude from the error location polynominal and a corrected codeword generator (450) corrects the codeword responsive to the error location and magnitude. In an intra-decoder block messaging scheme, one or more components (410, 420, 430, 440, 450) generate inactivity messages (640, 650) to signal an ability to process data corresponding to a next codeword. In a dual Chien search block (930, 940) implementation, a Chien block (930) is used to determine the number of errors in a specified code word, separately from the error location and magnitude calculations performed by a Chien-Forney block (940).

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, features can be directly imprinted into the surface of a solid substrate. Specifically, a substrate is directly imprinted with a desired pattern by the steps of providing a mold (20) having a molding surface (21) to imprint the pattern, disposing the molding surface adjacent or against the substrate (24) surface (25) to be imprinted, and irradiating the substrate surface with radiation to soften or liquefy the surface. The molding surface is pressed into the softened or liquefied surface to directly imprint the substrate. The substrate can be any one of a wide variety of solid materials such as semiconductors, metals, or polymers. In a preferred embodiment the substrate is silicon, the laser is a UV laser, and the mold is transparent to the UV radiation to permit irradiation of the silicon workpiece through the transparent mold. Using this method, applicants have directly imprinted into silicon large area patterns with sub-10 nanometer resolution in sub-250 nanosecond processing time. The method can also be used with a flat molding surface to planarize the substrate.
