Abstract: A self wear compensating valve for controlling flow of a fluid employs seals for sealing between relatively moving parts. In one of the parts, an annular recess is formed. A conformable sealing member is placed in the recess, and a spring biased to expel the conformable sealing member and press it against a sealing surface on the other part is provided. An O-ring placed on the outside of the conformable sealing member prevents leakage of fluid through the recess outside of the conformable sealing member. As the conformable sealing member is worn away, after many cycles of the valve, the spring continues to press it against the sealing surface, while the O-ring continues to prevent leakage of fluid outside the conformable sealing member. A rotary valve suitable for railroad brake applications is provided, which controls flow of fluid from a supply to the brake cylinder, and provides for exhaust of fluid from the brake cylinder. The valve has a supply port, a delivery port and an exhaust. In one position, the supply port is connected to the delivery port through a passage in the rotor. In another position, the delivery port is connected to the exhaust port through a passage in the rotor. In a third position, the lap position, all the ports are blocked by the relative position of the rotor and the housing. Proportional control of fluid flow is provided by elongating the ports on the mating surfaces of the rotor and the housing in the direction of rotation.

Abstract: A hologram recording plate, which has a plastic layer (a rosin derivative) that undergoes frost deformation by being acted upon by a solvent vapor, is set in a developing box supplied with a solvent vapor (cyclohexane) from a solvent vapor reservoir. The solvent vapor is exhausted from the developing box by a suction device. This is followed by subjecting the hologram recording plate to a high voltage from a high-voltage power supply and irradiating the plate with laser light, which represents a hologram to be formed, by opening a light shutter. This makes it possible to reduce the size of and to automate the hologram producing apparatus. The developing box and optical elements inclusive of a light source are secured to respective ones of individual carriers, and the carriers are provided so as to be free to be moved along an optical system aligning rail and fixed to the rail. A very simple and precise optical system can be constructed without using an optical bench or table having a vibration-proof structure.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for profiling the intensity
of a beam and thus measuring the overall intensity and
power of a beam are disclosed that have particular use in
stereolithography. A beam sensor comprising a pinhole in
a plate and a photodetector behind the pinhole measures
the intensity of portions of a beam as the beam is moved
over the beam sensor. Software associated with the
sensors in a computer controls the scanning mechanism for
the beam so that the beam is shifted to find the pinhole
and move across it in order to develop the intensity
profile. The invention can be used to detect drift in the
scanning mechanism, determine the focus of the beam, and
predict the depth and width of photopolymer cured by the
beam. A related apparatus and method for calibrating and
normalizing a stereolithographic apparatus is described,
and a related apparatus and method for correcting for
drift in production of objects by stereolithography, is
also described.

Abstract: A planarized integrated circuit and method for making it are disclosed. The method includes forming portions of a transistor structure that extend to an elevation on an integrated circuit substrate above intermediate regions above the substrate. The portions have an oxide layer on their top surfaces. A layer of polysilicon is formed overall, including in the intermediate regions, to a depth in the intermediate regions larger than the elevation to which the portions of the transistor structure extend. A chemical-mechanical-polishing step is performed on the polysilicon overall to a depth at least extending to the oxide layer on the transistor portions to create a first planarized surface. In subsequent processing, a layer of oxide may be formed over the planarized surface, with source/drain extension regions patterned in the layer of oxide and underlying structures to the surface of the substrate. Source and drain region impurities are implanted for an MOS transistor in the source/drain extension regions, and a second layer of spacer oxide is formed overall. Portions of the spacer oxide are removed in bottom portions of the source/drain extension regions, and a layer of polysilicon is formed overall to a depth deeper than a depth of the source/drain extension regions. A chemical-mechanical-polishing step is performed on the polysilicon overall to a depth at least extending to the second layer of spacer oxide to create a second planarized surface.
