Abstract: An anti-bounce needle valve for a fuel injector (104), wherein the needle (100) inherently incorporates the anti-bounce feature. The needle has a conventionally configured exterior for interfacing with a valve seat (106) and a tip body of a conventional fuel injector. The needle is characterized by a needle body having an interior cavity (108) which is filled with small diameter shot (118), preferably generally spherical tungsten carbide shot. In operation, when the needle impacts upon the valve seat at the conclusion of a fuel injection process, the shot causes the needle collision with the valve seat to be inelastic, thereby eliminating needle bounce. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for clamping a wafer to an electrostatic chuck having a substantially resistive dielectric layer disposed thereon. The method includes the step of providing a build-up voltage having a first polarity to a pole of the electrostatic chuck to cause a potential difference to build up between a first region of the substantially resistive dielectric layer and a second region of the wafer that overlies at least a portion of the first region. This potential difference gives rise to a clamping force to clamp the wafer to the electrostatic chuck. The method further includes the step of terminating the build-up voltage when the clamping force substantially reaches a predefined level. There is further included the step of providing a holding voltage to the pole of the electrostatic chuck to substantially maintain the clamping force at the predefined level. This holding voltage has the first polarity and a magnitude that is lower than a magnitude of the build-up voltage. There is further included the step of providing a declamping voltage to the pole of the electrostatic chuck to substantially remove the clamping force, the declamping voltage having a polarity that is opposite to the first polarity.

Abstract: A high-performance number-controlled oscillator (NCO), for creating an event clock from a master clock according to a period control signal. It processes edge times rather than period values, allowing direct control of the spectrum and peak amplitude of the justification jitter. The number-controlled oscillator may preferably be used in a hybrid numeric-analog clock synchronizer, for establishing a clock or carrier locked to a timing reference. The clock may include a framing component. The reference may have a low update rate. The synchronizer achieves high jitter rejection, low phase noise and wide frequency range. It can be integrated on chip. It may comprise a numeric time-locked loop (TLL) with an analog phase-locked loop (PLL).

Each cap is generally symmetric with respect to the stalk to which the cap is fixed and has an outermost edge that is ovate to circular. The outermost edge of the cap is sized greater than the stalk to which the cap is fixed and greater than supporting holes in the strips forming the strip curtain. The distal outer surface of the cap diminishes in size from the outermost edge of the cap toward a distal extremity of the cap in such a way as to facilitate the elastic stretching of the holes in each strip to a size sufficient to permit the strip to be forced over the outermost edge of the cap.
