20090250597 | OPTICAL FIBER ASSEMBLY WRAPPED ACROSS ROLL-NOD GIMBAL AXES IN A DIRCM SYSTEM - A control mechanism pins an optical fiber assembly on and off gimbal and between gimbals to route the assembly from an off-gimbal optical source across the gimbal axis/axes to an on-gimbal optical element so that the fiber assembly moves with the rotation of the gimbals. To accommodate a relatively large range of motion, the control mechanism is suitably configured to route the fiber assembly in a “U-shaped” loop with one end pinned off-gimbal in a stationary guide track and the other end pinned on-gimbal point in a rotating guide track so that the loose fiber assembly is constrained in the concentric tracks on and off gimbal. As the gimbal rotates, the loop seats onto one guiding track and peels off of the other guiding track while always maintaining its U shape. To accommodate a relatively small range of motion in other gimbal configurations, the control mechanism is suitably configured to pin one end of the fiber assembly off-gimbal and pass the fiber assembly directly over the gimbal where it is pinned on the other side of the gimbal. In a multi-gimbal pointer, the fiber assembly preferably exhibits different mechanical stresses as it crosses the different gimbals. | 10-08-2009 |

20090311295 | PARTICLES WITH HIGH UNIFORM LOADING OF NANOPARTICLES AND METHODS OF PREPARATION THEREOF - Methods to produce polymeric microparticles containing nanoparticles such, as pigments, dyes and other chromophores for cosmetic use, plastic surgery therapeutic use, and tattoos have been developed. The microparticles contain within the polymer a very uniform dispersion of dye particles. The methods by which the particles are made ensure a homogeneous mixture and high loading. The microparticles are made using air, one of a number of known methods such as phase inversion, solvent evaporation, and melt processing. The improvement is in the use of a method that makes, a stable dispersion of the nanoparticles in the liquid polymer before formation of the microparticles. This is achieved through selection of appropriate solvent, optionally including surfactant, and then subjecting the dispersion to mechanical processing that stabilizes the dispersion within the polymer solvent, so that the nanoparticles remain suspended for at least thirty minutes, in some cases two hours to 48 hours, sometimes up to three months. The mechanical processing can be sonication and/or production of shear forces, for examples, resulting from use of an open blade or rotor stator mixer or milling with a concentric shaft, at a speed such as between 5000 and 25,000 RPM. | 12-17-2009 |

20110122710 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A SEQUENCE OF CLOCK SIGNALS - A clock generator circuit generates a sequence of clock signals equally phased from each other from a master clock signal. The clock generator is formed by inner and outer delay-locked loops. The inner delay-locked loop includes a voltage controlled delay line that delays a reference clock applied to its input by a plurality of respective delays. Two of the clock signals in the sequence are applied to a phase detector so that the signals at the outputs of the delay line have predetermined phases relative to each other. The outer delay-locked loop is formed by a voltage controlled delay circuit that delays the command clock by a voltage controlled delay to provide the reference clock to the delay line of the inner delay-locked loop. The outer delay-locked loop also includes a phase detector that compares the command clock to one of the clock signals in the sequence generated by the delay line. The outer delay-locked loop thus locks one of the clock signals in the sequence to the command clock. As a result, all of the clock signals in the sequence generated by the delay line have respective predetermined phases relative to the phase of the command clock. One of the clock signals in the sequence is selected by a multiplexer to clock a command data latch at a time corresponding to the delay in coupling a command data bit to the latch. | 05-26-2011 |
20120137161 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A PHASE DEPENDENT CONTROL SIGNAL - A computer system with a phase detector that generates a phase dependent control signal according to the phase relationship between a first and second clock signal. The phase detector includes first and second phase detector circuits receiving the first and second clock signals and generating select signals having duty cycles corresponding to the phase relationship between the clock edges of the first and second clock signals. The phase detector also includes a charge pump that receives select signals from the phase detector circuits and produces an increasing or decreasing control signal when the first and second clock signals do not have the predetermined phase relationship, and a non-varying control signal when the first and second clock signals do have the predetermined phase relationship. The delay value of a voltage-controlled delay circuit and the phase relationship between the first and second clock signals to a predetermined phase relationship are thereby adjusted. | 05-31-2012 |

20110155897 | GAS-CLUSTER-JET GENERATOR AND GAS-CLUSTER ION-BEAM APPARATUS UTILIZING AN IMPROVED GAS-CLUSTER-JET GENERATOR - A gas-cluster-jet generator with improved vacuum management techniques and apparatus is disclosed. The gas-cluster-jet generator comprises a substantially conically shaped vacuum chamber for housing the nozzle and jet exit portions of the gas-cluster-jet generator. A skimmer may be located at the narrow end of the conical chamber and a close-coupled vacuum pump is located at the wide end of the conical chamber. Support members for the nozzle are high conductivity “spider” supports that provide support rigidity while minimizing gas flow obstruction for high pumping speed. The conically shaped vacuum chamber redirects un-clustered gas in a direction opposite the direction of the gas-cluster-jet for efficient evacuation of the un-clustered gas. The nozzle and a skimmer may have fixed precision relative alignment, or may optionally have a nozzle aiming adjustment feature for aligning the gas-cluster-jet with the skimmer and downstream beamline components. Also disclosed are various configurations of gas-cluster ion-beam processing tools employing the improved gas-cluster-jet generator. | 06-30-2011 |
