Appl. No.:

12/243461

International Classification:

A61B 5/0478
A61B 19/00

US Classification:

600383, 600544, 600553, 600587

Abstract:

A self-locating mounting apparatus for holding objects such as sensors at specific positions on a subject's head includes a central mount constituted by a plurality of inextensible elements adapted to fit over the top of a subject's head. In addition, the mounting apparatus includes an adjustable circumferential band adapted to circle the subject's head and connect the central mount to inextensible side elements via sliding joints. A plurality of biasing elements provide a force for biasing sensor mounting units on the mounting apparatus against a subject's head, allowing for long-term sensing while minimizing interference forces on the mounting units. Advantageously, the mounting apparatus holds sensors within approximately 5 mm of their desired measurement positions over a range of subject head sizes.

International Classification:

H03F 3/04
H01F 27/28

US Classification:

330301, 336170

Abstract:

A radio frequency power amplifier including control electronics for providing control signals for timing of the power amplifier. A first group of the drivers are coupled to the control electronics and a second group of drivers are coupled to the control electronics. The first group of drivers operate in response to the control signals to generate first drive signals and the second group of drivers operate in response to the control signals to generate second drive signals with a phase difference of 180 relative to the first drive signals. A first group of switches energize a first group of primary windings in response to the first drive signals and a second group of switches energize a second group of primary windings in response to the second drive signals. An output summing transformer has a plurality of ferrite cores, the first group of primary windings and the second group of primary windings passing through the ferrite cores. A secondary output winding for connection with a load passes through the ferrite cores of the output summing transformer.

Appl. No.:

5/436651

Inventors:

Peter H. Turner - Burbank CA

Assignee:

Sargent Industries, Inc. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

C10M 500
C10M 700
F16C 906
F16C 2700

US Classification:

252 126

Abstract:

A bearing liner for attachment to a substrate comprising a first wear resistant layer and a second wear resistant layer joined to the first wear resistant layer. The second wear resistant layer serves to increase the useful life of the bearing liner. In addition, the second wear resistant layer serves as a compliant layer for receiving any projections in the substrate so that the tendency of any such projections to cause local protrusions of the wear surface of the first wear resistant layer is reduced.

Appl. No.:

5/463885

Inventors:

Peter H. Turner - Burbank CA

Assignee:

Sargent Industries, Inc. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

F16C 906

US Classification:

308238

Abstract:

To provide support for a rotatable shaft, a bearing ball is fixed to the shaft and rotatably mounted within a bearing race. A low friction liner which is disposed between the wearing surfaces of the ball and the race includes a backing, which can be adhered to the wearing surface of the bearing race, and a layer of low friction material, which can be disposed to contact the bearing and thereby provide permanent lubrication between the bearing and the race. The backing can be paper impregnated with chopped, compressed fibers such as wood or rice to provide the liner with a substantially linear stress-strain characteristic similar to that of metals. The paper backing reduces the deflection of the liner in response to compressive stresses so that the accuracy of movement of the bearing within the race is increased significantly. The layer of low friction material may be formed from an intimate mixture of an adhesive and small particles of a low friction material.

- Rock Hill SC, US
Peter Scott Turner - Venice CA, US

International Classification:

B29C 64/129
B29C 64/277
B29C 64/245

Abstract:

A three dimensional printer includes a vessel, a light engine, a fixture, a movement mechanism, a sensor, and a controller. The vessel is for containing a liquid photocurable resin and includes a transparent sheet defining a lower surface through which the resin can be illuminated. The light engine is disposed and configured to selectively illuminate the resin through the transparent sheet. The fixture is for supporting a three dimensional article of manufacture having a lower face immersed in the resin in facing relation with the transparent sheet. The movement mechanism is configured for controllably translating the fixture to adjust a vertical height of the lower face above the transparent sheet. The sensor is configured to monitor a dynamic vertical drag force of the resin upon the three dimensional article of manufacture.

International Classification:

B29C 67/00
B33Y 30/00
B33Y 10/00

Abstract:

There is provided an additive manufacturing system comprising a vertical stage (also known as a z-stage) that moves the object being created along an axis of motion that is not perpendicular to the image plane (non-parallel to the z-axis of the image plane). By moving the build platform, upon which the additively manufactured object is being supported, along a predetermined axis of motion, such as one adapted to the dominant axis of the object design, the additive manufacturing system is capable of making larger objects, shortening build times, improving part resolution, and/or reducing the volume of photocurable material needed, among other benefits.
