Appl. No.:

11/081437

Inventors:

Robert John O'Neill - Santa Clarita CA, US

Assignee:

HR Textron, Inc. - Santa Clarita CA

International Classification:

F16D 55/22

US Classification:

188 723, 188 715, 3031152

Abstract:

A brake assembly includes a mounting plate, pressure members disposed in a substantially coplanar manner relative to the mounting plate, and electric actuators mounted to the mounting plate. The electric actuators are configured to selectively move the pressure members relative to the mounting plate (i) from a non-braking position to a braking position in response to a first command, and (ii) from the braking position to the non-braking position in response to a second command. Such a brake assembly is well-suited for a variety of applications including vehicle brakes such as aircraft brakes.

Abstract:

A tactile wave generating apparatus and method to generate amplified low frequency waves which are then transmitted as tactile waves into a structure and/or to a persons anatomy. There is a housing in which is positioned a drive section that in turn comprises a magnet section that moves upwardly and downwardly as an inertial mass, two coils on opposite sides of the magnet and two flux path return plates for the coils. Each coil comprises upper and lower longitudinally aligned generally linear coil portions which drive the magnet section upwardly and downwardly. The magnet section is supported by upper and lower interconnecting sections that resiliently resist the up and down motion of the magnet section and restrain the magnet section to move up and down within close tolerances.

Abstract:

A tactile wave generating apparatus for generating amplified low frequency waves for transmission as tactile waves into a structure or a person's body. There is a housing in which is positioned a drive section that in turn comprises a magnet section that moves upwardly and downwardly as an inertial mass, two coils on opposite sides of the magnet and two flux path return plates for the coils. Each coil comprises upper and lower longitudinally aligned generally linear coil portions which drive the magnet section upwardly and downwardly.

International Classification:

US Classification:

702105, 438 14, 702 90, 702187, 702189

Abstract:

A wafer handling mechanism is operated to place a wafer on a chuck. A chucking force is then applied to the wafer, whereby wafer support features of the chuck transfer a defect pattern onto a surface of the wafer. The surface of the wafer is analyzed by a defect metrology tool to obtain a mapping of the defect pattern transferred onto the surface of the wafer. A center coordinate of the chuck within a coordinate system of the wafer is determined by analyzing the defect pattern as transferred to the surface of the wafer. A spatial offset between the center coordinate of the chuck and the center of the wafer is determined. The spatial offset is used to adjust the wafer handling mechanism so as to enable alignment of the center of the wafer to the center coordinate of the chuck.

Abstract:

A component of a plasma processing chamber includes a three dimensional body having a highly dense plasma resistant coating thereon wherein a plasma exposed surface of the coating has a texture which inhibits particle generation from film buildup on the plasma exposed surface. The component can be a window of an inductively coupled plasma reactor wherein the window includes a textured yttria coating. The texture can be provided by contacting the plasma exposed surface with a polishing pad having a grit size effective to provide intersecting scratches with a depth of 1 to 2 microns.

Abstract:

Improvements in a recirculating toilet system wherein at least one human waste receiving receptacle, such as a urinal or toilet bowl, is provided coupled to a separating tank having a predetermined amount of a non-aqueous flushing fluid of a lower density and specific gravity than water therein. A flushing fluid intake floats on top of a layer of the flushing fluid in the tank with water and human waste below the layer. A motor-activated pump flushing fluid recirculating means is coupled to both the intake and the receptacle for withdrawing flushing fluid from the layer in the tank and flushing the receptacle. The float has a detector for detecting the presence of a predetermined amount of wastewater in the flushing fluid being withdrawn from the tank for flushing the receptacle and for detecting the level of the flushing fluid in the tank and deactivates the pump of the recirculating means when this predetermined amount of wastewater is detected.
