Appl. No.:

09/858305

Inventors:

David Baldwin - San Jose CA, US
Alexander Nagy - Santa Cruz CA, US
Jeffrey Hawthorne - San Francisco CA, US
Jeffrey Sample - Milpitas CA, US
Thanh Dang - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

G06F019/00

US Classification:

700/163000, 700/159000

Abstract:

A system is provided wherein a plurality of high accuracy air injectors are disposed along the edges of a sensor plate of a sensing head to form an air bearing and a plurality of high displacement air injectors are also disposed along the edges of the sensor plate to form an air bearing, each independently controlled, with the sensing head having high accuracy and low accuracy separation distance sensors coupled in a feedback loop through a mapper (a programmable CPU) which, without knowledge of the exact position of the sensors or air injectors, but being responsive to feedback information, iteratively adjusts relative separation of the sensor plate and a flat panel workpiece to the desired positional accuracy through digital to analog converters supplying control signals to analog amplifiers controlling orifices. Translation is effected after the high displacement air injectors are activated, with the combination of flow of air from the air bearing outlets along the edge of the sensor plate and the translation in x and y of the flat panel being operative to air brush sweep the surface of the flat panel.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382151000

Abstract:

A method and device for positioning a viewing objective and an alternate objective in relationship to a viewpoint and/or a light energy source are provided. A plurality of objective lenses are coupled with a carriage plate. The carriage plate moves along a single axis and positions the objective lenses for use in delivering a laser beam to an object and/or enabling observation of the object by a human operator. A version includes a linear turret or “optical turret” for positioning at least one objective relative to a light energy source, where the optical turret is communicatively coupled with a processor and the optical turret includes (1) at least one objective; (2) a carriage plate, (3) a linear rail, (4) a scale, (5) a sensor, and (6) a linear motor.
