US Patent:
6872958, Mar 29, 2005
Filed:
Jan 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/059048
Inventors:
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA, US
Martin E. Lee - Saratoga CA, US
N. William Parker - Fairfield CA, US
S. Daniel Miller - Gilroy CA, US
Assignee:
Multibeam Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
Motorla, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
F16B001/00
US Classification:
2504922, 250310, 403220, 378 34, 355 53
Abstract:
A system for precisely positioning and moving a platform relative to a support structure is disclosed herein. The platform is particularly suitable for carrying wafers. Charged particle optics can be attached to the support structure. The platform positioning system comprises a stage, comprising a base, a platform and stage actuators, the stage actuators being coupled to the platform and the platform being coupled to the base; a frame attached to the base; a support structure mechanically coupled to the frame; stage sensors attached to the support structure, for sensing the position of the platform relative to the support structure; and a current control system coupled to the stage sensors and the stage actuators. The current control system may include a predictor for generating an ouptut signal anticipating the actual position of the platform relative to the support structure in real time.

Fluid Motor-Pumping Apparatus And Method For Energy Recovery

View page
US Patent:
46377832, Jan 20, 1987
Filed:
Oct 20, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/198716
Inventors:
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA
Assignee:
SRI International - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
F04B 908
US Classification:
417318
Abstract:
Motor-pumping method and apparatus for recovery of energy from spent brine discharged from a reverse osmosis desalination system are disclosed. Energy of spent brine discharged from the reverse osmosis system is used to pump a portion of the fresh brine input to the system. The novel apparatus includes a pair of closed cylinders having pistons reciprocable therein which are interconnected for simultaneous piston movement. First valve means movable between first and second conditions are provided for atternatively connecting a source of fresh brine to the reduced piston area side of one of said cylinders while connecting the reduced area piston side of the other cylinder to the inlet of the reverse osmosis canister included in the reverse osmosis system. Second valve means movable between first and second conditions are provided for atternatively connecting the spent brine outlet from the reverse osmosis system canister to the large piston area side of the other cylinder while venting spent brine from the large piston area side of the one cylinder. Because of the differential opposite surface areas of the motor-pump pistons, fresh brine is pumped from the cylinders at a pressure higher than the pressure of spent brine operating liquid supplied to the motor-pump means from the reverse osmosis system.

Image Recording Method And Its Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
46479457, Mar 3, 1987
Filed:
Feb 6, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/826788
Inventors:
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA
Yasuo Matsumoto - Shizuoka, JP
Patricia O. Cohn - Redwood City CA
Assignee:
Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd. - Tokyo
International Classification:
G01D 1518
US Classification:
346 11
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image recording method and its apparatus, in which dye vapor generated by heating sublimable dye is mixed with condensable vapor generated by heating condensable substance and formed into mixed vapor having higher pressure than the pressure outside a recording head and the mixed vapor thus formed and provided with a force to blow out by the pressure difference between inside and outside the recording head is adapted to jet from a nozzle with its jet amount controlled by control means, and according to which, high speed image recording is made possible although the temperature for heating the sublimable dye can be kept low, and the condensable vapor included in the mixed vapor is cooled while flying or upon reaching the surface of a recording member to reduce in volume, and therefore, the picture element is made smaller in diameter and spreading out of the jet around the nozzle along the surface of the recording member is prevented so that recording of high resolution is made possible.

Handwriting Sensing And Analyzing Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
39889343, Nov 2, 1976
Filed:
Jan 5, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/646657
Inventors:
Fred J. Kamphoefner - Atherton CA
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA
Assignee:
Stanford Research Institute - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
G01L 516
US Classification:
73432R
Abstract:
A compact apparatus for analyzing a signature or other handwritten markings, including a horizontal platen which can support paper on which a signature is written, a pair of inner beams extending horizontally from opposite sides of the platen to an intermediate structure, and a pair of outer beams extending horizontally, and in directions perpendicular to the inner beams, between the intermediate structure and a supporting frame. Strain gauges are attached to the sides of the inner and outer beams to sense forces applied to the platen by the tip of a writing instrument in the horizontal "X" and "Y" directions, and additional strain gauges are attached to opposite faces of the outer beams to sense forces in the vertical, or "Z," direction.

Articulatable Structure With Adjustable End-Point Compliance

View page
US Patent:
49213938, May 1, 1990
Filed:
Mar 9, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/166095
Inventors:
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA
David M. Auslander - Berkeley CA
Assignee:
SRI International - Menlo Park CA
The Regents of the University of California - Berkeley CA
International Classification:
B25I 1800
US Classification:
414729
Abstract:
A manipulator is disclosed which includes first and second interconnected limb sections, the second section of which is elongated and flexible in at least one direction normal to the longitudinal axis. The first limb section is connected to a base, and the second limb section is connected to an end effector. Relative to a reference frame with origin at the first limb section, the stiffness matrix of the second limb section is variable, and is under motor control. In one embodiment, the second limb section is inflexible in a direction orthogonal to the one direction and the longitudinal axis, and is supported by the first limb section for rotation about the longitudinal axis. In another embodiment, the second limb section is flexible in all directions normal to the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of adjustable-tension stays attached to the second limb section adjacent opposite ends thereof are used to control the stiffness matrix thereof. Methods of damping vibration of the flexible beam are shown.

Impact-Valve Printhead For Ink Jet Printing

View page
US Patent:
50399977, Aug 13, 1991
Filed:
Jan 22, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/651092
Inventors:
Elaine A. Pullen - Elk Grove Village IL
Robert I. Keur - Elk Grove Village IL
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA
Assignee:
Videojet Systems International, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B41J 2005
G01D 1518
US Classification:
346 75
Abstract:
An ink jet chamber communicates with an ink reservoir through an opening in a diaphragm plate. The chamber also includes a nozzle through which ink may be ejected on demand. A mass, such as a ball, is reciprocally driven into the diaphragm plate. The ball, upon striking the diaphragm, closes the chamber opening, pressurizing the ink in the chamber to eject a droplet from the nozzle. The ball is driven by a printer driver wire to which it may be attached. Large arrays may be constructed.

Rotating Solution Separation System

View page
US Patent:
43338321, Jun 8, 1982
Filed:
Aug 29, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/828903
Inventors:
Thomas L. Siwecki - Walnut Creek CA
Gerry B. Andeen - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
B01D 3100
US Classification:
2101952
Abstract:
Salt water and other solutions are accelerated in a rotating structure and applied to a cannister containing reverse osmosis membrane material. The desalinated water is removed after passing through the large surface area concentration of membrane material in the cannister. The enriched brine is removed from the cannister at a point furthest from the axis of the rotating structure and returned to the vicinity of the axis to prevent the buildup of dense material. The membrane material is configured in the cannister so that the flow is generally radially with respect to the axis of the rotating structure.
