    摘要: An inexpensive, robust, and adhesive-free method and apparatus is disclosed for efficiently coupling first and second optical components together utilizing a flexure assembly for fine alignment. An initial three-dimensional rough alignment process positions the first and second optical components proximate to each other and aligns them in three dimensions. The first and second components are then misaligned by a fixed amount, causing a defocus, and then securely fastened together. The fine alignment process uses standard machine screws, or other easily attainable, robust tensioning means to progressively increase the tension around the periphery of the flexure assembly, which causes the flexure to bend and the second optical component to translate along the longitudinal axis of the flexure assembly and tilt with respect to the longitudinal axis of the flexure assembly, which re-focuses and three-dimensionally finely aligns the optical components for optimum coupling efficiency in a simple and secure manner.

    摘要: Plasma reformer having a high voltage electrode spaced apart from a grounded electrode creating a volume therebetween. At least one electrically floating electrode is disposed between the high voltage electrode and the grounded electrode and a fuel atomizer is disposed to inject a hydrocarbon fuel into the volume. Structure is provided for introducing air into the volume and a high voltage source establishes a high voltage between the high voltage electrode and grounded electrode to create a cascade arc in the volume. The electrically floating electrodes increase the arc length and the discharge volume to create a cascade arc having a combined extended length and increased contact time with an air-fuel mixture for reforming a hydrocarbon fuel.
