摘要： A method and apparatus for the distributed programmable control of multiple devices, each capable of independent operation and of performing a set of related functions or operations, to operate concurrently or sequentially and in cooperation to perform a predetermined task or operation. A device controller is associated with each process device wherein each device controller controls the operations of the associated process device and includes a process step memory for a storing a device process. Each device process includes one or more device steps wherein each device step corresponds to a process step and controls one or more corresponding operations of the associated process device. A master controller generates step execute identifiers to the device controllers and the device controllers are responsive to the step execute identifiers for cooperatively performing the corresponding device steps of the device processes, generating control outputs corresponding to the device steps to the associated process devices to direct the associated process devices to perform the device steps. The process steps may be generated in the master controller and distributed to the device controllers, or in devices controllers with the master controller coordinating the designation and identification of the device steps in process steps.

摘要： A method of producing an aperture extending from an optically flat surface through a substrate defining the optically flat surface to a surface of the substrate remote from the optically flat surface comprising the steps of: a) forming the optically flat surface; b) etching to form the remote surface to produce an area of the substrate of a desired thinness bounded by the optically flat surface; and c) laser cutting through the area of desired thinness from the remote surface toward the optically flat surface to produce aperture, of a desired shape and size; and a structure when made by the method.

摘要： In a rotary stage, driven by a conventional multi-tooth rotary worm wheel, interacting with a rotationally powered worm gear, a housing functions as a base mount for the worm wheel. The housing has a bore disposed within a cylinder positioned perpendicular to the worm wheel axis. A rotational power source, such as a motor, is mounted on an elongate support which is mounted along an elongate edge to a base of the housing. The support extends parallel to the motor axis and, along with a biasing spring, biases the motor and worm gear toward the worm wheel. Adjustable screw are provided to vary the pressure load of the bias of the worm gear against the worm wheel, or providing a selectable anti-backlash pressure between the worm wheel and the worm gear.
