    Abstract: A method and apparatus of engaging a probe with a sample surface including automatically reducing the spacing between a probe of a probe based instrument and a sample from an initial separation to one in which the probe is positioned for obtaining a sample surface measurement in less than ten seconds without damaging either the probe or the sample. The method includes oscillating the probe, measuring at least one parameter of probe oscillation and then engaging the probe and the sample by generally continuously controlling the reducing step based on the measuring step to reduce the separation from an initial separation to an engage position. In addition to feeding back directly on the tip-sample interaction, a direct communication line is provided between the processor used to generate control signals that govern the engage and a conventional motion controller. In an alternative, a coarse positioning actuator and a fine positioning actuator in which the control of both is coordinated under feedback to place the probe in the engaged position, and wherein the close approach phase of the algorithm is controlled by a dedicated real time controller.

    Abstract: A diagnosable seat belt latch system for use in a vehicle seat belt system provides a latch assembly incorporating a force sensitive sensor interposed between a latch housing and a pressure distribution bushing. A pivoting latch arm having a latch tab at one end for engaging an orifice of a seat belt buckle transfers a compressive load to the force distribution bushing and thereby to the force sensor. A signal processor diagnoses the force sensor to determine whether the seat belt is latched and generates a signal to a vehicle safety restraint system based on the determination.

    Abstract: Methods for the conditioning of bioprosthetic material employ bovine pericardial membrane. A laser directed at the fibrous surface of the membrane and moved relative thereto reduces the thickness of the membrane to a specific uniform thickness and smoothes the surface. The wavelength, power and pulse rate of the laser are selected which will smooth the fibrous surface as well as ablate the surface to the appropriate thickness. Alternatively, a dermatome is used to remove a layer of material from the fibrous surface of the membrane. Thinning may also employ compression. Stepwise compression with cross-linking to stabilize the membrane is used to avoid damaging the membrane through inelastic compression. Rather, the membrane is bound in the elastic compressed state through addition cross-linking. The foregoing several thinning techniques may be employed together to achieve strong thin membranes. The finally thinned membrane may then be treated by capping of calcification nucleation sites and borohydride reduction. The leaflets may be formed to have more than one region of uniform thickness, such as a thicker peripheral sewing region.

    Abstract: A levitated XY stage with a mechanism to disable the bearing element to allow the physical elements of the stage to come into contact with one another and “Coulomb weld” together, thereby eliminating drift. Preferably, the XY position shift of the stage that results from disabling the bearing is measured, and feed-forward communication to, for example, the AFM scanner is used to enable an offset and remove the error.

    Abstract: A scanning probe microscope and method having automated exchange and precise alignment of probes, wherein one or more additional stored probes for installation onto a probe mount are stored in a storage cassette or a wafer, a selected probe is aligned to a detection system, and the aligned probe is then clamped against the probe mount. Clamping is performed using a clamp which is disabled when removing a replacement probe from the storage cassette, enabled when installing the probe on the probe mount and disabled when releasing the probe at a later time for subsequent probe exchange. Probe alignment is automated using signals from the probe detection system or by forming an optical image of the probe using a camera or similar technique and determining probe positioning using pattern recognition processing of the probe image to allow probe removal and exchange without operator intervention. Techniques for error checking are employed to ensure proper probe installation and operation.
