摘要:
An x-ray focusing device and method for adjustably focusing x-rays in two orthogonal directions simultaneously. The device and method can be operated remotely using two pairs of orthogonal benders mounted on a rigid, open frame such that x-rays may pass through the opening in the frame. The added x-ray flux allows significantly higher brightness from the same x-ray source.

This invention details a computer controlled self adjusting sheet metal forming die which can provide rapid contour changes. It eliminates the need to manufacture, store, and change individual forming dies for forming different contours, and comprises a computer control device which sends appropriately timed signals to translate each contour element so that a three dimension surface is formed by a discrete matrix of individual pins. This self adjusting sheet metal forming die is used on a sheet metal press wherein sheet metal can be formed by pressing or stretch forming the metal against the contoured surface.

An emitted energy system for use in photolithography may include a holder assembly operable to precisely align a diffuser and a nozzle. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a holder assembly (30) may comprise a nozzle mounting system (414) coupled to a housing assembly (400) to secure a nozzle (22). A diffuser mounting system (430) may be coupled to the housing assembly (400) to secure a diffuser (28). An alignment system (450) may operate to align the nozzle (22) and the diffuser (28) in a spatial relationship with each other to optimize operation of the diffuser (28) in relation to the nozzle (22).

A method of fabricating very small diameter deep passages is provided. The method of fabricating very small diameter deep passages may include fabricating a recess (206) in a first side (202) of an article (200). An article passage (216) may be fabricated between a second side (204) of the article (200) and the recess (206). An insert (220) may be provided sized to fit the recess (206). An insert passage (230) may be fabricated in the insert (220). The insert (220) may then be secured in the recess (206), with the insert passage (230) and the article passage (216) aligned.
摘要:
A short path scanning interferometer comprising a base forming an interior, and first and second optical members located in the interior of the base. The interferometer further comprises a first retainer assembly connecting the first optical member to the base, translation means for moving the second optical member relative the first optical member to vary the distance between the first and second optical members, and a second retainer assembly connecting the second optical member to the translation means. The preferred mechanical configuration and design features of the interferometer produce a very durable instrument that can rapidly scan and accurately filter light across a wide bandwidth including short path scanning at low orders. This uniquely designed instrument combines high speed switching, high resolution, wide bandwidth, and adjustable damping capabilities in a durable flight capable instrument.
摘要:
A self-leveling mount or platform, particularly for optical and surveillance equipment in rapid deployment systems which can be set up quickly and easily. The mount preferably employs a normally-on brake which is released by actuation of a solenoid. An assembly of equipment, which includes the self-leveling mount or platform, is mounted by a support tube on a spherical bearing, with the center of gravity of the assembly being positioned a given distance below the center of the spherical bearing. When the brake is momentarily released, gravity forces the center of gravity of the assembly to assume the lowest possible position relative to the center of the spherical bearing, which aligns the attached mount or platform horizontally. This self-leveling feature can be activated locally or remotely, and prevents image tilt when optical surveillance instruments are mounted on the platform, and are used to pan (rotate) about the platform's vertical axis. In military applications, the present invention offers the potential for self-deployment, and the ability to rapidly place surveillance equipment so that personnel can effectively "set and forget" field-based equipment. The instrument mounting platform is supported vertically above the spherical bearing by the mounting arm, such that the platform is supported in an elevated position to allow surveillance instruments mounted thereon to have an elevated unobstructed view of the surrounding terrain.
