Abstract: A device for controlling power to an electrical load. The device has two components: a portable desktop detector unit and an electrical powerstrip. The desktop detector detects the presence of a human in a room and sends signals to the powerstrip to supply power to or withhold power from individual electrical loads connected to the strip. Since the detector is portable, it can be positioned and repositioned at different locations in a room to maximize its ability to detect the presence of a person. The system can also communicate by wireless signals to a wall-mounted control unit to control light fixtures in the room. When used with a wall-mounted control unit, a photo sensor that detects the level of ambient light in a room allows the system to adjust the brightness of lights in the room depending upon the available ambient light level. Each detector and receiver pair have matching addresses so that a receiver will operate an electrical load only in response to its mated detector, thus allowing multiple devices to be used to control multiple lights without interfering with each other. The device can also operate with a third component that acts as a master key and controls the maximum brightness, at which lights may be operated.

Abstract: An optical non-contact surface profiler for determining (i) the surface profile of a transparent layer on a light-absorbing or opaque substrate, (ii) the surface profile of a light-absorbing or opaque substrate through a transparent layer, and (iii) the thickness profile of a transparent layer on a light-absorbing or opaque surface. A microscope alternatively configured in interferometric mode and in spectrophotometric mode provides phase data from an interference pattern and reflectance data from a reflectance pattern, respectively. A photo-sensing device receives the interference patterns and reflectance patterns and inputs the corresponding phase data and reflectance data to a computing device. The computing device processes the data to determine the appropriate surface or film thickness profiles.

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 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.

Abstract: A tubular body portion has an internally threaded portion and a cylindrical portion and includes an annular recess portion therebetween. The annular recess portion includes a first shoulder adjacent the threaded portion and a second shoulder adjacent the cylindrical portion. A circumferential cutting edge portion is provided at the juncture of the second shoulder and the adjacent cylindrical portion. A first conduit to be joined is extended through the cylindrical portion into substantially abutting relation with the first shoulder. A suitable expanding tool expands the end portion of the first conduit outwardly into the annular recess portion and against the cutting edge to produce a distinct gouge or circumferential cut therein. The coupling remains rotational relative to the first conduit with the end portion thereof expanded into the annular recess portion. A second conduit to be joined is threadedly advanced into the threaded end portion of the coupling by rotation of the coupling. The second conduit moves into underlapping relation with the expanded end portion of the first conduit and on continued advance urges the expanded end portion into further abutting relation with the annular recess portion and the cutting edge portion of the coupling so that additional portions of the expanded end thereof are rolled back into the annular recess portion to mechanically lock the first conduit to the coupling. Thus, the conduits are engaged to each other and to the coupling to provide a connection sufficient to resist axial forces tending to separate the conduits from the coupling.

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.
