Abstract:
An ultra-precision machining system includes a worktable, a first support device, a second support device, a rotating shaft, a cutting tool, a detector and a controller. The first support device is fixed on the worktable. The second support device is movably mounted on the worktable. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first support device. The cutting tool is mounted on the second support device and is movable relative to the second support device along a vertical direction. The detector is fixedly connected to the first support device above the rotating shaft for detecting an axial deviation of the rotating shaft. The controller is configured for calculating the axial deviation of the rotating shaft and adjusting the position of the cutting tool relative to the rotating shaft to counteract the calculated axial deviation of the rotating shaft.
Abstract:
A measuring instrument includes a housing, a number of infrared light emitting devices, a number of infrared light receiving devices, at least two light sources, and a controller. The housing includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall substantially parallel to the first sidewall. The infrared light emitting devices are positioned on the first sidewall. The infrared light receiving devices are positioned on the second sidewall and receive infrared lights emitted by the infrared light emitting devices. The controller is electrically coupled to the infrared light receiving devices and the light sources. When one of the infrared light receiving devices does not receive infrared light emitted by a corresponding infrared light emitting device, the controller turns the light sources on.
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, an apparatus and a method for regulating exhaust pressure in an evacuation system of a semiconductor process chamber are provided. The method comprises steps of generating a first pressure in the semiconductor process chamber with the evacuation system, monitoring the first pressure to generate a first signal, determining a set point for the exhaust pressure responsive to the first signal, and regulating the exhaust pressure by a controller till reaching the set point. The key aspect of the present invention is to maintain the equilibrium of the chamber pressure and the exhaust pressure by implementing an exhaust controller to control the gas flow rate introduced into the evacuation system. In other words, when the chamber pressure is increased, the gas is introduced into the evacuation system at an increased flow rate. On the other hand, when the chamber pressure is decreased, the gas is introduced into the evacuation system at a decreased flow rate. The dynamic control over the gas introduced into the evacuation system advantageously increase the speed of response during the changes of chamber pressure, as well as active control of the chamber pressure in place of moving the throttle valve. Thus, by minimizing the movement of throttle valve, the chances of particulate contamination of the process are greatly reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved leak-proof device for a bubbling port of an aquarium comprising a water tank, a base cover and a base disc, the water tank having a bubbling port on the bottom, and an exhaust outlet setting with a check valve. The base cover has an integrally molded communication connector, and on top of the connector, a check valve. The base disc has an air pump with a connected conduit. With the assembly of these members, air produced from the air pump may enter water tank for bubbling, and because of the check valve and related devices on the water tank and base cover, the bubbling port on the base, of the water tank has double leak-proof effect.

The control device controls the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism to drive the first tool rest and the second tool rest, respectively, such that the first tool and the second tool move along the same direction, and machine a processing surface of a workpiece in order.
Abstract:
A manifold for use in aerating and circulating the aquarium water is composed of a main tube, at least one bypass tube extending from the main tube, and at least one aerating tube extending from the bypass tube such that the aerating tube is parallel to the main tube and that the top end of the aerating tube is in contact with atmospheric air and further that the bottom end of the aerating tube is submerged in the aquarium water. The main tube has a top end in communication with a filtration device of the aquarium, and a bottom end which is engaged with a water pump located at the bottom of the aquarium. The bypass tube forms an angle with the main tube such that the bypass tube is provided with an uphill segment contiguous to the main tube, and a downhill segment contiguous to the aerating tube.
