| 20110291496 | SEALED LINEAR MOTOR SYSTEM - A sealed linear motor system is provided. The sealed linear motor system includes a sealed coil assembly having a plurality of coil windings within a base plate and comprising covers disposed about the base plate and coil windings to prevent moisture and/or chemical ingress into the base plate and the coil windings. The sealed linear motor system also includes a sealed magnet assembly disposed adjacent to the coil assembly and comprising a plurality of magnets mounted on a magnet mounting plate and a magnet housing disposed on a surface of the magnet mounting plate to cover and seal the plurality of magnets within the housing. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20100319896 | THERMAL BLOCK AND THERMAL RAIL - The innovation relates to systems and methodologies for facilitating and/or enhancing heat transfer in a stage machine employed in an industrial or manufacturing environment. A thermal block and thermal rail combination and/or a thermal block and bearing rail combination draw accumulated heat away from a source of heat generated within the stage machine, and such combinations conduct the heat to a base of the stage machine. Each type of combination is conductively coupled such that the conductive coupling facilitates the translation or movement of the stage while maintaining contact to facilitate the conduction through the thermal block and thermal rail of the stage machine. The removal of the heat from the source of the heat or the accumulation of the heat within the stage machine system prevents distortion of the machine or products being manufactured or measured by the machine from the heat. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20090088912 | LINEAR DRIVEN X-Z ROBOT - Systems and methods of positioning a tool using a linear motor with a plurality of stages on a single path. A single rail and a plurality of trucks containing stages can comprise a linear motor. The trucks can connect to a tool through a linkage such as a four bar linkage or a scissor jack. The global position of the stages can be manipulated to effectuate motion along the path; the relative position, velocity, and acceleration of the trucks can be manipulated to effectuate motion in another direction such as a direction perpendicular to the path. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090086350 | HIGH STIFFNESS LOW MASS SUPPORTING STRUCTURE FOR A MIRROR ASSEMBLY - Systems and methods of providing support to a mirror assembly including a high-stiffness, low mass structure. An L-shaped support, in conjunction with a shelf member and a plurality of fingers, provides support to a chuck upon which an operation (such as a wafer inspection) can be carried out. Materials such as ALBEMET and INVAR can be used to reduce mass and increase stiffness to avoid resonance in the system. Sensors and actuators can be employed to sense input energy and adjust the structure, respectively, if resonance is deemed likely. | 04-02-2009 |
