| 20090204814 | Method and apparatus for communicating information between a security panel and a security server - A security panel includes a processor, memory, and a network interface having a unique MAC address, and is configured to communicate over a network with a server. A method for registering the security panel with the server includes contacting the server utilizing a network address stored in the memory. A dealer ID, a line number, and a unique account number is sent to the server. The dealer ID, the line number, and the unique account number are stored in the memory. An encryption key is received for encryption of additional communication between the security panel and the server. The unique MAC address is sent to the server in an encrypted session to verify the security panel to the server. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20100315744 | SLIDER-GIMBAL SCRATCH MITIGATION - A head gimbal assembly for use with a load beam includes a gimbal, a slider for carrying a transducing head, and first and second tabs. The gimbal is configured to be supported by the load beam, and includes a gimbal tongue. At least a portion of the slider is secured to the gimbal tongue. The first tab extends from the gimbal tongue proximate a first corner of the slider. The second tab is spaced from the first tab and extends from the gimbal tongue proximate a second corner of the slider. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100315745 | PROTECTIVE LAYER ON GIMBAL FOR SCRATCH MITIGATION - A head gimbal assembly includes a gimbal, a slider, and a polymer layer. The gimbal comprises a metal layer, and the metal layer of the gimbal defines a gimbal mounting portion for attachment to a metallic load beam and a gimbal tongue extending from the gimbal mounting portion. The slider comprises a ceramic material for carrying a transducing head, and at least a portion of the slider is secured to the gimbal tongue. The polymer layer is positioned adjacent to the gimbal and configured for limiting ceramic-to-metal and metal-to-metal contact. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20090207528 | DISC FLUTTER COMPENSATING SUSPENSION - A suspension is provided, which has proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end toward the distal end. A rotating hinge rotates the distal end about the longitudinal axis in response to vertical motion of the distal end relative to the proximal end. In one example, the suspension includes a preformed twist deformation, which rotates the distal end about the longitudinal axis relative to the proximal end axis in a direction opposite to rotation by the rotating hinge, in response to the vertical motion. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20090046921 | PICK AND PLACE MACHINE WITH IMPROVED COMPONENT PICK UP INSPECTION - Embodiments of the present invention improve upon component level inspection performed by pick and place machines. Such improvements include inspecting the pick operation in pick and place machines by collecting images of the pick event inside the machine and identifying errors as they happen. By detecting and displaying this information as it generated on the machine, the operator or machine can take prompt and effective corrective actions. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090165580 | GANTRY POSITION TRACKING USING REDUNDANT POSITION SENSORS - An x-y robotic motion control system includes a controller, a first rail and a second rail spaced from the first rail wherein the first and second rails are substantially parallel to one another. A gantry has a first end movable along the first rail and a second end movable along the second rail. A payload is movable along the gantry and a position sensor is movable along the gantry with the payload. A first encoder is configured to detect the first end of the gantry with respect to the first rail, and a second encoder is configured to detect the second end of the gantry with respect to the second rail. The position sensor and the first and second encoders are coupled to the controller, which calculates a position of the payload as a function of signals from the position sensor and the first and second encoders. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090190139 | MULTI-SOURCE SENSOR FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING USING PHASED STRUCTURED LIGHT - A system for sensing a three-dimensional topology of a test surface is provided. A first illumination source generates first patterned illumination from a first point of view. A second illumination source generates second patterned illumination from a second point of view, the second point of view differing from the first point of view. An area array image detector simultaneously acquires at least first and second fringe images relative to the first and second patterned illuminations. A controller is coupled to the first and second sources and to the detector. The controller generates a height topology of the test surface based on images acquired while the first and second patterned illuminators are energized. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090195772 | Method for Three-Dimensional Imaging Using Multi-Phase Structured Light - A method for mapping height of a feature upon a test surface is provided. The method includes projecting patterned illumination upon the feature, the patterned illumination having a plurality of distinct fringe periods. A first image of the feature is acquired while the patterned illumination is projected upon the feature. Relative movement is then generated between a sensor and the feature to cause relative displacement of a fraction of a field of view of a detector, the fraction being equal to about an inverse of the number of distinct regions of a reticle generating the pattern. Then, a second image of the feature is acquired while the patterned illumination is projected upon the feature. The height map is generated based, at least, upon the first and second images. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20080256868 | NARROW PROFILE WINDOW DRIVE MECHANISM - A window assembly including a frame having an interior portion with an inner surface. A sash is movably coupled with the frame, and the inner surface is substantially parallel with the sash in a closed position. A window drive mechanism is coupled between the frame and the sash, and the mechanism is entirely contained between the inner surface and the sash. The mechanism includes at least one arm rotatably coupled between the frame and the sash. | 10-23-2008 |
