X- And Y-Axis Driver For Rotating Microspheres
US Patent:
4157490, Jun 5, 1979
Filed:
May 17, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/906818
Inventors:
Berthold W. Weinstein - Livermore CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the United States
Department of Energy - Washington DC
Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G05B 1940
US Classification:
318685
Abstract:
Apparatus for precise control of the motion and position of microspheres for examination of their interior and/or exterior. The apparatus includes an x- and y-axis driver mechanism controlled, for example, by a minicomputer for selectively rotating microspheres retained between a pair of manipulator arms having flat, smooth end surfaces. The driver mechanism includes an apertured plate and ball arrangement which provided for coupled equal and opposite movement of the manipulator arms in two perpendicular directions.
Manipulator For Rotating And Examining Small Spheres
US Patent:
4188118, Feb 12, 1980
Filed:
May 17, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/906815

International Classification:
G01N 2116, G01N 2132
US Classification:
356244
Abstract:
A manipulator which provides fast, accurate rotational positioning of a small sphere, such as an inertial confinement fusion target, which allows inspecting of the entire surface of the sphere. The sphere is held between two flat, flexible tips which move equal amounts in opposite directions. This provides rolling of the ball about two orthogonal axes without any overall translation. The manipulator may be controlled, for example, by an x- and y-axis driven controlled by a mini-computer which can be programmed to generate any desired scan pattern.
