Steering Assembly With Electromagnetic Actuators

US Patent:
7233424, Jun 19, 2007
Filed:
Aug 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/929756
Inventors:
Paul F. Fischer - Fort Wayne IN, US
Warren H. Miller - Palm Bay FL, US
Kenneth D. White - Cocoa FL, US
Reeder N. Ward - Melbourne FL, US
Assignee:
DOT Intellectual Properties, LLC - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
G02B 26/08
US Classification:
359196, 359198, 359199, 359212, 359225, 359814
Abstract:
A laser cutting system, including a steering mirror assembly for directing a laser beam through a predetermined cutting path along a workpiece or substrate material. The steering mirror assembly includes a base, and a mirror pivotally supported on the base by a flexure assembly which confines pivotal movement of the mirror about a vertical Y-axis and/or about a horizontal X-axis. A pair of electrical actuator assemblies include movable bobbin assemblies connected to the mirror by control rod flexures at locations on the mirror which are spaced 90° apart from one another. In operation, selective electrical energization of the actuator assemblies controls movement of the bobbin assemblies to pivot the mirror about the vertical Y-axis and/or about the horizontal X-axis throughout a number of angular orientations to thereby direct the laser beam through a predetermined cutting operation pattern along the substrate surface to cut materials from the substrate. The flexure arrangements which support the mirror on the base and which connect the bobbin assemblies to the mirror facilitate substantially frictionless movement of the bobbin assemblies and the mirror, which allows the mirror to pivot at high operational speeds during the cutting sequence.

Overhead Storage System

US Patent:
6095344, Aug 1, 2000
Filed:
Jan 7, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/003952
Inventors:
Kenneth D. White - Cocoa FL
International Classification:
A47F 500, A47F 700
US Classification:
211 17
Abstract:
An overhead storage system for bicycles and objects that weigh approximately 40 to 50 pounds. The stored object is counter balanced by nitrogen gas spring cylinders so as to make the object virtually weightless to the user-operator. The object is stored flat or horizontally against the ceiling of a garage, porch or breezeway so as to be well above headspace and so that floor space is not taken up by the object. The user-operator pulls the stored object down with a cord similar in ease to pulling down a set of attic type stairs. A boom is pivotally connected to a ceiling mount. A first gas spring allows the stored object to move and rotate in an arc from the horizontal ceiling adjacent position to a vertical position approximately thirty inches from the floor. The boom has a lower telescoping tubular sections with a second lower gas spring holding the tubular sections together. The user-operator pulls down on handles connected to the lower tubular section which lowers the object to the floor.

Active Alignment System For Free Space Optics

US Patent:
7212706, May 1, 2007
Filed:
Apr 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/824141
Inventors:
Kenneth D. White - Cocoa FL, US
Warren H. Miller - Palm Bay FL, US
Mark T. Montgomery - Melbourne Beach FL, US
Reeder N. Ward - Melbourne FL, US
Assignee:
Noah Industries, Inc. - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
G02B 6/32, G02B 6/42
US Classification:
385 33, 385 25, 385 90, 385 93
Abstract:
An optical transceiver antenna has a pair of cartridges supported by a pan/tilt mount. A lens at forward end of a cartridge interfaces light between an end of a light relay element retained by an axial deflection device and free space. The forward end of a cartridge also terminates first ends of actuator wires that are mutually rotationally displaced a distance of 90° from one another in a plane normal to a boresight axis of the antenna. The actuator wires have second wire terminations at the axial deflection device which are mutually rotationally displaced a distance of 90° from one another in a plane passing through the axial deflection device normal to the boresight axis. Heating currents are supplied to the actuator wires, causing their lengths to change, thereby flexing the axial deflection device and light relay element off boresight.

Blood Glucose Meter/Modem Interface Arrangement

US Patent:
7181350, Feb 20, 2007
Filed:
May 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/128588
Inventors:
John W. Oberding - Clearwater FL, US
Glen E. Geiger - St. Petersburg FL, US
Kenneth D. White - Cocoa FL, US
Reeder N. Ward - Melbourne FL, US
Assignee:
North America Technology Services, Inc. - Pinellas Park FL
International Classification:
G01R 31/36, G01R 21/00
US Classification:
702 62, 702 57, 702 63, 600485, 600501
Abstract:
A cradle-configured interface for a hand-held blood glucose meter has a multi-electrical contact-containing battery door that enables blood glucose analysis data stored in the meter to be automatically downloaded to a modem within a meter cradle for transmission to a monitoring facility. Electrical contacts of the battery door are connected to conductors of the meter's printed circuit board when the battery door is closed. The cradle has spring-loaded probes connected to its internal modem and engaging the electrical contacts within the battery door when the meter is placed in the cradle. Upon sensing the meter in the cradle, the modem downloads blood sample analysis data stored in the meter into local memory and then transmits blood glucose analysis data to a downstream healthcare reporting site.

Mirror Scanning System

US Patent:
8079719, Dec 20, 2011
Filed:
Mar 6, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/043246
Inventors:
Warren H. Miller - Palm Bay FL, US
Kenneth D. White - Cocoa FL, US
Reeder N. Ward - Melbourne FL, US
International Classification:
G02B 5/08
US Classification:
359872, 248652
Abstract:
The invention provides for an improved mirror scanning system for use with a millimeter wave imaging system. The mirror scanning system includes a pair of voice coil actuators aligned generally perpendicular to a mirror. The voice coils are intermittently energized pursuant to a predetermined frequency related to a desired resolution. A base supports a back plate that is generally disposed parallel to the mirror and secures the pair of voice coil actuators. A rod flexure is secured to a center yoke, or coil bobbin, of each of the respective voice coils and to a back side of the mirror so that the pair of rod flexures simultaneously exert a force on the mirror causing deflection thereon as the pair of voice coils are energized. Stationary position sensors are mounted adjacent to each cylinder so the sensor can determine to location of the cylinder, and hence the angle of the mirror.

Abstract:
An interface between a communication modem and a hand-held, battery-operated information collection device, such as a blood glucose meter comprises a support cradle into which blood glucose meter is placed. A mechanical translation unit within the cradle then automatically rotates a cam-driven, pivotable swing arm on which an electrical connector to modem memory is mounted. The swing arm follows a spiral groove in the cam, so as to fully insert the electrical connector into the data port receptacle of the meter. After data has been downloaded from the meter into modem memory, the mechanical translation unit causes reverse rotation of the cam, so as to retract the electrical connector out of the data port receptacle, whereupon the meter may be removed by the user.
