Title: X- And y-axis driver for rotating microspheres

Full Record
Other Related Research

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.

Electromagnetic driver with helical rails to impart rotation

Patent Timpson, Erik; Hartman, Seth

An EM driver for accelerating an object may be configured as an EM rifle for accelerating, rotating to spin-stabilize, and releasing a projectile. A core includes a stator coil, forward and reverse coils, a railed shaft, and a transfer shaft. The stator coil generates a first EM field, and the forward and reverse coils generate second and third EM fields which interact with the first EM field to accelerate the armature in forward and reverse directions, respectively. The railed shaft is elongated along a central axis through the armature and includes multiple rails arranged helically around a central shaft. Themore » « less

Method and device for determining the position of a cutting tool relative to the rotational axis of a spindle-mounted workpiece

Patent Williams, Richard R [Oak Ridge, TN]

The present invention is directed to a method and device for determining the location of a cutting tool with respect to the rotational axis of a spindle-mounted workpiece. A vacuum cup supporting a machinable sacrifical pin is secured to the workpiece at a location where the pin will project along and encompass the rotational axis of the workpiece. The pin is then machined into a cylinder. The position of the surface of the cutting tool contacting the machine cylinder is spaced from the rotational aixs of the workpiece a distance equal to the radius of the cylinder.

Variable low turbine vane with aft rotation axis

Patent Jones, Russell B.; Brown, Barry J.; Murray, Stephen E.

A turbine with a variable inlet guide vane assembly in which the vane airfoils extend between inner and outer buttons, and in which a center of rotation of the airfoil is located aft of an aerodynamic center of pressure of the airfoil. The trailing edge of the airfoil extends into both of the buttons such that no gap is formed between the airfoil trailing edge region and a static part of the turbine during movement of the airfoil from an opened position to a closed position.

Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation without vertical axis of rotation

Patent Romero, Louis [Albuquerque, NM]; Christenson, Todd [Albuquerque, NM]; Aaronson, Gene [Albuquerque, NM]

The symmetry properties of a magnetic levitation arrangement are exploited to produce spin-stabilized magnetic levitation without aligning the rotational axis of the rotor with the direction of the force of gravity. The rotation of the rotor stabilizes perturbations directed parallel to the rotational axis.

Off-axis cooling of rotating devices using a crank-shaped heat pipe

Patent Jankowski, Todd A.; Prenger, F. Coyne; Waynert, Joseph A.

The present invention is a crank-shaped heat pipe for cooling rotating machinery and a corresponding method of manufacture. The crank-shaped heat pipe comprises a sealed cylindrical tube with an enclosed inner wick structure. The crank-shaped heat pipe includes a condenser section, an adiabatic section, and an evaporator section. The crank-shape is defined by a first curve and a second curve existing in the evaporator section or the adiabatic section of the heat pipe. A working fluid within the heat pipe provides the heat transfer mechanism.
