A flow modulation valve has a slidably translating hollow armature with at least one energizable coil wound around and fixably attached to the hollow armature. The energizable coil or coils are influenced by at least one permanent magnet surrounding the hollow armature and supported by an outer casing. Lorentz forces on the energizable coils which are translated to the hollow armature, increase or decrease the flow area to provide flow throttling action. The extent of hollow armature translation depends on the value of current supplied and the direction of translation depends on the direction of current flow. The compact nature of the flow modulation valve combined with the high forces afforded by the actuator design provide a flow modulation valve which is highly responsive to high-rate input control signals.

Using coulomb forces to form 3-d reconfigurable structures
InactiveUS20090146890A1Maximize forceReduce power consumptionSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsSolid-state devicesAntenna matchingMetal
Coulomb forces are used to create various metallic shapes within substrates. These shapes are formed by coupling a plurality of substrates together where each substrate contains a metallic pattern. The substrates are assembled together on a mother substrate and the substrates can be positioned either parallel to a planar surface or perpendicular to an edge of the mother substrate. Thus, metallic shapes can be formed that are orthogonal to each other. Such a capability is a desirable feature for antenna construction. The various metal shapes can be used to construct: dipole, patch, Yagi, monopole, bow-tie, meanderline and MIMO antennas. Furthermore, the antenna can be reassembled to adjust the physical dimensions of the antenna while in the consumer product to better match the antenna to a different frequency band.

Reconfigurable system that exchanges substrates using coulomb forces to optimize a parameter
InactiveUS20090145631A1Maximize forceReduced power dissipationFinal product manufactureSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsInductorEngineering
A reconfigurable system is described that can optimize the performance of the system. Substrates can be detached, levitated, moved, dropped and reattached as desired by the use of Coulomb forces generate between Coulomb islands. Thus, a system using a first set of substrates for a given frequency range can be exchanged with a second set of substrates operable at a different frequency range by the use of Coulomb forces. Making this exchange in an RF system can improve the selectivity and decrease the power dissipation of the system. One of the exchanges can involve inductor to shift the frequency of oscillation, for example. A control unit can be used to control the movement and replacement of all substrates. The formation of minimal energy potentials of Coulomb forces are determined to move a substrate over an underlying substrate.

Using multiple coulomb islands to reduce voltage stress
InactiveUS20090147434A1Improve matchEasy to receiveSolid-state devicesSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingElectric potentialAtomic physics
A substrate is levitated a first distance over a mother substrate when a first group of Coulomb islands are charged. A second group of Coulomb islands are charged and increase a separation to a second distance. When the magnitude of the potential of all Coulomb islands is decreased, the separation decreases from the second distance to the first distance. All potentials associated with the Coulomb islands have decreased yet the distance of separation equals to the first distance. Increasing the number of Coulomb islands in a substrate can reduce the magnitude of potentials applied to the Coulomb islands thereby reducing the concern of voltage stress.

Flag block for a document feeding system
A system for feeding and transporting documents includes a feeder stage and a transport stage. Documents are fed singly, in order, from a stack of documents in a hopper assembly. A flag / flag block arrangement provides a force to move the documents along the hopper floor toward the feeder and to feed a document with a presentation force. The flag block includes a horizontal element for concentrating the presentation force at a desired position at the feeder. The horizontal element has sufficient depth away from the feeder such that the documents are essentially free to expand, thereby concentrating the presentation force while reducing drag forces. The flag / flag block arrangement is useful, for example, when the system is used to process envelopes.
