Pacific Biosciences

SMRT™ Cell DNA Sequencing Consumable 2011 SMRT DNA sequencing is performed on SMRT™ Cells, each patterned with 150,000 zero mode waveguides or ZMWs. Each ZMW contains a single DNA polymerase, providing the window to observe DNA sequencing in real-time. The PacBio™ RS system continuously monitors ZMWs in sets of 75,000 at a time. SMRT Cells are nanofabricated consumable substrates used in conjunction with a DNA sequencing kit for automated processing on the PacBio RS system. One SMRT Cell is consumed per sequencing reaction. SMRT Cells are packaged together in a streamlined 8Pac format. Experiments can be run on a single SMRT Cell or in batch mode to meet project needs.

D2M, Inc

56” Rear Projection Television 2007 MicroDisplay Corporation partnered with

D2M to develop their first 56 ” rear

projection television, an extremely cost and time-sensitive product. D2M engineers worked with both MDC engineers and Asian vendors to define, develop, and test a custom light engine that utilized single-panel LCoS technology yet still delivered stunning picture quality. In parallel, the base and light box were completed and delivered to tooling vendors in an extremely compressed timeframe. This resulted in a low cost, easily serviced, striking design solution.

LASERVISION QUBE™ Laser Layout System 2004 The patent-pending LaserVision Qube System consists of an auto-leveling base, laser QUBE™ modules that are only 1-1/2 inches square and accessories designed to handle practically any remodeling or layout project. The precision-engineered QUBE™ modules generate laser lines or dots, making any layout task as easy as stacking building blocks. This eliminates the need for multiple layout tools, produces a significant time and cost savings for end users, and takes all the guesswork out of hundreds of everyday projects.

Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) Modules* 2001 Palm’s latest family of PDA’s incorporates an expansion card slot that accepts Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) modules. An example of such a module is Palm’s new BlueTooth™ Card. This device allows the user to wirelessly link the PDA to any other BlueTooth-enabled device located within a 10 meter radius, including other Palm handhelds, mobile phones, laptops, printers and a host of wireless LAN access points. SMS messages can be sent, meetings scheduled, and documents sent to the printers or shared securely without skips, breaks or loss of data. Additional module examples may include match-box-sized digital cameras, global positioning systems, barcode scanners and wireline modems. * Concept modules depicted.

Rockwell PathMaster GPS System 1992 Under contract to Praxis Product Design and working with the engineers from Zexel USA, initial prototypes were developed for the Rockwell PathMaster system. This system uses a GPS receiver, the car’s odometer, flux-gate magnetic compass, the Navigation Technologies map database, and navigation software to continuously monitor the car’s position. The database and software comes on a 120 Mbyte PCMCIA card. The user can select destinations from the menu of interest points, by street intersection, or an address. The PathMaster then calculates a route to the destination based on driving preferences. Currently, the device comes in select rental cars from Hertz and Avis.

U-CLIP™ Diposable Surgical Instrument 1999 This disposable tool was developed to provide a quick and secure method of U-CLIP™ suture removal. The U-Clip Anastomotic Device is based on a proprietary self-closing clip technology as a replacement for continuous or “running” sutures. If needed, the device extracts the U-Clip and secures it within the enclosure for disposal.

Trimble

Optical Surveying Instruments 1996 Trimble's TTS™ Optical Survey Family, including the TTS-500 and TTS-300, are optical extensions to the GPS Total Station family. With reflectorless EDM, the TTS-500 and TTS-300 are designed to work in areas where GPS might not be the optimal solution. Trimble's TTS series is ideal for areas where GPS signals are obstructed, such as tunnels, parking garages, dense forests as well as building facades or dam faces that are difficult or dangerous to reach. The TTS-500, a 5-second instrument, and the TTS-300, a 3-second instrument, include unique, high-performance features that improve productivity and make the system easier to use. Their unique mechanical design and reflectorless technology speed up measurements that would require significantly more time with existing instruments. As a prism is not required to get millimeter accurate readings, a single surveyor can effectively use the TTS-500 or TTS-300 for a range of survey applications.

Flight Telerobotic Servicer End Effector 1991 This end effector was designed and used on the SS/L internal Robotics Research manipulator to demonstrate and investigate space-servicing tasks. The functionally equivalent DTF-1 end effector can grip objects up to 4" in diameter with a force of 0-50 lbs. The mechanism incorporates a brushless dc motor driving a pancake harmonic drive gear set. The output of the harmonic drive operates a rack and pinion attached to parallel jaw structures mounted on cross-roller linear bearings. When manipulating an object two fail-safe brakes provide two-fault tolerance against inadvertent release of a work piece or tool. Gripping force is determined through a torque transducer grounding the harmonic drive, and positioning sensing is accomplished through a redundant optical encoder.

Gridded Electron Gun Assembly Station 1987 A joint Technology Modernization Program between Varian and the USAF provided an opportunity to improve yields and reduce the costs associated with the assembly of gridded electronic guns. Historically this was a hand operation, which required elaborate and costly fixturing. If the sub-assembly’s alignment was compromised, during the braising operation, the units were scrapped. Using an optical comparator and a YAG laser, the sub-assembles were accurately aligned and welded using the laser delivered through the alignment lens. Alignment could thus be verified before welding increasing yields to nearly 100%.

TWT Amplifier Automated Fixture Station 1989 Under The Varian/USAF Tech-nology Modernization Program this prototype glue fixture replaced a hand operation with a calibrated adhesive dispenser utilizing stepper motors to control linear motion and PC I/O to control fluid volume and timing sequences. The assem-bly fixture and automated station reduced the fabrication time to 20% of the hand operation, and increased yield by 70%.
