Using image data on a plurality of reduced object images to calculate a shift amount in regard to the gap of relative positions between the reduced object images by a correlation calculation between the reduced object images. A conversion equation is obtained from the shift amount for geometric projection process from the object image to each of the reduced object images. Initial image data on a single object image is generated using image data on the plurality of reduced object images. This and the aforementioned conversion equation, are used to estimate images of each of the reduced object images. A difference between the estimated image of each of the reduced object images and each of the reduced object images is projected in the reverse process of the aforementioned geometric projection process, to update the image data on the single object image. The processes are repeated until the difference satisfies a predetermined condition and a high resolution object image is outputted.

A cable module that utilizes a plurality of multi-wire cables to provide connections between two sets of connectors is disclosed. The module has a first set of connectors intended to mate with mating connectors disposed on a mother board and a second set of connectors intended to mate with a plurality of opposing connectors disposed on a plurality of daughter boards. The mother board generally lies in the same plane as the base of the module, while the daughter boards are oriented generally transverse to the module base. The two sets of connectors are capable of limited movement in the horizontal and vertical directions to give the module assembly blind mate functionality. The second set of connectors is restricted from movement in the depth direction, while the first set of connectors is capable of such movement. An exterior actuating mechanism provides a mechanical advantage that reduces the effort required to advance the first set of connectors into mating engagement with their opposing counterparts on the mother board.

An alignment compensator may include a control system for adjusting the power to an electromagnet or repositioning a magnet to offset misalignment of probes.

The present invention provides systems and methods for maskless lithographic printing that compensate for static and / or dynamic misalignments and deformations. In an embodiment, a misalignment of a pattern formed by a spatial light modulator is measuring during printing. Rasterizer input data is generated based on the measured misalignment and passed the rasterizer. The rasterizer generates pattern data, based on the rasterizer input data, that is adjusted to compensate for the measured misalignment. The pattern data generated by the rasterizer is passed to the spatial light modulator and used to form a second pattern, which includes compensation for the measured misalignment. In an embodiment, deformations caused, for example, by a warping a surface of the spatial light modulator are measured and used by the rasterizer to generate pattern data that compensates for the deformations.

A bracket assembly rests upon a pile or deep foundation pier set adjacent to a lightweight structure or foundation element such as a porch. The bracket slides upon a pile or deep foundation pier and adjusts from the side of the pile or deep foundation pier. The bracket assembly has a weldment with bearing and guide members.

Turning nuts on the upper end of the rods pulls them and thus the lightweight structure or foundation element upwards. The bracket assembly is lightweight and supports approximately five thousand pounds.

The clamping assembly comprises a pair of wedge elements on opposite sides of a movement axis and each wedge element is configured to be disposed within the slot between a respective wedge surface of the module and a respective side surface of the slot. An actuator operates to forcibly urge the wedge elements along the movement axis for causing the wedge elements to be wedged between the respective wedge surfaces of the module and respective side surfaces of the slot for clamping the module in the slot. A toggle is interposed between the wedge elements and the actuator for equalizing the force acting on each wedge element such that the wedge elements will move axially relative to one another to accommodate any difference in gap widths between the wedge surfaces of the module and side surfaces of the slots thereby to minimize any lateral shifting of the module relative to the slot while still securing clamping the module in the slot.

An hydraulic head features two, three, or four individual radial pumping pistons and associated pumping chambers, annularly spaced around a cavity in the head where an eccentric drive member with associated outer rolling actuation ring are situated. The piston shoe or foot smoothly enlarges from the piston stem, thereby avoiding the concentration of stress at the interface. Another improvement is in the capture of the piston foot through beveled holes at the ends of a C-band spring such that the bevel substantially conforms to the contour of the foot and thereby reduces stresses and wear. Yet another improvement is that the C-band spring is retained within a guide channel of the cavity wall thereby permitting apparent reciprocating displacement of the spring in parallel with the reciprocation of the pistons, while avoiding axial movement or tilting within the cavity.

For compensating for misalignment of pixels at the time of reproduction in a Holographic Digital Data Storage (HDDS) system, and thereby correcting an image, a stored page-based image is detected using a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) through a one-to-one (1:1) pixel matching between data pixels and CCD detector pixels at the time of reproduction. And then, in case the misalignment of pixels occurs during the 1:1 pixel matching, an amount of the misalignment d (0≦d<1) between a corresponding data pixel and a corresponding CCD detector pixel is calculated. Further, an interference influence of a neighboring pixel on the corresponding CCD detector pixel is calculated based on the calculated amount of the misalignment, to thereby correct image data of the CCD detector pixel. And last, a misalignment influence in accordance with the amount of the misalignment is compensated for, to thereby correct the image data of the CCD detector pixel.
