A video editing method that includes displaying a two-dimensional projection of a representation of a projection surface. This projection is derived from a three-dimensional position of the surface. A handle is displayed attached to the projection, and the position of the surface is updated in a manner corresponding to the displacement of a cursor at the handle. The method further includes displaying a second projection derived from the updated position, and redisplaying the handle attached to i...

A tape measure assembly with a ridge that is disposed along an edge of its housing and is generally perpendicular to the housing's spooling axis. The ridge has a rigidly placed working surface oriented perpendicularly with respect to an outer surface of the housing that is normal to the spooling axis. At least two portions of the working surface extend beyond the outer surface in a direction parallel with the spooling axis, and the working surface and the outer surface define a volume that surro...

Applying adhesive in a desired pattern on a substrate by determining one or more inspection sites for monitoring adhesive deposition, applying adhesive to a substrate with a stencil or screen printer, viewing the inspection sites with a camera that generates image signals, and processing the image signals to determine if adhesive has been properly applied at the inspection sites.

A biosignal electrode device comprises a flexible electrically insulating substrate 11 having deposited thereon an electrically conductive layer forming an electrode sensor 14 and a lead 15 for the sensor. The portion of the substrate bearing the sensor is formed in relief such that the sensor stands above the surrounding substrate.

The invention provides a solder preform coated with a predetermined thickness of parylene which physically and chemically protects the preform, as well as a provides a unique optical interference coating which reflects at characteristic frequencies. When predetermined thicknesses of parylene are selected, the parylene coating provides an interference coating which causes the solder preforms to appear green, or gold, or blue in color. The parylene coating, which is otherwise colorless and transpa...

A method and apparatus for depositing parylene monomer within the interior of a deposition chamber of a parylene deposition system. In certain embodiments, the method comprises the steps of: (a) introducing a cryogenic fluid into the interior of the deposition chamber to cool the surface of the substrate; and (b) introducing the parylene monomer into the interior of the chamber to deposit the parylene monomer onto the surface of the substrate. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises: a depo...

A process for the metallization of a phosphor screen which process comprises the steps of: i)applying to a process screen a coating composition comprising a poly(acrylate) or poky(methacrylate) dissolved in an acrylate or methacrylate monomer, the said composition including an initiator therein; ii) subjecting the coated to irradiation in order to form a polymeric film coating, iii)depositing a layer of metal upon the coated screen to form a composite; and iv) heating the composite to a temperat...

A process for copper coating printed circuit boards is disclosed. The process includes a treating step in which a metal surface is contacted with an adhesion promotion composition material. The adhesion promotion material includes 0.1 to 20% by weight hydrogen peroxide, an inorganic acid, an organic corrosion inhibitor and a surfactant.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a video probe for viewing an object and for viewing a device that acts on the object. In one embodiment, the video probe includes a first viewing channel having a viewing direction along a first optical axis to provide an image of the object, a second viewing channel having a viewing direction along a second optical axis that is substantially parallel to the first optical axis, and wherein the viewing direction of the second channel is substan...
