Abstract: A drive mechanism (16A, 16B) configured to drive a thermally isolated actuator (30) between two positions. The drive mechanism includes a rotary actuated motor (18) configured to rotatably drive a motor member (20), and a drive member (22) coupled to the motor member and having a drive arm (24, 42) configured to responsively move from a first position to a second position upon rotation of the motor member. An actuator (30) is responsive to movement of the drive arm (24) moved from the first position to the second position. A drive circuit (60) is configured to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) drive signal (70) configured to controllably drive the motor, the PWM drive signal having a first duty cycle (Phase 1) configured to advance the drive arm from the first position, and having a second duty cycle (Phase 2) different than the first duty cycle as the drive arm approaches the second position. The drive signal may be removed (Phase3) before the drive arm (42) engages a hard stop (54). The drive mechanism may comprise at least one sensor (40) configured to determine a position of the drive arm (42) proximate the first position and proximate the second position. The actuator is thermally isolated from the drive arm (42) in both the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A shutter assembly (12) comprising a first planar member (70) and a second planar member (72) opposed from one another and forming a sleeve having a cavity (80) therebetween, the sleeve having a pair of side rails (78) adjacent the cavity along sides of the sleeve. A first shutter member (14) having a first end (92) is disposed in the cavity and slidingly disposed along one of the side rails, and a second shutter member (14) having a second end (92) is disposed in the cavity and slidingly disposed along the other side rail. The first end is opposed to the second end and is configured to be selectively advanced towards, and retracted from, the second end so as to define an aperture (15) therebetween having a first shape when disposed in a first position, and wherein the aperture has a second larger shape when the first end is disposed in a second position. The first shutter member and the second shutter member maintain a thermal contact with the side rails and the planar members in all positions. The shutter assembly is well suited to be used at a cryogenic temperature and in a high vacuum environment.
