Abstract: A method of depositing material on an electronic substrate with a dispensing system includes acquiring an image of a first feature of a first component and an adjacent second feature of a second component, performing a measure command to measure an actual distance of a gap between the first feature of the first component and the second feature of the second component, dividing the length of the gap into segments to determine a gap width for each segment, based on the gap width, determining a number of dots to be dispensed by the dispensing unit for each segment, and performing the dispense operation for each segment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a buckle assembly having a female buckle component and a male buckle component. The female buckle component including a first plate and a second plate that is spaced apart from the first plate and is connected to the first plate via a first side and a second side. Each of the first side and the second side is configured to secure a button of the male buckle component. The second plate includes a pinch-mitigating feature to maintain a distance between a pinch zone and a user. The pinch-mitigating feature can integrated with the second plate. For example, the second plate can define a wall of material formed at least partially about a perimeter of the second plate to maintain the distance between the pinch zone and the user.

Abstract: A sheave for use in a tension measurement system to measure a tension force in a cable may include a first diameter and a second diameter. The sheave is configured to rotate about an axis to orient the first diameter or the second diameter toward the cable, such that a contact force between the sheave and the cable is measured by a tension sensor to determine the tension force in the cable.

Abstract: Valve actuators and methods of reducing current consumption of a valve actuator are disclosed. An example valve actuator includes a motor configured to move the actuator to an activated position. A return means biases the actuator to a default deactivated position. A controller, in communication with the motor, is configured to receive instructions regarding the actuation state of the actuator and to operate the motor according to those instructions. The controller operates the motor using a pulse width modulated current to allow the motor to overcome the return means and thereby maintain the actuator in the actuated position.

Abstract: A damper apparatus for reducing or braking a movement of a second part that is movable relative to a first part includes a first damper component connected to the first part, a second damper component connected to the first second part, and a damping mechanism. The first damper component is movable relative to the second damper component and the relative movement is or can be decelerated due to the damping mechanism. A switching mechanism with a first switching contact and a second switching contact is arranged or integrated on the second damper component. At least one actuating region is configured on the first damper component such that, when the first damper component moves relative to the second damper component, an electrically conductive connection is established or disconnected between the first switching contact and the second switching contact using the at least one actuating region of the first damper component.

Abstract: A piston monitoring assembly includes a magnetic body coupled to a piston that is configured to move in opposite directions during a piston stroke to dispense a fluid, a magnetic sensor configured to output signals representative of a magnetic field generated by the magnetic body, and a controller configured to examine the signals output by the magnetic sensor and to determine whether the piston is moving far enough to ensure that the fluid is being dispensed during a first movement of the piston in the piston stroke and that the fluid is prevented from being dispensed during a second movement of the piston in the piston stroke.

Abstract: A rotary transmission device for transmitting control and/or working pressures to a wheel hub. The rotary transmission device has a housing structure in which a piston element is displaceable between a first and a second position relative to the housing structure and relative to a running body of the wheel hub which is mounted so as to rotate relative to the housing structure. To transmit the control and/or working pressures, at least one pressure medium channel is formed in the piston element. In the first position, an air gap is present between an end face of the piston element on the running body side and an end face of the running body on the piston element side, while in the second position, no air gap is present, and the at least one pressure medium channel opens in sealed fashion into at least one pressure medium channel formed in the running body.
