Enhancements to existing gaming controllers facilitating expedient response time and fine-tuned accuracy are described. The enhancements comprise the internal modification of the stock resistance force supplied by the analog stick centering spring mechanism. Through modification, the force of resistance supplied may be increased to over 200 grams of force, or down to 40 grams of force, while maintaining full function of the analog stick mechanism. A second primary enhancement replaces the stock triggers, conventionally equipped with progressive resistance sensors, to a momentary 'snap-action' two-way switch, minimizing trigger pull distance, and removing the analog nature of the trigger to achieve optimal performance.

An improved dual-stage pump system is provided for the accurate pumping and filtering of viscous fluids. Two hydraulically activated pumps are provided in series with a filter and reservoir disposed in-line between the two pumps. The reservoir acts as a source bottle for the second pump and allows the first pump to pump the viscous fluid through the filter at a rate independent of the dispensing rate of the second pump. By operating the first pump at a rate independent of the second pump, back pressure at the filter is avoided. Each hydraulically activated diaphragm pump is equipped with an improved diaphragm that is pre-formed to the geometries of the process fluid cavity thereby eliminating any inaccuracies in the operation of the pumps due to expansion of retraction of the diaphragm during pump operation.

A corrosion resistant check valve having plastic components in the fluid path is provided. The check valve broadly comprises an inlet housing, an outlet housing, a valve poppet, and a spring. The inlet housing has an inlet passageway and the outlet housing has an outlet passageway. The inlet housing and outlet housing are connected to define an internal chamber of the check valve. An inner portion of the inlet housing has a transverse wall which includes a valve seat surface and a central hole which defines a flow passageway between the inlet passageway and the internal chamber. The valve poppet is disposed within the internal chamber and has a disk-shaped body and a stem extending perpendicularly outward from a centerpoint of the body. The stem of the valve poppet is positioned in a central bore in a planar end surface of the spring. The planar end surface of the spring also includes fluid flow passages disposed about the central bore. In operation, the spring biases the valve poppet into sealing engagement with the valve seat surface to control fluid flow from the inlet passageway into the internal chamber. When the fluid pressure in the inlet passageway exceeds the biasing force of the spring, the valve poppet unseats from the valve seat surface and fluid flows around the valve poppet, through the fluid flow passages in the spring and out of the outlet passageway.

A liquid pumping and filtering system for use in dispensing materials such as photoresist used to make semiconductors. A positive displacement diaphragm pump is used to draw source liquid from a source bottle. A pump valve is activated to direct fluid from the pump to a main dispensing line which includes a filter. A suckback line bridges the dispense line. The suckback line and the dispense line are each connected to a final dispense line, and the flow of liquid is controlled by a filter valve, which alternative causes fluid to flow through the suckback line or the dispense line, depending upon the mode of operation of the system. The use of an independent suckback line allows the quick withdrawal of fluid away from the dispense nozzle in the final dispense line. As a result, liquid in the dispensing line on opposite sides of the filter is generally maintained at constant pressure. Air bubbles trapped in the filter, which are generally unavoidable because of the construction thereof, are not allowed to expand and therefore do not distort measurements of liquid being dispensed.

Filtering and dispensing system

A precision liquid dispenser embodying the present invention includes a displacement diaphragm pump and a hydraulic system for selectively deforming the diaphragm. The diaphragm pump includes a pump body, a pump cavity, a pump diaphragm, and an input/output port. A solenoid operated valve assembly selectively connects the port to a source of liquid to be dispensed. The hydraulic system for selectively deforming the diaphragm includes a body with a cavity, a piston, a sealing ring, and hydraulic fluid in the space between the piston and diaphragm. The position of the piston is controlled by a stepping motor, a mechanical threaded coupling, which converts rotary motion of the motor output shaft to linear motion of the piston. The volume of fluid dispensed is determined by the number of pulses applied to the stepping motor. The output flow rate as a function of time is controlled by the rate of pulses applied to motor as determined by the control logic. A solenoid valve assembly, under the control of signals from the dispenser control logic, selectively connects a valve input port to the valve input/output port, or connects the input/output port to a valve output port. Valve control signals from control logic are coordinated in time with control signals from the reversible motor.

An apparatus and method is described for the separation of data from adjacent characters of standard type fonts, some of which character pairs may kern or touch. Characters which do not kern or touch are separated by white column detection. Characters which do kern are first detected by a kerning test, which consists of locating white bits which separate the characters while meeting pre-established standards of contiguity. Touching characters are detected by failure to pass the white column test, followed by failure to pass the kerning test. Characters which touch are separated by a statistical analysis, which involves determination of which of several probable vertical data columns has the least number of character bits. Following separation, the characters are compared with pre-established character patterns.
