Welcome to the March 12, 2012 edition of Drew's Views. Drew “introduces” Tilting Pad Bearings using a Kingsbury Demo Kit from the 1920s. Though these bearings were invented before the turn of the LAST century, the concept still flies today. Drew sees future applications for air bearings based on the same principles.

Glass thickness variation errors are a limiting factor in the lithography required for higher definition displays. Even high-quality FPD glass is subject to these variations, reducing processing/inspection accuracy. In fact, there is an inherent thickness variation of 5 to 7 microns; when sucked down to a flat vacuum chuck, all 5 to 7 microns of this variation will appear as surface-flatness error.
