After each optical element is located and inserted into a respective hole, the optical elements are polished to be planar with the surface of the wafer. The system of equations may include variables representative of the parameter vector, the lateral tool displacement vector, and the standoff measurements. The gimbal mount is adapted for angular movement relative to the central longitudinal axis upon angulation of the surgical instrument while substantially maintaining the sealed reception of the surgical instrument.

A microfabricated actuator of the vertical comb-drive type or staggered vertical comb-drive type for torsional or linear applications includes torsion springs which permit self-aligned deformation of the device structure of the actuator through the heating of the torsional springs to plasticity. The bottom surface of the bottom plate is constructed to removably couple to a tripod. Two straps go around the dog’s hind legs and one around the waist attaching with a plastic clasp that allows the straps to be adjusted in length. Additionally, the large topography composites, together with the large ceramic abrasive particles, provide an abrasive article that has a more consistent cut, a longer cutting life, and a more consistent surface finish than structured abrasive articles having a smaller topography, even with the same abrasive particles. The controller writes readable data in logical wraps each having less than n physical tracks to the optical tape via at least some of the optical pickup units such that for each of the logical wraps that contain readable data, all physical tracks within the logical wrap contain readable data. The discrete time analog filter may also filter the analog samples with either equal weights for a rectangular filter or at least two different weights for a weighted filter.
