A nonvolatile hybrid memory cell is provided which includes magnetic and semiconductor components. The cell uses a thin film stack of ferromagnetic layers situated over a silicon substrate to store data in the form of variable impedance to a spin polarized current. The cell data is isolated by semiconductor isolation elements.

A system including a user input device for controlling a position of medical equipment is described. In an example embodiment, the user input device is configured to be coupled to the medical equipment and is responsive to an operator input representation of a desired movement of the equipment. A processor determines a direction in which the operator desires the equipment to move based on a device output.

A method and arrangement passes data between two busses without needing conventional bridge-interface protocols. Consistent with one method embodiment of the present invention, data is passed between a first bus on a reference chip and an external bus using a two-way buffer arrangement between the external bus and the first bus. The method includes coupling a two-way buffer arrangement between the external bus and the first bus, determining which of the busses is the initiating bus, and in response to this determination, controlling the two-way buffer arrangement to asynchronously copy data through the two-way buffer arrangement from the initiating bus to the other bus, wherein data is passed automatically in response to its presence at the buffer arrangement without any clock cycle delays. An example application is directed to interfacing with a bus used for a rapid silicon processing chip.

An instrument for monitoring the characteristics of a liquid comprises a source of radiation (6) which is transmissible through the liquid and a detector (2) for detecting radiation emerging from the liquid. The detector (2) is responsive to components of the emerging radiation which are affected by variations in the characteristics of the liquid. The source (6) and detector (2) are arranged such that the radiation is transmitted through at least one free surface of the liquid (5) which is supported at least in part by surface tension of the liquid.

A lid assembly for a process chamber. The lid assembly includes a hinge having a hinge mount affixed to the chamber and a hinge arm. A pin extends from the hinge mount through an elongated slot in the hinge arm allowing both rotational and longitudinal motion of the hinge arm relative to the hinge mount. A support frame attached to the hinge arm has two side arms that extend perpendicularly from the hinge arms toward the front of the chamber. The lid is pivotally connected to the side arms by a pivot connection aligned with the center of mass of the lid. A detent extends from the lid through a slot in the side arm at a position offset from the pivot connection. The detent and slot serve to limit the allowable rotation of the lid relative to the lid support frame. Thus, the lid is allowed to float over the opening of the chamber as the lid is closed so that the lid may be positioned in parallel alignment relative to the opening of the chamber before being secured to the chamber.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for improving thermal management of gas being delivered to a chemical vapor deposition chamber. Thermal management is accomplished using a heat transfer fluid in thermal communication with the deposition gas passageways delivering the gases to the chamber for deposition. The gas injection manifold includes gas passageways and coolant liquid passageways, wherein the gas passageways extend through a constant voltage gradient gas feedthrough and the coolant liquid passageways extend through a gas input manifold coupled to the inlet end of the constant voltage gradient gas feedthrough. This arrangement provides for increase coolant liquid flow and allows maintenance or disassembly of the constant voltage gradient gas feedthrough without breaking the seal on the coolant liquid system.
