Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to pontoon shields. The pontoon shields disclosed herein may, for example, protect pontoons from damage and/or enhance the aesthetic appearance of pontoons. The shields may be fashioned from one or more segments of resilient material configured to attach along a longitudinal aspect of a pontoon. The shields may be fashioned from a single segment, or from one or more segments configured to mate with one another. The shields may be attached to a pontoon, for example, via an adhesive, weld, and/or one or more brackets, or other mechanical means.

Abstract:
A computer program for directing operation of a tablet computer or other portable electronic device operated by a caregiver while administering an in-home or outpatient treatment to a patient. The computer program comprises a code segment for receiving pre-treatment patient data representative of a condition of a patient before the patient receives a treatment; a code segment for receiving treatment patient data representative of a condition of the patient while or shortly after the patient receives the treatment; a code segment for transmitting at least some of the pre-treatment patient data and the treatment patient data from the portable electronic device to a remote computer while or shortly after the patient receives the treatment; and a code segment for receiving and displaying instructions from a doctor that are provided in response to the transmitted data.
Abstract:
A kit comprising an installation fixture, a plurality of mechanical fasteners and an embedding tool is provided which allows for an elastomer band to be disposed in a mounting groove around a semiconductor substrate support in a manner that relieves the internal stresses of the elastomer band, leading to an elastomer band with a longer operational lifetime. The installation fixture is secured to a substrate support with mechanical fasteners. An elastomer band is placed around an outer circumference of the installation fixture and rotated back and forth to relieve internal stresses of the elastomer band. The fixture is inverted and the elastomer band is slid vertically off the fixture and into the mounting groove. An embedding tool can be used to completely insert the elastomer band into the mounting groove.
Abstract:
Atomic oxygen generated in oxygen stripping plasmas reacts with and damages low-k dielectric materials during stripping of dielectric post etch residues. While damage of low-k dielectric materials during stripping of dielectric post etch residues is lower with hydrogen stripping plasmas, hydrogen stripping plasmas exhibit lower strip rates. Inclusion of oxygen in a hydrogen stripping plasma improves both photoresist strip rate and uniformity, while maintaining a hydrogen to oxygen ratio avoids low-k dielectric material damage.
Abstract:
An improved gas injection assembly for mounting in a central bore of a dielectric window of an inductively coupled plasma chamber includes a window having a central bore and cylindrical recess configured to receive an annular insert having a bayonet opening. The gas injector assembly includes a gas injector, an RF shield surrounding the gas injector, and a faceplate surrounding the RF shield, the faceplate including projections at the bottom thereof for engaging the bayonet opening in the annular insert. The window and gas injection assembly are designed to avoid chipping of the window which is typically made of quartz and in prior mounting arrangements the window has a bayonet opening machined therein. Due to the brittle nature of the quartz material, the machined bayonet opening was subject to chipping when the gas injector assembly was inserted into the bayonet opening.
Abstract:
Systems and methods may detect a proximity of one or more client devices to a venue that provides ambient music and generate an anonymous playlist based on preference data associated with the one or more client devices. Additionally, the anonymous playlist may be sent to the venue. In one example, one or more additional venue suggestions are sent to at least one of the one or more client devices based on the preference data and one or more playlists associated with the one or more additional venues.
Abstract:
A computer program comprises a code segment for prompting a caregiver to administer a test to the patient before beginning a treatment; a code segment for receiving with a portable electronic device pre-treatment patient data representative of a result of the test; a code segment for prompting the caregiver to initiate the treatment; a code segment for prompting the caregiver to re-administer the test after beginning the treatment; a code segment for receiving with the portable electronic device treatment patient data representative of a result of the test after the patient begins receiving the treatment; and a code segment for transmitting at least some of the pre-treatment patient data and the treatment patient data from the portable electronic device to a remote computer.

Abstract:
An image output device includes a marking engine and a media path adjacent the marking engine. The media path has a media transportation direction and a media transport element (e.g., a nip drive, a belt drive, a suction drive, an air pressure drive, etc.) within the media path that moves the media along the media path in the media transportation direction. A drive motor is operatively connected to the media transport element. The drive motor provides drive force in a forward direction that causes the media transport element to move media along the media path in the media transportation direction. The drive motor can also provide the drive force in a reverse direction opposite the forward direction. A one-way drive transfer device (e.g., a one-way clutch, a one-way swing arm mechanism, etc.) is operatively connected to the drive motor. The one-way drive transfer device only transfers drive force from the drive motor when the drive motor operates in the reverse direction. The reverse direction drive of the motor, in conjunction with a one-way drive transfer device, can be used to perform the lock/unlock or the open/close of a jam clearance mechanism, baffle, or shield.
