Abstract:
A method of in-situ cleaning a native oxide layer from the surface of a silicon wafer positioned in a vacuum chamber that is substantially free of oxidizing species by passing at least one non-oxidizing gas over the native oxide layer at a wafer cleaning temperature between about 650.degree. C. to about 1025.degree. C. for a sufficient length of time until such native oxide layer is removed.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising substantially enantiomerically pure lipoamide and derivatives thereof and methods of use of such compositions to modulate signaling pathways for the treatment of diseases and disorders.
Abstract:
An inline water trap including a filter component and a panel connector configured to interface with a patient gas monitor. In one embodiment the inline water trap indicates to the patient gas monitor that it is in place and that the patient gas monitor may begin intaking and analyzing the filtered patient sample. The inline water trap receives a patient sample and filters water and contaminants from the sample before allowing the remaining gas portion of the sample to pass through to the patient gas monitor, thereby protecting the patient gas monitor from damage. One embodiment of the inline water trap additionally contains an RFID tag to indicate to the patient gas monitor that the correct type of inline water trap is engaged.
Abstract:
A panel structure and a method of forming the panel structure are disclosed. The panel structure typically includes at least one panel associated with a material. The panel structure has been found particularly advantageous for use as an interior panel of an airplane.
Abstract:
Bioelectrical signals may be sensed within a brain of a patient with a plurality of sense electrode combinations. A stimulation electrode combination for delivering stimulation to the patient to manage a patient condition may be selected based on the frequency band characteristics of the sensed signals. In some examples, a stimulation electrode combination associated with the sense electrode combination that sensed a bioelectrical brain signal having a relatively highest relative beta band power level may be selected to deliver stimulation therapy to the patient. Other frequency bands characteristics may also be used to select the stimulation electrode combination.
Abstract:
A method of sealing an interface, the method comprising: providing a sealant material, locating the sealant material adjacent to the interface, exposing the sealant material to an elevated temperature such that the sealant material flows adjacent the interface, and curing the sealant material to seal the interface.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a system and method of employing a porous container for sealing, baffling, reinforcing or a combination thereof. According to the method, a porous container having one or more openings is provided. An expandable material is associated with the container and is preferably placed within the container. Thereafter, the expandable material is expanded to contact and adhere to a structure of an article of manufacture (e.g., an automotive vehicle).
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for processing semiconductor substrates. Particularly, the present invention provides a modular processing cell to be used in a cluster tool. The modular semiconductor processing cell of the present invention comprises a chamber having an inject cap, a gas panel module configured to supply one or more processing gas to the chamber through the inject cap, wherein the gas panel module is position adjacent the inject cap. The processing cell further comprises a lamp module positioned below the chamber. The lamp module comprises a plurality of vertically oriented lamps.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a reinforcement material for forming reinforced members. The reinforcement material includes a strengthening material which is preferably a fabric disposed at least partially between portions of matrix material.
