Abstract:
A modular game field bunker system comprises a plurality of interlocking frame pieces and a cover having an aesthetic feature disposed on at least an outer surface thereof. The interlocking frame pieces may be coupled together to form a structure having at least one wall. The structure preferably is fully enclosed by its walls and has an interior region defined therein for receiving a human player. The cover receives and fully covers the structure, and may partially define a doorway for entering and exiting the structure. The aesthetic feature of the cover may make the bunker appear in any of a variety of desired ways so as to customizably match a desired design scenario of the game field.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing metal bearing gases involves generating a toroidal plasma in a plasma chamber. A metal bearing gas is introduced into the plasma chamber to react with the toroidal plasma. The interaction between the toroidal plasma and the metal bearing gas produces at least one of a metallic material, a metal oxide material or a metal nitride material.
Abstract:
A method for creating an oxide layer having a reduced copper concentration over a surface of an object comprising aluminum and copper for use in a semiconductor processing system. The oxide layer produced using a plasma electrolytic oxidation process has a reduced copper peak concentration, which decreases a risk of copper contamination, and includes magnesium oxides that can be converted to magnesium halide upon exposure to an excited halogen-comprising gas or halogen-comprising plasma to increase the erosion/corrosion resistance of the oxide layer.
Abstract:
A system and methods are described for generating reagent ions and product ions for use in a quadrupole mass spectrometry system. A microwave or high-frequency RF energy source ionizes particles of a reagent vapor to form reagent ions. The reagent ions enter a chamber, such as a drift chamber, to interact with a fluid sample. An electric field directs the reagent ions and facilitates an interaction with the fluid sample to form product ions. The reagent ions and product ions then exit the chamber under the influence of an electric field for detection by a quadrupole mass spectrometer module. The system includes various control modules for setting values of system parameters and analysis modules for detection of mass values for ion species during spectrometry and faults within the system.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for activating and dissociating gases involves generating an activated gas with a plasma located in a chamber. A downstream gas input is positioned relative to an output of the chamber to enable the activated gas to facilitate dissociation of a downstream gas introduced by the gas input, wherein the dissociated downstream gas does not substantially interact with an interior surface of the chamber.
Abstract:
Apparatus for dissociating gases includes a plasma chamber comprising a gas. A first transformer having a first magnetic core surrounds a first portion of the plasma chamber and has a first primary winding. A second transformer having a second magnetic core surrounds a second portion of the plasma chamber and has a second primary winding. A first solid state AC switching power supply including one or more switching semiconductor devices is coupled to a first voltage supply and has a first output that is coupled to the first primary winding. A second solid state AC switching power supply including one or more switching semiconductor devices is coupled to a second voltage supply and has a second output that is coupled to the second primary winding. The first solid state AC switching power supply drives a first AC current in the first primary winding. The second solid state AC switching power supply drives a second AC current in the second primary winding. The first AC current and the second AC current induce a combined AC potential inside the plasma chamber that directly forms a toroidal plasma that completes a secondary circuit of the transformer and that dissociates the gas.
