摘要:
Methods of processing a substrate so as to protect an active area include positioning a substrate in an inductively coupled plasma processing chamber, supplying process gas to the chamber, generating plasma from the process gas and processing the substrate so as to protect the active area by maintaining a plasma potential of about 5 to 15 volts at the substrate surface and/or passivating the active area by using a siliane-free process gas including at least one additive effective to form a protective layer on the active area of the substrate wherein the protective layer includes at least one element from the additive which is already present in the active area.
摘要:
Apparatus for the management of mobile telephone device functionality while the mobile telephone device is located within a vehicle, comprising a plurality of wireless sensors is disclosed. Each of the sensors receives position indication signals emitted by the mobile telephone device, and the Mets signals indicating the position of each sensor relative to the mobile telephone device, the wireless sensors being positioned at different positions in the period a transmitter transmits a signal to the mobile telephone device, causing the mobile telephone device to transmit the position indicating signals to the sensors. A processor is coupled to receive the signals indicating the position of each sensor relative to the signals indicating the position of each sensor relative to the mobile telephone device. The processor comprises a computational logic unit and a data storage device for storing software for computing the position of the mobile telephone device.

Apparatus for the management of mobile telephone device functionality while the mobile telephone device is located within a vehicle, comprising a plurality of wireless sensors is disclosed. Each of the sensors receives position indicating signals emitted by the mobile telephone device, and the signals indicating the position of each sensor relative to the mobile telephone device, the wireless sensors being positioned at different positions in the car. A transmitter transmits a signal to the mobile telephone device, causing the mobile telephone device to transmit the position indicating signals to the sensors. A software algorithm resident on a storage device associated with the computational logic unit controls the functionality of the mobile telephone device in response to the position of the mobile telephone device within the vehicle and the speed of the vehicle.
摘要:
A system and method for conveying flowable material through a conduit that creates a strong laminar flow of the material surrounded by a boundary layer flow of the same or a different flowable material, such that long transport distances through dramatic elevation and directional changes can be achieved. Some embodiments of the system include a blower assembly, an inlet conduit, an outlet conduit and a mixing chamber, wherein the mixing chamber includes an outer barrel, an inner barrel and an accelerating chamber. Low pressure air is supplied to the system by the blower assembly and mixed with particulate material. The air/material mixture is transported through the mixing chamber into the accelerating chamber and through the outlet conduit. In other embodiments, the particulate material is mixed with the air in the accelerating chamber. Other embodiments of the system include only the mixing chamber, where a flow of at least one flowable material in the form of high or low pressure gas, liquid, and/or particulates suspended within the gas or liquid enters either laterally or axially, forms boundary layer and laminar flows, and exits through the accelerating chamber.

A steering wheel tray is used on a steering wheel to support a horizontal tray that can be used to take notes coming over the cell phone. Of course, the driver could not be driving at this time. The tray consists of a plate that is attached to the surface of the steering wheel by upper spring loaded hooks that engage the rim of the steering wheel. At the bottom of the plate there is attached a tray that can be moved into a forward position toward the driver by way of a ratchet hinge.
摘要:
A load bearing deck structure is made from at least one sandwich panel formed of a ploymer matrix composite material. The sandwich panel comprises a plurality of substantially hollow, elongated core members having side walls, the core members being provided with an upper facesheet and a lower facesheet. Each facesheet is formed integrally with the side walls of the core members and at least one of the side walls is disposed at an oblique angle to one of the upper and lower facesheets so that the side walls and facesheets define a polygonal shape when viewed in cross section.
摘要:
A load bearing support structure in the form of a traffic-bearing highway bridge including at least one modular structural section. The at least one modular structural section includes at least one beam, the beam comprising a pair of lateral flanges and a medial web between and extending below the flanges. The beam preferably has a flat floor. A load bearing deck is positioned above and supported by the flanges of the at least one beam. The beam and load bearing deck are preferably formed of a polymer matrix composite material. The beam is positioned on and supported by one of a plurality of support members. The beam has a contoured shape configured to be matably supported by a support member having a reciprocally configured contoured shaped. Alternatively, a flat or L-shape support member can be utilized. Further alternatively, the load bearing deck comprising at least one sandwich panel is suitable for applications such as barge decks, hatchcovers, and other load bearing wall applications. Methods of constructing a support structure utilizing the modular structural section and support members are also provided.
摘要:
A recycling container with a weather-resistant coating is described. The container may be provided in a variety of configurations to accept recyclable waste or other items of trash or refuse. The recycling container may itself be recycled when its useful life has ended. The various configurations of container may be combined to form a modular recycling center as desired by the user.
