摘要： A lighted display features a decorative mounting board having an outer display surface and a rear surface. A string of lights has a plurality of bulb sockets which mount bulbs in their openings and are interconnected by electrical wiring. The bulb lighting portions each have a diameter smaller than the diameter of a socket. A plurality of apertures are arranged in a predetermined decorative pattern on the board. Each aperture is sized to enable insertion of a bulb lighting portion, but presents a barrier preventing reception of a socket. The perimeter of surrounding board material provides a resilient edge which grips the bulb lighting portions. The string of lights is mounted to the board by inserting the bulb lighting portions into said apertures from the rear surface until the sockets engage the aperture perimeters. Upon illumination, the lighted string of lights provides an illuminated outline of the predetermined pattern defined by the apertures, which may be informative, as with words, or a decorative, such as a figure. The lights are easily inserted and removed for selective use in a plurality of such displays.

摘要翻译： 点亮的显示器具有装饰安装板，其具有外部显示表面和后表面。 一串灯具有多个灯泡插座，其将灯泡安装在其开口中并通过电线互连。 灯泡照明部分的直径小于插座的直径。 在板上以预定的装饰图案布置多个孔。 每个孔的大小被设计成能够插入灯泡照明部分，但是具有妨碍接收插座的屏障。 周围板材的周边提供了夹持灯泡照明部分的弹性边缘。 通过将灯泡照明部分从后表面插入所述孔中直到插座接合孔径周边，将灯串安装到板上。 在照明时，点亮的灯串提供由孔定义的预定图案的照明轮廓，其可以是用词或装饰性的，例如图形的信息。 灯易于插入和移除，以便在多个这样的显示器中选择性地使用。

摘要： An apparatus for transporting material, such as semiconductor wafers, between process modules coupled to a chamber. The transport apparatus includes a chamber; guide rails affixed to an outer surface of the chamber; one or more material transporters each including a motorized vehicle positioned outside the chamber and movable along the guide rails, a material carrier positioned inside the chamber, and magnetic levitation means for magnetically coupling the material carrier to the motorized vehicle through a nonmagnetic wall of the chamber; and a controller that controls the position of the motorized vehicle along the guide devices to move the material carrier to desired positions within the chamber.
