A plate holder can include: a skirt having a top member and one or more side walls forming a cavity therebetween when the one or more side walls are resting on a substrate with the top member oriented away from the substrate; a base coupled with the skirt and located within the cavity, the base having one or more top suction device receptacles and one or more bottom suction device receptacles; one or more top suction devices coupled with the one or more top suction device receptacles such that the top suction device is oriented away from the substrate; and one or more bottom suction devices coupled with the one or more top suction device receptacles such that the bottom suction device is oriented toward the substrate.

An item holder mountable by suction on a mounting surface including a deformable and transparent body. The body includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and a periphery extending around the body and surrounding the outer surface and the inner surface. The body further includes a compartment having an opening adjacent the periphery and extending between the inner and outer surfaces for removably holding an item. The body is deformable from an undeformed shape to an actuated shape to mount the holder on the mounting surface by positioning the inner surface of the body adjacent the mounting surface when the body is undeformed thereby forming a cavity between the body and the mounting surface and deforming the body to its actuated shape thereby sealing the body against the mounting surface and forcing fluid out of the cavity to create a suction between the body and the mounting surface.
摘要:
A container or carrier for securely carrying a substrate such as a reticle, mask, wafer, or the like during a semiconductor manufacturing process or during the transport of the substrate. The container includes a housing having an opening through which the substrate may be inserted and removed. The housing includes an open box and a lid, the lid securely held in place by a unique latching mechanism. A door that is hinged upon the lid and held in place by biasing springs substantially seals the housing opening. Within the housing are a plurality of suction cups upon which the substrate rests and which apply suction to firmly engage the substrate on only one side when the substrate is in a contained position. The suction cups hold the substrate in the contained position thereby preventing relative motion between the container and the substrate. The invention further provides for increasing the suction applied by the suction cups to the substrate by applying additional suction to modified suction cups from a vacuum pump. The invention also provides a method for securely containing a substrate within a container. The method including the step of fixing the substrate in a contained position within the substrate using suction.

A portable container that holds shampoo, hair conditioner and a bar of soap. The container includes three subcompartments, each of which is dedicated to the containment of a particular toiletry item. In a first embodiment, the lid of the container is hollow and is subdivided into compartments for shampoo and hair conditioner and the lid is hingedly connected to the base of the container within which a bar of soap is contained. In a second embodiment, the soap compartment holds the soap on end and the shampoo and hair conditioner are maintained in separate compartments that surmount one end of the soap dish. The containers of both embodiments are provided with an elongate looped rope so that the container may be draped around the neck of a user.

A soap holder has a rigid body which is attachable to a vertical wall and which supports a cup-shaped member in which is a flexible pad. Flexible legs depend from the lid and are formed with integral suction cups. The cup-shaped member may be pivotally attached to the rigid body. The flexible legs may be hollow or solid. A space may be defined between the pad and cupshaped member into which the pad can flex when the legs and cups bend to conform to the curved surface of a piece of soap.

A corporeal drainage system and a method of draining fluid from a bodily cavity. The corporeal drainage system includes a connection tube and a fluid receptacle in fluid communication with the connection tube. The fluid receptacle creates a negative pressure in the system by transitioning from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. The system may include an activation member to initiate transitioning of the fluid receptacle.

摘要:
A corporeal drainage system including a fluid receptacle. The fluid receptacle in one embodiment is disposable and may be manipulated to generate a negative fluid pressure. The fluid receptacle in another embodiment is reusable and includes features to enable the insertion of a disposable bag therein. A pump may be integral to the fluid receptacle, the pump including a pair of unidirectional check valves. A catheter connection system is described, which facilitates connection between a fluid flow conduit and an implanted catheter. Methods of producing active and passive siphon systems are also disclosed.
摘要:
A process for the production of a diagnostic device which is envisaged, in particular, for the detection of a pathologically increased concentration of dehydrogenases in fluids of humans, animals or plants and consists of a carrier and a substance mixture, in which, in each case with exclusion of UV radiation, the substance mixture, which has been adjusted to a pH value in the acid range, is brought into contact, in liquid form, with the carrier and the combination of carrier and substance mixture is subsequently dried and then enclosed in a packaging casing which is opaque to light of higher energy than red light. The process has the peculiarity that the dried combination of carrier and substance mixture in the packaging casing is securely sealed against entry of air and moisture. The device thus produced can be stored for a long time before use, without its ability to function being substantially changed.
