Abstract: Various carrier ring designs and configurations to control an amount of deposition at a wafer's front side and bevel edge are provided. The carrier ring designs can control the amount of deposition at various locations of the wafer while deposition is performed on the wafer's back side, with no deposition desired on the front side of the wafer. These locations include front side, edge, and back side of bevel; and front and back side of the wafer. Edge profiles of the carrier rings are designed to control flow of process gases, flow of front side purge gas, and plasma effects. In some designs, through holes are added to the carrier rings to control gas flows. The edge profiles and added features can reduce or eliminate deposition at the wafer's front side and bevel edge.

Abstract: In some examples, a faceless showerhead comprises a body including a backing plate, the body devoid of a faceplate or plenum; a gas supply stem to admit gas into the showerhead; and a baffle supported adjacent the backing plate or the gas supply stem. The faceless showerhead may further comprise at least one support element for supporting the baffle in a baffle cavity in the backing plate or the gas supply stem.

Abstract: Liquid detergent compositions can include a first surfactant which is a mixture of surfactant isomers of Formula 1 and surfactants of Formula 2: wherein from about 50% to about 100% by weight of the first surfactant are isomers having m+n=11; wherein between about 25% to about 50% of the mixture of surfactant isomers of Formula 1 have n=0; wherein from about 0.001% to about 25% by weight of the first surfactant are surfactants of Formula 2; and wherein X is a hydrophilic moiety; and a second surfactant including a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate.

Abstract: A battery housing assembly for housing battery components of an electric vehicle includes a battery tray, a lid, and a sealant. The battery tray includes a channel located outwardly relative to the battery components. The lid is secured to the battery tray and includes an end portion disposed within the channel. The lid further includes at least one alignment feature configured to align the lid and the battery tray. The sealant is disposed within a portion of the channel of the battery tray and is configured to secure the battery tray and the lid to each other. The sealant is further configured to seal an internal cavity of the battery housing assembly.

Abstract: A system includes a sensor including a set of cameras configured to capture a set of images of an enclosed space. The system further includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including: (a) receiving the set of images captured by the set of cameras; (b) pre-processing the set of images to increase quality and reduce effect of ambient lighting; (c) building a disparity map for the set of images based at least in part on a relationship between the set of cameras; and (d) determining an occupancy of the enclosed space based at least in part on the disparity map. The system can be used to determine occupancy in a trailer with irregularly shaped cargo using low cost sensors.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to narrow range alcohol alkoxylates and derivatives thereof, such as alkyl ether sulfates.

Abstract: A trephine is provided. The trephine includes a hole saw sized to accommodate an implant, the hole saw having: a cylindrical body having a proximal end, a distal end and an outer surface, a plurality of circumferentially spaced cutting teeth at the distal end of the cylindrical body, and a plurality of helical grooves on the outer surface of the cylindrical body; and a quick connect coupled to the proximal end of the cylindrical body for releasably connecting to a cooperating quick connector of a tool.

Abstract: An ATM system includes a back-end server, an ATM central processing unit (ATM CPU) that receives information relating to the ATM system and a mobile computer. The mobile computer provides a CPU (MC CPU) and a keypad. The mobile computer may also provide a touch screen configured to display an initial ATM display. The ATM system also includes an interface system for interfacing between the ATM CPU and MC CPU. The back-end server formats and transmits to the ATM an API call. The API call requests a location of the user, ATM device information, and identification information of the user. The mobile computer is configured to respond to the API call by providing the location, the ATM device information, and the identification information of the user to the back-end server.

Abstract: A system and method for lysing of whole blood for CO-Ox measurement uses a lysing chamber for acoustic lysing of whole blood in a module in which the lysing chamber is separate from a CO-Ox measurement chamber. The disclosed acoustic lysing system and method avoids the expense and complexity of chemical lysing methods and allows the whole blood sample to be lysed while under continuous flow through the lysing chamber. The acoustic lysing chamber is provided upstream from a CO-Ox measurement chamber. The separation of the lysing chamber from the Co-Ox measurement chamber provides freedom to arrange and orient various optical components and/or other CO-Ox measuring components around the CO-Ox measurement chamber. The decoupling of the lysing chamber from the CO-Ox measurement chamber allows for more efficient design of the ultrasonic lysing transducer and CO-Ox measurement optics.
