Abstract: A processing system may include a plasma chamber operable to generate a plasma, and an extraction assembly, arranged along a side of the plasma chamber. The extraction assembly may include an extraction plate including an extraction aperture, the extraction plate having a non-planar shape, and generating an extracted ion beam at a high angle of incidence with respect to a perpendicular to a plane of a substrate, when the plane of the substrate is arranged parallel to the side of the plasma chamber.

Abstract: A system may include an electronic device such as a head-mounted device and a handheld controller for controlling the electronic device. The handheld controller may have a housing with an elongated shaft extending between first and second tip portions. The handheld controller may have power receiving circuitry configured to receive power from a power source. The power source may be incorporated into an electronic device such as a wireless charging dock or stick, a battery case, or a head-mounted device. The power source may supply power through terminals that form ohmic contacts with mating terminals in the finger device or may transmit power wirelessly using capacitive coupling or inductive charging arrangements. Magnets may be used to hold and align the elongated shaft of the handheld controller on the power source.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides bioactive compositions, methods of making bioactive compositions, and methods of treating a patient using such bioactive compositions. In some forms the bioactive composition of the present disclosure comprises a collagenous biomaterial and a bioactive fraction of mammalian platelets applied to the collagenous biomaterial.

Abstract: A smoke detection system comprises a manifold (4) connected to a series of sampling pipes (2). A fan (6) which draws a large volume of sampling air through the sampling pipes is connected to the inlet manifold and a small proportion of that air is directed to the inlet of a smoke detector (12), the outlet of which is connected to the manifold. The configuration obtained by the connection of the outlet from the detector into the inlet manifold provides a large pressure drop across the flow path through the detector. As a result of the large pressure drop, a filter (10) for removing dust and other contaminants can be incorporated in the flow path and the filter can also incorporate a fine filtering stage to produce a secondary clear air flow which can be directed into the detector to prevent smoke particles from settling on critical components of the detector.

Abstract: A smoke detector (2) which operates on the scattered light principle comprises a detector chamber (4) through which a light beam (10) passes. A series of collimator discs (24, 26, 28) with apertures of progressively increasing size are associated with the light source (6) to prevent glints of light from entering the zone of the chamber at which detection occurs as a result of the presence of scattered light induced by the presence of smoke particles. A light absorber (12) at the end of the detector chamber remote from the light source uses a target surface in the form of an asymmetric cone (42) onto which the beam is directed. The design of the collimator discs and light absorber reduce the occurrence of stray light, leading to increased sensitivity.
