Abstract: A mold for use in the production of a ballistic article from a composite laminate stacked material wherein the mold has a sliding sealing section that nests with a outer permitter section and base portion so as to shield the sides of the composite laminate stacked material from applied isostatic pressure applied when in an autoclave. By shielding the sides of the composite laminate stacked material excess resin matrix material can be forced from the composite laminate stacked material to provide a uniform composite article with reduced weight and reduced thickness.

Abstract: A beverage dispensing apparatus having a height-adjustable support member for supporting a beverage vessel at a plurality of different support positions. The beverage dispensing apparatus may include a beverage dispensing outlet for dispensing a beverage and a movable support member having a top surface for supporting a beverage vessel below the beverage dispensing outlet. The movable support member may include an inner telescoping element and an outer telescoping element. An actuation assembly may be operably coupled to the movable support member to move the movable support member to modify a distance between the top surface of the movable support member and the beverage dispensing outlet. Activation of the actuation assembly may cause both the inner and outer telescoping elements to move simultaneously either towards or away from the beverage dispensing outlet.

Abstract: In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core that generates memory write requests, a cache memory, and a memory controller. The memory controller has a memory pipeline. The memory controller is coupled to control the cache memory and communicatively coupled to the processor core. The memory controller is configured to receive the memory write requests from the processor core; schedule the memory write requests on the memory pipeline; and contemporaneously with scheduling respective ones of the memory write requests on the memory pipeline, send to the processor core a write acknowledgment confirming that writing of a data payload of the respective memory write request to the cache memory has completed.

Abstract: Described is a method of providing an estimate of radiation dose received by a patient during an imaging scan performed by an imaging system. The method includes receiving patient information about the patient, receiving scan data generated during the imaging scan of the patient by the imaging system, creating a virtual dose model of the patient based upon the patient information and the scan data, receiving a selection of a region of interest of the patient, performing a dose simulation on the virtual dose model of the patient or a portion thereof, and determining, based upon an outcome of the dose simulation, an estimate of the radiation dose received within the region of interest. The imaging scan can be a partial imaging scan of a portion of the patient. Also provided is a system and software for carrying out this method.

Abstract: Methods of depositing a film selectively onto a first substrate surface relative to a second substrate surface are described. The methods include exposing the substrate surfaces to a blocking compound to selectively form a blocking layer on at least a portion of the first surface over the second surface. The substrate is sequentially exposed to a metal precursor with a kinetic diameter in excess of 21 angstroms and a reactant to selectively form a metal-containing layer on the second surface over the blocking layer or the first surface. The relatively larger metal precursors of some embodiments allow for the use of blocking layers with gaps or voids without the loss of selectivity.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for selectively cleaning and/or etching a sample. The method includes selectively forming a film in a trench of a substrate such that the trench may be selectively etched. A polymer film is deposited on the bottom surface of the trench without being deposited on the side wall. A second film is selectively formed in the trench without forming the second film on the polymer film. The polymer is then removed from the bottom surface of the trench and then etching is performed on the bottom surface of the trench using an etch chemistry, wherein the second film protects the side wall from being etched.
