Abstract: A person wearing the life preserver jacket with attached grip handles can drive a jet ski floatation tube or any situation with a partner behind him. The partner now has a handle on each of the drivers' jacket sides to safely hold onto him. Without the handles, there is nothing to hold onto. An adult or child can be rescued or retrieved with ease when wearing the life preserver with attached handles, because a rescuer can grab a handle on the wearers' life preserver and pull them to safety, or tie or clip a safety line to their handles.

Abstract: Method for removing flux residue and defluxing residue from an article using a dense processing fluid and a dense rinse fluid is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising: introducing the article comprising contaminants into a processing chamber; contacting the article with a dense processing fluid comprising a dense fluid, at least one processing agent, and optionally a cosolvent to provide a partially treated article; and contacting the partially treated article with a dense rinse fluid comprising the dense fluid and optionally the cosolvent to provide a treated article wherein an agitation source is introducing during at least a portion of the first and/or the second contacting step.

Abstract: A system and method comprising same for measuring and analyzing particles within a gas feed stream. In one aspect, the system comprises a particle counter and a particle capture filter that are arranged in parallel. In another aspect, the system comprises a purifying device to remove trace molecular impurities from a gas feed stream to reduce the presence of impurities.

Abstract: A method for removing contaminants from an article is described herein. In one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising loosening at least a portion of the contaminants by treating the article with a treatment method involving a processing fluid and/or dense processing fluid to provide a partially treated article comprising loosened contaminants; contacting the partially treated article with a dense rinse fluid comprising a dense fluid, optionally a co-solvent, and optionally an entrainer to remove liquid-based contaminants; and removing at least a portion of the loosened contaminants by exposing the partially treated article with at least one exposure method to provide a treated article wherein the selection of the at least one exposure method depends upon whether the loosened contaminants are wet or dry.

Abstract: Ultrasonic probe comprising an elongate body having a first end and a second end, an ultrasonic transducer attached to the probe at or adjacent the first end, and an enlarged support section intermediate the ultrasonic transducer and the second end, wherein the enlarged support section has an equivalent diameter greater than an equivalent diameter of the body at any location between the enlarged support section and the ultrasonic transducer. The probe may be used to introduce ultrasonic energy into ultrasonic cleaning systems.
