  • Publication number: 20240149315
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a microwave heating system for desorbing contaminated soil, comprising: a feeding module; a heating cavity; a first microwave suppression cavity; a second microwave suppression cavity; a conveyor belt; a feeding device; and an exhaust module. The feeding device is arranged above the first microwave suppression cavity or the second microwave suppression cavity, and the feeding device contains a microwave absorber material. The invention further discloses a microwave heating process for desorption of polluted soil. With the microwave heating system and process for desorbing contaminated soil, the contaminated soil can be heated quickly and uniformly, and quickly cooled and taken out smoothly.

  • Patent number: 11788007
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods useful in etching, i.e., removing amorphous carbon hard masks which have been doped with elements such as boron, chlorine, or nitrogen. The compositions utilize concentrated sulfuric acid, water, and at least one oxidizing agent. In the operation of the method, the composition selectively removes the doped hard mask layer, even in the presence of layers such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, tantalum nitride, and polysilicon, with good selectivity.

  • Patent number: 10563443
    Abstract: A door hinge includes a connecting unit, a moving unit, a rotating unit and a resilient unit. The connecting unit includes a connecting member and a shaft seat that are connected to each other. The shaft seat has a connecting hole that has first and second sections. The rotating unit includes a camshaft that rotatably extends through the shaft seat, and that is connected to the moving unit. The resilient unit is disposed in the connecting hole of the shaft seat, and has a plurality of coils. A quantity of coils in the first section is less than a quantity of coils in the second section. The moving unit is pivotable to drive the camshaft to rotate against a resilient force of the coils of the resilient unit.
