Abstract: One form of the device is a standard handpiece having a series of interchangeable treatment heads. The handpiece can accept cooperating treatment heads for twist-locking therein or by other engagement arrangement. The treatment heads may or may not have an internal motor assembly within them to create vibratory motion in the assembled device. The groups of possible treatment heads include LED-light-emitting heads, microcurrent-emitting heads, a treatment head having an abrasive or pebbled surface, as well as a bristle brush head. In another version, the handpiece and treatment head are integrated and not exchangeable. In this second version, a combination LED-light-emitting outer ring surrounds a central dual-lobe massage surface. The dual-lobe massage surface may be made from an inert material such as silicone, or it may be metallic in order to provide emission of therapeutic microcurrents.

Abstract: A steering system and method for a vehicle having steerable front and rear wheels has rear hydraulic steering device that may be coupled to one or more of the rear wheels. A rear valve assembly may hydraulically control the rear hydraulic steering device to steer the rear wheels based upon a rear steering command from a controller. In a manual steering mode, the controller does not determine a rear steering command for the rear valve assembly such that the rear wheels are freely rotatable. In a rear steering assist mode, the controller determines the rear steering command based upon, at least in part, the manual steering input.

The pumping system includes a first pump path, a second pump path, a first valve, and a second valve. The first pump path couples an opening of a substrate support assembly of the processing chamber to an exhaust port of the processing chamber. The second pump path couples the opening of the substrate support assembly to an evacuation region of the processing chamber. The first valve is positioned in the first pump path. The first valve is configurable between a first state and a second state. The second valve is positioned in the second pump path. The second valve is configurable between the first state and the second state.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a structured, pipelined large time-space switch and method of operation resolving interconnect complexity. The time-space switch results in an interconnect complexity that does not grow as the spatial dimension is increased and results in a reduction of long high fan-out nets, a quicker layout, and improved clock speed. With respect to time-space switch fabric implementation, the present invention improves the maximum clock frequency of the switch fabric, and improves integrated circuit layout time by eliminating long high fan-out nets. Certain high-speed large switch fabrics may not be realizable without this implementation, and it significantly reduces implementation time (and cost).

Abstract: A Handheld Motorized Facial Brush Having Specialized Torque Transfer Clip. The heads interface with a conventional handpiece so that the facial brush or other facial treatment head can be removed and replaced with a head chosen from a group of treatment heads. The handpiece has a sealed, washable head portion that can be activated to rotate. Each treatment head or treatment assembly includes a torque transfer clip that provides biasing force between the handpiece and the head, but at the same time results in additional vibration being transferred from the vibration generator in the handpiece to the treatment head. The torque transfer clip also allows for some flex between the treatment head and the handpiece.
