Abstract: A `hands-free` wall-attachable web storage tool comprises a generally elongate body member, having a handle portion and a distal end portion. A grip is affixed to the handle end portion and an end cap is fitted over the distal end portion. Wall surface-piercing probe elements are affixed at an acute angle to the distal end of the body member. Each of the pointed probe elements is inserted through a respective sleeve-configured stand-off. For supporting a roll of web material, a generally L-shaped shaft member is affixed to the generally elongate body member. The L-shaped rod has a leg spaced apart from the distal end portion of the generally elongate body member, which receives and supports the roll of web material in proximity with the distal end of the elongate body member. A clip element is mounted to the generally elongate body member to allow the tool to hang from the hanger's belt or pants pocket in a safe orientation when not in use.

Abstract: Within an ion implanter, a source element or filament may be cured outside of the ion implanter. This may be accomplished within a vacuum chamber using the same source assembly or canister to hold the filament as is used within the ion implanter. The filament within the source canister is inserted into the vacuum chamber and a vacuum is produced at a first set point. Then, the current is gradually increased while monitoring the pressure compared to a second set point. The current is decreased where the second pressure set point is reached to prevent oxidation. Where the chamber pressure is below the second set point, the current is allowed to increase. The curing of the filament is indicated when the filament increases to the third set point, without chamber pressure exceeding the second set point.

Abstract: A retainer assembly for an automotive wheel member ornamental cover includes a cam surface arranged about the periphery of an aperture in the wheel member and a resilient retainer assembly having fingers insertable through slots piercing the cam surface to be flexed through rotation of the cover to a position registering with locking notches formed in the cam surface wherein snap fit retention is effected.
