The substrate cleaning tank includes a tank body, a hot waste gas recycle tube, a heater and a heat exchange tube. The hot waste gas recycle tube is used to receive a hot waste gas in a hot waste gas discharge tube of a production line, the heater and the heat exchange tube are used to heat a fluid in the tank body, and the heat exchange tube is communicated with the hot waste gas recycle tube. The hot waste gas is effectively utilized, the power consumption is reduced, the production cost is saved, and the discharge of the hot waste gas is reduced.

Abstract: A fluorescent compound for acid detection is strongly emissive in the solid state and can aggregate in the presence of an acid. As such, a fluorescent intensity emitted from the compound can be enhanced from an original intensity level in the presence of an acid. The fluorescent compound can emit an enhanced fluorescent intensity in the presence of an ultra-low acid concentration, for example, a concentration of at least about 10?20 M.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for automatically establishing an inferred (‘follow’) relationship between a first member and a second member of a user community. Based on passive and/or active signals indicating affinity of the first member for the second member, the system determines whether an inferred connection from the first member to the second member would improve the first member's network within the user community. A potential improvement may be observed if the potential connection would improve some aspect or characteristic of a target or ideal network identified for the first member, and/or if there is more than a threshold level of affinity between the members. The first member's network may be pruned, if necessary, to accommodate a connection to the second member if, for example, the connection would violate a constraint associated with the target or ideal network.

Abstract: An anti-saturation device for a ground magnetic resonance signal amplifying circuit has a receiving coil connected with a band-pass filter circuit through a pre-amplifying circuit and a programmable amplifying circuit. The programmable amplifying circuit is connected with an AD acquisition card through the band-pass filter circuit. The band-pass filtering circuit is connected with a computer through the AD acquisition card, and the AD acquisition card is connected with an emitting system through the computer. An automatic amplification factor adjusting module is embedded into a nuclear magnetic resonance detector, and can also directly replace a receiving amplification circuit of the nuclear magnetic resonance detector to work independently.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for identifying an ideal or target network of a member of a professional network or social network, or one or more characteristics of such a network. Based on a type of the member, one or more attributes of a profile of the member, and/or one or more goals of the member, characteristics may be identified that support achievement of those goals or that promote more effective use of the professional network or social network by the member. By way of illustration, an ideal or target user network of a member seeking to improve her future job opportunities may include a minimum number of connections to members employed by different organizations, while an ideal or target user network of a member seeking a mentor may include a maximum number of connections to members holding senior positions within the member's industry or functional area.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for automatically establishing an inferred (‘follow’) relationship between a first member and a second member of a user community. Based on passive and/or active signals indicating affinity of the first member for the second member, the system determines whether an inferred connection from the first member to the second member would improve the first member's network within the user community. A potential improvement may be observed if the potential connection would improve some aspect or characteristic of a target or ideal network identified for the first member, and/or if there is more than a threshold level of affinity between the members. The first member's network may be pruned, if necessary, to accommodate a connection to the second member if, for example, the connection would violate a constraint associated with the target or ideal network.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for selecting electronic content to surface to a member of a user community, among content associated with a second member with whom an inferred (i.e., non-explicit) connection has been formed. Based on the members' types (e.g., Professional, Student, Recruiter) and/or other factors, a type is assigned to the new connection. A default vector comprising weights corresponding to multiple categories of content that may be served to a community member (e.g., content creation items, content curation items) is generated based on how other members within the same type of relationship interacted with content surfaced to them. A personal vector copied from the default vector is used to select, from content associated with the second member, items to surface to the first member, but may be altered over time based on the first member's interaction with the items.

Abstract: A slider supporting apparatus of includes a base portion; a flexure supported by the base portion; a contact portion being provided on a leading portion of the flexure for urging a trailing edge of the slider to contact with pads on the trailing edge; a support plate attached beneath a tongue; and a clamp comprising a mounting portion fixed on the support plate, two spring arms downward extended from the mounting portion to pass through a hole of the flexure slantwise, and a connection bar connected with two ends of the spring arms for urging a leading edge of the slider to provide a downward component force to the slider. The apparatus provides a larger spring stroke with long lifetime to reduce cost, and avoid pitch and roll static torque to generate so as to prevent the slider popping out the suspension during slider testing process.

Abstract: A dynamic power equalization module (10) for an optical network is provided. It includes a module input (16) for receiving an optical transmission (14) containing a combination of different channels (C1-Cn). Each channel (C1-Cn) has a different characteristic wavelength (&lgr;1-&lgr;n) and different varying power. A power equalization device that is polarization insensitive is connected between the module input (16) and a module output (20). The power equalization device is driven by RF acoustic signals (26). A feedback loop (22) receives at least a portion of output from the module output (20) and generates, based upon a comparison of relative powers of the different channels (C1-Cn), the RF acoustic signals (26) which drive the power equalization device. The power equalization device is driven such that it dynamically controls transmission of the different channels (C1-Cn) to substantially equalize power differentials therebetween.
