Abstract: A multi-path charger having multiple controllable current sources connected in parallel, each current source is in series with its own current sensor, and both are dimensioned based on the maximum power and current divided by the number of the controlled current sources. The number of used current sources depends on the load. With a light load, only one current source is on while the rest is turned off. As the load increases, more current sources are switched on to supply power to the load. By that, the power efficiency and current measurement accuracy are significantly improved with a light load. Moreover, the multi-path charger can be used with multi-output with each output supplied by several parallel current sources.

Abstract: Metal oxide films are reduced to metal with an atmospheric pressure argon and hydrogen plasma at temperatures between 25 and 250° C. A 40-nm-thick copper oxide layer on a copper-coated silicon wafer, 300 mm in diameter, can be fully removed by the argon and hydrogen plasma in under two minutes at 150° C. The fast rate of metal oxide reduction to metal demonstrates that this process is well suited for front- and back-end semiconductor manufacturing, such as for example, flux-free flip chip bonding of microbumps.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards methods for purifying a reclaimed polymer.

Abstract: Systems and processes for separating a mixture of cracked hydrocarbons. A main fractionator separates the mixture of cracked hydrocarbons into an overheads comprising C1 to C6+ hydrocarbons, a side draw, and a bottoms. An overheads condensation and high-pressure separation system partially condenses the overheads and compresses the uncondensed vapor to produce a compressed gas fraction and a compressed liquids fraction. A first distillation column receives the compressed liquids fraction and separates the compressed liquids fraction into a first overheads vapor and a first bottoms. A second distillation column separates the first bottoms into a second overheads and a second bottoms. An absorber receives and contacts in countercurrent flow a portion of the second bottoms fraction and the side draw liquid fraction with the compressed gas fraction, producing an absorber overheads fraction comprising offgas and an absorber bottoms fraction.
