Abstract: A combined ventilation and microwave oven system includes an external enclosure with a top portion defining recirculation vent outlets, a cooling air inlet, a cooling air outlet, and an outside vent outlet, first and second side portions, and a bottom portion defining a vent inlet. The vent inlet is connected with the recirculation vent outlets and the outside vent outlet via airflow pathways. A hood assembly is disposed within the external enclosure and includes a first hood fan disposed between the cooking cavity and the first side portion and a second hood fan disposed between the cooking cavity and the second side portion. The hood assembly is configured to direct air through the vent inlet and through an interior of the external enclosure. A cooling fan is disposed between the cooking cavity and the second side portion to direct air through the cooling air inlet and the cooling air outlet.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a susceptor for chemical vapor deposition comprising a horizontal component with a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface is configured to support one or more wafers; a vertical component extending from the bottom surface of the horizontal component along a longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal component; and a hollow region within the vertical component. Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a susceptor for chemical vapor deposition comprising a horizontal plate with a top surface configured to support one or more wafers, a vertical rod integrated with and perpendicular to the horizontal plate, and a hollow region within the vertical rod for promoting temperature uniformity across the top surface of the horizontal plate.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a liquid storage tank having a heating element, an inlet for receiving unheated liquid, an outlet for outputting heated liquid, and a partition configured to divide the tank into a first portion and a second portion. The partition can have an aperture such that the first portion and the second portion are in fluid communication. The liquid storage tank can include an actuator in mechanical communication with the partition and configured to linearly move at least a portion of the partition based at least in part on the temperature of liquid within the tank.

Abstract: Therapeutic as well as preventive measures to improve cosmetic conditions and to alleviate the symptoms of dermatologic disorders with retinal and its derivatives is disclosed. Cosmetic conditions and dermatologic disorders in humans and domestic animals in which retinal and its derivatives may be useful include age spots, wrinkles, warts, eczema, seborrheic keratoses, acne, oily skin, psoriasis, dandruff, xerosis, inflammatory and pruritic skin, disturbed keratinization skin changes associated with aging and possibly viral infections. Retinal and its derivatives include their stereoisomers, for example, all-trans, 13-cis, 11-cis, 9-cis, 7-cis, 11,13-cis and 9,13-cis vitamin A aldehydes, their hydrate, hemiacetal and acetal forms, and their adduct compounds. Compositions containing retinal or its derivative may be administered systemically such as orally, or topically to the affected areas of the skin.
