Abstract: The device comprises an internal support upper arm and an external support lower arm, designed to work together so that, by gripping, the upper arm and the lower arm push against an internal face and an external face, respectively, of the lateral vessel wall; a tightening arm which rotates around an axis between an unlocked and a locked position in which the tightening arm pushes against the lateral wall and works with one of the two lower and upper arms to pin the lateral wall against at least one of the arms; and movement means designed to manually shifted between an open and closed position and to rotate the tightening arm when moving from an open to a closed position. In addition, provision is made of anti-return means, separate from the movement means, for blocking the rotation of the tightening arm in the opposite direction from the tightening direction when said tightening arm is in the locked position.

Abstract: A locking system for an enclosure (10) wherein the enclosure (10) includes a base (12) and a moveable cover (14). The cover (14) is moveable only when a key operated slide (70) is moved by a key (26) inserted into a key slot (24). Once the cover (14) is moved, the key (26) cannot be removed from the key slot (24) until the cover (14) is returned to the closed positioned. A moveable latch (50) holds the cover (14) to the base (12). The key operated slide (70) selectively connects and disconnects from the latch (50) to allow the cover (14) to be moved. The latch (50) cooperates with a clip (94) on the slide (70) which allows the slide (70) to return to the locked position to allow the key (26) to be removed from the key slot (24) only when the cover (14) and the latch (50) are closed. One or two latches can be provided with a corresponding number of key operated slides (70). The key (26) is rotatable to move the slide (70) from an extended and locked position to a retracted and unlocked position.

Abstract: A transmission box using AMHS for transferring reticle pod is provided, wherein an OHT (Overhead Hoist Transfer) system is disposed on the transmission box to perform mechanical transferring of the reticle pod for greatly reducing risks of damaging reticles caused by operators when transferring, streamlining the allocation of operators, and thus decreasing the time needed for process to complete.

Abstract: A debris receptacle is removably attachable to an edge or lip of a work surface. A debris receiving volume defined by a bottom surface and a rear panel is disposed between lower clamp arms that extend under a work surface and are biased toward upper clamp arms that extend over the work surface. Springs disposed within concentric columns that are coupled to the lower and upper clamp arms provide a biasing force, which urges the lower clamp arms toward the upper clamp arms to removably secure the debris receptacle to the edge of the work surface. The debris receptacle is thus mounted to receive debris swept from the work surface through a gap defined between the rear panel and the edge of the work surface.

Abstract: This document describes fixable cup sleeves. One of these cup sleeves is selectively fixable to a cup using a temperature-dependent adhesive that is effective to fix the cup sleeve to a disposable beverage cup when the cup is holding a warm or hot beverage. Another of these cups sleeves includes a fixing element capable of holding the cup sleeve in a closed position and fixing the cup sleeve to a disposable beverage cup when opened.

Abstract: A container is provided with a flange defining a container opening that may help expunge food product as the film and seal head comes down on the container flange. The flange of the container opening has a predetermined angle. The container flange with its sealing surface generally deflects or angularly pivots when sealed with the film during the sealing process. The container flange and film may push product contamination from the sealing surfaces inwardly into the container. The flange may be continuous about the periphery of the container opening.
