Abstract: An improved tooling, including: a base housing having an interior and tooling holes, the tooling holes being configured to receive alignment studs attached to a tooling fixture; a first clamping fixture and a second clamping fixture fit inside hollowed regions within the base housing; a shaft having a length and an axis along the length of the shaft, the shaft situated inside the base housing and the shaft having a first threaded region and a second threaded region to connect the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture, whereby rotation of the shaft causes the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture to move towards and away from each other along the axis of the shaft; each of the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture comprising one or more securing mechanisms configured to: engage and disengage the alignment studs based upon rotation of the shaft.

Abstract: An improved tooling base, including: a base housing having an interior and registration holes, the registration holes being configured to receive alignment studs attached to the tooling fixture; a clamping system fit into the interior of the base housing, wherein the clamping system comprises a first device configured to secure, when adjusted to a first position, the tooling fixture to the tooling base via interaction with an indentation on each of the alignment studs and configured to release, when adjusted to a second position, a hold on the indentation on the alignment studs, thereby enabling removal of the tooling fixture from the tooling base; and one or more ejector components positioned in the base, whereby movement of an actuator causes the one or more ejector components to move upwards such that a portion of the one or more ejector components extends out from a top surface of the base.

Abstract: A vehicle stem configured to secure a handle bar to a vehicle frame is disclosed. The vehicle stem includes: a body containing a first and second arm segment defining a vehicle frame hole; a handle bar clamp arm positioned adjacent to the first and second arm segment, wherein a curvature of the handle bar clamp arm defines a handle bar oriented perpendicular to the vehicle frame hole; wherein a first distal end of the first arm segment comprises a first set of vehicle frame clamp holes and wherein a second distal end of the second arm segment comprises a second set of vehicle frame clamp holes; wherein a first distal end of the handle bar clamp arm comprises a set of slotted fastener holes that are separated by a gap from a set of threaded fastener holes positioned on a second distal end of the handle bar clamp arm.

Abstract: A filter includes a housing having an interior space, in which the housing has at least one opening end. The filter further includes a membrane disposed within the housing that has a length that extends along a length direction of the housing, and a baffle provided at least in the interior space of the housing. The baffle includes at least two baffle partitions that extend along at least a portion of the length of the membrane to divide the interior space of the housing into at least a first portion and a second portion so that when a fluid is supplied to the filter, the fluid is directed to first flow in the first portion and then to the second portion.

Abstract: A machine-tool vise is described that employs an articulated two-piece movable jaw including a jaw nut that engages the lead screw and a jaw bit coupled to the jaw nut through a slanted interface wherein the slanted interface between the nut and the bit is located at the top of the bit to eliminate the secondary effects found in the prior art.

Abstract: A tooling base that is an improvement over current designs in the form of simplified number of parts, easier manufacturing of parts and that can be actuated for clamping and releasing a tooling fixture by pneumatic, other computer controlled means as well as manually is described. The tooling base uses clamping fixtures that are spring loaded to press cleats into recesses on alignment studs that locate and hold any variety of tooling fixtures to the base.

Abstract: A tooling base that is an improvement over current designs in the form of simplified number of parts and easier manufacturing of parts is described. The tooling base uses alignment fixtures on threaded rods that are restricted in their movement within the tooling base by stops. The stops are located either on the threaded shafts or on the alignment fixtures. This allowed degree of movement enables simplified part design and manufacture while maintaining the precision and accuracy of registration of a tooling fixture with the tooling base.

Abstract: Methods for removing contamination from a surface disposed in a substrate processing system are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for removing contaminants from a surface includes: providing a first process gas comprising a chlorine containing gas, a hydrogen containing gas, and an inert gas to a process chamber having the surface disposed within the process chamber; igniting the first process gas to form a plasma from the first process gas; and exposing the surface to the plasma to remove contaminants from the surface. In some embodiments, the surface is an exposed surface of a process chamber component. In some embodiments, the surface is a surface of a first layer disposed atop a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a single ring comprising a circular ring-shaped body with an inner surface, closest in proximity to a centerline of the body, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The body has a bottom surface with a slot formed therein and a top surface with an outer end, adjacent to the outer surface, and an inner end adjacent to a slope extending, towards the centerline, down to a step on the inner surface. The body has a lip, disposed on the inner surface extending out from a vertical face below the step toward the centerline of the body, and is configured to support a substrate thereon. The body is sized such that a gap of less than about 2 mm is formed on the lip between the substrate and the vertical face of the step.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for caching fragmented streaming media, e.g., for caching fragmented media documents streamed in accordance with HTTP, are described in this specification. In one aspect, a system including means for obtaining, locally, fragments of a media document from a remote media source based on a manifest that refers to storage locations where the fragments are stored at the remote media source. Further, the system includes means for generating index points into a locally cached media item of the obtained fragments, the generated index points being different from any index point of the manifest. Additionally, the system includes means for playing the locally cached media item based on the generated index points.
