Abstract: An edge ring for a substrate support is provided. The edge ring includes an annular-shaped body and an instep. The annular-shaped body is sized and shaped to surround an upper portion of the substrate support. The annular-shaped body defines a first top surface, a second top surface, a lower surface, a radially inner surface, and a radially outer surface; and an instep. The instep is disposed at an upper radially inner portion of the annular-shaped body and transitions from the first top surface to the second top surface. The annular-shaped body includes a first hole configured for passage of a first lift pin, the first hole being oversized to prevent the annular-shaped body from contacting the first lift pin.

Abstract: A first edge ring for a substrate support is provided. The first edge ring includes an annular-shaped body and one or more lift pin receiving elements. The annular-shaped body is sized and shaped to surround an upper portion of the substrate support. The annular-shaped body defines an upper surface, a lower surface, a radially inner surface, and a radially outer surface. The one or more lift pin receiving elements are disposed along the lower surface of the annular-shaped body and sized and shaped to receive and provide kinematic coupling with top ends respectively of three or more lift pins.

Abstract: A multiple light controlling system where a primary control pod receives a lighting schedule wirelessly and re-communicates the lighting schedule to a plurality of slaved secondary control pods via power line communication. Each of the control pods may in turn control several lights in a growing zone. Each zone may have its own lighting schedule to promote optimal plant development. Each of the control pods may also gather environmental or operational information and return that information to the primary control pod and ultimately to a remote computing device.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for building a travel plan for an event. Departure location and preference information associated with one or more users of a media platform is received from a social media platform. The preference information may be further associated with one or more event hosts. Future event information for at least one of the event hosts is then accessed. The future event information is provided to the one or more users of the media platform. Initial travel pricing information for an initial travel option is accessed by the one or more users from the departure location to at least one of the future events from one or more travel databases. The initial travel pricing information for at least the initial travel option to the future events is then provided to the one or more users of the media platform.

Abstract: Software defined radio equipment is provided. The equipment includes a software defined radio emission/reception radio sub-system, a primary software defined radio application and a secondary software defined radio application capable of interfacing with the radio emission/reception sub-system. The primary software defined radio application is a telecommunications application and the secondary software defined radio application is a cognitive radio application. A software defined radio emission/reception radio sub-system is also provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing biological databases. The methods and systems can comprise creation, organization, and presentation of biological databases. The biological databases can be created using data obtained from a plurality of other databases and periodically updated. An executive summary can be created for a biological sequence using the biological database.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for managing databases.
