Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for cooling a substrate in a processing chamber by a bi-directional cooling process prior to transferring the substrate outside the processing chamber are provided. First cooling gas is introduced into the processing chamber from an upper gas source in a downward direction towards the upward facing surface of the substrate. An apparatus is placed underneath and in proximity to the substrate. Second cooling gas is introduced from the apparatus into the processing chamber in an upward direction towards the downward facing surface of the substrate. One or more gaps are cut out of the body portion of the apparatus, the gaps configured to allow the apparatus to avoid contact with the support structure holding the substrate, as the apparatus is moved in a horizontal direction into position underneath the substrate during placement of the body portion of the apparatus in proximity to the substrate.

Abstract: Some devices and systems comprise one or more walls of a reaction chamber; an adjustable gap in the one or more walls, wherein the adjustable gap is formed between a first gap surface and a second gap surface facing the first gap surface, and wherein a distance between the first gap surface and the second gap surface is adjustable; a plurality of stops, wherein each stop of the plurality of stops is positioned on either the first gap surface or the second gap surface, wherein the plurality of stops ensure a minimum distance of the adjustable gap, wherein a total length of the plurality of stops is less than 1% of a length of the first gap surface; and one or more vacuum ports in the first gap surface or the second gap surface.

Abstract: Energy sources and methods for curing in an imprint lithography system are described. The energy sources may include one or more energy elements positioned outside of the viewing range of an imaging unit monitoring elements of the imprint lithography system. Each energy source is configured to provide energy along a path to solidify polymerizable material on a substrate.

Abstract: A controlled stent-graft deployment delivery system (10 50 or 900) includes a stent-graft (30 or 63), a retractable primary sheath (40) containing the stent-graft in a first constrained diameter configuration, an outer tube (18) within the retractable primary sheath and within the stent-graft, and an inner tube (20) within the outer tube, where the inner tube and the outer tube both axially move relative to the retractable primary sheath and to each other. The system further includes a cap (15) coupled to a distal end of the inner tube and configured to retain at least a portion of a proximal area of the stent-graft in a radially compressed configuration. A distal assembly (100) provides controlled relative axial movement between the outer tube and the inner tube enabling the release of the proximal end (65, 67, 68, and 69) of the stent-graft from the cap and from the radially compressed configuration.
