  • Patent number: 11670145
    Abstract: Guiding people toward an exit of a facility includes sending messages to a plurality of sounder devices, each message addressed to a corresponding one of the sounder devices and including a payload that specifies one or more timing parameters unique to the corresponding sounder device, the one or more timing parameters specifying when an audible alarm is to be emitted by the corresponding sounder device. A broadcast alarm message is sent to all sounder devices. In response to receiving the broadcast alarm message, each of the sounder devices emit an audible alarm in accordance with the one or more timing parameters unique to the corresponding sounder device relative to a time of reception of the broadcast alarm message to produce the perceivable sequential audible sweep from the sounder devices toward the exit of the facility.

  • Patent number: 6354917
    Abstract: A wafer processing apparatus and method of processing a wafer utilizing a processing slurry are provided. The wafer processing disk comprises a processing disk body and a plurality of processing teeth secured to the processing disk body. The plurality of processing teeth project from the disk body to define respective processing surfaces. The plurality of processing teeth include at least one pair of spaced adjacent teeth defining a processing channel there between. The processing channel is shaped such that the cross sectional area of the processing channel decreases as a function of its distance from the processing disk body.
