Publication number: 20230363279Abstract: A method for transferring a piezoelectric layer from a donor substrate onto a support substrate comprises the steps of: a) providing a predetermined splitting area in a piezoelectric donor substrate, b) attaching the piezoelectric donor substrate to a support substrate to form an assembly, and c) detaching the piezoelectric layer from the piezoelectric donor substrate comprising applying an electric field. By using the electric field, the detachment step can be carried out at low temperatures. A detaching chamber for carrying out at least a portion of such a method includes one or two chucks comprising first and/or second electrodes for applying an electric field to a piezoelectric layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventor: Cédric Charles-Alfred

Publication number: 20190139139Abstract: A system and method for automated securities trading is provided. The system includes a lead trader account database, a follower account database, and a trade determination system. Trade information is received from a lead trader and a listing of followers for the lead trader is retrieved from the lead account database. For each follower, their account at the follower account database is accessed to confirm that they desire to participate in the lead trader's trade and that they have enough funds to do so. The lead trader and follower's traders are then grouped together and traded as a single trade. The traded shares are then provided to the lead trader and followers at the average price of the trade.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2019Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Joseph Fox, Brian Lund, David Hoak, Steve Mann, Cedric Charles, Adan Romero

Patent number: 8470169Abstract: Aqueous liquid having an oxygen demand flows into a treatment vessel where it is treated by suspended aerobic bacterial solids in the presence of dissolved oxygen. A pressurised flow of the treated liquid passes to a clarifying membrane separator effective to separate the flow into a discharge stream of clear liquid and a pressurised recycle stream concentrated in the aerobic bacterial solids. A first oxic gas is employed to scour the membranes and is conveyed away from the membrane separator in the pressurised recycle stream. The pressurised recycle stream is returned to under the surface of the liquid in the treatment vessel. A second oxic gas is introduced either into the pressurised recycle stream or into a further pressurised stream of aqueous liquid flowing into the same volume. The rate of introduction of the oxic gases is controlled with reference to the pH and dissolved oxygen concentration of the liquid in the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2007Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: The BOC Group LimitedInventors: Cedric Charles Hanson, Stuart Michael Pigott
