Abstract: A method of developing an integrated abatement system is provided, including the steps: a) determining whether an integrated abatement system meets a destruction removal efficiency standard wherein the determination includes the steps: i) operating an electronic device manufacturing process tool using a best known method, whereby effluent containing a target species is produced; ii) abating the target species to form abated effluent, using an abatement system which is coupled to the process tool; and iii) calculating a destruction removal efficiency for the target species; and b) modifying the abatement system by altering at least one of a design parameter and an operating parameter of the abatement system to improve the destruction removal efficiency. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pouch with a straw hole is provided that includes the steps of feeding a front-side film forming one panel of the pouch and a back-side film forming an other panel, from a roll of material, and punching a straw hole in one panel of the pouch. The method also includes the steps of feeding a seal material tape with a plurality of temporally punched portions, and each temporal punched portion has a size slightly larger than that of the straw hole, to a rear side of the panel with the straw hole. The method further includes the steps of temporally sealing the temporally punched portion of the seal material tape over the straw hole by aligning one temporally punched portion of the seal material tape with the straw hole, separating the temporally punched portion from the seal material tape and temporally sealing the temporally punched portion to the one panel.

Abstract: A trailer (10) for the recovery of vehicles has a drawbar (12) having first and second sections (14,16) hinged together at adjacent ends, about a horizontal transverse axis; the first section (14) of the drawbar (12) has a ball cup (24) by which it may be secured to a towing hitch (100) of a recovery vehicle, the second section (16) of the drawbar (12) has a pair of arms (30) pivotally mounted adjacent the end thereof remote from the end hinged to the first section (14), the arms (30) are pivotal between a stowed position in which they are disposed parallel to the drawbar (12) and a deployed position in which they are disposed coaxially of one another on an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the drawbar (12); a pair of wheel pans (50) are mounted and able to slide, one on each of the arms (30), the wheel pans (50) are interconnected to the second section (16) of the drawbar (12) by a linkage mechanism (60, 62), so that when the arms (30) are in the stowed position, the wheel pans (50) are slid inward

Abstract: A pouch is provided with a straw hole based on a structure that does not cause problems when the contents is filled therein and which does not generate any pin holes in the side seal section. A structure is also provided that does not cause any trouble when used in an automatic filling machine and a method is provided for manufacturing the same. The pouch has a straw hole (2) for a straw to be inserted therein with the straw hole (2) back-sealed with a seal material (3) from the inside thereof. The seal material (3) covers the straw hole (2), and a portion of the seal material (2) is cut off from the seal material (2) with the size sufficient for heat-sealing a periphery of the straw hole (2). The method of manufacturing the pouch is such that after the straw hole (2) is punched out on a front-side film thereof, a seal tape (6) temporally punched is fed to the rear side of the front-side film. The seal tape (6) is pulled off to leave only the temporally sealed section there.
