Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for cleaning implements for firearms. In one embodiment, a single-use cleaning implement may include a hollow member; and a cleaning surface disposed along a length of the hollow member. The cleaning surface may be disposed about a circumference of the hollow member. A flexible shaft may be configured to extend through the hollow member. The flexible shaft may comprise a retainer component disposed at a distal end, the retainer component configured to abut a distal end of the cleaning implement and to impede the cleaning implement from passing over the retainer component. The flexible shaft may be used to pull the hollow cleaning implement through the barrel of the firearm while the retainer component abuts the distal end of the cleaning implement and the first cleaning surface engages with an inner surface of the barrel to clean the barrel.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for cleaning implements for firearms. In one embodiment, a cleaning implement may include a distal end, a proximal end, and a shaft extending between the distal end and the proximal end, the shaft configured to be coupled to a cleaning rod. A cleaning surface may be disposed along a length of the shaft and configured to be received within a barrel of a firearm. The proximal end of the shaft may be sized to create a friction fit with the cleaning rod and the cleaning implement such that engagement between the cleaning implement and cleaning rod is maintained while the cleaning rod is pushed through the barrel from the proximal end, and the cleaning implement and the cleaning rod disengage when the cleaning rod is pulled away from the proximal end.

Abstract: An encryption method of digital data, a decryption method of encrypted digital data, a manufacturing system of storage apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof. The storage apparatus manufacturing method comprises the steps of: providing a plurality of first and second storage apparatuses having different first and second unique identifiers; generating first and second group IDs according to the first and second unique identifiers respectively, and generating first and second gold keys according to the first and second group IDs respectively by a processing module; encrypting first and second digital data according to the first and second gold keys to generate first and second encrypted digital data respectively; storing the first and second encrypted digital data into the first and second storage apparatuses; and packaging the first and the second storage apparatus to a plurality of packages randomly by a packaging module.

Abstract: A rapid cooling system for a rapid thermal processing chamber is disclosed. In one embodiment, the rapid cooling system includes a rapid thermal processing chamber having a wafer support for supporting a wafer. A tank having a supply of cooling liquid is provided in fluid communication with the chamber. A pump is provided in fluid communication with the rapid thermal processing chamber and the tank for pumping the cooling liquid from the tank to the chamber and cooling the wafer during the cooling phase of rapid thermal processing.

Abstract: A slurry residence time enhancement system for a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus having a base, a platen on the base, a polishing pad on the platen and a polishing head over the polishing pad is disclosed. The system includes at least one slurry distribution unit having a slurry distribution member for positioning on the polishing pad. In operation of the CMP apparatus, the slurry distribution member redirects polishing slurry on the polishing pad to the polishing head. The system may alternatively or additionally include a rim for upward extension from the base and a seal for insertion between the platen and the polishing pad adjacent to the rim.
