Patent number: 11143329Abstract: A valve system having a valve position indicator is disclosed. The valve position indicator allows for viewing of the valve position from one or more viewing locations. In one example, the valve position indicator includes a side valve open/close indicator and a top valve open/close indicator on a valve assembly. An indicator locking mechanism securely locks the valve position indicator in alignment with a position of a control valve.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Entegris, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Scannell, Joseph R. Despres, Pascal Chir, Paul Muzzo

Patent number: 11134620Abstract: The present invention relates to a slurry comprising water, bentonite, and a compound selected from fertilizer, a plant growth regulator, a fungicide and an insecticide. The present invention also relates to an agricultural product comprising a slurry comprising water and bentonite, and a plant propagative material. Methods of using the bentonite to enhance a growth-related trait, such as drought tolerance, in a plant are also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Inventor: Christopher Scannell

Patent number: 10845006Abstract: A fluid supply package is described, which includes a fluid storage and dispensing vessel, and a fluid dispensing assembly coupled to the vessel and configured to enable discharge of fluid from the vessel under dispensing conditions, wherein the fluid supply package includes an informational augmentation device thereon, e.g., at least one of a quick read (QR) code and an RFID tag, for informational augmentation of the package. Process systems are described including process tools and one or more fluid supply packages of the foregoing type, wherein the process tool is configured for communicative interaction with the fluid supply package(s). Various communicative arrangements are described, which are usefully employed to enhance the efficiency and operation of process systems in which fluid supply packages of the foregoing type are employed.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: ENTEGRIS, INC.Inventors: Joseph D.

Publication number: 20200248873Abstract: Fluid dispensing assemblies are disclosed, for use in fluid supply packages in which such fluid dispensing assemblies as coupled to fluid supply vessels, for dispensing of fluids such as semiconductor manufacturing fluids. The fluid dispensing assemblies in specific implementations are configured to prevent application of excessive force to valve elements in the fluid dispensing assemblies, and/or for avoiding inadvertent or accidental open conditions of vessels that may result in leakage of toxic or otherwise hazardous or valuable gas. Also described are alignment devices for assisting coupling of coupling elements, e.g., coupling elements of fluid supply packages of the foregoing type, so that damage to such couplings as a result of misalignment is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2020Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Daniel ELZER, Ying TANG, Barry L. CHAMBERS, Joseph D. SWEENEY, Shaun M. WILSON, Steven E. BISHOP, Steven ULANECKI, James V. MCMANUS, Oleg BYL, Christopher SCANNELL, Edward E. JONES, Joseph R. DESPRES
