  • Patent number: 10310390
    Abstract: An apparatus for a chuck having particle recesses is provided. In some embodiments, the chuck includes a plurality of impressions and a particle recess. The impressions of the plurality of impressions are laterally spaced and extend into the chuck from a top surface of the chuck to a base surface of the chuck. The base surface of the chuck defines bottom surfaces respectively of the impressions and is spaced between the top surface of the chuck and a bottom surface of the chuck. The particle recess extends in to the chuck from the top surface of the chuck to a location spaced between the base surface of the chuck and the bottom surface of the chuck. In particular, the particle recess is configured to underlie a workpiece alignment mark of a workpiece.

  • Patent number: 5862538
    Abstract: A toilet flushing device is to be installed in a water supply tank and has a diverter valve which permits the supply of high pressure water to the rim flushing conduit of a toilet bowl when the toilet bowl is flushed. The diverter valve has a valve housing and a valve rod disposed movably in the valve housing in response to increase or decrease of the water level. A passage is formed longitudinally through the valve rod so as to direct high pressure water to the water supply tank, thereby preventing fouling formation in the passage of the valve rod.
