Abstract: A robotic end effector is provided which includes an end effector blade, and a plurality of wafer support pads disposed on the surface of the end effector blade. Each of the plurality of wafer support pads includes a pad body having a central protrusion and having first and second fasteners disposed on opposing sides of the central protrusion.

Abstract: A robot is provided which includes a hub; an elbow joint; a wrist assembly; a first upper arm which is rotatably attached on a first end thereof to the hub, and which is attached on a second end thereof to the elbow joint; a first lower arm which is attached on a first end thereof to the elbow joint, and which is attached on a second end thereof to the wrist assembly; and a hard stop which extends over the elbow joint and a portion of the lower arm. The hard stop prevents the wrist assembly from contacting the hub when the motor of the robot is not engaged.

Abstract: A lift hoop is provided which includes a frame having a central opening, and a plurality of wafer support structures disposed on the frame. Each of the plurality of wafer support structures includes a base which is attached to the frame, and fingers which are mounted with threaded fasteners to the base and which extends from the base in the direction of the central opening. Each of the plurality of fingers is equipped with a protrusion (bump) upon which a wafer sits, and a stop. The stop is spaced apart from the protrusion. The stop has a non-planar surface which faces the central opening, and contains a point that forms the shortest distance between the stop and the protrusion.

Abstract: An electronic equipment enclosure includes a frame structure, one or more panels attached to the frame structure, at least one vertical mounting rail fastened to the frame structure, and a rail seal attached to the at least one vertical mounting rail. The rail seal includes a generally flat panel portion and a seal along an edge thereof. The seal is adapted to engage at least one of the one or more panels to provide an air dam between the one or more panels and the at least one vertical mounting rail.

Abstract: A vertical cable manager includes a base, an interconnected double-spine assembly topped by a top frame, and a pair of doors. The double-spine assembly is supported by the base. Each door is removably coupled at each lower corner to the base and at each upper corner to the top frame, thus permitting each door to be opened or hinged along either of its lateral sides or removed entirely. The double-spine assembly may support selectively repositionable mounting members, which may in turn support a large cable spool, a selectively repositionable shelf-mounted handle spool assembly, and various other cable management accessories.

Abstract: An electronic equipment enclosure comprises a frame structure formed from a plurality of support posts and at least partially enclosed by a plurality of panels. The panels include at least side, top and back panels defining an enclosure having a top, a bottom and a rear thereof. The top panel includes an opening there through that is rectangular in shape. The equipment enclosure further comprises an exhaust air duct extending upward from the top panel of the enclosure. The exhaust air duct is rectangular in cross-section and is disposed in surrounding relation to, and in fluid communication with, the top panel opening. The exhaust air duct is adapted to segregate hot air being exhausted from the enclosure from cool air entering the enclosure, thereby improving thermal management of the enclosure.
