  • Patent number: 12018514
    Abstract: A reversible door lock having a status indicator is provided. The door lock may include an escutcheon plate having a window through which the status of the door on a status indicator ring may be view. When the door is locked and unlocked via an actuator (e.g., a thumbturn) the door status indicator ring may change positions. The lock may include a drive wheel operatively coupled to the actuator and the status indicator ring. The drive wheel may be capable of moving between a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the status indicator ring such that the door lock operates in a first direction (e.g., a right-hand direction) when the drive wheel is in the first orientation and in a second direction (e.g., a left-hand direction) when the drive wheel is in the second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20220098898
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a reversible door lock having a status indicator. For example, a door lock according to the present disclosure may include an escutcheon plate having a window through which an indication of the door status (e.g., locked or unlocked) may be viewed. The door status may be indicated through the window via a status indicator ring that turns as the lock transitions from one state to another via an actuator (e.g., a thumbturn). Moreover, the lock may include a drive wheel operatively coupled to the actuator and the status indicator ring such that the drive wheel moves the status indicator ring as the actuator is moved. The drive wheel may be capable of moving between a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the status indicator ring such that the door lock operates in a first direction (e.g., a right-hand direction) when the drive wheel is in the first orientation and in a second direction (e.g.

  • Patent number: 9455037
    Abstract: An electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) cell may include a substrate including at least one active region, a floating gate adjacent the substrate, a write/erase gate defining a write/erase path for performing high voltage write and erase operations, and a read gate defining a read path for performing low voltage read operations, wherein the read path is distinct from the write/erase path. This allows for a smaller read gate oxide, thus allowing the cell size to be reduced. Further, the EEPROM cell may include two independently controllable read gates, thereby defining two independent transistors which allows better programming voltage isolation. This allows the memory array to be drawn using a common source instead of each column of EEPROM cells needing its own source line. This makes the array more scalable because the cell x-dimension would otherwise be limited by each column needing two metal 1 pitches.

  • Publication number: 20140014138
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning an article in semiconductor manufacturing are provided. The method includes subjecting a first chamber containing the article to a vapor source while controlling a temperature of the article and a temperature of the vapor source such that vapor from the vapor source condenses on a surface of the article to form a liquid film. The method further includes evaporating the liquid film, whereby the evaporating liquid transports contaminants from the surface of the article. Evaporating includes exposing the first chamber to condensing surfaces having a temperature lower than a temperature of the article, whereby the evaporated liquid condenses on the condensing surfaces. The apparatus includes a first chamber for housing the article, a vapor source connected to the first chamber, a temperature controller, and a second chamber connected with the first chamber to collect the vapor evaporated from the article.

  • Patent number: 8470176
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method whereby small particle nano materials may be contained in a highly functional package for fluid separation and/or purification applications. The package consists of an aerogel material which uniformly surrounds the nano-particles. The aerogel may be composed of carbon, silicon, or silicon oxide or other suitable materials. The morphological features of the aerogel may be tailored specifically towards fine particle and ultrafine particle containment while maintaining uniform fluid flow in separation and purification processes. The aerogel may be bonded to a suitable rigid housing by chemical or mechanical means.

  • Patent number: 8169924
    Abstract: A provider edge (PE) node of a network operates to send a trace path message over the network to a receiver PE node, the trace path message recording a list of intermediate nodes of a unicast path from the PE node to the receiver PE node; and receive a join message initiated from the receiver PE node, the join message using the list to propagate to the source PE node through the intermediate nodes such that a branch of a multicast tree is aligned with the unicast path. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

  • Publication number: 20110233072
    Abstract: A method of purifying a hydrogen stream using an electrochemical cell having an enclosed electrically conductive cylindrical outer shell and a hollow wet polymeric membrane located within and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member which provides an inner compartment and an outer compartment. An electrode having a longitudinal axis is located within the inner compartment and is spaced from the hollow polymeric membrane. A gas inlet for feeding a hydrogen stream that is to be purified communicates with the inner compartment and a gas outlet is provided for passing purified hydrogen gas thru the cylindrical outer shell. The electrode within the hollow wet polymeric membrane is connected to an anode terminal of a dc supply with an electrical conductor and the outer shell of the cylindrical shaped member is connected to a cathode terminal of the dc supply with another electrical conductor.

  • Patent number: 7936702
    Abstract: Facilitating Bi-Directional PIM communication between hosts in different multicast domains. A first rendezvous point (RP) router contained in a first multicast domain receives a first control packet. The first control packet includes a first multicast destination address G1. In response to receiving the first control packet, the first RP router generates a second control packet. This second control packet includes a second multicast destination address G2, wherein the second multicast destination address G2 is distinct from the first multicast IP address G1. After the second control packet is generated, the first RP router transmitting the second control packet toward a second RP router contained in a second multicast domain. The second control packet initiates a distribution tree building process between the first and second RP routers. This distribution tree can be used to transmit multicast data packets between the first and second RP routers.
