Abstract: Development of resists are useful, for example, to form a patterning mask in the context of high-resolution patterning. Development can be accomplished using a halide-containing chemistry such as a hydrogen halide. A metal-containing resist film may be deposited on a semiconductor substrate using a dry or wet deposition technique. The resist film may be an EUV-sensitive organo-metal oxide or organo-metal-containing thin film resist. After exposure, the photopatterned metal-containing resist is developed using wet or dry development.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are radiative heating systems and methods for use with dry development processes. Such systems and methods may, in some instances, allow for volatile halides that may be trapped on the surface of a wafer after dry development processing has completed to be driven out of the wafer through radiative heating thereof. Such systems and methods may, in some instances, be provided in an in-situ context in which the wafers being heated are radiatively heated within the same chamber as the dry development process is performed. In other contexts, such radiative heating may be performed in other locations, e.g., as the wafer transits from the processing chamber to another chamber or in another chamber entirely.

Abstract: A water-soluble glass bolus article in a form suitable for oral administration to a ruminant animal, the article comprising carboxylate glass and an organic active agent. Metal carboxylates such as acetates, propanoates and butanoates can be melted to a glass and have a lower melting temperature than phosphate-based glass materials, allowing thermally sensitive active agents to be formulated into a glass bolus article. The carboxylate glass is formed from one or more metal carboxylates having a melting point of less than 300° C. in which the anion is selected from one or more acetates, propanoates, or a mixture of carboxylate anions. The metal may be selected from sodium, potassium, calcium and zinc.

The bolus article is generally a rumen bolus article. The seaweed extract enriched in bromoform is a methanolic extract or an oil extract of seaweed. The bromoform constitutes at least 60% of the seaweed extract by weight. The seaweed extract is lyophilised seaweed extract. The seaweed extract is an extract of an Asparagopsis species of seaweed. A method of reducing methane production in ruminant animals is also described.

Abstract: A water soluble or water dispersible rumen bolus article suitable for oral administration to a reticulo rumen of a ruminant animal is described. The rumen bolus article comprises a water soluble or water dispersible matrix and seaweed or a seaweed extract enriched in at least one bioactive agent, wherein the rumen bolus article when administered to the reticulo rumen of the ruminant animal is configured to release the seaweed or seaweed extract over a sustained period of time. The seaweed extract is enriched in one or more bioactive agents selected from a vitamin, a mineral, an essential amino acid, an antioxidants, fibre, and a lipid. Bioactive agent generally constitutes at least 5 or 10% of the seaweed extract by weight. The seaweed extract is a lyophilised seaweed extract.

Abstract: A container having a pressurized chamber containing a fluidic material and a dispensing assembly coupled thereto. The dispensing assembly includes a dispensing passageway for discharging the fluidic material from the container. A dispensing valve, a tilt valve, and a pump assembly are all operably coupled to the dispensing passageway. The tilt valve is alterable between a closed state in which the pressurized chamber is scaled and an open state in which the dispensing passageway is fluidly coupled to the pressurized chamber. The pump assembly is alterable between a first state in which a variable volume of the dispensing passageway in at a first volume and a second state in which the variable volume is at a second volume that is less than the first volume. Thus, the pump assembly creates a negative pressure behind the dispensing valve to prevent excess fluidic material from being dispensed.
