Abstract: A docking station for a medical device is described. In some examples, the docking station includes a frame and a base plate coupled to the frame. At least a portion of the base plate is coupled to a lower portion of the frame. In some examples, an electronic connector of the docking station is configured to couple to the medical device and to provide power to the medical device when the medical device is docked to the docking station. In some examples, a docking mechanism is coupled to an upper portion of the frame and configured to retain the medical device.

Abstract: A faceted gemstone having at least one thin layer of material coated on the pavilion of a transparent substrate so that the body of the gemstone appears to have a different color. The color of reflected light changes hues when viewed through the face of the gemstone at different angles of observation. This causes the gemstone to appear to change color when the stone is tilted. The thin film is coated by low temperature techniques such as sputtering.

Abstract: The magnetic properties of a cobalt based, thin film, magnetic recording layer are controlled, independent of controlling the process for depositing the magnetic layer itself, by the introduction of process compatible dopant gases into an argon atmosphere during the vacuum deposition (i.e. a sputtering process or an evaporation process) of a chromium based underlayer upon which the magnetic layer is subsequently deposited. The same or a different dopant may also be introduced into the magnetic layer. The process compatible dopant gases described contain oxygen, nitrogen and/or carbon, and mixtures thereof, and include the group purified air, oxygen, nitrogen, a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor.

Abstract: A fabrication method and structure for a cobalt alloy thin film magnetic recording media uses an underlayer of sputter deposited chromium having a thickness of 50 to 200 angstroms which presents the (100) plane of the chromium atoms at the surface upon which the cobalt alloy magnetic thin film layer is to be deposited. The cobalt alloy hexagonal close packed atomic structure is sputtered onto the chromium underlayer and epitaxially grown such that the (110) plane of the cobalt alloy structure is parallel to the media surface. This disposes the cobalt magnetic layer structure to have the C axis (easiest axis of the magnetization) parallel to the media surface to optimize horizontal recording density.
