Patent number: 10512862Abstract: Filter elements for gaseous fluid (e.g., air) filtration for wafer processing systems. The filter elements have a pleat ratio of no greater than 7, where the pleat ratio is the number of pleats per mean diameter of the filter. By having a pleat ratio no greater than 7, and in some implementations also greater than 5, the filter is optimized for wafer processing systems and methods. This pleat ratio optimizes the spacing between pleats, thus balancing filtration media area against effective area, such as what might be lost due to contaminant bridging.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: VEECO INSTRUMENTS INC.Inventors: Maria Ferreira, Joseph Lamb, Ankit Modi, David Gant

Patent number: 10269595Abstract: A seal having a cross-sectional profile that includes a first lobe, a second lobe, and a corner having an angle between 45 and 90 degrees, inclusive, a first side extending from the first lobe to the corner and a second side extending from the second lobe to the corner, where the first side and the second side define the corner angle. The seal can be seated in a groove so that the first lobe and the corner are in the groove and the second lobe extends from the groove. In use, the second lobe folds into the groove to form a fluid-tight seal.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: VEECO INSTRUMENTS INC.Inventors: Ian Kunsch, Brett Stuart Snowden, Gregory Williams, David Gant, Aaron Frazier

Publication number: 20080320627Abstract: A new and distinct variety of evergreen shrub holly distinguished in that it combines from three species (Ilex rugosa, I. integra, and I. pernyi), as well as exhibiting desirable landscape and production traits which distinguish it from other forms of Ilex. Plants of the new variety exhibit a moderately vigorous rate of growth, develop a dense, self-compacting, moderately broad conical form of moderate size, possess small, shiny, dark green leaves with a beautiful finely rugose surface and non-spiny margins (consumer friendly) with bright red fruit displayed on wood of the previous season's growth, and are outstanding for their high level of winter hardiness.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2007Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: Rutgers, The State UniversityInventors: Elwin Orton, David Gant

Publication number: 20050138706Abstract: An interspecific hybrid of Cornus kousa×C. nuttallii exhibits the vigorous nature and the floral display of large, white bracts of plants of C. nuttallii and the dark, glossy green foliage and disease and insect resistance of plants of C. kousa. The hybrid thus provides a new, unique, and sperior large-braed dogwood for landscaping purposes. Plants of C. nuttallii become very large in nature in areas where they are indigenous but seldom thrive in other areas. Plants of this novel hybrid are expected to thrive in many regions of the world where plants of C. kousa perform well.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Elwin Orton, David Gant

Publication number: 20040010828Abstract: Rutzan is a new and distinct variety of evergreen holly distinguished in that it combines from three species (Ilex aquifolium, Ilex rugosa, and Ilex pernyi), desirable landscape and production traits which distinguish it from all other forms of Ilex. Plants of the new variety exhibit a moderate rate of growth, develop a densely branched narrow to moderately broad conical form of compact size, possess small to medium sized dark green spiny leaves, produce an abundance of bright red fruit well displayed on wood of the previous season's growth, and are outstanding for their exceptionally high level of winter hardiness.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2002Publication date: January 15, 2004Inventors: Elwin R.
