Abstract: A method of manufacturing a part with a CMAS-resistant thermal barrier coating (TBC) includes providing a part body having a surface and providing a source of coating material. The coating material includes a thermal protection material and a CMAS-reactive material. The method also includes delivering the coating material from the source toward the surface of the part body to form the CMAS-resistant TBC on the surface. The CMAS-resistant TBC includes both the thermal protection material and the CMAS-reactive material. The CMAS-reactive material is included as a substantially uniform distribution within the thermal protection material.

Abstract: Bicycle suspension systems are presented including: a frame for supporting a rider, where the frame includes a seat tube; a pivot assembly located proximate with a bottom portion of the seat tube; a swing arm pivotably coupled with the pivot assembly, where the swing arm is configured to resist twisting and flexing; and a pair of shocks each coupled along a distal end portion of the swing arm and coupled proximate with a top portion of the seat tube. In some embodiments, the swing arm includes: a pair of non-parallel chain stays each terminating with a rear dropout on a distal end of the pair of non-parallel chain stays; and a bridge coupled with the pair of non-parallel chain stays and positioned proximate to the pivot assembly.

Abstract: Exemplary methods of coating a metal-containing component are described. The methods are developed to increase corrosion resistance and improve coating adhesion to a metal substrate. The methods include forming a bonding layer on a metal substrate, where the bonding layer includes an oxide of a metal in the metal substrate. The coating methods further include depositing a stress buffer layer on the bonding layer, where the stress buffer layer is characterized by a stress buffer layer coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is less than a metal substrate CTE and a bonding layer CTE. The coating methods also include depositing an environmental barrier layer on the stress buffer layer, where a ratio of the metal substrate CTE to an environmental barrier layer CTE is greater than or about 20:1, and where the environmental barrier layer includes silicon oxide. The metal-containing components may be used in fabrication equipment for electronic devices.

Abstract: A scheduling server is programmed to register terminals for autonomous vehicle use by allocating both capabilities and available times of the terminals to the server; identify a service to perform to an autonomous vehicle using data received from the vehicle; and send a waypoint to the vehicle directing the vehicle to arrive at an identified one of the terminals having capability to perform the service during the available times of the identified terminal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a substrate support having a two-part surface coating which reduces defect formation and back side metal contamination during substrate processing. A support body includes a body having an upper surface and a two-part coating disposed over the upper surface of the body. The two-part coating includes a first coating layer extending a first radial distance from a center of the body. The first coating layer includes at least one of a metal-containing material or alloy. The two-part coating includes a second coating layer disposed over the first coating layer. The second coating layer extends a second radial distance from the center of the body. The first radial distance is greater than the second radial distance. The second coating layer is non-metal.

Abstract: A method for forming a porous barrier coating on a substrate without substantial chemical segregation includes the steps of providing or obtaining a barrier coating material in powdered form and spraying the barrier coating material onto the substrate using air plasma spraying. The air plasma spraying is performed using an average homologous surface temperature of the depositing particles in a range of about 1.25 to about 1.5 and a particle velocity in a range of about 300 m/s to about 500 m/s. The depositing particles are fully molten.
