Abstract: A gas injector for processing a substrate includes a body having an inlet connectable to a gas source that is configured to provide a gas flow in a first direction into the inlet when processing a substrate on a substrate support disposed within a processing volume of a processing chamber, and an a gas injection channel formed in the body. The gas injection channel is in fluid communication with the inlet and configured to deliver the gas flow to an inlet of the processing chamber. The gas injection channel has a first interior surface and a second interior surface that are parallel to a second direction and a third direction. The second and third directions are misaligned with a center of the substrate, and are at an angle to the first direction towards a first edge of the substrate support.

Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).

Abstract: In some examples, novel nanogel particles are described having dual functionality, temperature responsiveness and pH responsiveness. For nucleic acid sequencing, amplification primers are grafted to nanogel particles to form primer-grafted nanogel particles, and the primer-grafted nanogel particles are captured onto surfaces within a flow cell. Within flow cells such as used in SBS nucleic acid sequencing, each primer-grafted nanogel particle functions as a nano-well in the flow cell, thus eliminating the need for nano-wells in some examples.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for limiting trailing edge deflection in aircraft folding wing tips are disclosed herein. An example aircraft wing disclosed herein includes a fixed wing portion. The fixed wing portion includes an outboard rib. The aircraft wing also includes a wing tip moveably coupled to the fixed wing portion. The wing tip is moveable between an extended position and a folded position. The wing tip includes an inboard rib that is disposed in a trailing edge section of the wing tip. The wing tip includes a stop plate coupled to the inboard rib. The stop plate extends inboard from the inboard rib such that when the wing tip is in the extended position, the stop plate is disposed below a portion of the outboard rib of the fixed wing portion to limit upward deflection of the trailing edge section of the wing tip relative to the fixed wing portion.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a method comprising: obtaining, by a processing system that includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry, a signal from a magnetic sensor of a hearing instrument; determining, by the processing system, a context of the hearing instrument based at least in part on the signal from the telecoil; and initiating, by the processing system, one or more actions based on the context of the hearing instrument.

Abstract: A pumpkin scraping and scooping tool is described. The pumpkin scraping and scooping tool may include a body, a handle, a front portion, a rear portion, a right-side portion, and a left-side portion. The body may include a convex top surface and concave bottom surface. The handle may extend from the top surface of the body in an inverted “U” shape. The front portion and/or the rear portion may include a rounded tip. The left-side portion and/or the right-side portion may include wings that protrude from the concave bottom surface. The tool may be used for various purposes, such as carving melons or other fruits, gardening or digging, and/or other appropriate activities.

Abstract: Using an action registry to edit data across users and devices is described. In one or more implementations, a user editing data in an application requests to share the data with another user or another device for further editing. Responsive simply to the request or based on an exchange of content transfer information, the data is communicated to the selected user or device. Using information maintained by an action registry, a list of applications capable of editing the data is presented to the selected user or via the selected device. Upon selection of an application from the list, the selected application is launched. Once changes are made to the data by the selected user or device, those changes can be saved and the changed data automatically returned to the original user and/or device. The changed data can then be automatically presented to the original user or on the original device.
