  • Publication number: 20240136160
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for measuring and controlling local impedances at a substrate support in a plasma processing chamber during processing of a substrate. A substrate support includes a plurality of substrate support pins wherein the radio frequency voltage, current and phase of each of the plurality of substrate support pins are measured and impedances of the support pins are adjusted in real time. Each of the substrate support pins is coupled to an associated adjustable impedance circuit that may be remotely controlled. In one embodiment a variable capacitor is used to adjust the impedance of the impedance circuit coupled to the associated substrate support pin and may be remotely adjusted with a stepper motor.

  • Patent number: 11965904
    Abstract: A sample to be measured is placed in a medium solution between two circular magnets to ensure that the sample to be measured is levitated in a set circular area between the two circular magnets, and a levitation position of the sample to be measured in the magnetic field is measured. The density of the sample is calculated according to formula (I): ? s = ? m + ? m - ? s g ? ? 0 ? ( B r ? ? B z ? r + B z ? ? B z ? z ) . Compared to the prior art, the method of the present disclosure provides a novel method for measuring a density of a substance, in which the involved device is easy to operate and has low cost, and the measurement results are easy to observe and have high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11857657
    Abstract: The present invention implements a strategy that combines an enzyme inhibition assay with a chemical dereplication process to identify active plant extracts and the particular compounds—diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols within those extracts that specifically inhibit binuclear enzyme function. Included in the present invention are compositions of matter comprised of one or more of diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols, which inhibit the activity of binuclear enzymes, particularly tyrosinase and which prevent melanin overproduction. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting the activity of a binuclear enzyme, particularly tyrosinase and a method for preventing and treating diseases and conditions related to binuclear enzyme function. The present invention further includes a method for preventing and treating melanin overproduction and diseases and conditions of the skin related thereto.

  • Patent number: 8852657
    Abstract: The identification and isolation of chromones and novel chromone compositions from plant sources that exhibit up-regulation of adiponectin production by adipocytes and the normalization of virtually hundreds of genes related to glucose and fatty acid metabolic and signaling pathways. The chromone compositions are effective in enhancing adiponectin production by adipocytes and regulating genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, mitochondrial ?-oxidation of fatty acids, steroid biosynthesis, gluconeogenesis, fat transport, PPAR?/RXR? liver signaling and xenobiotic metabolism. The chromone compositions can be used to increase insulin sensitivity, improve glucose tolerance, lower triglyceride levels and balance glucose levels in mammals. Included are methods for the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases and conditions including, but not limited to insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, metabolic syndromes, dyslipidemia, and hypertriglyceridemia.
