  • Publication number: 20240008965
    Abstract: A power device having a tubular housing (112) and a wired communication assembly for coupling a user interface assembly (118) and an internal assembly (114). The wired communication assembly includes a flexible ribbon cable (116) having a first end portion (138) configured to be coupled to the user interface assembly (118), a second end portion (142) configured to be coupled to the internal assembly (114), and a flexible middle portion (140). During insertion of the internal assembly (114) into the housing (112), the flexible ribbon cable (116) folds into a curved shape such that the flexible ribbon cable (116) nests inside the tubular housing (112) after the internal assembly (114) is completely inserted and the flexible ribbon cable (116) does not interfere with operation of the internal assembly (114).

  • Publication number: 20230289462
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling and calendaring are provided in various embodiments. Systems, methods and software for accessing two or more electronic or online calendars for scheduling systems to allow for efficient identification and collection of available times and dates, without accessing or using any private or other information from the calendars. Systems, methods and software to also collect available times across multiple calendars, identify available overlapping open times and produce a set of available times and dates for an event across the various calendars, with then the option to schedule the event during one of the available times. Secure multiparty computation is applied to maintain privacy and security while allowing for the access, identification and collection of open times across each of various calendars or scheduling systems.

  • Publication number: 20220287810
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an air vent assembly (100), including an air vent assembly for a pump of an oral irrigator. The air vent assembly comprises a first internal chamber (144) in fluid communication with the input port (104) and the outlet port (106) and arranged to receive a fluid or a gas. The first internal chamber comprises: a first inner surface (168) having a first inner surface portion (170) and a second inner surface portion (172); a first valve (134) comprising an expandable element (178), the first valve arranged to transition from an open state to a closed state; and an exit channel (146) in fluid communication with the first internal chamber, and arranged between the second inner surface portion of the first inner surface and the outlet port. In the closed state, the first valve is arranged to contact the first exit aperture and impede a flow of the fluid or gas into the exit channel.

  • Patent number: 11125512
    Abstract: Implementations described herein generally relate to substrate processing equipment and more particularly to methods and compositions for temperature control of substrate processing equipment. In one implementation, a method of cooling a processing chamber component is provided. The method comprises introducing an inert purge gas into a supply reservoir containing a coolant and flowing the treated coolant to a processing chamber component to cool the processing chamber component. The coolant initially comprises deionized water and a water-soluble base.

  • Publication number: 20150311067
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for processing a substrate. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a dielectric layer over a substrate, wherein the dielectric layer has a dielectric value of about 3.9 or greater, heating the substrate to a first temperature of about 600 degrees Celsius or less by a heater of a substrate support disposed within a process chamber, and incorporating nitrogen into the dielectric layer in the process chamber by annealing the dielectric layer at a second temperature between about 650 and about 1450 degrees Celsius in an ambient nitrogen environment, wherein the annealing is performed on the order of millisecond scale.
