  • Publication number: 20080057218
    Abstract: Vaporizable material is supported within a vessel to promote contact of an introduced gas with the vaporizable material, and produce a product gas including vaporized material. A heating element supplies heat to a wall of the vessel to heat vaporizable material disposed therein. The vessel may comprise an amoule having a removable top. Multiple containers defining multiple material support surfaces may be stacked disposed within a vessel in thermal communication with the vessel. A tube may be disposed within the vessel and coupled to a gas inlet. Filters, flow meters, and level sensors may be further provided. Product gas resuting from contact of introduced gas with vaporized material may be delivered to atomic layer deposition (ALD) or similar process equipment.

  • Publication number: 20050223469
    Abstract: A glove for participants of video gaming includes various palmar grip surfaces and a cushion overlying the flexor pollicis brevis and/or opponens pollicis muscles to protect the thumb and palm, and avoid fatigue and repetitive motion injury. The cushion can be a gel pack suitable for heating or cooling, and can be replaced while playing. The glove can also include electrodes on the inner surface for the application of TEMS and/or TENS to the wearer, even during play.

  • Publication number: 20050006799
    Abstract: Structure helps support material in a container with an increased exposed surface area to help promote contact of a gas with vaporized material. For at least one disclosed embodiment, the structure may help support material for vaporization in the same form as when the material is placed at the structure. For at least one disclosed embodiment, the structure may help support material with an increased exposed surface area relative to a maximum exposed surface area the material could have at rest in the container absent the structure. For at least one disclosed embodiment, the structure may define one or more material support surfaces in an interior region of the container in addition to a bottom surface of the interior region of the container. For at least one disclosed embodiment, the structure may define in an interior region of the container one or more material support surfaces having a total surface area greater than a surface area of a bottom surface of the interior region of the container.
