Publication number: 20230174394Abstract: A method for treating a waste stream from a copper CMP process including dissolved copper and abrasive particles having a number weighted mean size of less than 0.75 ?m includes introducing the waste stream into a feed tank, flowing the waste stream from the feed tank into an ultrafiltration module, filtering the waste stream through a membrane of the ultrafiltration module to form a solids-lean filtrate, directing the solids-lean filtrate from the ultrafiltration module through an ion exchange unit to remove dissolved copper and produce a treated aqueous solution having a lower copper concentration than the copper concentration of the waste stream, backwashing the membrane ultrafiltration module to remove the slurry solids from the membrane of the ultrafiltration module, and combining the removed slurry solids with the treated aqueous solution to form a combined discharge stream having a copper concentration suitable for discharge into the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Evoqua Water Technologies LLCInventors: JEFFREY W.

Patent number: 7782530Abstract: A deployable thin-film mirror telescope comprises a base structure and a metering structure. The base structure houses a thin-film mirror, which can be rolled for stowage and unrolled for deployment. The metering structure is coupled to the base structure and can be folded for stowage and unfolded for deployment. In the deployed state, the unrolled thin-film mirror forms a primary minor for the telescope and the unfolded metering structure positions a secondary minor for the telescope.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Sandia CorporationInventors: Leslie J. Krumel, Jeffrey W. Martin

Patent number: 6795707Abstract: The present invention is related to methods and systems for correlating telecommunication antenna infrastructure placement information to provide telecommunication quality of service information. In one embodiment, a system includes a database configured to store cellular antenna location information for a plurality of cellular antennas associated with a first service provider, and to store cellular antenna placement information for a plurality of antennas associated with a second service provider. The system further includes a first instruction configured to transmit a request over a network to a first terminal for a user to identify a first location in which the user intends to utilize cellular service, a second instruction configured to request the user to identify a travel route connecting to the first location on which the user uses cellular service, a third instruction configured to determine the cellular coverage provided by the first service provider for areas along the travel route.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2001Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Inventors: Jeffrey W. Martin, Campbell Hawkins, Paul Derby

Publication number: 20020120519Abstract: The present invention is related to a distributed information system used to collect and correlate user information with products and services. One method in accordance with the present invention comprises providing a first terminal in a store which is networked to a server having item and services databases, receiving an indication from a customer that the customer wants to purchase a first item-type, receiving profile information related to the first-item type from the customer, and based on the profile information, selecting a plurality of items from the item database corresponding to the first item-type and a plurality of related services of a first service type from the services database. The method further comprises providing a ranking the selected plurality of items and related services, and receiving an order for at least one of the ranked selected plurality of items and at least one of the related services.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2001Publication date: August 29, 2002Inventors: Jeffrey W. Martin, Campbell Hawkins

Patent number: 6297579Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for actively controlling the shape of a sheet of electroactive material; the system comprising: one or more electrodes attached to the frontside of the electroactive sheet; a charged particle generator, disposed so as to direct a beam of charged particles (e.g. electrons) onto the electrode; a conductive substrate attached to the backside of the sheet; and a power supply electrically connected to the conductive substrate; whereby the sheet changes its shape in response to an electric field created across the sheet by an accumulation of electric charge within the electrode(s), relative to a potential applied to the conductive substrate. Use of multiple electrodes distributed across on the frontside ensures a uniform distribution of the charge with a single point of e-beam incidence, thereby greatly simplifying the beam scanning algorithm and raster control electronics, and reducing the problems associated with “blooming”.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Sandia National LaboratoriesInventors: Jeffrey W.
