The tanning ledge insert may include a vertical wall and a tanning ledge extending horizontally from the vertical wall. A step may be disposed adjacent the tanning ledge's upper surface. The tanning ledge insert may include a connection lip that is dimensioned for use in securing the tanning ledge insert in place within the structure of a vinyl liner pool. Methods of installing and replacing the tanning ledge insert are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of liners for use in a process chamber are provided herein. In some embodiments, a liner for use in a process chamber includes an upper liner having a top plate with a central opening and a tubular body extending downward from an outer peripheral portion of the top plate, wherein the top plate has a contoured inner surface having a first step with a first inner diameter and a second step with a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter, and wherein the tubular body has an opening for transferring a substrate therethrough; and a lower liner abutting a bottom surface of the tubular body, wherein the lower liner extends radially inward from the tubular body and includes a plurality of radial slots arranged around the lower liner, wherein the upper liner and the lower liner form a C-shaped cross-section.

Abstract: An antenna or radiating element that is constructed of materials allowing for survivability of fire, high temperature, corrosive environments, or any combination of the aforementioned. Antennas are capable of operating for an extended period of time in a high temperature environment with the use of a radome having one or more surfaces covered in one or more of the following surface elements: a polyester film, a moldable plastic film, a boPET product, a ceramifiable silicone rubber material and a ceramic fiber wrap material. The surface elements can be used to construct a portion of the structural components of the antenna.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of processing a substrate in an etch process chamber includes: pulsing RF power from an RF bias power supply to a lower electrode disposed in a substrate support of the etch process chamber at a first frequency of about 200 kHz to about 700 kHz over a first period to create a plasma in a process volume of the etch process chamber, wherein a conductance liner surrounds the process volume to provide a ground path for an upper electrode of the etch process chamber; and pulsing RF power from the RF bias power supply to the lower electrode at a second frequency of about 2 MHz to about 13.56 MHz over the first period.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for confining plasma in a process chamber. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a first liner with a first set of openings, the first liner configured to surround a substrate support when installed and a second liner with a second set of openings, the second liner configured to surround the substrate support under the first liner when installed, wherein the first set of openings and the second set of openings are configured to be offset from each other when installed in the process chamber to prevent a line-of-sight through the first liner and the second liner from a top down viewpoint, and wherein the first liner and the second liner are configured to be spaced apart vertically when installed in the process chamber to allow high fluid conductance through the first set of openings and the second set of openings.

Abstract: Compressed gas dispensing methods using cascade dispensing from a first plurality of storage vessels and a second plurality of storage vessels. A compressor is used to provide very high pressure compressed gas for the second plurality of pressure storage vessels. Various methods are described for different sources of the compressed gas. The methods are particularly suitable for dispensing hydrogen into storage vessels in vehicles.

Abstract: Testing apparatus and method for testing compressed gas dispensing stations where a back pressure regulator is used to imitate filling of receiving vessels without the need for receiving vessels. A mass flow sensor measures the mass of compressed gas dispensed to the testing apparatus, and a controller calculates the pressure for the back pressure regulator to imitate filling of a receiving vessel.

Abstract: Method of operating a hydrogen dispensing where pressure relief is provided through block and bleed valves. After dispensing hydrogen from a dispensing station where the hydrogen is cooled during dispensing, trapped hydrogen remains in the transfer lines. During the idle time between refueling vehicles, the temperature of the trapped hydrogen increases resulting in an increase in the pressure of the trapped hydrogen. Block and bleed valves operate to relieve the pressure in the transfer lines.
