Publication number: 20070059460Abstract: A method of fabricating a component for a substrate processing chamber involves providing a preform having internal and external surfaces, and providing a mandrel having a textured surface with a pattern of textured features comprising protrusions and depressions. The internal surface of the preform component is contacted with the textured surface of mandrel, and a pressure is applied to the external surface of the preform. The pressure is sufficiently high to plastically deform the preform over the textured surface of the mandrel to form a component having a textured internal surface comprising the pattern of textured feature that are shaped and sized to adhere process residues generated in the processing of substrates.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2005Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventors: Stephen Abney, Anthony Vesci, Joseph Sommers, Marc Schweitzer, Scott Dickerson, Jennifer Tiller

Patent number: 6792605Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for accessing and using services and applications from a number of sources into a customized application. The present invention accomplishes this through an entity referred to as a web service. The web services architecture maintains a directory of services available to provide processing or services, along with the location of the services and the input/output schemas required by the services. When a request for data or services is received, appropriate services are invoked by a web services engine using service drivers associated with each service. A web services application is then generated from a runtime model and is invoked to satisfy the request, by communicating as necessary with services in proper I/O formats. In one embodiment, the web services application provides responses in the form of HTML that can be used to generate pages to a browser.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1999Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Bow Street Software, Inc.Inventors: Andrew F. Roberts, Jonathan W. Booth, Michael R. Burati, Thomas E. Beauvais, John T. Serfass, Jr., Joseph Sommers, III
