Abstract: An air scenting system for a vehicle is provided which includes an appliance and a replaceable cartridge installable therein. The replaceable cartridge contains a liquid compound to be aerosolized and has a cartridge outlet through which the aerosolized compound is discharged during operation. A pump is provided to supply air to the replaceable cartridge to generate the aerosolized compound from the liquid compound contained in the replaceable cartridge, and a controller is provided for controlling the pump to supply the air to the replaceable cartridge to generate and discharge the aerosolized compound from the appliance. The appliance is particularly adapted for dispensing scent into the interior space of a vehicle, and includes a form factor particularly well suited for positioning the appliance in a cup holder. Additionally, the appliance is designed for use in vehicles when a driver is present and readily adjustable by the driver to provide a uniform scent experience.

Abstract: A process system of performing a fabrication process on a wafer includes a wafer storage cassette, one or more process chambers, a transfer chamber having a body and a lid that detachably covers the body, and a locking pin. The transfer chamber also includes a robot hub, a robot arm attached to the robot hub, and a blade attached to the robot arm. The body of the transfer chamber is connected to the wafer storage cassette and the process chambers, and the robot arm is configured to transfer a wafer from the wafer storage cassette through the body of the transfer chamber to one or more of the process chambers. The locking pin is configured to detachably attach to the robot arm to constrain the blade at a predetermined position within the transfer chamber.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method and system for providing blends of virgin polyethylene terephthalate (VPET) and a VPET property modifying component (PCM). In one embodiment, separate sources of solid VPET and solid PMC are provided. A conduit is provided between the sources and a bulk-container, which is suitable for delivery to an end user. VPET from the source of VPET and PMC from the PMC source are selectively dispensed into the conduit in a desired amount to form a uniform blend of materials comprising a predetermined ratio of VPET relative to PMC. The blend of materials is transported to the bulk-container for delivery to an end user.
