  • Publication number: 20150193635
    Abstract: Techniques for in-app user data authorization are described. An apparatus may comprise a processor circuit, a permissions component, and a token component. The permissions component may be operative on the processor circuit to receive a request from an application to perform a task on a device and to return a response to the request to the application based on active permissions for the application. The token component may be operative on the processor circuit to manage a token database and to determine the active permissions for the application based on the token database. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 6550158
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing particles in reactors. The apparatus includes an enclosure with a wafer handling chamber connected by an isolation gate valve to a processing chamber. Pipes deliver purge gas into the wafer handling chamber to eliminate particles from the enclosure. A pilot operated back pressure regulator regulates the delivery and removal of the purge gas. The apparatus actuates the isolation gate valve in a controlled rate to reduce disturbances from the purge gas entering into the enclosure. A Bernoulli wand is provided for lifting and holding a single semiconductor wafer. A dome loaded regulator actuated by a pilot gas is used to control the ramp rates of gas to the Bernoulli wand. The ramping rates of the Bernoulli wand gas can be controlled by restrictions and check valves in the pilot gas line. The apparatus also utilizes ionizers in the purge gas lines entering the wafer handling chamber and load locks.

  • Patent number: 6187546
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of isolating cells from a faecal stool, the method comprising the steps of a) cooling the stool to a temperature below its gel freezing point, and b) removing cells from the stool whilst maintaining the stool at a temperature below its gel freezing point such that the stool remains substantially intact. The invention further provides methods of purifying cells comprising use of immunomagnetic beads and/or boric acid. Cells isolated according to the invention may be used in diagnostic tests and assay procedures for monitoring a biological or biochemical property of tissue.
