Publication number: 20210353968Abstract: An acoustic technique designed to increase the gas-dissolution rate of a bubble in a liquid media is proposed. Increased gas-dissolution rate is achieved by increasing the bubble's surface-to-volume ratio via bubble fragmentation. This is achieved by attaching an electroacoustic transducer to the system or load in which bubbles travel and exciting the transducer at the frequency of resonance. The electric resonance of the transducer attached to the system corresponds in frequency to the mechanical resonance of the system or load which allows for achieving such state without the use of an internally placed hydrophone to certify the resonance state. The acoustic bubble fragmentation technique increased the dissolution rate 4 to 5 times of bubbles with initial diameters between 150 and 550 ?m in distilled water and in medical grade saline solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Silvina Cancelos, Manuel Rivera Bengochea, Edwin Lopez Ramos, William Garcia

Patent number: 9929026Abstract: Novel methods, systems, and apparatuses for reclaiming annealing gases from a high pressure annealing processing system are disclosed. According to an embodiment, the exhaust gasses from the high pressure annealing processing system are directed into a gas reclaiming system only when a precious gas, e.g., deuterium is used. The annealing gas is the separated from other gasses used in the high pressure annealing processing system and is then pressurized, filtered, and purified prior to transferring the gas to a bulk storage distribution unit. In one embodiment, the reclaimed gas is then again provided to the high pressure annealing processing system to anneal the wafers.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: HPSP CO., LTD.Inventors: Manuel Rivera, Biao Wu

Publication number: 20170268694Abstract: A clear injection valve for monitoring flow rate and clogging utilizes a flow section, an injector section, and a compression nut. The compression nut is used to fasten a chemical tubing system against the flow section. A first set of threads and a second set of threads are used to removably attach the compression nut onto a neck portion of the flow section. The flow section, which is made of transparent material, is in fluid communication with the injector section allowing fluids or other comparable matter to pass through the flow section and the injector section. In doing so, a flow channel of the flow section and an injector channel of the injector section are used. A distal opening of the injector section is used as the exit point for fluids or comparable matter. Preferably, the distal opening is connected to a plumbing system with a set of pipe-engaging threads.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Inventor: Angel Manuel Rivera

Publication number: 20060023573Abstract: An optical drive reads information from an optical medium by measuring the reflectivity of the optical medium to determine the type of optical medium, setting read parameters associated with the determined type and attempting to read identification information from the optical medium to verify the optical medium type. If the identification information verifies the type of optical medium as determined by the measured reflectivity, the optical drive reads information with the read parameters. If the identification information is not readable or fails to verify the measured optical medium type, an alternative optical medium type read parameters are used to read the identification information. If the alternative optical medium type matches the identification information optical medium type, read parameters associated with the alternative optical medium type are used to read information from the optical medium and the user is provided a warning that the optical medium has substandard quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2004Publication date: February 2, 2006Inventors: Manuel Rivera, David Pereira
