  • Squat rack mountable dip exercising system
    Patent number: 11766590
    Abstract: A squat rack mountable dip exercising system includes a frame that is removably positionable on and extended between a first guard and a second guard wherein the first and second guards are engaged with and extend forwardly from a squat rack. A grip is attached to the frame and is configured to be graspable by a person performing a dip exercise.

  • Method for forming a conductive layer of material on an integrated circuit substrate
    Patent number: 5556506
    Abstract: In one embodiment a plasma ignitor (10) having a first dielectric housing (18), that encases a first portion of a first conductive lead (14) and a first portion of a second conductive lead (16), and end cap (30), that locks its filament (31) into position, is used to initiate a plasma within an etch chamber (64). The plasma is used to etch an integrated circuit substrate (62) and to form an etched surface (78). A conductive layer of material (80) is then deposited on the etched surface (78). The first dielectric housing (18) keeps the first portion of the first conductive lead (14) and the first portion of the second conductive lead (16) from shorting to one another during processing, and the end cap (30) prevents the filament (31) from falling off during processing. Thus, the present invention allows contact resistance to be repeatably minimized.
