  • Publication number: 20200033295
    Abstract: A device for determining the partial pressure or concentration of a vapor in a volume includes a sensor element that can be caused to oscillate and temperature-controlled to a temperature below the condensation temperature of the vapor. The sensor element has an oscillation frequency that is influenced by a mass accumulation formed by condensed vapor on the sensor surface thereof. The rear side of the sensor element pointing away from the sensor surface contacts a thermal transfer surface of a thermal transfer element. The thermal transfer element is formed from an electrically heatable heating element that is connected to a cooling element in a thermally conductive manner by a thermal dissipation surface, which is different from the thermal transfer surface. The thermal transfer surface extends substantially parallel to the thermal dissipation surface.

  • Patent number: 10501847
    Abstract: In a device and a method for generating vapor in a CVD or PVD device, particles are vaporized by bringing the particles into contact with a first heat transfer surface of a vaporization device. The vapor generated by vaporizing the particles is transported by a carrier gas out of the vaporization device and into a single or multistage modulation device. In a vapor transfer phase, second heat transfer surfaces of the modulation device are adjusted to a first modulation temperature, at which the vapor passes through the modulation device without condensing on the second heat transfer surfaces. At an intermission phase, the second heat transfer surfaces are adjusted to a second modulation temperature, at which at least some of the vapor condenses on the second heat transfer surfaces.

  • Patent number: 10472718
    Abstract: A device and a method for depositing organic layers onto a substrate includes a process gas source with a temperature-controlled evaporator, and a carrier gas supply line which opens into the evaporator in order to supply a carrier gas flow into a temperature-controlled first transport line. A first dilution gas supply line, which opens into the first transport line, supplies a dilution gas flow into the first transport line. The device also comprises a temperature-controlled gas inlet element fluidly connected to the first transport line. A gaseous starting material can be supplied into a processing chamber via the gas inlet element. A substrate is disposed on a temperature-controlled susceptor located in the processing chamber, and a layer is grown on the substrate using the gaseous starting material.

  • Publication number: 20190299446
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle with an elongated gripping portion at a first end. A cartridge interconnector at a second end of the elongated gripping portion has a platform with an upper surface and an opposing lower surface that defines an included angle of about 35 degrees to about 60 degrees. A distal end of the cartridge interconnector extends from the platform. The distal end has a skin facing surface with a pair of side walls connected by a pair of curved lateral end walls.

  • Publication number: 20190299472
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle includes a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head that extends between an upper end and a lower end. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a first vertical height. The rear wall includes a second vertical height. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position. The first vertical height is less than the second vertical height.
