Publication number: 20240076797Abstract: A susceptor assembly for supporting a crucible during a crystal growth process includes a susceptor base, a tubular sidewall connected to the susceptor base, and a removable sacrifice ring interposed between the susceptor base and the sidewall. Each of the susceptor base and the sidewall is formed of a carbon-containing material. The susceptor base has an annular wall and a shoulder extending radially outward from an outer surface of the annular wall. The sidewall has a first end that receives the annular wall to connect the sidewall to the susceptor base. The sacrifice ring has a first surface that faces the outer surface of the annular wall, a second surface that faces an interior surface of the sidewall, and a ledge extending outward from the second surface that engages the first end of the sidewall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Hong-Huei Huang, Benjamin Michael Meyer, Chun-Sheng Wu, Wei-Chen Chou, Chen-Yi Lin, Feng-Chien Tsai

Patent number: 11887033Abstract: Disclosed are non-limiting examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for dynamically configuring a process associated with an application based on environmental characteristics monitored by a mobile device. In some implementations, the process includes stages and decision nodes. There is a configurable flow along a path defined by a subset of the stages controlled by a subset of the decision nodes. Contextual data is provided by the mobile device on which the application is usable. The contextual data indicates one or more environmental characteristics associated with a physical environment in which the mobile device is or has been located. The contextual data can be provided as a control input to a decision node associated with a current stage of the process. The process can be configured accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Adrian Dieter Rapp, Qingqing Liu, Michael Chou

Publication number: 20220289456Abstract: A portable container for keeping medicine in a temperature controlled environment by means of an insulating layer of vacuum in the walls and cap of the container. The container has a cap or closure that is not only vacuum insulated but is designed to be very easily removed in an emergency. Inside the container is foam cushioning that serves as a crumple zone to protect the medicine in the event the container is dropped or otherwise sustains an impact. The container also contains a thermometer which can be used to determine that the medicine has not been subjected to any extreme temperatures outside the range of tolerance for the medicine. Inside the walls of the container where there is insulating vacuum, there is structure to keep the container from deforming.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventor: Michael Chou
