Abstract: A tool includes a hammered shaping device having a first working surface and a thickness measured in a direction perpendicular to said first working surface. The first working surface has a length and a width. The length is about equal to a length of a hinge leaf. The width is about equal to a width of the hinge leaf. The thickness is at least two times a thickness of the hinge leaf. The hammered shaping device is fabricated of a material that can be hammered without substantial permanent deformation. The hammered shaping device can have a gauge. The hammered shaping device can have countersunk holes to facilitate connection to a door or door frame hinge reinforcement plate.

Abstract: A control interface is disclosed that includes a display screen, a touch screen disposed on the display screen, a processor electrically connected to the display and the touch screen, and a bezel disposed over the touch screen. The bezel preferably includes a plurality of buttons and a plug. The plug preferably projects from the bezel and contacts a socket connected to a processor, thereby communicating information via the socket to the processor regarding the bezel.

Abstract: A control interface is disclosed that includes a display screen, a touch screen disposed on the display screen, a processor and memory electrically connected to the display and the touch screen, and a bezel, which is of a particular type, disposed over the touch screen. The processor may be configured according to any one or more different types of bezels.

Abstract: A control interface is disclosed that includes a display screen, a touch screen disposed on the display screen, a processor and a memory electrically connected to the display and the touch screen, and a bezel disposed over the touch screen. The bezel preferably includes a frame and a button disposed on the frame. The frame is preferably disposed over the touch screen such that at least part of the frame is disposed outside the perimeter of the touch screen. The button includes a touch pad, touch screen contact point and a lateral extension connecting the touch pad and contact point. Preferably, the button is positioned at least partially outside the perimeter of the touch screen such that pressing the button causes the contact point to contact the touch screen.

Abstract: Hydroscopic polymer gels can be formed by applying a polymer to a surface and allowing water to be sequestered from the atmosphere into the polymer. The polymer gels are formed using methods and compositions employing water soluble or water dispersible copolymers having: (i) a first monomer that is acidic and is capable of forming an anionic charge in the composition; (ii) a second monomer that is amphipathic; (iii) optionally, a third monomer that is hydrophobic; and (iv) optionally, a fourth monomer that that has a permanent cationic charge or that is capable of forming a cationic charge on protonation. The polymer gels are particularly substantive and effective at modifying surfaces such as glass and hydrophobic polymeric substrates to provide soap scum and soil resistance, and easier next time cleaning benefits.

Abstract: A method for shaping and/or encapsulating near-edge regions of a substrate wafer is described. A housing provides channels for flowing a reactive gas towards the wafer edge. The reactive gas is directed towards the wafer edge for removing or depositing a thin film on the wafer edge. Gasses are exhausted downstream from the flow of the reactive gas. A second channel in the housing directs a flow of diluent/quenching gas onto the wafer for exhausting of the diluent/quenching gas and the reactive gas away from the wafer. The method may also provide a sequence of process steps, for example, selectively etching of a material on the wafer, etching of second material on the wafer and depositing an encapsulating material layer on the wafer.

Abstract: An advanced cleaning system comprising cleaning compositions, pads, and implements provide effective cleaning of soft and hard surfaces. The system includes (a) a handle portion, the handle portion having a proximal end and a distal end, (b) a cleaning head portion that is attached to the distal end of the handle portion and that is adapted for use with a removable cleaning pad; (c) a cradle that is secured to the handle portion, and (d) a detachable cleaning aerosol reservoir for delivering cleaning fluid onto the surface to be cleaned adjacent the cleaning head portion, wherein the reservoir is positioned within the cradle.

Abstract: A method of optically detecting a change in intensity of an emission peak in a plasma process, such as a plasma etching process, by reflecting an emission spectrum of radiation from the plasma reaction off of a pair of rugate filters. The reflected emission spectrum has increased in-band reflections and decreased out-of-band reflections which provides reduced noise and an easier-to-detect emission peak. The method can be used for end-point detection in a plasma etching process such as etching of SiO.sub.2.

Abstract: A pellet for an air gun or the like is provided having a head portion made of metal or metal containing plastics material and a shank extending rearwardly of the head portion, and a skirt portion secured to the head portion by the shank, said skirt portion having at least two sections which are larger in diameter than the head portion and being made of substantially elastic plastics material, for slidably engaging a gun barrel bore surface. The head portion provides weight for the skirt portion during flight. Preferably the skirt portion is made from plastics material with a low coefficient of friction and sufficient elasticity to regain its shape after deformation, such as P.T.F.E.
