  • Patent number: 10603756
    Abstract: A sculptured drum for a retread process that has an inner radial section with a central axis that extends in an axial direction. The sculptured drum has a plurality of support members that extend outward from a drum outer surface in a radial direction and that are located outward from the inner radial section in the radial direction. A tread that has a plurality of grooves is supported by the sculptured drum during a brushing process and pass across the sculptured drum such that some but not all of the grooves have one of the support members disposed therein. The support members when disposed within the grooves do not completely fill the grooves, and when disposed within the grooves engage a lower surface of the tread.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6597117
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a plasma coil, methods of making the same, a processing apparatus utilizing plasma processes and methods of manufacture are disclosed. In one aspect, a plasma coil is provided that includes a first conductor coil that has a plurality of turns. An innermost of the plurality of turns terminates to define a central void portion and an outermost of the plurality of turns defines a peripheral portion. A first conductor plate is positioned in the central void portion of and coupled in series to the first conductor coil. The conductor plate provides a more uniform and intense electrical field in order to retard residue formation on plasma chamber windows.
