  • Patent number: 9818452
    Abstract: A hard disk drive carrier assembly includes a back panel, and a connection mechanism in physical communication with the back panel of the hard disk drive carrier assembly along a first surface of the connection mechanism. The connection mechanism includes guide pin extending away from a second surface of the connection mechanism. The guide pin to align the hard disk drive carrier assembly with a mid-plane module of an information handling system when the hard disk drive carrier assembly is inserted into a bay of the information handling system. A screw is in physical communication with the connection module to mount the connection mechanism onto the back panel. The screw includes a post, and is inserted through a hole in the connection mechanism and is connected to the back panel. A first diameter of the post is smaller than a second diameter of the hole.

  • Patent number: 9394487
    Abstract: A multi-stage process and system for converting solid particulate biomass in a riser reactor having at least two different reaction zones. A lower reaction zone is configured to optimize pyrolysis of the biomass into pyrolysis products, while an upper reaction zone is configured to efficiently crack the pyrolysis products. The relative residence times and/or temperatures of the upper and lower reaction zones can be controlled to optimize product quality and yield.

  • Patent number: 9110020
    Abstract: A local purging tool for purging a portion of a surface of a wafer with purging gas is disclosed. The purging tool includes a purging chamber configured to contain purging gas within a cavity of the purging chamber, a permeable portion of a surface of the purging chamber configured to diffuse purging gas from the cavity of the chamber to a portion of a surface of a wafer, and an aperture configured to transmit illumination received from an illumination source to a measurement location of the portion of the surface of the wafer and further configured to transmit illumination reflected from the measurement location to a detector.
