  • Publication number: 20140255556
    Abstract: A shelf-stable snack and method for making the same. First a dough is mixed and sheeted to form a sheeted dough. Thereafter, the sheeted dough is cut to form at least one dough piece. Sauce is sprayed upon the dough piece with a textural sprayer. The dough has a moisture content of between about 30 and about 45% by weight and has an average particle size of between 100-500 microns. Then the dough piece is dried to a moisture content of less than 3%.

  • Patent number: 6701277
    Abstract: A system of sensing elevator car position is presented that dynamically compensates for problems due to frictional slippage of its mechanical connection and/or building settlement. The system comprises an elevator car within an elevator hoistway. An encoder is mounted within the elevator hoistway and mechanically connected to the elevator car. The mechanical connection drives the encoder which generates data indicative of the position of the elevator car. Either one of a position sensor and a position sensor actuator is mounted to a landing of the hoistway. The other one of the position sensor and position sensor actuator is mounted to the elevator car. The position sensor generates data indicative of the elevator car floor reaching a predetermined distance from the elevator landing when actuated by the position sensor actuator. An elevator position controller receives the data generated by both the position sensor and the encoder.

  • Publication number: 20020072164
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, an integral lid assembly (10) for sealing a substrate processing chamber includes first (16) and third (12) plates fixedly fused to a second plate (14) positioned therebetween. The first and second plates define a coolant passage (110) or channel therein, and the second and third plates define a gas delivery channel(s) (146, 148) therein. The first plate has a substantially planar surface for coupling to a processing chamber, and the third plate has a substantially planar surface for coupling to a microwave generation device or a remote plasma clean device (106). In this manner, the lid assembly is compact in size, and facilitates the mounting of a microwave device closer to the chamber than for bulkier lid assemblies. In another embodiment, gas passages (232) through the brazed lid assembly (200) are coupled to the processing chamber (310), and are configured to provide the desired gas distribution thereto for exemplary processes.

  • Patent number: 6375748
    Abstract: A substrate support having a removable edge ring, which is made of a material having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), than that of the substrate support is provided. The edge ring and the substrate support are configured for pin and slot coupling. Specifically, either the edge ring, or the substrate support comprises a plurality of pins, and the other of the edge ring or the substrate support comprises a plurality of hollow regions or slots in which the pins may be inserted. The slots are at least as wide as a corresponding one of the plurality of pins and extend in the direction in which the substrate support expands and contracts during thermal cycling. Each of the slots extends a length which is sufficient to compensate for the difference between the CTE of the substrate support and the CTE of the edge ring, over the range of process temperatures to which the apparatus is exposed. Preferably the susceptor is made of aluminum, and the edge ring is made of ceramic.
