Abstract: A plasma processing chamber for depositing a film on an underside surface of a wafer, includes showerhead pedestal. The showerhead pedestal includes a first zone and a second zone. An upper separator fin is disposed over a top surface of the showerhead pedestal and a lower separator fin is disposed under the top surface of the showerhead pedestal and aligned with the upper separator fin. The first zone is configured for depositing a first film to the underside surface of the wafer and the second zone is configured for depositing a second film to the underside surface of the wafer. In another embodiment, a top surface of the showerhead pedestal may be configured to receive a masking plate instead of the upper separator fin. The masking plate is configured with a first area that has openings and a second area that is masked. The first areas is used to provide the process gas to a portion of the underside surface of the wafer for depositing a film.

Abstract: To reduce the expense associated with having experts work at remote hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environment site, such experts may use a virtual real time operation center to obtain information from and give instructions to the remote site. Such a virtual operation center may receive information from the site from a variety of different machines such as equipment pieces, controllers, or human machine interface personal computers.

Abstract: To reduce costs and improve efficiency: of one or more operations associated with a hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation or services site, a control system utilizes one or more sensors to obtain real-time data associated with one or more pieces of equipment at one or more sites, utilizes one or more audio-visual devices to provide one or more notifications based, at least in part, on the real-time data, utilizes one or more control devices to produce one or more commands based, at least in part, on the one or more notifications, and utilizes a network, system to provide the one or more commands to one or more pieces; of equipment at the one or more sites to control the one or more pieces of equipment Farther, a method is presented for collecting real-time data, providing notifications from an audiovisual device based, at least in part, on the on-site data associated with one or snore pieces of equipment at one or more sites, generating a command from, a control device, providing the command to one or

Abstract: A virtual presence may be established to provide engagement with equipment and operators at a hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments in order to reduce the expense associated with having knowledge experts, or other personnel, travel to and work at remote hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments. For example, a wearable device may allow a user, such as a subject matter expert, at a virtual real time operation center to view data from equipment located at the site.

Abstract: A cementing system having an engine control module, a transmission control module, a computing device and a display. The engine control module communicatively coupled with a plurality of engine sensors. The transmission control module communicatively coupled with a plurality of transmission sensor. The computing device is communicatively coupled with the display and communicatively coupled, via at least one J1939 data link, with the engine control module and the transmission control module. The computing device is configured to receive data from at least one of an engine control module or a transmission control module, compare the received data to a list of stored codes and in response to the received data matching a stored code, causing the rendering of an alarm message associated with the matched code and/or a warning message associated with the matched code on the display.

Abstract: A system and method for blasting an overhead surface is disclosed herein. The blaster system can comprise a first enclosure, a second enclosure, a pair of recirculators, a pair of loader valves, and a pair of propeller assemblies. The first enclosure can comprise a pair of primary ports, and a pair of control cages. The pair of primary ports can be at the front surface of the first enclosure. The primary ports can receive abrasive material. The pair of control cages can be attached at the bottom surface of the first enclosure forming a pair of curved surfaces, and a plurality of gaps. Each of the curved surface can comprise a slot. Each end of the slot can rest within each of the gaps such that the abrasive material received within the first enclosure can collect within the gaps and falls into the slot.

Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device to allow a user to navigate a video. The method includes causing a display of a currently selected thumbnail in a first rectangular area overlaying a bidirectionally scrollable strip of thumbnails in a second rectangular area having the plurality of thumbnails logically arranged in order according to their associated time positions and responsive to data reflecting a swipe gesture in a direction, causing an update to the display of the bidirectionally scrollable strip of thumbnails to reflect inertial scrolling in the direction, where the currently selected thumbnail in the first rectangular area is updated each time the bidirectionally scrollable strip of thumbnails has scrolled past a threshold such that the currently selected thumbnail in the bidirectionally scrollable strip of thumbnails is no longer closest to the center of the first rectangular area.

Abstract: A system for treating emissions from a vehicle includes an ozone generator, a first holding tank, and an exhaust vent. The first holding tank is downstream from the ozone generator and defines a volume for liquid waste beneath a void space. The exhaust vent is downstream from the first holding tank and outside of the vehicle. A supply conduit connects the ozone generator to the void space of the first holding tank. An exhaust conduit connects the void space of the first holding tank to the exhaust vent. The ozone generator, supply conduit, void space of the first holding tank, exhaust conduit, and exhaust vent establish a thermal driving head from the ozone generator through the void space of the first holding tank to the exhaust vent.
