Abstract: The present invention relates to cylinder packages utilized in the delivery of highly toxic and/or flammable compounds to semiconductor manufacturers. More specifically, the present invention provides a cartridge adapted to removably attach to the gas outlet of a gas discharge passageway in a cylinder valve provided on a toxic gas containing cylinder package, the cartridge comprising a cylindrically shaped housing having at least one end fitted with a barrier member permeable to the toxic gas contained within the cylinder package and the housing containing a toxic-gas getter material.

Abstract: Energy devices such as energy conversion devices and energy storage devices and methods for the manufacture of such devices. The devices include a support member having an array of pore channels having a small average pore channel diameter and having a pore channel length. Material layers that may include energy conversion materials and conductive materials are coaxially disposed within the pore channels to form material rods having a relatively small cross-section and a relatively long length. By varying the structure of the materials in the pore channels, various energy devices can be fabricated, such as photovoltaic (PV) devices, radiation detectors, capacitors, batteries and the like.
