Abstract: A method includes depositing a first epitaxial layer of an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) material onto a preliminary substrate and polishing the first layer's surface. Ions are implanted beneath the surface, which is bonded to a seed insulating substrate. Annealing is performed, resulting in second epitaxial layer on preliminary substrate and third epitaxial layer on seed insulating substrate. Third layer's surface is polished to obtain a seed wafer. In some implementations, a fourth epitaxial layer of a second AlGaN material is deposited onto surface of third layer. Fourth layer's surface is polished, and ions are implanted beneath the surface, which is bonded to a product insulating substrate. Annealing is performed, resulting in fifth epitaxial layer on seed insulating substrate and sixth epitaxial layer on product insulating substrate. The sixth layer can be used to obtain an AlGaN product, and the fifth layer can be reused to fabricate additional AlGaN products.

Abstract: Among other things, product data is repeatedly communicated from an application on a device associated with a retail location to a server of a platform controlled independently of the application on the device. The product data identifies (a) current numbers of units of products available for retail customers at the retail location and (b) purchasing behavior of retail customers of the retail location with respect to combinations of the products. The retail location is repeatedly restocked with additional units of products to maintain the products in an in-stock state, the additional units have been received in deliveries made from one or more upstream product distribution entities based on predictions facilitated by the server of future demand for the products by retail customers of the retail location.

Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing defining a shell, a drug delivery assembly at least partially disposed within the housing, a cap defining an opening and being adapted to at least partially cover an end of the housing, at least one electronic component, a power source which powers the at least one electronic component, and a switch assembly. The drug delivery assembly comprises a guard which engages an inner surface of the housing and is movable between a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to the housing and is adapted to restrict external contact with a cannula. The switch assembly causes the power source to provide power to the at least one electronic component when the cap is removed from the housing, restrict the power source from providing power when the cap is coupled to the housing and the guard is in the first position, and cause the power source to provide power when the cap is coupled to the housing and the guard is in the third position.

Abstract: An apparatus for connecting items, even with irregular surfaces, to each other while maintaining a minimum distance between the items. The apparatus can have a suction cup comprising a cup body, a sealing edge, an internal surface, an external surface, a fluid pathway extending from an interior of the cup body to the exterior of the cup body, and a plurality of cleats positioned on the internal surface of the cup body extending radially inward from proximate the sealing edge. The thickness of each cleat increases distal to the sealing edge. When air is pumped out of the cup body to allow it to seal to a surface, the cleats create a desirable fluid flow profile allowing for a tighter and more efficacious seal.
