Abstract: A device includes a substrate retainer for retaining a substrate thereon, and a ring assembly including an upper ring which has a plurality of upper ring segments that are angularly displaced from each other. Each of the upper ring segments is movable between an inner position and an outer position so as to adjust a gap between an outer periphery of the substrate and an inner edge of each of the upper ring segments when the substrate is retained on the substrate retainer.

Abstract: A method includes forming an inner chamber in a process chamber of a plasma processing apparatus, the inner chamber having smaller volume than the process chamber. At least one gas is introduced into the inner chamber, and flow of the at least one gas into the inner chamber is measured. The flow of the at least one gas is adjusted to a desired rate, and a wafer is processed by the at least one gas at the desired rate while the inner chamber is not formed.

Abstract: The present invention provides materials and methods useful to treat various sGC?1-expressing cancers. Materials include peptides which interfere with sGC?1's pro-survival functions, thereby resulting in apoptosis of sGC?1-expressing cells. In addition, the present invention provides screening assays, diagnostic assays, methods to prognose, methods to treat, and kits.

Abstract: A headrest assembly for a chair includes a headrest unit, two spaced-apart grip frame members respectively connected to two opposite ends of the headrest unit, and two spaced-apart connection frame members respectively connected to the grip frame members. The grip frame members gradually extend away from each other from the headrest unit to the connection frame members, respectively. Each of the grip frame members extends obliquely, rearwardly and downwardly from the headrest unit in a manner of being oblique to a first vertical plane that has opposite front and rear surfaces respectively facing front and rear sides of the chair.
