Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing of electrical or physical properties of a material include a single coil sensor mounted adjacent to a sample of the material. Sheet conductance of a wide variety of materials may be measured using the single coil to determine if the material conforms to generally accepted standards for the use to which the material will be put. In some examples, the material is a semiconductor wafer or flat panel. In other examples, the material is the body tissue of a patient. A non-invasive technique using the apparatus is also disclosed for monitoring the health of patient tissue such as musculature, and/or to determine whether healthy circulation is present, by measuring the conductance of the patient tissue in response to a magnetic field applied by the single coil. The single coil may be hand held, or it may be movable using an automated positioning system under computer control.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for contactless measurement of sheet charge density and mobility includes a microwave source (16), a circular waveguide (50) for transmitting microwave power to a sample (59), such as a semiconductor wafer or panel for flat panel displays, at a measurement location, a first detector (18) for detecting the forward microwave power, a second detector (23) for detecting the microwave power reflected from the sample, and a third detector (95) for detecting the Hall effect power. An automatic positioning subsystem (700) is also provided for allowing automatic positioning of a wafer (59) within the test apparatus (10). The positioning system (700) includes a first end effector (706) and a rotator-lifter (704).

Abstract: An apparatus for contactless measurement of sheet charge density and mobility includes a microwave source, waveguide, first, second and third detectors, and an eccentric bore mount for adjusting the sample. A circular waveguide, carrying the TE11 mode, terminates by the sample behind which a short is located. A magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the sample, and an incident TE11 wave causes an ordinary reflected wave and a reflected wave caused by the Hall effect. A first detector measures the ordinary reflected wave, which has the same polarization as the incident wave. A seperate probe measures the reflected wave caused by the Hall effect, whose polarization is perpendicular to the former. This reflected wave is detected, and the output combined with an attenuated; phase shifted, portion of the forward power at a single detector, to eliminate by destructive interference any spurious incident signal at said detector.
