Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is a work holding and clamping device, which increases the usable span to almost twice its stored length. This device has an inner and outer assembly. The inner and outer assemblies are nested or telescopic. Each assembly is made of a square or rectangular tube that has a jaw affixed to one end. The inner assembly contains a locking mechanism to allow for length adjustment. When arranged so that the jaws are on the same side of the respective assemblies, the clamp is capable of a span that is almost equal to the length of the inner assembly. When arranged so that the jaws are on opposite sides of the respective assemblies, the clamp is capable of a span that is almost equal to the sum of the length of the inner assembly and outer assembly.

Abstract: The present inventive concept is related to methods for passivating an oxide layer and methods of selectively depositing a metal, metal nitride, metal oxide, or metal silicide layer on a metal, metal oxide, or silicide layer over an oxide layer including exposing the oxide layer to a passivant that selectively binds to the oxide layer over the metal, metal oxide, or silicide layer, and selectively growing the metal, metal nitride, metal oxide or metal silicide layer on the metal, metal oxide or silicide layer.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present application are directed to automatic adjustment and sharing of content. In one example, a distributed storage service may access content and automatically execute recognition processing for the content. The distributed storage service may automatically execute a clean-up operation on the content based on a result of execution of the recognition processing. A version of the cleaned-up content may be automatically transmitted to a distributed storage associated with a user account of the distributed storage service. As the distributed storage service is executing automatic operations on behalf of a user, the distributed storage service automatically generates a push notification indicating that the content is cleaned-up and ready to be shared with other user accounts of the distributed storage service. In some examples, the push notification may comprise the cleaned-up content. The push notification may be displayed on a client computing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to photoresist compositions comprising a base resin such as a monomer capable of radical polymerization upon photoinitiation, and photoinitiator molecules such as a diketone, and multicolor photolithography methods. Photoresist compositions comprise photoinitiator molecules that are exposed to a first radiation source, thereby exciting the photoinitiator molecules from a ground state to a pre-activated state. The pre-activated state molecules are then exposed to a second radiation source in selected locations, thereby deactivating the pre-activated state molecules in the selected locations. Any remaining pre-activated state molecules are exposed to a third radiation source, exciting such remaining pre-activated state photoinitiator molecules to an activated state. Polymerization of the base resin is then initiated.

Abstract: Methods of the disclosure include a BN ALD process at low temperatures using a reactive nitrogen precursor, such as thermal N2H4, and a boron containing precursor, which allows for the deposition of ultra thin (less than 5 nm) films with precise thickness and composition control. Methods are self-limiting and provide saturating atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a boron nitride (BN) layer on various semiconductors and metallic substrates.

Abstract: A suture anchor device and method for attaching soft tissue to bone includes an anchor body and a suture locking wedge movably disposed within the anchor body. The suture locking wedge includes lateral portions which engage slots or windows in the anchor body. Tension applied to one limb of a suture causes the suture locking wedge to translate and rotate to a position which compresses the suture, thereby locking the suture in the anchor.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a knotless suture anchoring system for anchoring a suture with respect to a body cavity, including a bone anchor body with at least one rigid anchoring structure to secure the anchor body within the body cavity. The anchor body has a longitudinal bore and cross-pin extending across the bore. A retention member is coupled to the anchor body with a break notch therebetween, which may selectively fracture to separate the body from the retention member. Additionally there is a suture cutout on the retention member and a relief feature positioned along the break notch and approximately diametrically opposed from the suture cutout, the relief feature acting to alter the force dissipation along the break notch during the separation of the retention member from the anchor body.

Abstract: A suture anchor device and method for attaching soft tissue to bone includes an anchor body and a suture locking wedge movably disposed within the anchor body. Tension applied to one side of a suture causes the suture locking wedge to translate and rotate into a position which compresses the suture, thereby locking the suture in the anchor. A resilient or spring biasing member within the anchor device urges the suture locking wedge to compress the suture, facilitating suture locking.

Abstract: A suture anchor device and method for attaching soft tissue to bone includes an anchor body and a suture locking wedge movably disposed within the anchor body. Tension applied to one side of a suture causes the suture locking wedge to move in a translational and angular dimension to a position which compresses the suture, thereby locking the suture in the anchor. The anchor body includes tracks or slots which guide the suture locking wedge from the unlocked open configuration to the locked configuration.

Abstract: A suture anchor apparatus and method for anchoring a length of suture with respect to a target tissue has an anchor body with an anchoring structure for fixing the anchor body within the target tissue and a suture locking member. The moveable suture locking member is disposed at least partially within an anchor body lumen while a portion of the length of suture is looped around the suture locking member such that a first and second limb of suture exits the lumen. A suture locking member includes at least two elongate arms, and each arm has an extension dimension respectively, such that the first arm extension dimension is substantially greater than the second arm extension dimension.
