Abstract: A support frame for supporting a blade on a machine is provided. The support frame includes a lower frame section including a first leg, a second leg and a transverse portion that extends between the first leg and the second leg. Each of the first and second legs has a respective end portion and the transverse portion carries a lower connecting element configured to connect to a blade. An upper frame section includes a first leg, a second leg and a transverse portion that extends between the first leg and the second leg, each of the first and second legs having a respective end portion. The end portions of the respective first legs of the lower frame section and the upper frame section are connected together and the respective transverse portions of the lower frame section and the upper frame section are spaced from each other.

Abstract: Packages and methods for storage and dispensing of materials, e.g., high purity liquid reagents and chemical mechanical polishing compositions used in the manufacture of microelectronic device products, including containment structures and methods adapted for pressure-dispensing of high-purity liquids. Liner packaging of liquid or liquid-containing media is described, in which zero or near-zero head space conformations are employed to minimize adverse effects of particle generation, formation of bubbles and degradation of contained material.

Abstract: Method and system for creating marketing campaigns using stand alone imaging techniques. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a method for providing custom processing of one or more images. The method includes a step for creating a plurality of different campaigns through an electronic interface. The electronic interface is coupled to a world wide network of computers. The method also includes a step for selecting one of the plurality of campaigns for a selected event associated with the one of the plurality of campaigns. Additionally, the method includes a step for capturing a digital image of a consumer entity using an image capturing device, such as a digital camera, for the selected campaign at the selected event. Moreover, the method includes a step for inputting information associated with the consumer entity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for increasing traffic on an electronic site, e.g., Web site. In particular, the method increases a quantity of users to an electronic on-line messaging site from off-line traffic. The method includes capturing user information from a public media transmitting device, which is coupled to a wide area network of computers. The method also outputs an address location to a user of the communication function through the public media transmitting device. The method also accesses the address location through one of the plurality of a computers. Accordingly, the present method increases on-line traffic using off-line traffic.

Abstract: A system for increasing traffic to an electronic messaging site, e.g., Web Site. The system has a plurality of computer devices, each of the computer devices is networked to each other over a network system. The system has a public media transmitting device, which includes an image capturing device. The image capturing device is adapted to capture an image of at least one user. The image capturing device is coupled to the network system; and an output device coupled to the public media transmitting device. The output device provides a hard copy of an image of the user and text information directed to a messaging site. The information can include, for example, an e-mail address, URL, etc.

Abstract: A public booth for transferring an image of a user over a wide area network of computers. The booth includes, among other features, an image capturing device (e.g., CCD camera), which is coupled to the housing. The image capturing device is adapted or directed toward a user to capture an image of the user. The apparatus also includes a processing device (e.g., computer, microprocessor), which is coupled to the image capturing device. In a specific embodiment, the processing device converts the captured image into a plurality of signals, e.g., digital or analog. The apparatus further includes a transmission device (e.g., modem, transmitter), which is coupled to the processing device. The transmission device is adapted to transmit the plurality of signals. Alternatively, the transmission device may receive a plurality of signals. A wide area network of computers is coupled to the transmission device to receive the plurality of signals.

Abstract: A computer program product for an interactive public kiosk including a processor for automatically forming a web page including an image of a user, includes a computer readable media. The computer readable media includes code that directs the processor to capture an image of the user, and code that directs the processor to modify the image according to a user selected theme to form a modified image. Code that directs the processor to determine a URL address for the web page is disclosed. The computer readable media also includes code that directs the processor to create a file in response to the user selected theme and the modified image, and code that directs the processor to upload the file to be located at the URL address to a server.
