Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly including an elongated tubular heat exchanger enclosure defining an interior chamber. A tube sheet is positioned within the interior chamber of the heat exchanger enclosure separating the interior chamber into a shell side and a channel side. The interior portion is configured to removably receive a tube bundle positioned within the shell side of the interior chamber. An annular sleeve member is positioned within the channel side of the interior chamber of the heat exchanger enclosure. An annular elastic torsion member is positioned within the channel side of the interior chamber of the heat exchanger such that the sleeve member is positioned between the tube sheet and the elastic torsion member. The elastic torsion member has an inner circumference deflectable relative to its outer circumference for torsioning the elastic torsion member.

Abstract: A control system for a double-acting air cylinder of an agricultural implement includes a valve assembly configured to control a base end air pressure and a rod end air pressure of the double-acting air cylinder. The control system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the valve assembly. The controller is configured to determine a target base end air pressure and a target rod end air pressure based on a target force of the double-acting air cylinder and a target damping factor of the double-acting air cylinder. The controller is also configured to control the valve assembly such that a first difference between the base end air pressure and the target base end air pressure is less than a first threshold value and a second difference between the rod end air pressure and the target rod end air pressure is less than a second threshold value.

Abstract: A speaker control system, including a speaker matrix, including a de-multiplexer including one or more audio control relays, a control unit operatively arranged to set the state of the one or more audio control relays, and determine the state of the one or more audio control relays, and a communication module.

Abstract: A service engine determines whether there is a potential lack of transaction tax compliance in a plurality of jurisdictions for a plurality of entities. The service engine generates and/or transmits tax compliance data which may include information about potential lack of tax compliance of an entity in various jurisdictions based on rules about establishing nexus for purposes of remitting transaction tax in the jurisdictions. The tax compliance data may include a notification about the generation of the information, such as a notification to the entity that there exists a potential lack of tax compliance of that entity in specific jurisdictions. The service engine may update the tax compliance data dynamically and send corresponding notifications, automatically in real time or near real time for the applicable entity as sales of the entity change and/or rules for establishing nexus change for various jurisdictions.

Abstract: A video game controller has triggers that can be depressed by a user. The triggers have associated trigger stops actuatable to limit the travel of the trigger when depressed by the user. The trigger stop can be selectively operated by the user to vary the trigger stop location, and therefore the amount of travel of the trigger when depressed, between multiple (e.g., more than 2, more than 3, more than 4, 5, etc.) positions.

Abstract: Systems and methods electronically produce a local estimate of less-than-critical resources based on a client-side version of digital rules and coarse values received from an online service provider. Although using the client-side version of digital rules and the coarse values may not include all the parameters and values needed to provide a fully accurate estimate of the resource, the ability to locally estimate resources without having to make network calls to the online service provider, such as when there are unfavorable conditions or latency of the network, imminent overloading of the online service provider or other operating conditions or demands on the online service provider preventing it from producing a timely more accurate estimate, provides a faster and more efficient way of obtaining a potentially useful estimate of resources.

Abstract: A method of processing a semiconductor wafer is provided. The method includes introducing the wafer to a main chamber via a loading port, using a transfer mechanism to transfer the wafer to a first wafer processing module in a stack so that the wafer is disposed substantially horizontally in the first wafer processing module with a front face facing upwards, and performing a processing step on the front face of the wafer in the first wafer processing module.

Abstract: A retractor tool apparatus and method of manipulation are described. The retractor tool may include one or more blades. The one or more blades may be cranial/caudal blades. The one or more blades may be a medial blade. One or more portions of the retractor tool may be adjustable.

Abstract: An exercise device is provided for use in connection with at least one bodyweight exercise. The device has a grip handle and a forearm support at substantially a perpendicular arrangement with the grip handle, allowing a user to grasp the grip handle and simultaneously place a forearm into the device. A curved finger shield region covers the grip handle and a curved forearm region covers the forearm support. The curved finger shield region and the curved forearm region form a contiguous curved surface with a substantially perpendicular transition between the two, such that a user grasping the grip handle and simultaneously resting their forearm on the forearm region, can support at least a portion of their body weight on either one of the curved finger shield regions or the curved forearm region.

Abstract: A spin rinse dryer for treating a substrate has an enclosure, a rotatable support for supporting the substrate, a rotatable member located within the enclosure above the rotatable support, and a drive for rotating the rotatable member. During cleaning of the wafer, liquid that splashes up from the wafer will strike the rotatable member, rather than the upper wall of the enclosure, and may form droplets on the rotatable member. After the flow of cleaning liquid has stopped, the drive can rotate the rotatable member at high speed, which tends to throw the liquid droplets off the rotatable member through centrifugal force. The liquid then runs down the walls of the enclosure, away from the wafer, so that there is a much reduced chance of contamination of the cleaned wafer. The rotatable member and support may be integrally formed and rotated together or may be separate members.

Abstract: An apparatus for electrochemically processing a semiconductor substrate includes a processing chamber of the type that is sealable to a peripheral portion of a semiconductor substrate so as to define a covered processing volume. The semiconductor substrate is supported by a substrate support. A magnetic arrangement is disposed outside of the processing chamber and produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is changed using a controller for controlling the magnetic arrangement. An agitator is disposed within the processing chamber. The agitator comprises a magnetically responsive element which is responsive to changes in the magnetic field of the magnetic arrangement so as to provide a reciprocating motion to the agitator.

The plunger comprises a plurality of surfaces configured to releasably engage at least a portion of the clutch lever, where the travel limit of the trigger is adjustable between a plurality of travel limit positions by releasably engaging said at least a portion of the clutch lever with a different surface of the plurality of surface of the plunger.
