Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use of a fill on demand ampoule are disclosed. The fill on demand ampoule may refill an ampoule with precursor concurrent with the performance of other deposition processes. The fill on demand may keep the level of precursor within the ampoule at a relatively constant level. The level may be calculated to result in an optimum head volume. The fill on demand may also keep the precursor at a temperature near that of an optimum precursor temperature. The fill on demand may occur during parts of the deposition process where the agitation of the precursor due to the filling of the ampoule with the precursor minimally effects the substrate deposition. Substrate throughput may be increased through the use of fill on demand.

Abstract: Hot word free adaptation, of function(s) of an automated assistant, responsive to determining, based on gaze measure(s) and/or active speech measure(s), that a user is engaging with the automated assistant. Implementations relate to techniques for mitigating false positive occurrences of and/or false negative occurrences, of hot word free adaptation, through utilization of a permissive parameter set in some situation(s) and a restrictive parameter set in other situation(s). For example, utilizing the restrictive parameter set when it is determined that a user is engaged in conversation with additional user(s). The permissive parameter set includes permissive parameter(s) that are more permissive than counterpart(s) in the restrictive parameter set.

Abstract: The ANGULAR ROTATION LOCKING MECHANISM (ARLM) is used on cargo transport vehicles such as trucks and ships. The structure has a large load capacity, the ability to open and close easily, flexibly, but ensures the ability to lock the brake during the transport of the vehicle, in all weather conditions. Because of a purely mechanical structure, the maintenance and repair process is simple. The main point of the design is the self-positioning between the front pedestal shaft and the locking blade during operation.

Abstract: An annular pressure activated downhole tool has a housing including an outer surface, an inner surface defining a passage, an annular projection projecting into the passage from the inner surface, and an opening. A mandrel extends into the passage. The mandrel has a first end and a second end. A power spring support is detachably connected to the second end of the mandrel in the passage. A power spring is arranged about the mandrel and extends between the power spring support and the annular projection. A trigger housing is arranged in the power spring support. A trigger arranged in the trigger housing selectively engages with the inner surface. The trigger is operable to disengage from the inner surface of the housing, releasing the power spring, and shifting the mandrel along the passage when exposed to a selected annular pressure.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a porous membrane structure that can be used as a cell culture support adapted for specific cells to be grown thereon. The porous membrane structure comprises a membrane having through pores formed therein and at least one coating layer provided on the membrane such that the through pores remain open. Said adaptation is provided by selecting membrane and coating materials based on at least one type of cells to be grown on the at least one coating layer. By so doing, it is possible to alter different properties of the cell culture membrane structure (e.g., chemical and physical properties, such as hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, stiffness, roughness, cell proliferation, attachment, mobility, survivability, etc.), thereby providing control over how a cell interacts with the membrane and other cells.
