  • Patent number: 11946131
    Abstract: Designs and arrangements for sublimation cells are provided, which enriches an inert carrier gas with organic vapor such that the partial pressure of the organic vapor is highly stable in time. Stability is achieved by controlling the local rates of evaporation along the solid-gas interface through one or more crucibles, thereby reducing the effects of greater headspace and lowering interfacial area as the source depletes. Local evaporation rates also can be controlled using either temperature distribution or convective flow fields.

  • Patent number: 11703554
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide for improved sensor devices. An example sensor device includes a magnet mounting tube and a magnet supported within the magnet mounting tube. The sensor device includes a sensor mounting tube that receives at least a portion of the magnet mounting tube and supported magnet therein. The sensor device includes a magnetic sensor affixed to the sensor mounting tube. The sensor device includes a spring positioned around the magnet mounting tube and the sensor mounting tube such that the magnet and the magnetic sensor are surrounded by the spring. In an instance in which a load is applied to either a first end or second end of the spring, the magnet mounting tube translates relative the sensor mounting tube so as to induce a change in magnetic flux identified by the magnetic sensor indicative of a weight of the load.

  • Publication number: 20070282893
    Abstract: A system for providing digital content and digital advertisements to users provides digital content via the Internet, in combination with time-shifted advertisements that may be presented by an application that resides on the user's computer. The system may operate in a wholly or partially automated manner, providing automated, self-service interfaces for one or more of the following groups: advertisers, content providers, publishers, and users. The system receives digital advertisement data from advertisers, which can include or consist of a link to an advertiser's website. Advertisers provide compensation based on the presentation of their advertisements to users. The system receives digital content from content providers. Content providers receive compensation when users access digital content provided by content providers. Publishers may access digital content from the system and provide the content to users through one or more user interfaces.
