  • Patent number: 11260646
    Abstract: A method of processing a substrate, with a first major surface of the substrate removably bonded to a first major surface of a first carrier and a second major surface of the substrate removably bonded to a first major surface of a second carrier, includes initiating debonding at a first location of an outer peripheral bonded interface between the substrate and the first carrier to separate a portion of the first carrier from the substrate. The method further includes propagating a first debond front from the first debonded location along a first direction extending away from the first debonded location by sequentially applying a plurality of lifting forces to the first carrier at a corresponding plurality of sequential lifting locations of the first carrier.

  • Patent number: 10413046
    Abstract: A coupler for removeable coupling an object to a support. The coupler includes a cover, a ring, and a base. The cover couples to the support. The ring includes a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, a fourth arm, a first stop, and a second stop. Each arm of the ring is formed of a resilient material. The ring is positioned in a cavity of the cover. The base couples to the accessory. The base cooperates with the cover and the ring to couple to the cover and to rotate from a decoupled position to an intermediate position and further to a clocked position.

  • Publication number: 20050227347
    Abstract: A method of treating waste product containing biomass digestible product residues includes using a surfactant penetrant containing complex molecule enzymatic breakdown agent in the cleaning of waste products from processing surfaces to create a liquid waste stream including active enzymatic material. The method includes diluting the waste stream to a predetermined state and moving the liquid waste stream to a biomass having waste eating bacteria. The method further includes raising the metabolic rates of the bacteria in the biomass to increase their rate of digestion of the waste product in the waste stream while the enzymatic material remains active to simplify complex molecules in the waste.
