Abstract: A wafer transporting method includes following operations. A plurality of wafers are received in a semiconductor container attached to a mobile vehicle. An air processing system is coupled to a wall of the semiconductor container. The air processing system includes an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a pump between the inlet valve and the outlet valve, and a desiccant coupled to the pump. The semiconductor container is moved. The pump of the air processing system is turned on to extract air from inside the semiconductor container into the air processing system through the inlet valve. Humidity of the air is reduced when the air passes through the desiccant of the air processing system. The air is returned back to the semiconductor container through the outlet valve.

Abstract: A container includes a container body and an air processing system. The container body includes a plurality of walls defining an interior space for receiving wafers. The air processing system is attached to the container body. The air processing system includes an exchange module, an air extraction module, a first contaminant removal module, a processing module, a second contaminant removal module, a controller module and a power module. The exchange module is coupled to one of the walls of the container body. The air extraction module extracts air from the container body. The first contaminant removal module is coupled to the air extraction module and the exchange module. The processing module is coupled to the air extraction module. The second contaminant removal module is coupled to the processing module and the exchange module. The controller module is configured to turn the air extraction module on and off.

Abstract: A system for quantitative differential phase contrast microscopy with isotropic transfer function utilizes a modulation mechanism to create a detection light field having a radial or other axial orientation of optical intensity gradient or other distribution. A condenser generates an off-axis light field to project onto an object under examination, thereby generating an object light field, which is then guided to an image capturing device through an objective lens for capturing images. A differential phase contrast algorithm is applied to the images for obtaining a phase, thereby a depth information corresponding to the phase can be obtained to reconstruct the surface profile of the object.

Abstract: An inflatable life preserver uses a novel packing method with a lightweight inflatable film that allows it to integrate with equipment so that it is not noticeable to the user in the uninflated condition and does not impede the user's operations. In the uninflated state, the bladder is folded and rolled in a way that minimizes the device footprint. The device can be attached to a MOLLE vest or other garment. In the inflated condition, the inflatable bladder material is unsupported and is constrained to provide buoyancy distribution to turn a user face-up at the water line.
