Abstract: An airflow heating module for an equipment front-end module, including: a first perforated plate including a first plurality of holes used as airflow inlets; a second perforated plate including a second plurality of holes used as airflow outlets; a plurality of heaters provided between the first and the second perforated plates; and an active air intake device provided on the first perforated plate to accelerate airflow flowing through the first plurality of holes and past the plurality of heaters, such that the airflow carries heat generated by the heaters and passes through the second plurality of holes. Each of the heaters includes a heating tube and a fin. The fin is formed helically around the heating tube and attached thereto.

Abstract: An electromagnetic induction hub includes a first disc having a first magnet, a second disc having a second magnet, a coil disc formed between the first disc and the second disc, a bearing penetrates the first disc, the second disc and the coil disc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for steam purging a solid oxide fuel cell stack. Purging the SOFC stack with steam has a physical flushing effect, removing carbon monoxide containing reformate and free oxygen gas from the anode area thereby reducing the potential for nickel oxide or nickel carbonyl formation.

Abstract: A displacement leaf spring and an artificial intervertebral disc containing the same, particularly about the artificial intervertebral disc using the displacement leaf spring to cushion axial compression, wherein the artificial intervertebral disc includes a displacement leaf spring and the displacement leaf spring further includes an upper plate, an inclined plate, and a lower plate. The upper plate has a first breach, and the inclined plate has a first connecting side which connects to one side of the first breach. There is an angle between the inclined plate and the upper plate. The inclined plate has a second breach, and the lower plate has a second connecting side which connects to one side of the second breach. There is an angle between the lower plate and the inclined plate, and the lower plate parallels the upper plate. The artificial intervertebral disc equipped with the displacement leaf spring further comprises a top plate, a bottom plate, a core structure, and a socket structure.
