20090238818 | Induction of Antigen Specific Immunnologic Tolerance - Antigen specific immune tolerance is induced in a mammalian host by administration of a toleragen in combination with a regimen of immunosuppression. The methods optionally include a preceding conditioning period, where immunosuppressive agents are administered in the absence of the toleragen. After the tolerizing regimen, the host is withdrawn from the suppressive agents, but is able to maintain specific immune tolerance to the immunogenic epitopes present on the toleragen. Optimally, the toleragen will have high uptake properties that allow uptake in vivo at low concentrations in a wide variety of tolerizing cell types. | 09-24-2009 |

The ferrites cause the standing wave to stretch outside the ferrites and shrink inside the ferrite. A plurality of power sources are coupled to the electrode. The phase of the VHF current delivered from the power sources may be modulated to move the standing wave that is perpendicular to the ferrites in a direction parallel to the ferrites. Thus, the VHF current on the uncovered electrode area will be a plane wave, quasi-uniform (in a direction perpendicular to the ferrites) propagating in the direction parallel to the ferrites. | 04-29-2010 |
20100136261 | MODULATION OF RF RETURNING STRAPS FOR UNIFORMITY CONTROL - Embodiments of the present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for processing substrates using plasma. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a plasma processing chamber having an electrode coupled to a plurality of RF returning straps, wherein impedance of the RF returning straps are set and/or adjusted to tune the plasma distribution during processing. In one embodiment, impedance of RF returning straps varies by changing length of the RF returning straps, by changing width of the RF returning straps, by changing spacing of the RF returning straps, by changing location of the RF returning straps, by adding a capacitor to the RF returning straps, or by combinations thereof. | 06-03-2010 |

20150251133 | PLASMA ABATEMENT OF COMPOUNDS CONTAINING HEAVY ATOMS - A plasma abatement process for abating effluent containing compounds from a processing chamber is described. A plasma abatement process takes gaseous foreline effluent from a processing chamber, such as a deposition chamber, and reacts the effluent within a plasma chamber placed in the foreline path. The plasma dissociates the compounds within the effluent, converting the effluent into more benign compounds. Abating reagents may assist in the abating of the compounds. The abatement process may be a volatizing or a condensing abatement process. Representative volatilizing abating reagents include, for example, CH | 09-10-2015 |
