20140061180 | ELECTROSTATIC CHUCK WITH RADIATIVE HEATING - An electrostatic chuck is formed using materials that are optically transparent to a range of frequencies, such as infrared radiation. The invention discloses several methods for achieving optical transparency. The chuck electrode can be formed having a mesh pattern designed with a specific open area percentage to provide adequate wafer clamping force while still allowing sufficient levels of infrared radiation to pass through. Alternatively, the chuck electrode can also be made from a transparent conductive film. A workpiece is disposed on one surface of the chuck, and a radiative heat source is positioned on the opposite side of the chuck. A reflector plate may be used to reflect the infrared radiation toward the chuck and the wafer. The spacing of the radiation sources and the shape of the reflector plate may be modified to focus more radiation on a particular portion of the workpiece if desired. | 03-06-2014 |
20150062772 | Barrier Layer For Electrostatic Chucks - An electrostatic chuck for implanting ions at high temperatures is disclosed. The electrostatic chuck includes an insulating base, with electrically conductive electrodes disposed thereon. A dielectric top layer is disposed on the electrodes. A barrier layer is disposed on the dielectric top layer so as to be between the dielectric top layer and the workpiece. This barrier layer serves to inhibit the migration of particles from the dielectric top layer to the workpiece, which is clamped on the chuck. In some embodiments, a protective layer is applied on top of the barrier layer to prevent abrasion. | 03-05-2015 |

20100137951 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING BODY TEMPERATURE OF A SUBJECT - A cooling system includes a console and a tissue cooling device such as a head-cooling device. An operator applies the head-cooling device to the head of a patient at risk for ischemic injury. The console provides a cooling fluid to a fluid circulation space located between the cooling device and the patient's head under a positive gage pressure. Direct contact between the cooling fluid and the patient's head provides a relatively rapid induction of systemic hypothermia in the patient, thereby minimizing or preventing ischemic injury in the patient. The console also removes air from a channel disposed about an inner rim of the cooling device, using a negative gage pressure. Such removal of the air from the channel seals the rim of the cooling device to the head of the patient, including portions of the channel in contact with hair of the patient's head, and minimizes leaking of the cooling fluid beyond the rim of the cooling device. | 06-03-2010 |

20130154567 | Balancing Discharge in Parallel Battery Configurations - An apparatus balances a discharge in parallel battery configuration by having a battery pack (a) with a first battery system and a second battery system in parallel configuration, and a pulse width modulation device and (b) being interconnectable to a load. Each of the first and second battery systems has, in series and in order, a first voltage sensor, a resistor, a second voltage sensor, a string of battery cells, and a switching device. The first and second voltage sensor, in each battery system, measures an electrical current, used to calculate the voltage drop across each resistor. The voltage drop values for each battery system determine whether the pulse width modulation device alters or maintains the pulse width modulation applied to each battery system's switching device. By maintaining or altering the pulse width modulation applied to each switching device, the apparatus effectively balances the electrical current discharge from each battery system. | 06-20-2013 |
