To counteract the effect of dopant being implanted into the edge of the workpiece, components made of material having an opposite conductivity are placed near the workpiece. As ions from the beam strike these components, ions from the material are sputtered. These ions have the opposite conductivity as the implanted ions, and therefore inhibit the formation of junctions. | 04-04-2013 |

The particles at least partially surrounding the fluidic droplet may be colloidal particles in some cases, i.e., forming a “colloidal capsule.” In one set of embodiments, the particles may be positioned on the surface of a fluidic droplet such that the fluidic droplet is able to maintain a shape that, when left undisturbed, is not achievable by an undisturbed fluidic droplet free of discrete particles, for example, elongated or prolate ellipsoid fluidic droplets. Such fluidic droplets may also exhibit unusual properties, for example, plasticity, isolation from electromagnetic fields, certain electrical and/or magnetic properties, and/or mechanical resistance. In certain embodiments, multiple fluidic droplets may be prevented from fusing or coalescing into one droplet when coming into physical contact, due to the presence of particles on the fluidic droplets. However, the fluidic droplets may be induced into fusing or coalescing by initially deforming one or more of the fluidic droplets, e.g., mechanically. | 09-04-2008 |

The cell containment subsystem is equipped with features to allow gas delivery through porous tubing or gas-only permeable internal gas compartments within the implantable cell containment subsystem. Furthermore, the gas generator subsystem includes components that allow access to water for electrolysis while implanted, thereby promoting long-term implantability of the gas generator subsystem. An application of the system is a pancreatic islet (or pancreatic islet analogue) implant for treatment of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) that would be considered a bio-artificial pancreas. | 04-23-2015 |

20090045073 | Electrolysis cell comprising sulfur dioxide-depolarized anode and method of using the same in hydrogen generation - Electrolysis cell and method of using the same in hydrogen generation. According to one embodiment, the electrolysis cell includes a frame having an interior. A proton exchange membrane (PEM) is disposed within the frame to divide the interior into two chambers. An anode in the form of a gas diffusion electrode is disposed within the interior of the frame and is spaced apart from the PEM, the space between the anode and the PEM being filled with an aqueous sulfuric acid. A cathode is disposed within the interior of the frame and is ionically coupled to the PEM. In use, gaseous sulfur dioxide is delivered to the side of the anode facing away from the sulfuric acid solution, and a current is supplied to the electrolysis cell. Consequently, sulfur dioxide is oxidized at the anode, and molecular hydrogen is generated at the cathode. | 02-19-2009 |
20100330547 | Perfusing an organ with an in situ generated gas - Method and system for organ preservation. According to one aspect, an organ may be preserved by being perfused with an in situ generated preserving gas. The organ may be, for example, a human or porcine pancreas, and perfusion of the pancreas may be anterograde, retrograde, ductal, anterograde/ductal, or retrograde/ductal. The preserving gas used to perfuse the organ may be dissolved in a liquid and then administered to the organ as a gas/liquid solution or may be mixed with one or more other gases and then administered to the organ as a gas/gas mixture. The preserving gas may be, for example, oxygen gas generated in situ using an electrochemical oxygen concentrator. According to another aspect, an organ preservation system may include an electrochemical oxygen concentrator having a water vapor feed, as well as auxiliary equipment to control and measure delivery pressure, flow, temperature and humidity. | 12-30-2010 |
20110097678 | Method of heating and heating apparatus - Method of heating and heating apparatus. According to one embodiment, the heating apparatus is designed for warming infusion fluids and includes a pair of catalytic heaters positioned around a cartridge containing the infusion fluid. Each catalytic heater includes a pair of frames jointly defining a cavity. One of the frames per heater is positioned proximate to the cartridge and includes an input port for receiving a liquid solution of methanol. The other frame per heater is positioned distal to the cartridge and includes an input port for receiving oxygen gas and an output port for exhaust gases. A first fluid diffusion medium is positioned within the methanol frame, and a second fluid diffusion medium is positioned within the oxygen frame. Sandwiched between the two diffusion media are a pervaporation membrane facing the first diffusion medium and a porous metal catalyst facing the second diffusion medium. Methanol in liquid form is supplied to the pervaporation membrane, which then transports the methanol in vapor form to the catalyst, where combustion occurs. Heat from the combustion reaction is then conducted through the heater to the cartridge containing the infusion fluid. | 04-28-2011 |
20120178150 | SYSTEM FOR FLUID PERFUSION OF BIOLOGICAL MATTER COMPRISING TISSUE - System for fluid perfusion of biological matter that includes tissue. According to one embodiment, the system may include a storage container for storing the biological matter, a thermal control device for cooling the contents of the storage container, a gas generator for generating a preserving gas, a fluid conduit coupled to the gas generator and insertable into tissue for delivering the preserving gas to the biological matter, and a process controller for controlling the operation of the gas generator and the thermal control device. The gas generator, in turn, may include an electrochemical oxygen concentrator and/or a water electrolyzer for generating the preserving gas. The system may further include a liquid perfusion system that includes a reservoir of liquid perfusate, a fluid delivery conduit for delivering liquid perfusate from the reservoir to the biological matter, and a fluid draining conduit for draining liquid perfusate from the biological matter. | 07-12-2012 |

20100159153 | ELECTROSTATIC CHUCK SHIELDING MECHANISM - An end station for an ion implantation system is provided, wherein the end station comprises a process chamber configured to receive an ion beam. A load lock chamber is coupled to the process chamber and configured to selectively introduce a workpiece into the process chamber. An electrostatic chuck within the process chamber is configured to selectively translate through the ion beam, and a shield within the process chamber is configured to selectively cover at least a portion of a clamping surface of the electrostatic chuck to protect the clamping surface from one or more contaminants associated with the ion beam. A docking station within the process chamber selectively retains the shield, and a transfer mechanism is configured to transfer a workpiece between the load lock chamber and the electrostatic chuck, and to transfer the shield between the docking station and the clamping surface of the electrostatic chuck. | 06-24-2010 |
20140034846 | IN-VACUUM HIGH SPEED PRE-CHILL AND POST-HEAT STATIONS - An ion implantation system provides ions to a workpiece positioned in a vacuum environment of a process chamber on a cooled chuck. A pre-chill station within the process chamber has a chilled workpiece support configured to cool the workpiece to a first temperature, and a post-heat station within the process chamber, has a heated workpiece support configured to heat the workpiece to a second temperature. The first temperature is lower than a process temperature, and the second temperature is greater than an external temperature. A workpiece transfer arm is further configured to concurrently transfer two or more workpieces between two or more of the chuck, a load lock chamber, the pre-chill station, and the post-heat station. | 02-06-2014 |
