| 20090202321 | PUNCHING AND BINDING SYSTEM AND ELEMENTS THEREOF - An apparatus for punching and binding a stack of papers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a paper clamp and a binding element insertion device that are movable relative to each other. The binding element insertion device is configured to receive and detect binding elements of different sizes. The apparatus also includes a punching mechanism, a controller, and a user interface. The controller controls movement of the paper clamp and the binding element insertion device based on the size of the binding element needed to bind the stack of papers together. The user interface is configured to provide information to a user of the apparatus and to receive input from the user before, during, and after the punching and binding operation. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100119333 | PUNCHING AND BINDING SYSTEM AND ELEMENTS THEREOF - A method of binding a stack of papers having a plurality of holes with a binding element having a plurality of fingers insertable in the holes. The method includes clamping the stack of papers with a paper clamp; moving at least one of the paper clamp and a binding element applicator relative to the other; and binding the stack of papers with a binding element held by the binding element applicator by operating the binding element applicator to insert the fingers of the binding element into holes of the stack of papers. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20100294786 | MAGNIFIER DEVICE FOR MOUNTING TO A CONTAINER - One aspect of the present invention provides a magnifier device for mounting to a container. The device comprises a container mount comprising a base portion and an adjustable portion. Each of the base portion and the adjustable portion comprises a container engaging surface. The container engaging surfaces are arranged for engaging a container received therebetween. The adjustable portion is mounted for movement relative to the base portion in (i) a contracting direction wherein the container engaging surfaces move relatively towards one another and (ii) an expanding direction wherein the container engaging surfaces move relatively away from one another, thus enabling receipt of containers of various sizes between the container engaging surfaces. The container mount comprises a resilient member for biasing the adjustable portion in the contracting direction, thus urging engagement of the container engaging surfaces against a container received therebetween. A magnifying lens is secured to a lens mounting part of the base portion of the container mount. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20110048283 | LOW-VOLATILITY COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN FORMING DEPOSITED LAYERS - The present invention relates to the use of low-volatility compounds in forming deposited layers and to methods for accomplishing such deposition. Particular applicability is in the field of depositing layers for semiconductor devices. A solution made up of low vapor pressure solutes (source materials) and solvents, wherein the solvents have a vapor pressure several orders of magnitude lower than that of the solute is described. The solutions are introduced to a vaporization apparatus configured to enable rapid and efficient vaporization of the solute with minimum evaporation of solvent and minimum decomposition of solute. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090320881 | Use of spectroscopic techniques to monitor and control reactant gas input into a pre-pump reactive gas injection system - The present invention relates to vacuum processing systems in which process gases are introduced in a process chamber and are exhausted through a vacuum processing system exhaust path. Deposits made by the exhausted gas are reduced or eliminated by introducing a reactive gas upstream of the device affected by deposits. The amount of introduced reactive gas is controlled by measuring gas phase concentrations of exhausted gas components upstream and downstream of the affected device, and, from those measurements, determining whether the components are being consumed in deposits on the affected device. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110017140 | METHOD OF TREATING A GAS STREAM - A method is described of treating a gas stream exhausted from an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process chamber to which two or more gaseous precursors are alternately supplied. Between the process chamber and a vacuum pump used to draw the gas stream from the chamber, the gas stream is conveyed to a gas mixing chamber, to which a reactant is supplied for reacting with one of the gaseous precursors to form solid material. The gas stream is then conveyed to a cyclone separator to separate solid material from the gas stream. By deliberately reacting a non-reacted precursor to form solid material upstream from the pump, reaction within the pump of the non-reacted precursor and a second non-reacted precursor subsequently drawn from the chamber by the pump can be inhibited. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20090080966 | MODULAR FILING SYSTEM - A binder for holding documents is disclosed. The binder has a spine with a pair of cover flaps attached to each side of the spine. Attached to the spine is a latching device, also referred to as a locking device, that includes a first retaining member, a latching member, and a second retaining member. The first and second retaining members are parallel to each other and extend perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the spine. The binder is configured to hold a plurality of document modules, each of which hold a set of documents, which are flexible sheets of material, such as paper or plastic. Each module has first and second ends. The first end is contoured to mate with a portion of an external profile of the first retaining member. The second end attaches to the second retaining member. The latching member moves between a latched position where it engages the first end of the module and an unlatched position where it is not engaged to the first end of said module. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20110082945 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SCALABLE VIDEO CHUNKING - Methods and systems for creating and retrieving scalable media files using a chunking model. A plurality of network abstraction layer (NAL) units representing a scalable media presentation are grouped into a plurality of video chunks wherein each chunk represents only the NAL units of one layer and a specific time period. The plurality of video chunks are then stored in one or more scalable media files along with indexing information which provides information for retrieving the NAL units from each video chunk. In this manner, a client can request only the video chunks (and thus NAL units) that it needs or wants to achieve a specific bandwidth. | 04-07-2011 |
