| 20100096087 | Apparatus For Aligning Electrodes In A Process Chamber to Protect An Exclusion Area Within An Edge Environ Of A Wafer - Positional relationships are established in a process chamber. A base is configured with a lower electrode surface to support a wafer, and an upper electrode has a lower surface. A drive mounted on the base has a linkage connected to the upper electrode. A fixture placed on the lower surface moves into a desired orientation of the lower electrode. With the upper electrode loosely connected by the linkage to the drive, the fixture transfers the desired orientation to the upper electrode. The linkage is tightened to maintain the desired orientation, the fixture is removed and a process exclusion insert is mounted to the upper electrode. The drive moves the upper electrode and the insert to define an inactive process zone between the upper electrode and the wafer on the lower electrode to protect a central area of the wafer during etching of a wafer edge environ around the central area. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20110165779 | METHOD OF ORIENTING AN UPPER ELECTRODE RELATIVE TO A LOWER ELECTRODE FOR BEVEL EDGE PROCESSING - Methods for orienting an upper electrode relative to a lower electrode are provided. The lower electrode is configured to have a desired existing orientation in a process chamber to define active and inactive process zones in the process chamber for processing a wafer. The method includes configuring each electrode with a reference surface, where a lower electrode reference surface is in the desired existing orientation and an upper electrode reference surface to be oriented parallel to the lower electrode reference surface. Then, temporarily holding the upper electrode reference surface oriented parallel to the lower electrode reference surface, and securing the upper electrode to a drive to mount the upper electrode reference surface parallel to the lower electrode reference surface. Other method configurations are also disclosed and illustrated. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20090104146 | COMPOSITIONS FOR ENHANCING KERATINOCYTE MIGRATION AND EPIDERMAL REPAIR VIA A RECEPTOR CONTAINING OSMRBETA AS A SUBUNIT, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF - The present invention relates to the field of epidermal repair. More particularly, the invention concerns the use of a molecule able to activate a heteromeric receptor comprising OSMRβ as a subunit, for the preparation of a composition for activating in vitro and/or in vivo keratinocyte migration and/or the expression of anti-microbial peptides by the keratinocytes. In particular, the invention concerns the use of OSM and/or IL-17 and/or TNFα and/or IL-31, or agonists thereof, for the preparation of cosmetic or dermatologic compositions. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090300776 | COMPOSITIONS FOR PREVENTING, REDUCING OR TREATING KERATINOCYTE-MEDIATED INFLAMMATION - The present invention relates to the field of epidermal repair. More particularly, the invention concerns the use of a molecule able to inhibit a heteromeric receptor comprising OSMRβ as a subunit, for the preparation of a composition for inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors by the keratinocytes. In particular, the invention concerns the use of antagonists and/or expression inhibitors of OSM, IL-17, TNFα, IL-31, IFN-γ, and/or the OSMRβ subunit, for the preparation of cosmetic or dermatologic compositions, especially for treating inflammatory skin diseases. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100135998 | COMBINATION THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF IMMUNE DISORDERS - Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment of immune disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, or cancers, involving combination therapy with agents that inhibit the development or maintenance of Th17 cells. Treatment regimens are provided in which an antagonist of a pro-inflammatory cytokine is administered for a time sufficient to alleviate signs and symptoms of an acute phase flare-up of the autoimmune disease, or cancer, and treatment with an antagonist of IL-23 is continued for a longer time to prevent recurrence of the acute event. Antagonists of PGE2 and CD161 are also disclosed for use in treatment of autoimmune, inflammatory and proliferative disorders. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20120031939 | ROOF RACK ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED LIGHTING - A roof rack assembly for a vehicle having a roof is presented here. The roof rack assembly includes a first stanchion for structural attachment to the roof, a second stanchion for structural attachment to the roof, and a bar coupled between, and held above the roof by, the first stanchion and the second stanchion. The bar has a securing feature integrally formed therein, which holds an electric powered light-emitting component. Accordingly, the roof rack assembly employs a roof rack bar having a light-emitting element integrated therein. | 02-09-2012 |

| 20090207543 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAULT DETECTION AND HAZARD PREVENTION IN PHOTOVOLTAIC SOURCE AND OUTPUT CIRCUITS - A fault detection system comprises a photo voltaic (PV) source responsive to incident sunlight to generate output power along output conductors. Control circuitry monitors to PV source and disables output power from the source in response to detection of a fault condition. The PV source may be situated on the roof of a structure and includes an array of modules. One or more controllers monitors the output of the PV modules and a combiner is electrically connected to an output of each controller for combining DC output power from the modules into a combined PV source power output. The combiner is capable of disabling the PV source power output upon detection of a fault condition by any of the controllers, and an override switch is preferably displaced from the PV source at a remote location. Methods for detecting fault conditions in a PV system are also provided and may entail monitoring conditions associated with the PV source and comparing the conditions to a set of known fault conditions associated with the source such that output power can be disabled when a detected source condition corresponds to a known fault condition. | 08-20-2009 |
