| 20120096412 | Method and System for Forming High Accuracy Patterns Using Charged Particle Beam Lithography - A method and system for fracturing or mask data preparation for charged particle beam lithography are disclosed in which accuracy and/or edge slope of a pattern formed on a surface by a set of charged particle beam shots is enhanced by use of partially-overlapping shots. In some embodiments, dosages of the shots may vary with respect to each other before proximity effect correction. Particle beam simulation may be used to calculate the pattern and the edge slope. Enhanced edge slope can improve critical dimension (CD) variation and line-edge roughness (LER) of the pattern produced on the surface. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20090065404 | PROCESS FOR RECLAIMING MULTIPLE DOMAIN FEEDSTOCKS - A process for the separation of a multiple domain solid feedstock such as that derived from ASR, WSR, and/or ESR is disclosed which comprises granulating the feedstock to produce particles each of substantially a single domain, with each type of particle having a different density. The particles are introduced into a suitable aqueous salt solution. Aqueous salt solutions containing cations comprising sodium, calcium and ammonium, and anions comprising nitrate, bromide, and chloride are useful. A dispersion mixer having a high shear and/or turbulent zone is utilized to disperse agglomerated particles and a quiescent hydrogravity tank is utilized to effect binary separation of the mixture of particles into a stream with a higher average specific gravity, and a stream with a lower average specific gravity. A higher degree of product purity can be obtained by subjecting either of the product streams from the first hydrogravity stage to additional stages of hydrogravity separation. Froth flotation may be used to further separate particles of similar specific gravity but different chemical composition. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090095660 | NEW APPLICATIONS FOR FROTH FLOTATION PROCESSES - A process is described for the separation of fluorinated plastic particles from a mixture of solid particles of similar specific gravity. The process comprises mixing the particles with water, adding air to create bubbles, and generating two or more product streams, one of which floats and the other which sinks. The floating stream is enriched in fluoropolymer particles. Per pass yield and selectivity of fluorinated plastics are enhanced by the addition of a carboxylic acid to the froth flotation medium. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20110278293 | RATCHETING GAUGE CAP - A cap may include a threaded inner body and an outer cover. A ratchet mechanism may be operatively positioned between the inner body and the outer cover to directly transmit rotation from the outer cover to the inner body in the cap-unthreading direction and to transmit no more than a predetermined amount of torque from the outer cover to the inner body in the cap-threading direction. A gauge assembly may include a float, an indicator dial, and a pointer. The float is supportable at a level of fluid within the container, and the pointer is movable in response to movement of the float with the level of fluid in the container. The pointer cooperates with the indicator dial to indicate the level of fluid in the container. A translucent crystal may be positioned over the indicator dial and the pointer. The crystal may be fixed relative to the inner body. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120018430 | PRESSURE RELIEF CAP - A pressure relief cap engageable with a container includes a vent passage between an interior of the cap and an exterior of the cap. A two-way pressure relief valve is located along the vent passage and is configured to open automatically in response to a positive net interior pressure exceeding a first threshold pressure and in response to a negative net interior pressure exceeding a second threshold pressure. A manual actuator is actuable from the exterior of the cap to open the two-way pressure relief valve. A plug is positioned along the vent passage in series with the two-way pressure relief valve, movable between a first position in which the vent passage is open between the two-way pressure relief valve and the exterior of the cap and a second position in which the plug closes the vent passage between the two-way pressure relief valve and the exterior of the cap. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20090140184 | Flow Rate Accuracy of a Fluidic Delivery System - Improving the accuracy of the flow rate of a valve in a fluidic delivery device in which a desired flow rate may be achieved by varying the duty cycle of the valve. The flow rate of fluid delivery from the valve over its lifetime is stabilized by minimizing the voltage OPENING time of the valve to account for valve and piezoelectric actuator drift. Also, the valve OPENING time of one or more fluidic parameters that impact on the flow rate delivery by the valve and differ among fluidic delivery devices is compensated to optimize the flow rate accuracy. | 06-04-2009 |
