| 20100251352 | System and method for rendering a set of program instructions as executable or non-executable - A method and system for rendering a set of computer-readable program instructions on a user device as executable or non-executable. The user device or an intermediary device may transmit an access-token request including a device identifier to a server device. The server device determines whether the device identifier matches a registered device identifier, and if so, transmits an access-token to the user device, or to the intermediary device, which in turn transmits the access-token to the user device. The access-token includes an expiration indicator. Preferably, the expiration indicator is not expired when received by the user device, but expires some time after being received by the user device. The user device executes a first set of program instruction to determine whether the expiration indicator is expired, and if so, renders a second set of program instructions as non-executable, otherwise the second set of program instructions are rendered as executable. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100031511 | Pipe Cutter - A mechanical pipe cutting device comprising of a shaft body with a tapered spring loaded internal drive shaft, with interchangeable heads of varying sizes. The sole purpose of the tool is to cut pipes of different sizes from within. Each head has multiple spring loaded blades that are forced outwards by downward pressure. The shaft body has an adjustable depth guide so that the downward pressure of the operator forces the spring loaded tapered drive shaft against the pistons holding the spring loaded cutters. This is all driven by some form of rotational motive power. As downward pressure is applied the cutters are forced into the surrounding pipe. On cutting through the downward pressure is released, the blades retract. The tool is ready to be extracted from the inside of the pipe | 02-11-2010 |

| 20090078374 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORTING AND PROCESSING SUBSTRATES - There is described apparatus and methods for transporting and processing substrates including wafers as to efficiently produce at reasonable costs improved throughput as compared to systems in use today. A key element is the use of a transport chamber along the sides of processing chambers for feeding substrates into a controlled atmosphere through a load lock and then along a transport chamber as a way of reaching processing chambers and then out of the controlled atmosphere following processing in the processing chambers. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090145879 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMERCIAL FABRICATION OF PATTERNED MEDIA - A system is provided for etching patterned media disks for hard drive. The modular system may be tailored to perform specific processes sequences so that a patterned media disk is fabricated without removing the disk from vacuum environment. In some sequence the magnetic stack is etched while in other the etch is performed prior to forming the magnetic stack. In a further sequence ion implantation is used without etching steps. For etching a movable non-contact electrode is utilized to perform sputter etch. The cathode moves to near contact distance to, but not contacting, the substrate so as to couple RF energy to the disk. The substrate is held vertically in a carrier and both sides are etched serially. That is, one side is etched in one chamber and then in the next chamber the second side is etched. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090191030 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORTING AND PROCESSING SUBSTRATES - There is described apparatus and methods for transporting and processing substrates including wafers as to efficiently produce at reasonable costs improved throughput as compared to systems in use today. A linear transport chamber includes linear tracks and robot arms riding on the linear tracks to linearly transfer substrates along the sides of processing chambers for feeding substrates into a controlled atmosphere through a load lock and then along a transport chamber as a way of reaching processing chambers. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20110104847 | EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM FOR SOLAR CELL FABRICATION - A plurality of chamber are arranged about a transport chamber. The linear transport chamber may include a linear track supporting robot arms. The robot arms transport substrates to and from the chambers. Each chamber includes a plurality of evaporators, each controlled independently. Each substrate positioned in the chamber is coated from a plurality of the evaporators, such that by controlling the operation of each evaporator independently the formation of the layers and the concentration gradient of each layer can be precisely controlled. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100030911 | DATA TRANSFER ACCELERATION SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A method for accelerating data transfer over a network between a first computer and a second computer includes establishing a plurality of connections for transferring data. The plurality of connections may be established between the first computer and the second computer and may be defined as a virtual circuit. The method may also include de-multiplexing the data into a plurality of data packets and assigning sequence numbers to each of the data packets. The method may further include transmitting the plurality of data packets through the virtual circuit in an order corresponding to the assigned sequence numbers, and receiving the plurality of data packets regardless of the assigned sequence number. The method may still further include sequencing the plurality of data packets into an order corresponding to the assigned sequence number and multiplexing the plurality of data packets. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20100043729 | ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRON PARTICLE BEAM GENERATOR - Provided is an atmospheric electron particle beam nozzle, with a nozzle body having a lumen disposed therethrough; an electrode that is disposed within the lumen, optionally concentrically with the nozzle body, to define an output chamber within the lumen that encompasses the electrode. Also provided is an atmospheric electron particle beam system that provides: a nozzle, that supplies a nozzle body having a lumen disposed therethrough; an electrode disposed within the lumen, optionally concentrically with the nozzle body, to define an output chamber; an RF generator that is in communication with a transformer having a number of turns and connected to a vacuum variable capacitor, and connected electrically to the electrode; and a fluid source that supplies the nozzle with a fluid. Also herein is a method of projecting an electron beam, by projecting an electron charged fluid sheath over a distance, and projecting the electron beam within the sheath. | 02-25-2010 |
