20090188898Electrode Assemblies, Plasma Apparatuses and Systems Including Electrode Assemblies, and Methods for Generating Plasma - Electrode assemblies for plasma reactors include a structure or device for constraining an arc endpoint to a selected area or region on an electrode. In some embodiments, the structure or device may comprise one or more insulating members covering a portion of an electrode. In additional embodiments, the structure or device may provide a magnetic field configured to control a location of an arc endpoint on the electrode. Plasma generating modules, apparatus, and systems include such electrode assemblies. Methods for generating a plasma include covering at least a portion of a surface of an electrode with an electrically insulating member to constrain a location of an arc endpoint on the electrode. Additional methods for generating a plasma include generating a magnetic field to constrain a location of an arc endpoint on an electrode.07-30-2009

20100169464SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INTEGRATED MEDIA - Methods and system deliver media to users of media presentation systems. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a media server communicates with a media presentation system, such as a media player for streaming video and audio, to present subscription and non-subscription media to the user of the media presentation system. Subscription media may include multi-tiered media packages and individual media offerings as selected by the user. The media may be presented in various formats, including video, a graphical display, an audio presentation, a graphical and audio presentation, URL links, and interactive windows. Information about the user, the user's subscription status, the user's media presentation system and information about the media providers and the media offered by the media providers are maintained by the media server. The media server updates the foregoing information in accordance with the interaction between the media server, the users of media presentation systems, and the media providers.07-01-2010

20080316505Determining the Position of a Semiconductor Substrate on a Rotation Device - A device for determining the position of a semiconductor substrate on a rotation device having a rotational axis, including a direction of rotation detecting unit for determining the rotational state of the rotation device, and also including at least one light source and at least one receiver which is photo-sensitive to the light from the light source, wherein at least one light beam emitted by the light source is directed toward the edge of the semiconductor substrate and passes said edge to at least a partial extent. The light of the light beam which has passed to at least a partial extent is then detected at least partially by the receiver The light source, the receiver and the rotation device form an eccentricity measuring arrangement for a semiconductor substrate disposed on the rotation device, whereby the position of the semiconductor substrate on the rotation device is detected by a method in which at least one light beam passes the edge of the semiconductor substrate to at least a partial extent and then the light of the light beam which has passed to at least a partial extent is detected at least partially by a receiver.12-25-2008

20090236180Manhole construction safety and work platform device - The invention is a manhole construction safety and work platform device having a scaffold catwalk for working on a manhole, providing the safety and work platform with adjustable braces engaging the side of a conical manhole casing. The inner perimeter of the device circumferentially defines a central access opening in order to slidably accept, receive, and fit around the conical section of the manhole casing, as typically used in the utility construction industry. The scaffold catwalk has a safety barrier means on the working surface to provide a safe working environment along the outer perimeter. As is common in the industry, the conical section of the manhole casing may be an asymmetrical conical section. One objective of the present invention is to provide a scaffolding platform supported with at least three adjustable brace members to securely support the said platform against the sidewall of any shape of manhole casing.09-24-2009

20080250707Method of covering landscaped region with three dimensional fabric having projections - A landscape fabric for covering a landscaping region may be comprised of a three dimensional moisture permeable fabric that has projections extending upward and downward from the fabric. The fabric may prevent the growth of undesirable vegetation, may trap moisture, and may prevent erosion. The fabric can be made of woven materials, non-woven materials, knit materials or the like. The projections in the fabric may be compressible allowing them to return to their shape after being substantially compressed, providing for convenient rolling or folding of the fabric, and easy cutting and manipulation of the fabric.10-16-2008
