Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20130084395Treatment of Plastic Surfaces After Etching in Nitric Acid Containing Media - A process for plating metal on plastic substrates, particularly ABS substrates, without the use of chrome containing etchants is disclosed. The process involves (i) etching the plastic substrate in an acidic solution of nitrate ions, and preferably silver ions, (ii) conditioning the substrate in an aqueous solution containing an amine or ammonia, (iii) activating the substrate, preferably with a palladium activator, and (iv) plating the substrate with an electroless plating solution. The process allows for complete adherent electroless plating of plastic substrates, particularly ABS substrates, without the use of chromic etchants.04-04-2013

20080209648Vibrating hair brush having isolator support system for controlled vibratory movement - A vibrating hair brush provides enhanced detangling of user's hair. The brush has a bristle pad comprising a plurality of bristles disposed in a brush head. The bristle pad is supported within the brush head by a vibrating motor and isolator assembly disposed for directing a vibratory movement of the motor to a bristle pad movement in a plane generally parallel to a user's scalp. The motor and isolator assembly effectively translate a circular vibratory movement of the offset weight into an elliptical movement of the bristle pad while insulating the vibration caused by the movement of the weight from a handle of the brush.09-04-2008
20080210252Vibrating hair brush with curvilinear planar movement for enhanced detangling of hair - A vibrating hair brush provides enhanced detangling of hair including a head portion having a motor assembly for operating a vibrating actuator and a plurality of bristles depending from a bristle pad. The actuator is disposed for generating a vibrating movement of the bristles in a curvilinear direction within a plane generally parallel to the bristle pad and tangential to the user's scalp. The vibrating actuator comprises an offset weight rotating in a plane generally parallel to the bristle pad.09-04-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120140889FAST MEASUREMENT OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION FROM TILTED LAYERS - A method for analysis includes directing a converging beam of X-rays toward a surface of a sample having multiple single-crystal layers, including at least a first layer and a second layer that is formed over and tilted relative to the first layer. The X-rays that are diffracted from each of the first and second layers are sensed simultaneously while resolving the sensed X-rays as a function of angle so as to generate a diffraction spectrum including at least a first diffraction peak due to the first layer and a second diffraction peak due to the second layer. The diffraction spectrum is analyzed so as to identify a characteristic of at least the second layer.06-07-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20130039471Detection of Wafer-Edge Defects - Apparatus for inspection of a disk, which includes a crystalline material and has first and second sides. The apparatus includes an X-ray source, which is configured to direct a beam of X-rays to impinge on an area of the first side of the disk. An X-ray detector is positioned to receive and form input images of the X-rays that are diffracted from the area of the first side of the disk in a reflective mode. A motion assembly is configured to rotate the disk relative to the X-ray source and detector so that the area scans over a circumferential path in proximity to an edge of the disk. A processor is configured to process the input images formed by the X-ray detector along the circumferential path so as to generate a composite output image indicative of defects along the edge of the disk.02-14-2013

20100168727Oesophageal treatment apparatus - A probe and associated apparatus for treating oesophageal tissue with microwave radiation (e.g. radiation having a frequency of 5-60 GHz) are disclosed. The probe comprises a flexible substrate that expands and retracts between an access configuration, e.g. suitable for insertion through an endoscope, and a treatment configuration in which radiating elements, e.g. conducting patches, monopole antennas, slots in a conducting strip or the like, are brought into close proximity with tissue to be treated. The radiating elements are arranged to emit a substantially uniform electromagnetic field with a suitable penetration depth into the tissue. The apparatus can monitor and control the power delivered from the probe into tissue. A method of hollow tube, e.g. oesophageal, pathological treatment and a device for opening and closing the probe are also disclosed.07-01-2010
