Abstract: The purpose of the automatic container assembler apparatus (800) is to assemble the constitutive elements of a COAST container i.e. the wafer (138) that is to be treated in the manufacturing line, the cassette-reservoir (123) and the single wafer holder (130). In essence, the assembler apparatus consists of a cabinet whose interior space cabinet is submitted to a clean filtered gas flow generated by a blower, so that a clean gaseous mini-environment is created therein with a light overpressure with regard to the outside ambient. The cabinet includes a vertical stocker (804) adapted to be manually and safely filled with the adequate number of the elements mentioned above. Generally, the wafers are carried in a multiple wafer holder (130'). These elements are introduced in the cabinet through an input loadlock device (810) and laid down onto a table (806) by an operator. Next, the operator places them in their respective bins (815) of the stocker through manipulation gloves (805). The cabinet is provided with an automatic manipulator mechanism (807) for automatically and successively grasping one element of each type before proceeding to their complete assembly in a load loadlock device (808). The manipulator mechanism essentially consists of a rotating head (822) movable in the X, Y and Z directions and provided with a plurality of handling grippers (822A to C), each being adapted to a specific element. Once these elements have been properly assembled to form a container, the interior space thereof is pressurized with an ultra pure neutral gas. Moreover, the load loadlock device is also adapted to release the assembled pressurized container onto the IN station (402-I) of the extra-bay conveyor (402) of the COAST manufacturing line and to simultaneously provide identification data to the host computer controlling said line. Similar reasoning applies to the disassembler apparatus has a quite similar construction and performs the reverse steps.

Abstract: This invention is a single-lumen balloon catheter having a valve seat on the distal end of the catheter, distal of the balloon, which may be operated by a control wire having a valve plug disposed on the wire. The valve seat may be engaged by the valve plug from either direction, depending on the installation of the control wire. In either event, if the valve plug is installed distally of the valve seat in the catheter lumen, the valve is closed by pulling on the control wire (or moving the control wire in a proximal direction) and introducing fluid through the catheter lumen through the balloon. Alternatively, the guidewire, with its integral valve plug, may be introduced from the proximal end of the catheter and may traverse the body of the balloon to engage the valve seat in the distal end of the catheter. Pushing on the control wire will seat the valve, allowing the introduction of fluid through the catheter lumen to inflate the balloon. The latter arrangement allows the control wire to be interchanged with other guidewires a physician may wish to use. The balloon provided for in this invention is of a single length and does not change its axial length as it is inflated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the monitoring and abatement of fugitive VOC emissions is disclosed. Suction, generated by a fume pump (38) or a venturi type ejector (60), pulls air and VOC's from one or more sources of VOC emissions such as the mechanical seals of pumps (10) and compressors. These VOC fumes are collected, separated from any liquids in a knock-out pot (30), and directed to a flameless combustor/thermal oxidizer (50) comprizing a tube (70) packed with heat resistant material (72) and surrounded by an electric heater (74) and thermal insulation (78). This matrix bed (68) of heat resistant materials is heated to a temperature sufficient to oxidize/destroy the VOC emissions. Thereafter, an optional convective quench section (82) may be used to lower the temperature of the exhaust gases prior to their releases to the atmosphere. By monitoring the temperature and/or the amount of power needed, changes in VOC emissions can be detected.

Filed: 1995-07-27
Abstract: A method for identifying false paths in a digital circuit. A list of paths corresponding to the digital circuit is either provided or generated. For each path, an AND gate is created. For each element in the path, the off-path signals of the monitor circuits corresponding to the elements of the path are coupled to the input of the AND gate. A plurality of different signals are input to the digital circuit in an attempt to generate a "1" at the output of the AND gate. A false timing path signal is generated for that path if the AND gate does not output a "I" within a pre-determined amount of time. This process is repeated for each path of the digital circuit to identify all false timing paths.
