Title: Marking gauge
Inventor: WAGSTAFF LEE
IPC: B25H7/00
Filed: 2014-04-10
Abstract: A marking gauge 10 for marking a pipe (100, fig. 2) prior to a swaging operation comprises a resiliently deformable body 12 and an end cap 14. The resiliently deformable body defines a receiving space 16 for receiving a pipe such that the resiliently deformable body extends around and mechanically engages with the pipe. Such an arrangement allows the marking gauge to be clipped to a pipe for marking and unclipped from a pipe after marking. The end cap provides a stop for abutting the end of the pipe. This ensures the marking gauge is correctly located on the pipe being marked. The gauge may also comprise a window 22 to allow marking of the pipe. Also claimed is a method of marking a pipe for swaging, including the steps of engaging the marking gauge with the pipe, marking the pipe and disengaging the gauge from the pipe.

Title: Etch rate enhancement for a silicon etch process through etch chamber pretreatment
Inventor: Eric andrew joseph
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2015-04-15
Abstract: Pretreatment of an etch chamber for performing a silicon etch process and Bosch process can be effected by running a deposition process employing C5HF7, or by running an alternating deposition and etch process employing C5H2F6 and SF6. It has been discovered that the pretreatment of the etch chamber for the silicon etch process can enhance the etch rate of silicon by at least 50% without adverse effect on etch profile during a first each process following the pretreatment, while the etch rate enhancement factor decreases over time. By periodically performing the pretreatment in the etch chamber, the throughput of the etch chamber can be increased without adversely impacting the etch profile of the processed substrates.

Title: Combustion staging system
Inventor: DANIEL J BICKLEY
IPC: F02C9/26
Filed: 2017-06-23
Abstract: The combustion staging system 30 comprises a splitting unit 50 which splits a metered total fuel flow and directs it to pilot 31, 32 and mains 33 fuel manifolds. A plurality of mains flow control valves 40 distribute fuel from the mains fuel manifold 33 to mains discharge orifices to respective injectors of the combustor. A fuel servo line 33b extends to the mains flow control valves 40. Each mains flow control valve 40 has a chamber containing a piston which divides the chamber into a mains side and a servo side of the piston. The piston is biased towards a closed pilot-only position which prevents mains flow out of the main side of the chamber. The piston is movable between open and closed positions by a change in pressure in the servo line. The system has a servo pump 58 which is driven by hydraulic motor 59. The servo pump 58 is operable to change the fuel pressure in the servo line. Motive power for the hydraulic motor 59 is fuel diverted from high pressure output of a fuel pump 201 (figure 5).
