Abstract: The present invention provides a wafer carrier for use with a chemical mechanical planarization apparatus. The wafer carrier includes a vacuum chuck and a retainer ring. The vacuum chuck is configured to hold and rotate a wafer for planarizing a surface topography of the wafer on a polishing pad. The vacuum chuck includes an inner region for holding the wafer and an outer region and further has a groove adapted to decouple the inner region and the outer region. The inner and outer regions of the vacuum chuck are arranged to move independently in a direction orthogonal to a polishing surface of the polishing pad. The retainer ring is disposed on the outer region of the vacuum chuck and is configured to retain the wafer during CMP processing. In this configuration, the decoupled retainer ring and the wafer are arranged to move independently to align to the polishing surface of the polishing pad during CMP processing.

Abstract: A pliable band or hoop that is flexible to normal handling, but cannot stretch circumferentially once it has reached the limits of its circumferential length. The band may have a structural portal to be used for filling, or it may simply be constructed of a fabric-like material that allows a fill tube to perforate its walls to allow for filling. In the latter case, the perforated wall tends to self-seal once the fill tube is withdrawn. The band may be flat or tubular in cross-section. However, unlike a balloon, the band does not require either a bottom or a top, as we found that a top and bottom are unnecessary when using a band or hoop to enclose material injected into a reamed out intervertebral space.

Abstract: An electronic or electronic animal trap wherein the housing includes a pair of spaced electrodes or charge plates in a killing chamber intermediate the trap entrance and a source of bait. When used in association with an inclined plane trap, the effectiveness of the electrocuting circuitry is enhanced. Alternative embodiments of the electric or electronic trap interpose at least one diverter in the pathway to the electrodes which discourages a target animal from reversing direction before it is electrocuted. In one embodiment, juxtaposed to the entrance are at least two diverter members angularly offset relative to each other to define a maze-like path to lead a target animal to the charge plates for electrocution while discouraging reversal of direction and protecting against direct access to the charge plates through the entrance opening by children, pets or non-target species. A diverter or barrier plate may be carried by the housing cover or side wall to extend into the space between the electrodes when the cover is closed, the lower edge of the barrier being spaced from the housing floor a limiited distance to force a target animal to squeeze under the barrier as it passes to the second electrode making escape before electrocution difficult. This design may be utilized in combination with a spaced, upwardly extending diverter or barrier plate to block direct access to the pair of electrodes from the entrance opening. The effectiveness of an inclined plane trap assembly may also be enhanced by a plate carried by the cover which forces a target animal to stretch itself out before engaging the second electrode.
