In one embodiment, a ferroelectric material is processed by placing the material in an environment including metal vapor and heating the material to a temperature below the Curie temperature of the material. This allows the bulk conductivity of the ferroelectric material to be increased without substantially degrading its ferroelectric domain properties. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric material comprises lithium tantalate and the metal vapor comprises zinc.

In one embodiment, lithium oxide concentration in wafers is adjusted by placing the wafers in a vessel. Vapor of a lithium oxide source is provided and absorbed by the wafers, thereby adjusting the lithium oxide concentration in the wafers. In another embodiment, a two-phase lithium-rich source is placed between wafers such that space in the process chamber is efficiently utilized. In another embodiment, the wafers to be processed are placed in a section of a process chamber (e.g., process tube). Lithium oxide is introduced on end of the process chamber. Carrier gas is also introduced on that end of the process chamber to carry the lithium oxide into the section of the process chamber where the wafers are located. By adjusting the partial pressure of lithium oxide in the process chamber, the rate at which lithium oxide is absorbed by the wafers is controlled.

This invention relates to an exercise device of skill and amusement. The device includes a generator within a hollow body which defines a predetermined path. Manual manipulation of the hollow body forces the generator to move along the predetermined path which in turn results in the production of electric power which is used to sequentially energize a number of light or audio means. Activation of sequential light or audio means provides amusement and an indication of the amount of manual skill being exercised by the user.

A ball whirling toy having an orbital track with a concave/convex cross-section, the concave side of which faces inwardly toward the center of the track circumscribing the orbital track. A handling arrangement is secured to or part of the orbital track whereby, upon insertion of a ball within the track, and movement of track by the handling arrangement, the ball will be caused to move around the inside of the track. 'Track' means any continuous path which can withstand centrifugal force caused by a motion of a ball around this path.

A compact chassis-integrated slide assembly for use with electronic or other equipment. A movable chassis is translated relative to a stationary rack. Two or more slide guides are fastened to each of the two side walls of the chassis. The slide guides are adapted to slidably engage a channel in a floating slide member. The floating slide member supports the chassis while at the same time permitting relative translation of the chassis and the floating slide by means of the slide guide sliding in the channel of the floating slide. The floating slide in turn slidably engages a rack sheath where the rack sheath is adapted to be rigidly attached to the stationary rack.
