Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selected regions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperature modification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter within which a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette is attached to the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette being sized to engage a cavity within a control unit. The control unit includes a heater/cooler device for providing heated or cooled fluid to a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the fluid heat exchange medium circulating to the heat exchange catheter, a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensors around the body and the system. A temperature control scheme for ramping the body temperature up or down without overshoot is provided.

A compact, volatile organic compound removal system is presented. The system has a metal condensation plate and a cooling source in intimate thermal contact with the metal condensation plate. The metal condensation plate has a channel formed in the plate, an inlet in the condensation plate for introducing a gas carrying volatile organic compound vapors into the channel, a high surface area metallic structure, such as foamed metal or metallic fins, in intimate contact with the walls of the channel, an outlet in the condensation plate for removing the gas from the channel and a drain in the condensation plate for removing volatile organic compound condensates from the channel. The cooling source cools the channel walls and the high surface area metallic structure so that the volatile organic compound vapors condense on the high surface area metallic structure to be removed from the gas.

A process for filling high aspect ratio gaps on substrates uses conventional high density plasma deposition processes, with an efficient sputtering inert gas, such as Ar, replaced or reduced with an He inefficient sputtering inert gas such as He. By reducing the sputtering component, sidewall deposition from the sputtered material is reduced. Consequently, gaps with aspect ratios of 6.0:1 and higher can be filled without the formation of voids and without damaging circuit elements.

A novel thermoelectric liquid heat exchange device for corrosive or high purity liquids is provided for. The heat exchange device has an array thermoelectric modules, with first and second heat exchanger plates arranged so as to sandwich the thermoelectric modules between the heat exchanger plates. One of the heat exchanger plates has a thermally conductive metal base plate, plastic tubing and a cover plate. The base plate has a flat side contacting the thermoelectric modules, and an opposing side with grooves of a preselected depth. The plastic tubing has a diameter to match the depth of the grooves so that the tubing engages the grooves. The cover plate is fastened to the base plate and over the plastic tubing in the grooves of the base plate to press the tubing into the grooves to improve thermal contact between the plastic tubing and the base plate. The plastic tubing carries the corrosive or high purity liquids for heating or cooling by the operation of the thermoelectric modules and the other heat exchanger plate.

In accordance with the invention, a method of depositing substituted fluorocarbon polymeric layers exhibiting a high degree of cross-linking is presented. The substituted fluorocarbon polymeric layers are formed of substituted fluorocarbon polymers in which the carbon functionality in standard fluorocarbon polymers is selectively replaced with a substitute functionality, typically silicon, oxygen or nitrogen. Formation of a substituted fluorocarbon polymeric layer includes placing a substrate into a reactor and, while maintaining the reactor pressure below 100 torr, introducing a process gas into the reactor. Optionally, the substrate is biased. The process gas is then ionized thereby depositing the substituted fluorocarbon polymeric layer on the substrate.

A system for humidifying air while generating a tornado-like air flow pattern highlighted by water aerosol is described. The system includes air flow devices which generate a circular tornado-like air flow, a water aerosol generator, and a means of injecting the water aerosol into the circular air pattern to produce a visible tornado. Air is blown parallel to and within two opposing parabolic plates, creating a circular flow pattern. Air is exhausted out the top of the device at the center point between the plates, creating an updraft. Water aerosol wafts into the bottom of the circular air flow, gets caught in the upwardly spinning air flow, and exits through the top of the device. A model of a tornado is created and maintained. Also, the water aerosol humidifies the air in the room as it exits the device.
