A dish dryer/warmer which is powered by steam that is exhausted from a steam kettle. A hollow inserts fits into a spout on the kettle and a hose connects the spout to the dish dryer. The steam is then funneled into the dish dryer. A set of holders inside the dish dryer are mechanically activated based on what, so that if a dish is placed into a holder then steam will be discharged directly into that holder, thereby warming the respective dish. A plurality of such holders can be present inside the dish dryer and each one is selectively activated to discharge steam when an object is placed inside a respective holder. All of the holders in the dish dryer share the same steam source (the kettle or other source).

Steam driven dish warmer

An apparatus for testing of electrical or physical properties of a material include a single coil sensor mounted adjacent to a sample of the material. Sheet conductance of a wide variety of materials may be measured using the single coil to determine if the material conforms to generally accepted standards for the use to which the material will be put. In some examples, the material is a semiconductor wafer or flat panel. In other examples, the material is the body tissue of a patient. A non-invasive technique using the apparatus is also disclosed for monitoring the health of patient tissue such as musculature, and/or to determine whether healthy circulation is present, by measuring the conductance of the patient tissue in response to a magnetic field applied by the single coil. The single coil may be hand held, or it may be movable using an automated positioning system under computer control.

Sheet conductance/resistance measurement system

An apparatus () for contactless measurement of sheet charge density and mobility includes a microwave source (), a circular waveguide () for transmitting microwave power to a sample (), such as a semiconductor wafer or panel for flat panel displays, at a measurement location, a first detector () for detecting the forward microwave power, a second detector () for detecting the microwave power reflected from the sample, and a third detector () for detecting the Hall effect power. An automatic positioning subsystem () is also provided for allowing automatic positioning of a wafer () within the test apparatus (). The positioning system () includes a first end effector () and a rotator-lifter (). The first end effector () can grasp a sheet element () and move it to a desired position within the test apparatus (), while the rotator lifter () provides incremental adjustment of a theta angle of the sheet element () to allow automated mapping of an entire sheet element without the need for manual adjustment of the position of the sheet element. A second end effector () can be mounted opposite the first end effector () and can be used to automatically position the sheet element () within a sheet resistance testing module () located at an opposite end of the apparatus ().

Device and handling system for measurement of mobility and sheet charge density

An apparatus for contactless measurement of sheet charge density and mobility includes a microwave source, waveguide, first, second and third detectors, and an eccentric bore mount for adjusting the sample. A circular waveguide, carrying the TEmode, terminates by the sample behind which a short is located. A magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the sample, and an incident TEwave causes an ordinary reflected wave and a reflected wave caused by the Hall effect. A first detector measures the ordinary reflected wave, which has the same polarization as the incident wave. A seperate probe measures the reflected wave caused by the Hall effect, whose polarization is perpendicular to the former. This reflected wave is detected, and the output combined with an attenuated; phase shifted, portion of the forward power at a single detector, to eliminate by destructive interference any spurious incident signal at said detector.

Method and apparatus for nondestructive measurement and mapping of sheet materials

The Magnum Bullet Dart is a throwing dart which includes a body made from a firearm bullet cartridge of any automatic, semi-automatic, small or large caliber, magnum or regular types. In a first embodiment, a steel point extends from the front of the bullet casing, and a flight shaft of fixed length is attached to the rear of the bullet casing. A user can remove the shaft, and insert or remove weighting material, such as lead shot, into or out of the cartridge through the hole, to adjust the weight of the dart. In a second embodiment, a steel point extends from the front of the bullet casing, and a flight shaft is slidably mounted through a hole in the rear of the casing; the length of the shaft extending rearward of the casing may be adjusted according to the preference of the user. This adjustability does not require the dart owner to purchase different lengths of shafts, thus adding convenience and saving money.
