In one implementation, a chamber is selected that accommodates an array of die structures that comprises one or more cavities. An inner chamber of the chamber is maintained at a first temperature. An alkali metal source of the chamber is maintained at a second temperature greater than the first temperature. An outer chamber of the chamber is maintained at a third temperature greater than the first temperature and the second temperature. The one or more cavities of the array of die structures are filled with a portion of the alkali metal source. The one or more cavities of the array of die structures are sealed to comprise the portion of the alkali metal source.

Middle layer of die structure that comprises a cavity that holds an alkali metal

Sampling machine

An apparatus in one example comprises a die structure that comprises a middle layer, a first outside layer, and a second outside layer. The middle layer comprises a cavity that holds an alkali metal, and one of the first outside layer and the second outside layer comprises a channel that leads to the cavity. The middle layer, the first outside layer, and the second outside layer comprise dies from one or more wafer substrates.

The present invention provides a method for shaping a mask to reduce coating non-uniformity in the radial direction. A test run of the ion beam sputtering system coats a stationary glass plate having the same area and shape as the platen. The resulting coating thickness is measured across the surface of the glass plate and plotted as a function of position. This is the plot of the flux distribution. The coating rate pattern is determined by coating thickness by coating time. The desired width of the mask, which takes the form of a segment of a radial band is adjusted to obtain the desired average coating rate for the entire segment, masked and unmasked. This is repeated for each radial band. All these radial widths put together design the functional form of the mask, the use of which provides a uniform coating of the platen in a radial direction.

A flexible interlink for joining a first sensor of the type that includes a cylindrical mandrel for mounting a common optical fiber to a second sensor of a hydrophone that includes a cylindrical mandrel for mounting said fiber. The interlink includes an integral molded body of flexible material. Enlarged diameter ends are joined to the link by outwardly-tapered transition members. Resilient metal washers are fixed to the ends for locking onto the sensor. The washer includes radial elements that abut corresponding radial elements of the end. The radial elements of the washer are outwardly inclined, of greater length than the corresponding radial elements of the end and exceed the inner diameter of the sensor from tip to tip.

Flexible interlink for hydrophone array

The invention uses an ion beam to polish a rotatable substrate from an oblique angle between the horizontal and the center line of the gun to the substrate to upgrade the quality of substrates. Alternatively, the substrates are left in the high vacuum chamber without breaking the vacuum for in-situ deposition of thin films thereby avoiding contamination, and to provide premium optics. A wobble stick arrangement is provided to align the ellipsometer reflected beam with the ellipsometer detector during operation without breaking the vacuum which, if broken, would admit contamination.

An electrical human skin treatment apparatus which comprises a housing within which is incorporated an electrical circuit. The housing includes a pair of terminals which are spaced apart. The user's hand must be in contact with one terminal with the other terminal to be in contact with the area of application such as the face or neck of the user. The electrical circuit includes a slow voltage current rise to minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the user. A switch is incorporated on the exterior of the housing to not only activate the apparatus, but also to select anaphoresis or cataphoresis.

Hand holdable human skin treatment apparatus

There is disclosed a magnetic alignment device and method for its fabrication in which the aligned magnetic moments of a gas enclosed within a container have an increased relaxation time, hence an increase signal to noise output. One embodiment is a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope including a container for gas having a layer of rubidium hydride on its inner surface. Enclosed within the container is rubidium vapor and xenon-131 gas. The layer of rubidium hydride is manufactured by reacting hydrogen gas and rubidium at a temperature between approximately 70.degree. and about 250.degree. C. In one specific method, a layer of rubidium hydride is formed by heating rubidium and hydrogen gas at about 85.degree. for about 7 days.
