摘要:
A system and method for disinfecting contact lenses produces ozone from the water in which the contact lenses are submerged, thus avoiding the need to supply ozone from an external source. Ozone is created by an electrolytic cell including a diamond electrode, which is submerged in the water with the contact lenses to be disinfected. The diamond electrode may include a number of fingers, and may be fabricated from a diamond blank.

An apparatus has a hub including a water inlet for receiving source water, a water outlet for discharging ozonated water, and an interface between the water inlet and the water outlet. The apparatus also has a cartridge including an electrolytic cell for ozonating the source water. The electrolytic cell has a cathode, an anode comprising diamond, and a membrane between the cathode and the anode. The electrolytic cell is configured to flow source water through both the cathode and the anode. The cartridge further includes at least one cartridge port for removably coupling with the interface on the hub. The at least one cartridge port and the interface are configured to flow source water from the hub into the electrolytic cell and to flow ozonated water from the electrolytic cell into the hub.

The present invention is directed to a semiconductor thermal processing system and an apparatus for thermally cooling a semiconductor substrate. According to one aspect of the present invention, a semiconductor thermal processing system and associated apparatus and method are disclosed which provides a segmented cold plate situated within a process chamber, wherein a plurality of segments of the cold plate are operable to radially translate between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein a substrate holder may pass between the plurality of segments when the segments are in the disengaged position. According to another aspect, an elevator is operable to linearly translate a substrate residing on a substrate holder between a heating position proximate to a heater assembly and a cooling position proximate to the segmented cold plate. According to another aspect, the cold plate comprises a plurality of holes through which one or more gases may flow, wherein an amount or mixture of the one or more gases is controllable via a controller, and wherein one or more temperature sensors are operable to provide temperature feedback at the substrate. According to another aspect the substrate resides within close proximity to the cold plate, wherein when gas is flowed through the holes, the substrate is cooled in the viscous regime, and the amount and/or mixture of gases flowed through the holes is controlled, based, at least in part, on the one or more measured temperatures.

An apparatus has a tank with an interior for containing water, a nozzle for directing ozonated water out of the spray apparatus, and an electrolytic cell located between the nozzle and the tank. The electrolytic cell is configured to ozonate water as the water flows from the tank to the nozzle. The apparatus also includes a power source for providing electric potential to the electrolytic cell. The tank, nozzle, and electrolytic cell all are part of a single spray bottle or dispenser (e.g., like a soap dispenser).

A pressure control system that controls the pressure of a fluid in a plurality of zones includes a distribution manifold, at least one main manifold connected to the distribution manifold, and at least one disposable manifold connected to the distribution manifold and the main manifold. The disposable manifold is adapted to be replaced independent of the distribution manifold and the main manifold, and is connected to each zone and to at least one vacuum source. The distribution manifold distributes the fluid to the plurality of zones, so as to cause flow of the fluid into and out of a measurement chamber located within each zone. The main manifold includes, for each zone, a pressure sensor configured to measure pressure in the measurement chamber in that zone, and a control valve configured to regulate the flow of the fluid through that zone.
