A holder is disclosed for a cassette for substrates. The holder includes a base plate on which a guide member provided with at least two guides is secured. The cassette is to be positioned between the guides, which enable the cassette to be aligned with respect to the base plate, and the side of which facing the base plate tapers inwards and downwards. The application of such a holder in an apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices is still hampered as a result of incorrectly positioning the holder in the apparatus. This can lead to damage to the substrates and a lower yield of the manufacturing process. The side of the guide member tapers inwards and upwards. By virtue of this structure, the cassette can be positioned more accurately and reproducibly into the holder. In this way, damage to substrates is avoided and the yield is high. The guide member may be mirror symmetrical and can include two separate guide members, which are mirror symmetrical as well. As a result, the holder can be mounted, adjusted and manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner.

A circuit breaker having internal power monitoring and data signal generating apparatus, and a system for utilizing such a circuit breaker in a facility having a plurality of tenants served by branch circuits from a plurality of distribution panels. The circuit breaker radiates signals indicative of power consumption of the branch circuit protected thereby, together with a unique address identifier tied to one tenant.

The present invention is an ultrasonic thrombectomy catheter that produces physical forces (shear rates) strong enough to emulsify obstructions such as thrombi and emboli without causing damage to arterial walls. This is accomplished by properly arranging piezoelectric transducers within a catheter and a tubular catheter head separated by a gap to generate acoustic streaming that simultaneously emulsifies the obstruction and sweeps resulting debris into a catheter lumen for removal. The open gap may be formed by supporting struts that connect the catheter to the catheter head. The design of the catheter tip allows the fabrication of catheters capable of removing partial or complete blockages from arteries and other vessels having diameters as small as 2 mm.

Phased-array antenna systems can be constructed using transfer printed active components. Phased-array antenna systems benefit from a large number of radiating elements (e.g., more radiating elements can form sharper, narrower beams (higher gain)). As the number of radiating elements increases, the size of the part and the cost of assembly increases. High throughput micro assembly (e.g. by micro-transfer printing) mitigates costs associated with high part-count. Micro assembly is advantaged over monolithic approaches that form multiple radiating elements on a semiconductor wafer because micro assembly uses less semiconductor material to provide the active components that are necessary for the array. The density of active components on the phased-array antenna system is small. Micro assembly provides a way to efficiently use semiconductor material on a phased array, reducing the amount of non-active semiconductor area (e.g., the area on the semiconductor material that does not include transistors, diodes, or other active components).
