Abstract: A method of activating a downhole tool can include configuring the tool having an electrical power source, an electrical load, control circuitry which controls the electrical load, and a switch which selectively permits current flow between the power source and the circuitry, and generating electricity, thereby causing the switch to permit current flow between the power source and the circuitry. A downhole tool can include an electrical power source, an electrical load, control circuitry, a switch which selectively permits current flow between the power source and the circuitry, and a generator. Another method can include displacing a fluid and/or an object at the tool, generating electricity in response to the displacing, permitting current flow between an electrical power source and a control circuitry in response to the generating and, after the permitting and in response to detection of a predetermined signal, the circuitry causing activation of an electrical load.
Abstract: A precision pump system having a motor driver for accurately and repeatedly delivering process fluid, (e.g., photo chemicals) using a pumping fluid with minimal process fluid loss to a fabrication process and whereby the motor driver can be easily and quickly replaced without interrupting the fluid flow path. This is accomplished with the use of a process fluid reservoir and a pumping fluid reservoir that are associated with the pump, either integrated with the pump or closely adjacent. In addition, this precision pump system can be remotely monitored, viewed and controlled over the Internet. In addition, trapped process fluid within a downstream filtering block can be recirculated to the process fluid reservoir when trapped gas in the filter is removed. Furthermore, a nitrogen gas source is connected to the process fluid reservoir via a valve in case a need to insert a gas is required.
Abstract: A sealing disk mounting assembly for a regulator includes a mounting member adapted to be operatively attached to a tubular member of a control member assembly of a regulator, a disk holder operatively attached to the mounting member, and an annular sealing disk disposed in an annular channel that is formed between the mounting member and the disk holder. The annular sealing disk is mechanically retained between the mounting member and the disk holder by compressive forces.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory, a controller, and a communication bus coupled to the memory and to the controller. The controller is configured to send a read-write command and write data to the memory via the communication bus. The read-write command indicates an address of requested data to be read from the memory. The controller is further configured to receive the requested data read from the memory. Communicating the requested data over the communication bus overlaps the write data being stored into the memory.
