US Classification:

235376, 235375, 235380

Abstract:

A centrally tracked artificial currency is provided within the context of an enterprise. This currency serves as a unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value in a corporate “attention economy. ” Users (typically coworkers) in the enterprise are allotted a base number of currency units, which they can earn, exchange, and spend in a variety of ways to signal importance and “purchase” attention of others, or priority for other organization resources. In one aspect, senders of messages can specify an amount of currency to be associated with the message, so that recipients can see the specified amount before deciding whether to read the message. Once such a system is in use, it facilitates exchange of value based on user-created transactions regarding behavior, communication, resources, incentives, and priorities.

Abstract:

In one embodiment a chamber body enabling semiconductor processing equipment to be at least partially housed in the chamber body, the semiconductor processing equipment being configured to process a substrate using fluids is disclosed. The chamber body being comprised of a base material implemented to form the chamber body, the chamber body defined by at least a bottom surface and wall surfaces that are integrally connected to the bottom surface to enable capture of overflows of fluids during the processing of the substrate over the chamber body. Additionally, the base material is metallic. The chamber body also has a primer coat material disposed over and on the base material. The primer coat material has metallic constituents to define an integrated bond with the base material along with non-metallic constituents. The chamber body further includes a main coat material disposed over and on the primer coat material. The main coat material being defined from non-metallic constituents, the non-metallic constituents of the main coat material defining an integrated bond with the primer coat material. The main coat material defined to completely overlie all the metallic constituents of the primer coat.
