CRYOPUMP AND BAFFLE PLATE FOR CRYOPUMP

A cryopump includes a cryopanel, a main body, and a baffle plate. The cryopanel is connected to a refrigerator. The main body accommodates the cryopanel. The baffle plate is located in a gas inlet of the main body. The baffle plate includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a center of the baffle plate and a first hole extending through the baffle plate. The second portion includes an edge of the baffle plate and a second hole extending through the baffle plate. The second portion has a greater conductance than the first portion.

APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING PLANT COMPOUNDS AND RELATED METHOD

Extraction devices and related methods are disclosed. Extraction devices disclosed may include a hopper, a piston, and an evaporation chamber. The hopper may be filled with a plant material and a solvent. The piston may be removably housed within the hopper so as to form a hermetic seal with the hopper. Once a solvent and extract mixture is formed within the hopper, a valve in the bottom of the hopper may be opened to allow the solvent and extract mixture to flow into the evaporation chamber via gravity. The remaining plant material may be compressed by the piston to remove any remaining solvent and extract mixture. The solvent may be evaporated in the evaporation chamber leaving a purified plant extract. Various types of plant materials may be used within the hopper. Various types of solvents may be used as well, including heptane and hexane.

Lithographic apparatus and cooling method

A lithographic apparatus arranged to project a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate, comprising at least one housing comprising at least one internal wall, at least one optical component arranged within at least one chamber defined at least in part by the at least one internal wall and configured to receive a radiation beam and a cooling apparatus arranged to cool at least a portion of the at least one internal wall to a temperature below that of the at least one optical component.

IN-SITU RESOURCE UTILIZATION-DERIVED WATER PURIFICATION AND HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN PRODUCTION
20220024797 · 2022-01-27 ·

This disclosure provides an integrated system and method for producing purified water, hydrogen, and oxygen from contaminated water. The contaminated water may be derived from regolith-based resources on the moon, Mars, near-Earth asteroids, or other destination in outer space. The integrated system and method utilize a cold trap to receive the contaminated water in a vapor phase and selectively freeze out water from one or more volatiles. A heat source increases temperature in the cold trap to vaporize the frozen contaminated water to produce a gas stream of water vapor and volatiles. A chemical scrubber may remove one or more volatiles. The integrated system and method utilize ionomer membrane technology to separate the water vapor from remaining volatiles. The water vapor is delivered for crew use or delivered to an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
