MATERIAL DEPOSITION DEVICE
A material deposition device for decorating an object. The device has a housing as a structural framework, an object holder, and a container releasably coupled to the housing. The housing has an object support for supporting the object to be decorated. The container creates a volumetric enclosure with the housing. The device is configured to deposit decoration materials onto the object.
Low-particle gas enclosure systems and methods
A method comprises processing a substrate in a gas enclosure to form a film on one or more portions of the substrate. The method further comprises, while processing the substrate, circulating gas along a circulation path through the gas enclosure. Circulating the gas may comprise flowing gas through an exhaust housing enclosing a printhead assembly housed in the gas enclosure and filtering the gas flowing downstream of the printhead assembly from the exhaust housing.

Scrubber unit for a paint booth
A paint booth assembly includes a paint booth having a pair of side walls and a flood sheet extending between the pair of side walls to separate the paint booth between a spray portion disposed above the flood sheet and a paint recovery portion disposed below the flood sheet. The flood sheet defines at least one flood sheet opening, and a scrubber unit extends down from the flood sheet opening to establish a shared path of fluid communication of a flow of water from the flood sheet and a downdraft of process air from the spray portion to the paint recovery portion. A scrubber pod is disposed within the scrubber unit and defines a plurality of perforations to induce an initial mixing of the paint particles entrained in the downdraft of process air into the flow of water.

EQUIPMENT FRONT END MODULES WITH INDUCED GAS MIXING, AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
An equipment front end module (EFEM) having walls, a first wall including one or more load ports and an EFEM chamber formed between the walls. The EFEM further includes an upper plenum at a top of the EFEM and including an opening into the EFEM chamber. Ducts provide a return gas flow path enabling recirculation of gas from the EFEM chamber to the upper plenum, the ducts proximate the one or more load ports. The one or more ducts includes flow elements configured to cause a low pressure condition at a location of the one or more load ports.

SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS
A substrate processing apparatus may include a chamber having a working space, maintaining a vacuum state, and including an upper wall positioned on the working space, a nozzle assembly positioned in the working space, and including nozzles, and a lifting module including a frame positioned outside of the chamber, a lifting part that lifts the frame, and at least one shaft passing through the upper wall, connected to each of the frame and the nozzle assembly, and extending in a direction of gravity.

Welding fume extractor
A fume extraction hood is designed to be positioned above a welding, cutting, or other metal-working location and to remove hot gases, smoke and fumes produced during these processes. The hood forms a box-like structure with an extractor rail structure disposed in an internal volume of the hood. The extractor rail structure comprises panels that force sharp turns in the gases, causing particulate matter to drop out of the gases both outside and inside the extractor rail. A primary path for gases accelerates and re-directs the gases entering into the extractor rail, and within the rail. The rail may form a dropout tray that can be removed for cleanout of collected particulate. The side and end rails of the hood may create a secondary path for gas not directly intaken into the extractor rail. This secondary path is re-directed towards the extractor rail, where gas is collected and particulate is forced to drop out as it joins the primary path.
