Disclosed are an atomic layer deposition apparatus using a neutral beam and a method of depositing an atomic layer using the apparatus, capable of converting an ion beam into a neutral beam and radiating it onto a substrate to be treated. The method uses an apparatus for supplying a first reaction gas containing a material that cannot be chemisorbed onto a substrate to be treated into a reaction chamber in which the substrate is loaded, and forming a first reactant adsorption layer containing a material that cannot be chemisorbed onto the substrate; and radiating a neutral beam generated by the second reaction gas onto the substrate on which the first reactant adsorption layer is formed, and removing a material not chemisorbed onto the substrate from the first reactant adsorption layer to form a second reactant adsorption layer. It is possible to perform a process without damage due to charging with the apparatus for depositing an atomic layer using a neutral beam and the method of depositing an atomic layer using the apparatus.

A closure device for a vacuum closure of at least one opening in a wall having a valve place, at least one piston-cylinder unit, at least one carrier unit, at least one cylinder bore hole, at least two sealing rings, and a line.

A body support comprising at least one layer of flexible material having a reticulated cellular structure is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more of these layers comprises reticulated visco-elastic foam, and has at least one material property responsive to temperatures in the range of a user's body heat. In these and other embodiments, one or more of the layers of flexible material comprises non-visco-elastic foam, and can be combined in a body support with one or more layers of visco-elastic foam. The body support can include one or more additional layers of other material types, including one or more layers of high-resilience polyurethane foam. Also, in those embodiments having two or more layers of material, one or more of the layers can have a profiled surface at least partially defining air flow paths through the body support.

A crib shield system includes one or more panels to be used with crib. The panels are formed, at least in part, of a mesh-type material (e.g., an integrated padded mesh material) that includes openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe therethrough. Further, the integrated padded mesh material may be used with one or more other apparatus (e.g., a blanket, a toy, etc.).

A pillow including a viscoelastic sleeve defining a cavity and filler material positioned within the cavity.

A reproducing apparatus for reproducing contents data recorded on a disc-shaped recording medium is disclosed, the apparatus comprising inputting means for inputting a non-real time stream and a real time stream reproduced from the recording medium, storing means for storing the program code that has been input by the inputting means; image data storing means for storing the image data that has been input by the inputting means; first combining means for combining decoded moving picture data and decoded subtitle data; and second combining means for combining the decoded image data and the combined data of the decoded moving picture and the decoded subtitle data in accordance with the program code stored in the code storing means.

Method for manufacturing a tubular, resilient body for pillows, mattresses or the like, which method mainly consists in providing slits (13) in a foam layer (2); in cutting a strip (8) out of this foam layer (2); in bending two opposite ends (11-12) of the strip (8) towards each other; and in fixing both these far ends (11-12) in order to form the aimed tubular, resilient body (1), characterised in that the foam layer (2) is made of what is called a viscoelastic foam (3), and in that at least a part of the cells present in the foam (3) are broken open.

The pillow kit cover member, which includes substantially identical top and bottom portions, each of which includes inner and outer layers. The top and bottom portions are secured around the peripheries thereof, except for one side, which includes a zipper or similar element for opening and closing the pillow. The pillow includes an interior chamber assembly, which comprises baffle members which extend between the inner layers of the top and bottom portions, defining individual chambers which extend the length of the pillow. Filling is provided within the pillow chamber, as well as a plurality of inserts, having various fillings, which are selectively insertable into and removable from the pillow chambers. Different combinations of inserts vary the support characteristics of the pillow.

An electronic pillow including a pillow unit encasing at least one error microphone and at least one loudspeaker in electrical connection with a controller unit, the pillow unit also including a power source, and a reference sensing unit including at least one reference microphone in electrical connection with the controller unit, the controller unit including an algorithm for controlling interactions between the error microphone, loudspeaker, and reference microphone. A method of abating unwanted noise, by detecting an unwanted noise with a reference microphone, analyzing the unwanted noise, producing an anti-noise corresponding to the unwanted noise in a pillow, and abating the unwanted noise. Methods of hands-free communication, recording and monitoring sleep disorders, providing real-time response to emergencies, and playing audio sounds.

Some embodiments of the disclosed pillows have a sleeve of viscoelastic material within which is received and enclosed a plurality of loose pieces of filler material. The sleeve can have one or more openings shaped and dimensioned to provide ventilation for the interior of the pillow and / or to enable a user to insert and remove an inner sleeve within which the filler material is retained. In some embodiments, the inner sleeve has two or more compartments for holding the same or different filler materials having the same or different densities, thereby providing a pillow adapted for different uses and support characteristics.
