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.

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.

A pillowcase alone and in combination with a unique pillow design which provides an interior pocket open at an outer margin thereof for receiving and protectively storing small articles or objects such as a watch, jewelry, small personal mementos, notes and cards, photos, soft sculptures and the like. In the preferred embodiment, the pillowcase has a generally rectangular shape adapted to receive and cover two thin pillows together, or alternately, a conventional pillow. A pocket, smaller than the main portion of the pillowcase, formed continuously with, or as an extension of, each side panel of the pillowcase, is sewn together around exposed outer margins thereof. When folded inwardly, the pocket is positioned or tucked within the interior of the pillowcase against a conventional pillow, between or against two thin pillows, or within or against a pillow with a pocket-receiving cavity. The pocket is then open to receive the articles.

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

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.
