Modular data centers with modular components suitable for use with rack or shelf mount computing systems, for example, are disclosed. The modular center generally includes a modular computing module including an intermodal shipping container and computing systems mounted within the container and configured to be shipped and operated within the container and a temperature control system for maintaining the air temperature surrounding the computing systems. The intermodal shipping container may be configured in accordance to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) container manufacturing standards or otherwise configured with respect to height, length, width, weight, and / or lifting points of the container for transport via an intermodal transport infrastructure. The modular design enables the modules to be cost effectively built at a factory and easily transported to and deployed at a data center site.

A method of and apparatus for regulating carbon dioxide using a pre-injection assembly coupled to a processing chamber operating at a supercritical state is disclosed. The method and apparatus utilize a source for providing supercritical carbon dioxide to the pre-injection assembly and a temperature control element for maintaining the pre-injection region at a supercritical temperature and pressure.

An exemplary apparatus and method of forming a ruthenium tetroxide containing gas to form a ruthenium containing layer on a surface of a substrate is described herein. The method and apparatus described herein may be especially useful for fabricating electronic devices that are formed on a surface of the substrate or wafer. Generally, the method includes exposing a surface of a substrate to a ruthenium tetroxide vapor to form a catalytic layer on the surface of a substrate and then filling the device structures by an electroless, electroplating, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced CVD (PECVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD) or plasma enhanced ALD (PE-ALD) processes. In one embodiment, the ruthenium containing layer is formed on a surface of a substrate by creating ruthenium tetroxide in an external vessel and then delivering the generated ruthenium tetroxide gas to a surface of a temperature controlled substrate positioned in a processing chamber. In one embodiment, a ruthenium tetroxide containing solvent formation process is used to form ruthenium tetroxide using a ruthenium tetroxide containing source material. In one embodiment, of a ruthenium containing layer is formed on a surface of a substrate, using the ruthenium tetroxide containing solvent. In another embodiment, the solvent is separated from the ruthenium tetroxide containing solvent mixture and the remaining ruthenium tetroxide is used to form a ruthenium containing layer on the surface of a substrate.

A method and system for accepting order and scheduling delivery of meals to buyers. A Mobile Pickup Station (MPS) server is placed within a computer network and lists a number of participating restaurants on its web site. A buyer logs onto the MPS web site to order food from a participating restaurant. The server passes the order to the participating restaurant for production. An optimal pickup location is selected and the order is picked up from the participating restaurant and is delivered to the pickup location for pickup. A temperature-controlled truck enclosing the buyer order is dispatched to the pickup location. The truck is then stationed at the pickup location for a determined period of time waiting for buyers to pick up their orders.

A temperature sensor (10) includes: a temperature-sensing portion for measuring a temperature of an object (50) by contacting the object; and a supporting portion for supporting the temperature-sensing portion from a side opposite to a contact surface, the supporting portion having a space at a portion partially corresponding to the temperature-sensing portion. A temperature controller includes: a temperature control device; the temperature sensor (10) for measuring the temperature by contacting the object (50); and a controller for controlling the temperature control device. The controller includes: a mounting-state judging means for judging a mounting-state of the object (50); a switching means for switching a control gain and a target temperature of the temperature control device based on the judging result; and a control-command generating means for generating a control command based on the control gain, the target temperature and a measurement value of the temperature sensor (10).
