The invention provides systems and methods for power connection, which may be a sealed power connection. The sealed power connection may be used with an electric machine or any device that may require electrical and/or mechanical connection for power. The sealed power connection may provide an effective electrical connection while providing a robust mechanical connection. The electric machine or device may be fluid-sealed and/or fluid-cooled. The sealed power connection may provide for electrical insulation of the connection from the machine or device enclosure, and may also be sealed to provide for fluid sealing and/or internal fluid cooling of the electric machine or device, as well as fluid cooling of the connection.

The invention provides systems and methods for cooling and lubrication of high power density electric machines with an enhanced fluid injection system. Multiple fluid flow passages may be provided within the electric machine, which may include a stator fluid flow pathway between the stator and the machine housing. The stator fluid flow pathway may comprise one or more passages which may allow a fluid to directly contact the stator and the rotor. A method for cooling the electric machine may include directing a fluid to flow through one or more passages between the stator and the housing, which may provide the opportunity to transfer heat from the stator and the rotor to the fluid, thereby cooling the stator and the rotor.

The invention provides systems and methods for cooling and lubrication of high power density electric machines with an enhanced fluid injection system. Multiple fluid flow passages may be provided within the electric machine, which may include one or more bearing fluid flow pathways and one or more rotor fluid flow pathways. The bearing fluid flow pathway may comprise one or more passages which may direct a fluid to contact one or more bearings. The rotor fluid flow pathway may comprise one or more passages which may direct a fluid along the rotatable shaft toward the rotor and stator. A method for cooling and lubricating the electric machine may include directing a fluid to flow through a bearing fluid flow pathway for lubrication and cooling of one or more bearings, and then sequentially flow through a rotor fluid flow pathway for cooling of the rotor and stator.

A cluster tool architecture and method are provided for processing substrates by exposure to a process environment, including a reactive gas, such as sulfur trioxide, as well as prior and subsequent treatments thereto. The cluster tool architecture comprises: (a) an atmospheric processing area, maintained at atmospheric pressure or higher; (b) cassette means for introducing a plurality of the substrates into the atmospheric processing area; (c) at least one process station in the atmospheric processing area; (d) an enclosed vacuum processing area, maintained at a vacuum pressure; (e) a first buffer station between the atmospheric processing area and the enclosed vacuum processing area; (f) at least one process station in the enclosed vacuum processing area isolated from the enclosed vacuum processing area by an isolation valve for exposing the substrates to the process environment; (g) a second buffer station between the atmospheric processing area and the enclosed vacuum processing area; (h) an atmospheric transfer arm in the atmospheric processing area for transferring the substrates from the cassette means between one of the buffer stations and at least one process station in the atmospheric processing area and then to the cassette means; and (i) a vacuum transfer arm in the enclosed vacuum processing area for transferring the substrates from one of the buffer stations to one of the vacuum process stations in the enclosed vacuum processing area and from that vacuum process station in the enclosed vacuum processing area to the buffer station, wherein both buffer stations are equally accessible to both the atmospheric transfer arm and the vacuum transfer arm. The cluster tool architecture integrates atmospheric or high pressure processing with vacuum processing. Since integration allows random access, there is a freedom of programming process flow.
