Bicycles Flexible Substrates in the Airco E-Beam Evaporator Floor waxing Health & Wellness Fair Seminar Bicycles Bicycles are not allowed in the building. This is a campus wide rule. Even with the weather turning cold, you must park your bikes in the bike rack in front of Birck. 7.03 SPECIAL UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS (a) Bicycles may be parked on campus only in bicycle racks and on bicycle pads provided specifically for this purpose. Motorcycles are not allowed in bicycle parking areas. Bicycles must be ridden on designated campus drives and bike paths. Any bicycles found in violation of these regulations may be removed and/or ticketed with a violation notice. Flexible Substrates in the Airco E-Beam Evaporator We continue to receive a high number of requests from multiple research groups to evaporate standard materials onto flexible substrates of various kinds, such as polyimides, polymers, and flexible roll materials. Because of the nature of these materials, they typically outgas during deposition in our systems so we have restricted flexible substrates to be used in the Varian only. (Base pressures in systems with flexible substrates are higher). However we have had such a high number of requests that we're now going to offer the Airco evaporator as an alternate system for evaporating materials onto flexible substrates. Effective Monday, November 30th the Airco evaporator will become the second e-beam system in which flexible substrates are allowed. We believe that by offering two e-beam systems for flexible substrates we will be able to accommodate more users more efficiently. Please let us know if you have any issues or concerns. Kenny Schwartz Dave Lubelski Floor waxing We are going to try and finish up stripping and waxing the hallways in Birck before the snow comes. Next week we will be working on the 2nd floor west wing hallways. If you have an office, you will not be able to have access to your office until 10:00AM that day. If you need access to a lab, please remember you can use the galley doors for access. Below is the schedule: Monday - BRK 2217 - 2239 (Includes grad students offices) Tuesday - BRK 2261 - 2283 Wednesday - BRK 2251 (All the far west hallway! You will not be able to use the west elevator or west stairwell) Friday - BRK 2287-2295 Please let me know if you have any questions.
