20140135970 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTONOMOUS TOOL PARAMETER IMPACT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING - A system and method for autonomously determining the impact of respective tool parameters on tool performance in a semiconductor manufacturing system is provided. A parameter impact identification system receives tool parameter and tool performance data for one or more process runs of the semiconductor fabrication system and generates a separate function for each tool parameter characterizing the behavior of a tool performance indicator in terms of a single one of the tool parameters. Each function is then scored according to how well the function predicts the actual behavior of the tool performance indicator, or based on a determined sensitivity of the tool performance indicator to changes in the single tool parameter. The tool parameters are then ranked based on these scores, and a reduced set of critical tool parameters is derived based on the ranking. The tool performance indicator can then be modeled based on this reduced set of tool parameters. | 05-15-2014 |
20140163712 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTONOMOUS IDENTIFICATION OF PARTICLE CONTAMINATION DUE TO ISOLATED PROCESS EVENTS AND SYSTEMATIC TRENDS - A system and method for autonomously tracing a cause of particle contamination during semiconductor manufacture is provided. A contamination analysis system analyzes tool process logs together with particle contamination data for multiple process runs to determine a relationship between systematic particle contamination levels and one or more tool parameters. This relationship is used to predict expected contamination levels associated with regular usage of the tool, and to identify which tool parameters have the largest impact on expected levels of particle contamination. The contamination analysis system also identifies process logs showing unexpected deviant particle contamination levels that exceed expected contamination levels, and traces the cause of the deviant particle contamination to particular process log parameter events. | 06-12-2014 |

20100040345 | AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF PROGRAM SUBJECT MATTER AND SCHEDULING PADDING - A DVR user instructs the DVR to record a program. The DVR determines whether the program is of a particular type. If the program is of the particular type, then the DVR presents, to the DVR user, a user interface that enables the DVR user to alter the parameters of the time interval during which the DVR will record the program. After the user has modified the recording time parameters (e.g., start and end recording times) for the program using DVR-presented user interfaces, the DVR stores the modified recording time parameters on the DVR's hard disk drive. The DVR then automatically records the program, beginning and ending at the stored times as modified by the DVR user (rather than the EPG data-specified times). | 02-18-2010 |
20110154407 | Broadcast Program Recording Overrun and Underrun Scheduling System - A broadcast program recording overrun and underrun scheduling system provides a system for adjusting the start and end times of a broadcast program's recording schedule that has a start and end broadcast time. The viewer selects a particular broadcast program to record from the program guide using a remote input device. The system schedules the broadcast program to be recorded by inserting the program's information such as program identifier, start and end times, and storage duration into a recording schedule database. The system allows the viewer to adjust the scheduled start and/or end recording times for a broadcast program by specifying the time increment to add or subtract from the start and/or end recording times of a specific program or series of programs. | 06-23-2011 |

20090089047 | Natural Language Hypernym Weighting For Word Sense Disambiguation - Technologies are described herein for probabilistically assigning weights to word senses and hypernyms of a word. The weights can be used in natural language processing applications such as information indexing and querying. A word hypernym weight (WHW) score can be determined by summing word sense probabilities of word senses from which the hypernym is inherited. WHW scores can be used to prune away hypernyms prior to indexing, to rank query results, and for other functions related to information indexing and querying. A semantic search technique can use WHW scores to retrieve an entry related to a word from an index in response to matching an indexed hypernym of the word with a query term applied to the index. More refined and accurate query results may be provided based on reduced user inputs. | 04-02-2009 |
20090094019 | Efficiently Representing Word Sense Probabilities - Word sense probabilities are compressed for storage in a semantic index. Each word sense for a word is mapped to one of a number of “buckets” by assigning a bucket score to the word sense. A scoring function is utilized to assign the bucket scores that maximizes the entropy of the assigned bucket scores. Once the bucket scores have been assigned to the word senses, the bucket scores are stored in the semantic index. The bucket scores stored in the semantic index may be utilized to prune one or more of the word senses prior to construction of the semantic index. The bucket scores may also be utilized to prune and rank the word senses at the time a query is performed using the semantic index. | 04-09-2009 |

20090045559 | SWITCH HOUSING FOR GAS SPRING - A switch housing is shaped to be coupled to a gas spring and includes a limit switch having a control element which is moved to actuate the limit switch when the gas spring rod moves between first and second positions. The housing includes a cylindrical aperture for receiving the body of a gas spring with one end of the aperture including an annular wall and a coupling for attaching to the rod of a gas spring. In one embodiment the housing mounts the limit switch in offset relationship to the cylindrical aperture with the control element of the switch extending into the aperture to be actuated by the body of a gas spring. | 02-19-2009 |
20130119590 | LOCKABLE FLUID STRUT WITH FRANGIBLE LOCK - A fluid strut includes a frangible locking member including a generally cylindrical locking pin mounted to an outer cylindrical housing of the strut and extending radially inwardly toward a gas spring cylinder. The locking pin is movable between operative and inoperative positions. In the operative position, the spring-loaded frangible locking pin extends into engagement with the gas cylinder and can advance radially to a locking position once the outer housing extends beyond the location of the gas cylinder. In an inoperative position, the locking pin is held in a retracted position. The end of the locking pin has a reduced diameter, such that, if a purposeful force is placed upon the strut when in a locked position, the pin can shear, allowing the rod to be retracted within the cylinder and the closure member to be closed without damage. | 05-16-2013 |
