Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a semiconductor processing tool. In an embodiment, the semiconductor processing tool comprises a chamber, a pedestal in the chamber, and a first gas feed system on a first side of the pedestal. In an embodiment, the first gas feed system comprises a first exhaust line with a first valve to open and close the first exhaust line, and a first source gas feed line with a second valve to open and close the first source gas feed line. In an embodiment, the semiconductor processing tool further comprises a second gas feed system on a second side of the pedestal. In an embodiment, the second gas feed system comprises a second exhaust line with a third valve to open and close the second exhaust line, and a second source gas feed line with a fourth valve to open and close the second source gas feed line.

Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for determining, assigning and directing containers for transshipment between facilities without using an item-level sortation process and moving containers from a receiving area of a facility to an outbound dock without placing the items into inventory. A facility may or may not have item-level sortation processing. Data indicating received items is received. A determination is made for which of the received containers are for transshipment from the materials handling facility based on multiple factors. Containers in receiving that are determined for transshipment may be directed from receive to outbound docks without placing the items into inventory and without using an item-level sortation process. Pallets may be transshipped without placing the items into inventory and without depalletization.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for consolidating multiple pickings of an item to fulfill multiple shipments into a single picking of the multiple items. A determination is first made whether a metric representing a plurality of shipments exceeds a threshold, wherein individual ones of the plurality of shipments are mapped to corresponding ones of a plurality of item locations in a fulfillment center. The plurality of shipments are then remapped to an individual one of the plurality of item locations in response to a determination that the metric exceeds the threshold. Finally, a picking of the items is initiated.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices and systems associated with generating a textual explanation of a route including POI information are disclosed.

Abstract: Construction of an index of assets comprises a computer having program code executing within a memory of the computer so as to define a universe of eligible companies using one or more filter criteria provided by a user. The companies in the eligible universe are ranked with regard to one or more parameters, each of which represents objective accounting-based data of the respective company. Respective rankings of each company are transformed into respective composite scores. A relative ranking among an index-component subset of the companies in the eligible universe is defined using the each index component's composite score in relation to the composite score of the other index components. In this way, a relative composite score results, which is used to weight the index components. The weighting results are output to the user. A method for such index construction is also disclosed.
