Patent number: 11970766Abstract: Examples of the disclosure relate to a sequential infiltration synthesis apparatus comprising: a reaction chamber constructed and arranged to accommodate at least one substrate; a first precursor flow path to provide the first precursor to the reaction chamber when a first flow controller is activated; a second precursor flow path to provide a second precursor to the reaction chamber when a second flow controller is activated; a removal flow path to allow removal of gas from the reaction chamber; a removal flow controller to create a gas flow in the reaction chamber to the removal flow path when the removal flow controller is activated; and, a sequence controller operably connected to the first, second and removal flow controllers and the sequence controller being programmed to enable infiltration of an infiltrateable material provided on the substrate in the reaction chamber. The apparatus may be provided with a heating system.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ASM IP Holding B.V.Inventors: Ivo Johannes Raaijmakers, Jan Willem Maes, Werner Knaepen, Krzysztof Kamil Kachel

Patent number: 9047565Abstract: An intelligent plant development library environment is presented. Contemplated environments comprise an EPC knowledge system capable of incorporating know-how of one or more construction firms in the form of assembly objects. Assembly objects represent construction components (e.g., bolts, cable trays, pipes, processing units, deliverables, etc.) that can be incorporated into a plant design. Assembly objects are stored in an assembly database and include available contexts considered relevant to the assembly objects. An inference engine is utilized to derive a specified context related to a plant design from one or more design tools. The inference engine applies rule sets to infer which assembly objects to instantiate as construction objects. The inference engine can further configure the design tools to incorporate the instantiated construction objects into a plant construction project model.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: FLUOR TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Ivo Willems, Michael Pye, Onno Paap

Patent number: 8510142Abstract: An expert system for providing optimized recommendations regarding a construction project is configured to generate conflicting optimization recommendations. Multiple expert system engines are implemented, where each engine provides one or more recommendations optimized in accordance with the priorities of a functional discipline. A conflict engine will identify conflicts between optimized recommendations and will package the conflicts into conflict objects that are presented to a conflict user interface for resolution. The user could resolve the conflicts him/herself, or could configure a cross-functional conflict object to resolve such conflicts based upon specified resolution criteria.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Fluor Technologies CorporationInventors: Ivo Willems, Michael Pye

Publication number: 20130132146Abstract: In methods for managing congestion points of a plant lifecycle, access can be provided to a project database, as well as a congestion engine coupled with the project database. The congestion engine can be used to analyze project designs, resources, and activities. At least one congestion object can be generated based at least in part upon the analysis of the congestion engine. A project interface can be configured to present the at least one congestion object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicant: FLUOR TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Pye, Ivo Willems

Publication number: 20130110573Abstract: A capital project optimization tool is presented. Engineers can interact with the tool by submitting one or more capital project components to an optimization engine. A current component can be correlated with historical components to identify if similar historical components have been used in similar circumstances. If so the engine can determine if the similar historical components where over-engineered. Alternatives components can be found that would have a better satisfaction level for historical or current project requirements. The alternative components can also have a different level of estimated impact on one or more project metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: FLUOR TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael PYE, Ivo WILLEMS
