  • Batch processing oven and operating methods
    Patent number: 11688621
    Abstract: A batch processing oven comprising a processing chamber and a rack configured to be positioned in the processing chamber. The rack is configured to support a plurality of substrates and a plurality of panels in a stacked manner such that one or more substrates of the plurality of substrates are positioned between at least one pair of adjacent panels of the plurality panels. Vertical gaps separate each substrate of the one or more substrates from an adjacent substrate or panel on either side of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2023
    Assignee: YIELD ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Mark William Curry, Ronald R. Stevens, Craig W. McCoy, Charudatta Galande, Gabriel Ormonde

  • Speed control of variable speed pump
    Patent number: 6739840
    Abstract: Method, article of manufacture and apparatus for monitoring operating characteristics of a system comprising a variable speed vacuum pump. Operating characteristics reflective of gas load on the pump are observed for behavior indicating a change in the gas load. In one embodiment, the operating characteristic is the current in a power signal being provided to the pump.
