  • Publication number: 20240176334
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processing device, first trace data associated with a first processing chamber, wherein the first processing chamber satisfies one or more performance metrics. The method further includes generating target trace data based on the first trace data associated with the first processing chamber. The method further includes receiving second trace data associated with a second processing chamber, wherein the second processing chamber does not satisfy the one or more performance metrics. The method further includes generating, based on the target trace data and the second trace data, a first recommended corrective action associated with the second processing chamber, wherein the first recommended corrective action includes updating one or more equipment constants of the second processing chamber. The method further includes performing the first recommended corrective action.

  • Patent number: 11972845
    Abstract: A client device presents a user interface including a macro entry field for defining a macro indicator from a plurality of macro indicators and transmits the macro indicator. A server stores a database of macro-based diagnoses, each macro-based diagnosis associated with one or more elements of an accession, and one or more specimens associated with the accession. The server also receives the macro indicator from the client device, retrieves an initial diagnosis from the database of macro-based diagnoses responsive to the macro indicator, and transmits the initial diagnosis. The client device, receives the initial diagnosis, pre-populates one or more text boxes on the user interface with information from the initial diagnosis, and enables the user to edit the pre-populated one or more text boxes.

  • Patent number: 11933553
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy fin stock material comprising about 0.9-1.2 wt. % Si, 0.3-0.5 wt. % Fe, 0.20-0.40 wt. % Cu, 1.0-1.5 wt. % Mn, 0-0.1% Mg and 0.0-3.0% Zn, with remainder Al and impurities at ?0.15 wt. %. The aluminum alloy fin stock material is produced in a form of a sheet by a process comprising the steps of direct chill casting an ingot, hot rolling the ingot after the direct chill casting, cold rolling the aluminum alloy to an intermediate thickness, inter-annealing the aluminum alloy cold rolled to an intermediate thickness at a temperature between 200 and 400° C., and cold rolling the material after inter-annealing to achieve % cold work (% CW) of 20 to 40%. The aluminum alloy fin stock material possesses an improved combination of one or more of pre- and/or post-brazes strength, conductivity, sag resistance and corrosion potential. It is useful for fabrication of heat exchanger fins.
