  • Patent number: 11891173
    Abstract: Assemblies and methods for facilitating the assembly of aircraft wings to a fuselage are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wing unit includes features that are configured to define one of more parts of a pressure vessel that is partially defined by the fuselage portion. In some embodiments, the aircraft assemblies disclosed herein comprise one or more first structural interfaces that permit positional adjustment between the wing unit and the fuselage portion so that one or more second structural interfaces may be finished only after such positional adjustment. In some embodiments, the aircraft assemblies disclosed herein comprise one or more structural interfaces that are disposed outside of the wing unit in order to eliminate or reduce the need for assembly personnel to access the interior of the wing unit to carry out the structural assembly of the wing unit to the fuselage portion.

  • Publication number: 20240026905
    Abstract: An actuation pressure to actuate one or more hydraulic actuators may be determined based on a load on the one or more hydraulic actuators of a robotic device. Based on the determined actuation pressure, a pressure rail from among a set of pressure rails at respective pressures may be selected. One or more valves may connect the selected pressure rail to a metering valve. The hydraulic drive system may operate in a discrete mode in which the metering valve opens such that hydraulic fluid flows from the selected pressure rail through the metering valve to the one or more hydraulic actuators at approximately the supply pressure. Responsive to a control state of the robotic device, the hydraulic drive system may operate in a continuous mode in which the metering valve throttles the hydraulic fluid such that the supply pressure is reduced to the determined actuation pressure.

  • Patent number: 11848236
    Abstract: Process flows and methods are provided for recessing a fill material within openings formed within a patterned substrate. The openings are formed within a multilayer stack comprising a target material layer and one or more additional material layers, which overly and differ from the target material layer. After the openings are formed within the multilayer stack, a grafting material comprising a solubility-shifting agent is selectively deposited within the openings, such that the grafting material adheres to the target material layer without adhering to the additional material layer(s) overlying the target material layer. Next, a fill material is deposited within the openings and the solubility-shifting agent is activated to change the solubility of a portion of the fill material adjacent to and surrounding the grafting material. Then, a wet development process is used to remove the soluble/insoluble portions of fill material to the recess the fill material within the openings.

  • Publication number: 20230359128
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a wafer processing device for optimizing wafer shape. For example, the wafer processing device can include a first hot plate, a second hot plate and a controller. The first hot plate can be configured to heat a wafer. For example, the first hot plate can provide uniform heating across a surface of the first hot plate. The second hot plate has multiple heating zones with each heating zone independently controllable such that each heating zone can be set to a temperature value independent of other heating zones. The controller is configured to control the first hot plate to provide the uniform heating, receive a bow measurement from wafer curvature measurement of a wafer, and set the multiple heating zones of the second hot plate to their respective temperature values that correspond to the bow measurement.

  • Publication number: 20230308900
    Abstract: A device may receive real mobile radio data identifying measurements of radio transmissions of base stations and user devices of a mobile radio environment in a geographical area, and may receive network topology data associated with the geographical area. The device may utilize, based on the network topology data, a machine learning feature extraction approach to generate a representation of invariant aspects of spatiotemporal predictable components of the real mobile radio data, and may generate, based on the representation of invariant aspects, stochastic data that includes a probability that a radio signal will be obstructed. The device may utilize the stochastic data to identify a realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature, and may train or evaluate a system to manage performance of a mobile radio network based on the realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature.

  • Publication number: 20230309053
    Abstract: A device may receive a first type of data identifying measurements associated with user devices and/or base stations of a mobile radio environment, and a second type of data identifying spatiotemporal behavior associated with the user devices. The device may train a first model, with the first type of data, to generate a trained first model that yields dimensionality-reduced spatiotemporal characteristics of the first type of data, and may train a second model, with the second type of data and the dimensionality-reduced spatiotemporal characteristics, to generate a trained second model. The device may receive particular data identifying measurements associated with a user device and/or base stations, and may process the particular data, with the trained first model, to generate a dimensionality-reduced spatiotemporal characteristic of the particular data.
