  • Patent number: 11447868
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to apparatus and method for a tunable plasma process within a plasma processing chamber. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a heater assembly for a plasma processing chamber is disclosed. The heater assembly includes a resistive heating element, a first lead coupling the resistive heating element to an RF filter and a tunable circuit element operable to adjust an impedance between the resistive heating element and the RF filter. Another embodiment provides a method for controlling a plasma process in a plasma processing chamber by forming a plasma from a process gas present inside the plasma processing chamber and adjusting an impedance between a resistive heating element and an RF filter coupled between the resistive heating element and a power source for the resistive heating element, while the plasma is present in the plasma processing chamber.

  • Patent number: 11422869
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting collaboration activity to a particular user are disclosed. A method embodiment commences by recording event records that codify one or more event attributes corresponding to one or more content object access events. The content object access events are associated with two or more users that interact with the content objects. At a later moment in time, a subset of event records is selected, the selection being based at least in part on timestamps of the content object access events. A display order to apply to the selected subset of event records is determined, the order being based at least in part on timestamps of collaboration events arising from the users. Event messages to present in a user interface are generated, and the event messages are then displayed in the user interface in accordance with the display order.

  • Publication number: 20220254606
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a plasma chamber design that allows extremely symmetrical electrical, thermal, and gas flow conductance through the chamber. By providing such symmetry, plasma formed within the chamber naturally has improved uniformity across the surface of a substrate disposed in a processing region of the chamber. Further, other chamber additions, such as providing the ability to manipulate the gap between upper and lower electrodes as well as between a gas inlet and a substrate being processed, allows better control of plasma processing and uniformity as compared to conventional systems.

  • Publication number: 20220165353
    Abstract: Methods for targeting a tumor antigen for immunotherapy based on HLA allele type and the mutations present in the tumor antigen are presented. A patient's HLA allele type and a tumor antigen derived from a mutation in cancer driver gene can be matched with a majority allele type having a minimum affinity to the same tumor antigen or with those of a plurality of patients with a history of cancer treatment. Upon matching, a cancer treatment against the tumor antigen can be selected and administered to the patient to achieve a desired effect.
