The method and apparatus include identifying, by a processor, a secondary application based on an application executed on the electronic device or content included in the application, displaying a representation corresponding to the secondary application on the electronic device, selecting the representation based on an input, and invoking the secondary application corresponding to the selected representation on the electronic device.

Abstract: Rather than relying on pre-defined scheduling of secondary copy operations such as backup jobs, the illustrative opportunistic approach initiates secondary copy operations based on changing operational conditions in a storage management system. An adaptive backup readiness score is based on a number of backup-readiness operational factors. An illustrative enhanced data agent which is associated with the target database application (or other executable component) may monitor the operational factors and determine the backup readiness score based on weights assigned to the respective operational factors. The enhanced data agent may evaluate recent backup jobs to determine which of the operational factors that contributed to the backup readiness score may have been most relevant.

Image processing techniques are employed to identify a plurality of anatomical landmarks of the deformed bone in the first image. The first image of the deformed bone is displayed on a display device. A graphical of the deformed bone is autonomously generated and graphically overlaid on the first image of the deformed bone on the display device, the graphical template including a plurality of lines, each line connected at each end to a landmark point corresponding to one of the anatomical landmarks. A model of the deformed bone may be autonomously generated based on the graphical template.

Abstract: A circuit editor generates a graphic rendering of an electronic circuit design for partial display in a visual canvas on a display unit. The circuit editor detects aberrant arrangements of circuit elements which violate predetermined circuit layout criteria, such as minimum spacing between the edges or corners of circuit elements, and forms a correction scheme to rearrange the circuit elements such that consistency with the circuit layout criteria is restored. When the aberrant arrangements are not themselves displayed in the visual canvas, the circuit editor generates visual indications of the layout violation and of the correction scheme, the latter being used to guide user correction of the violation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a plasma processing chamber includes performing a plasma process at a process pressure and a pressure power to generate a plasma. A first ramping-down stage starts in which the process power and the process pressure are ramped down substantially simultaneously to an intermediate power level and an intermediate pressure level, respectively. The intermediate power level and intermediate pressure level are preselected so as to raise a plasma sheath boundary above a threshold height from a surface of a substrate. A purge gas is flowed from a showerhead assembly at a sufficiently high rate to sweep away contaminant particles trapped in the plasma such that one or more contaminant particles move outwardly of an edge of the substrate. A second ramping-down stage starts where the intermediate power level and the intermediate pressure level decline to a zero level and a base pressure, respectively.

Abstract: A user uploads date sets through a client to a database. The data sets are provisioned in the database for in-database searching. The data sets are evaluated and classifications for the columns of the tables that include the data set are detected. Columns content may be classified into different analysis types, aggregation types, formats, categories, hierarchies, etc. Metadata is generated based on the evaluation of the data sets. A schema is used to store the metadata that describes the detected classification of the columns. The schema is stored in the database and is used when a search in the database is performed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for reducing particle contamination on substrates in a plasma process chamber. In one embodiment, by applying a DC power to an electrode surrounding a processing region, the boundary of a plasma region formed in the processing region extends closer to the chamber body and outside of the diameter of the substrate support. In another embodiment, by applying a negative bias to an electrode or a positive bias to the lid, negatively charged species located at the boundary of the plasma region are lifted by the electrostatic force created by the negative bias or the positive bias. As a result, species located at the boundary of the plasma region will not fall onto the edge of the substrate disposed on the substrate support as the electric power for sustaining the plasma region is turned off, leading to reduced particle contamination on the substrate.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to an apparatus for reducing particle contamination on substrates in a plasma processing chamber. The apparatus for reduced particle contamination includes a chamber body, a lid coupled to the chamber body. The chamber body and the lid define a processing volume therebetween. The apparatus also includes a substrate support disposed in the processing volume and an edge ring. The edge ring includes an inner lip disposed over a substrate, a top surface connected to the inner lip, a bottom surface opposite the top surface and extending radially outward from the substrate support, and an inner step between the bottom surface and the inner lip. To avoid depositing the particles on the substrate being processed when the plasma is de-energized, the edge ring shifts the high plasma density zone away from the edge area of the substrate.
