  • Publication number: 20210238740
    Abstract: A susceptor assembly, which is situated in a reactor housing, has at least one wide side plane that faces a process chamber, at least one pocket, and a carrying element that lies in the at least one pocket, for carrying and handling a substrate. An upper face of the carrying element is adjacent to a limiting face of a recess in which the substrate is arranged. A section of the limiting face which runs along a cylinder inner lateral face merges into the upper face of the carrying element, forming a rounded edge or chamfer. To reduce the growth of parasitic deposits on an inner edge of the carrying element, the section of the limiting face which runs along the cylinder inner lateral face has a height which is greater than the material thickness of the substrate, and the radius of the rounded edge is greater than 0.4 mm.

  • Patent number: 11050651
    Abstract: Systems and methods for health monitoring and upgrade of a distributed controller are provided. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a method for health monitoring and upgrade of a distributed controller may commence with receiving, by a lower level controller from a high-level controller, high-level control references. The method may further include generating low-level control references for a hardware asset based at least in part on the high-level control references. The method may include monitoring the network connection and detecting an error in the network connection. In response to the detection of the error in the network connection, a control of the hardware asset may be transferred to the low-level controller. The method may further include determining that the network connection has been restored. In response to the determination that the network connection has been restored, the control of the hardware asset may be transferred to the high-level controller.

  • Publication number: 20210192571
    Abstract: A content publisher incorporates a script into a web page. The script consumes an event raised in response a user submitting a query. The script captures the query and related information and sends the captured query and information to a search provider, either directly or through the content publisher. The search provider uses the query and information to identify both the content publisher and branding information associated with the content publisher. An iframe is assembled by the search provider that contains current results from the content publisher as well as web results. The iframe is branded with the content publisher branding information and returned to the user, either directly or through the content publisher. The resultant search experience appears as if it were provided by the content publisher.

  • Publication number: 20210182940
    Abstract: A service provider system may implement an enterprise catalog service that manages software products and portfolios of software products on behalf of service provider customer organizations. A graph processing service of the enterprise catalog service may create a graph representation of the enterprise catalog service data, including principals, product listings, portfolios, and constraints (and the relationships between them) that may be used to manage access control, launch contexts, and searches within the enterprise catalog service. A primary (key-value) store may maintain an adjacency list and a secondary index of de-normalized edges. A secondary (document) store may maintain the de-normalized edges. In response to various queries directed to the graph processing service, the service may query the adjacency list or the secondary index. For example, one query may return a list of products that an end user can access, and another may return a count of products within a portfolio.
