Abstract: Systems and methods for performing X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) measurements in a semiconductor environment are disclosed. A reference element peak is selected and tracked as part of the measurement process.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for contacting radially flowing fluids with solid particles (e.g., catalyst) with reduced tendency for fluidization of the particles, and especially a sealing portion of the particles at the top of a particle retention zone disposed between screens at upstream and downstream positions relative to radial fluid flow. Fluidization is reduced or eliminated by offsetting openings of the screens in the axial direction, such that upstream openings in the upstream screen are above highest downstream openings in a downstream stream. The offset in openings imparts a downward flow component to radially flowing fluid, thereby reducing solid particle fluidization without the need to induce a specific pressure drop profile along the entire axial direction of the screens.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a message forwarding method, an Access Point, and a system. An Access Point obtains a forwarding configuration table, where the forwarding configuration table includes message types and forwarding modes; receives a message sent by a user station and obtains a message type of the message; determines the forwarding mode of the message according to the message type of the message and the forwarding configuration table; encapsulates and forwards the message according to the forwarding mode of the message. Through the present disclosure, forwarding control of messages of wireless users can be implemented on the Access Point, thereby avoiding the problem that wireless air interface control is separated from user access control on an AP controller (AC) in the local forwarding mode and the problem of waste of bandwidth between the AP and the AC in the tunnel forwarding mode.
