  • Patent number: 11978472
    Abstract: A system for processing and presenting a conversation includes a sensor, a processor, and a presenter. The sensor is configured to capture an audio-form conversation. The processor is configured to automatically transform the audio-form conversation into a transformed conversation. The transformed conversation includes a synchronized text, wherein the synchronized text is synchronized with the audio-form conversation. The presenter is configured to present the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation. The presenter is further configured to present the transformed conversation to be navigable, searchable, assignable, editable, and shareable.

  • Patent number: 11931853
    Abstract: Generating a recipe for controlling a polishing system includes receiving a target removal profile that includes a target thickness to remove for a plurality of locations on a substrate that are angularly distributed around the substrate, and storing a first function defining a polishing rate for a zone from a plurality of pressurizable zones of a carrier head that are angularly distributed around a the carrier head. The first function defines polishing rates as a function of pressures. For each particular zone of the plurality of zones a recipe defining a pressure for the particular zone over time is calculated by calculating an expected thickness profile after polishing using the first function, and minimizing a cost function that incorporates a first term representing a difference between the expected thickness profile and a target thickness profile.

  • Publication number: 20220131883
    Abstract: A method, a system, and an article are provided for identification of security-related activities based on usage of a plurality of independent cloud-based, hosted application platforms. An example method includes: receiving, from the application platforms, activity data and state data for a plurality of users of the application platforms; generating one or more predictive models configured to detect deviations from normal user behavior across the application platforms; providing, as input to the one or more predictive models, the activity data and the state data for at least one of the users; receiving, from the one or more predictive models, an indication that an activity of the at least one of the users deviates from the normal user behavior; and facilitating a remedial action to address the indicated deviation.

  • Patent number: 6545855
    Abstract: An apparatus (100) for reducing inductance in a capacitor having a first terminal (12) and a spaced-apart second terminal (14), includes a first conductive plate (120) and a second conductive plate (140). The first conductive plate (120) is electrically coupled to the first terminal (12). The second conductive plate (140) is electrically coupled to the second terminal (14) and is disposed in parallel with the first conductive plate (120) so as to overlap at least a portion of the first conductive plate (120). An insulating member (122 and 142) is disposed between the first conductive plate (120) and the second conductive plate (140). The insulating member (122 and 142) insulates the first conductive plate (120) from the second conductive plate (140).

  • Patent number: 4629841
    Abstract: A hermetically sealed float switch having a bistable ball cage therein. The ball cage is free to pivot between either of two spring biased, over center positions responsive to the position of a ball which is free to roll from either end of the race through the cage to the other end of the race. An over center spring holds the ball cage in its last operated position. A safety arm prevents the ball cage from changing its attitude in any manner which, if uncontrolled, might permit the ball to escape into an inoperative position which might capture it behind the ball cage. Adjustment is provided for the on and off levels of the switch responsive to tether length.
