Abstract: An Application Programming Interface (API) exposes real-time service status information from a service backend system to a mobile application of a mobile device. Interactive, dynamic, and real-time service status information is rendered to the mobile device for managing and/or rating services rendered to a customer who operates the mobile device.

Abstract: An embodiment of an antenna module includes a substrate, a first antenna, and a second antenna. The first antenna is disposed on the substrate and is configured to radiate a first signal having a wavelength and a first polarization. And the second antenna is disposed on the substrate and is configured to radiate a second signal having the wavelength and a second polarization that is approximately orthogonal to the first polarization. For example, such an antenna module can include, as the first antenna, a T antenna configured to transmit and receive data that forms a first part of a MIMO-OFDM data symbol, and can include, as the second antenna, an F antenna configured to transmit and receive data that forms a second part of the MIMO-OFDM data symbol.

Abstract: A diagnostic apparatus monitors a lithographic manufacturing system. First measurement data representing local deviations of some characteristic across a substrate is obtained using sensors within a lithographic apparatus, and/or a separate metrology tool. Other inspection tools perform substrate backside inspection to produce second measurement data. A high-resolution backside defect image is processed into a form in which it can be compared with lower resolution information from the first measurement data. Cross-correlation is performed to identify which of the observed defects are correlated spatially with the deviations represented in the first measurement data. A correlation map is used to identify potentially relevant clusters of defects in the more detailed original defect map. The responsible apparatus can be identified by pattern recognition as part of an automated root cause analysis. Alternatively, reticle inspection data may be used as second measurement data.

Abstract: A clamping system for supporting an extension ladder on a gutter utilizes at least one and, more preferably, a pair of identical, clamp(s) to capture the ladder preventing movement laterally or horizontally away from the gutter. The clamp includes a clamp body with a latch pivotably mounted thereto which is spring biased to the gutter-clamping position. A lock screw may be utilized to prevent the latch from releasing the gutter preventing the ladder from moving. A pair of ears extends from each side of the clamp body and have slots which engage the channels on a forward face of the ladder leg.
