  • Patent number: 12634295
    Abstract: Systems and methods for time bound session management for Operational Technology (OT) applications using Cron expression policies over zero trust. Various embodiments include receiving a request to an end system from a user; determining that the request requires a time-based approval; performing one or more time-based policy checks associated with the request; and allowing or denying the request based on the one or more time-based policy checks. The steps can further include monitoring an active session between the user and the end system; and timing out the active session based on time-based policy checks.

  • Publication number: 20250062143
    Abstract: A load lock including a substrate support device for supporting a substrate, and an indexer coupled to the substrate support device. The substrate support device may take measurements and acquire data to verify features of the supported substrate and an associated manufacturing system. Substrate features that are measured include, substrate temperature, substrate warping, and a substrate presence, absence, or misplacement on the support device. System features that are measured include system vibrations and substrate transfer mechanism calibration data. The substrate support device sensors and communications circuits can be integrated into the substrate support device, through use of an additive manufacturing process in making the substrate support device.
