Publication number: 20240145047Abstract: Data related to the adherence of a patient to a therapy regime can be collected from multiple medical devices, each of which may have an incomplete data set with data entries associated with times. Each incomplete data set represents a portion of a complete data set. The data sets can be integrated to create a complete data set with data entries from each incomplete data set being arranged in a temporal sequence with respect to one another. A report may be generated, the report having the data entries of the complete data set or a function of the data entries of the complete data set.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Adam John Darby, Donald Roy Kuriger, Bernhard Florian Lamprecht, Mark Samuel Hamilton, Alex Young, Benjamin Wilson Casse

Patent number: 11854760Abstract: A crucible that exploits the observation that molten metal tends to flow toward the hottest regions is disclosed. The crucible includes an interior in which dopant material may be disposed. The crucible has a pathway leading from the interior toward an aperture, wherein the temperature is continuously increasing along the pathway. The aperture may be disposed in or near the interior of the arc chamber of an ion source. The liquid metal flows along the pathway toward the arc chamber, where it is vaporized and then ionized. By controlling the flow rate of the pathway, spillage may be reduced. In another embodiment, an inverted crucible is disclosed. The inverted crucible comprises a closed end in communication with the interior of the ion source, so that the closed end is the hottest region of the crucible. An opening is disposed on a different wall to allow vapor to exit the crucible.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Graham Wright, Eric Donald Wilson, Daniel Alvarado, Robert C. Lindberg, Jacob Mullin

Patent number: 11664183Abstract: A system and method for extending the life of a cathode and repeller in an IHC ion source is disclosed. The system monitors the health of the cathode by operating using a known set of parameters and measuring the bias power used to generate the desired extracted beam current or the desired current from the arc voltage power supply. Based on the measured bias power, the system may determine whether the cathode is becoming too thin, and may take a corrective action. This corrective action may be to alert the operator; to operate the IHC ion source using a predetermined set of parameters; or to change the dilution used within the IHC source. By performing these actions, the life of the cathode may be more than doubled.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Graham Wright, Daniel Alvarado, Eric Donald Wilson, Robert Lindberg

Publication number: 20230013095Abstract: Techniques for adjusting the shape of an ion beam are described. Characteristics of a desired beam shape may be defined. The ion beam generator may include beam shaping elements associated with tunable parameters that can be set in combination with each other. A search space for the possible combinations is defined. A set of exploratory points in the search space are measured and used to interpolate a large number of interpolated points based on a regression model. Interpolated points that are associated with low confidence values may be measured. Based on the measured and interpolated points, clusters of tunable parameter combinations may be identified for evaluation. The clusters are evaluated for stability and sensitivity, and one of the clusters is selected based on the evaluation. The ion beam generator may be configured based on the selected cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2021Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Richard Allen Sprenkle, Richard White, Eric Donald Wilson, Shane Conley, Ana Samolov, Nilay A.

Patent number: 11307878Abstract: A per user system include for a virtual desktop includes a server connected to multiple users, wherein each server hosts multiple application sessions accessible by the users. An indexer hosted on the server can be configured to analyze a file on the server to identify a user that owns the file without input from the application sessions and to save the file to a virtual hard disk (VHD) of the identified user. The VHD can be temporarily saved on the server. A communications device can be connected to the indexer, where the communication device can send the VHD of the identified user from the server to a storage device. A processor can be on a second server, where the processor can retrieve the VHD of the identified user from the storage device and temporarily save the VHD of the identified user on the second server.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Won Hee Lee, Adam Donald Wilson
