Abstract: A vocational vehicle includes a chassis, a cab supported by the chassis, a body supported by the chassis and defining a compartment, a lift assembly coupled to the body so that the lift assembly is configured to move between a lowered position and a raised position along a path, a sensor defining a field of view that at least partially includes the path of the lift assembly, and a vehicle control system in communication with the lift assembly and the sensor. The vehicle control system includes a controller having a processor and at least one memory. The controller is configured to detect that the lift assembly is activated to move and disable the sensor.

Abstract: To clean components in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, such as an optical system or an electron beam system, a component is heated in a chamber. A supercritical fluid formulation is applied to the component in the chamber, which removes molecular and/or particulate contaminants. The supercritical fluid formulation can include one or more of carbon dioxide, water, HCF, alkane, alkene, nitrous oxide, methanol, ethanol, or acetone.

Abstract: A vehicle longitudinal motion control apparatus for controlling a longitudinal motion of a vehicle. The vehicle longitudinal motion control apparatus includes at least one sensor configured to sense a longitudinal motion of another vehicle which precedes the vehicle and a controller having at least one control module in communication with the at least one sensor. The at least one control module is configured to determine a longitudinal motion characteristic of both vehicles and a headway distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The at least one control module is further configured to apply a coasting maneuver to the vehicle based upon the determined headway distance to reduce the distance between the vehicles and increase energy efficiency of the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining layer thickness for layers in a multi-layer sample. Reference transmission spectral data may be determined for a first layer and a second layer. The first layer may comprise a first material associated with a first spectral band and the second layer may comprise a second material associated with a second spectral band. The first spectral band may at least partially overlap the second spectral band. The reference spectral data may be used to determine correction factors. Spectral data may be measured for the multi-layer sample. The correction factors may be used to correct the spectral data by removing the contribution of the second layer from spectral data associated with first layer.

Abstract: A spectrometer generates Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) measurements having an exceedingly high signal-to-noise ratio, as well as a greater wavelength range over which measurements may be accurately provided. This is achieved by utilizing reflective optics (preferably solely reflective optics, i.e., no refractive elements) to supply a concentrated and collimated input light beam to a sample within a sample cell, and similarly collecting the light output from the sample cell via reflective optics for supply to a detector.
