Patent number: 11654578Abstract: A robot system according to an embodiment may include a robot, a wafer jig that is held by the robot, a positioning base, a positional displacement detection device, a control part, and an offset acquisition part for acquiring an offset that occurs between a command position for the robot and an actual position. The positioning base includes contacting members. The wafer jig has a tapered surface. The tapered surface guides the wafer jig so that a center of the wafer jig approaches a predetermined position as a position where the taped surface contacts the contacting members is relatively higher. The robot places the wafer jig on the positioning base, then holds and conveys the wafer jig to the positional displacement detection device. The offset acquisition part acquires the offset based on a result in which the positional displacement detection device detects a positional displacement of the conveyed wafer jig.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignees: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KAWASAKI ROBOTICS (USA), INCInventors: Masaya Yoshida, Hajime Nakahara, George Chin, Luc Nguyen

Patent number: 11592788Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and techniques that enhance effectiveness and efficiency of a contingency analysis tool that is used for studying the magnitude and likelihood of extreme contingencies and potential cascading events across a power system. The described systems and techniques include deploying the contingency analysis tool in a high-performance computing (HPC) environment and incorporating visual situational awareness approaches to allow power system engineers to quickly and efficiently evaluate multiple power system simulation models. Furthermore, the described systems and techniques include the power system contingency-analysis tool calculating and coordinating protection element settings, as well as assessing controls of the power system using small-signal nomograms, allowing power system engineers to more effectively comprehend, evaluate, and analyze causes and effects of cascading events against a topology of a power system.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Nader A.

Publication number: 20220415690Abstract: An aligner system includes a motor, a rotating device, a control device, and a sensor. The motor generates a rotational drive force. The rotating device 11 is rotated by the rotational drive force generated by the motor, while supporting a wafer. The control device controls rotation of the rotating device, and performs a process of setting a rotational phase of the wafer to a predetermined value. The sensor emits a plurality of light beams traveling in different directions toward an edge of the wafer, and receives the light beams to detect a defect in the edge of the wafer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicants: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, Kawasaki Robotics (USA), INC.Inventors: Haruhiko TAN, Avish Ashok BHARWANI, George CHIN, Simon Jeyapalan

Patent number: 10810210Abstract: A query graph, which includes vertices and edges, represents a query on graph-structured data. The query graph is decomposed into query subgraphs. A network analysis tool performs continuous subgraph matching queries to facilitate analysis of computer network traffic, social media events, or other streams of data represented as a dynamic data graph (graph-structured data). This can help identify emerging trends in the data. Some features of the network analysis tool enhance performance by effectively utilizing distributed computing resources (including processing cores and memory at different nodes of a cluster) to speed up the process of updating the dynamic data graph and detecting matches of query subgraphs. Features of a query graph building tool enhance usability by providing intuitive ways to specify query graphs and their subgraphs. Features of a results visualization tool enhance usability by providing an intuitive way to present the results of continuous subgraph matching queries.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Sutanay Choudhury, George Chin, Jr., Khushbu Agarwal, Sherman J.
