Abstract: In a method and an optical time-of-flight sensor for determining distance values d, di by an optical time-of-flight method, an illumination light 40 is emitted which is modulated with a modulation frequency f and a modulation phase q. Reflected light 42 is acquired as an output signal Rx and evaluated by acquisition of a phase shift ? between the illumination light 40 and the reflected light 42, so that an output signal d, di with at least one distance value d is generated. Distance values d, di are determined for a sequence of successive frames, with a plurality of acquisitions being made in each frame in the form of micro-frames ?F1-?F8 with different modulation phases ?. A sequence of modulation phases ?1-?4 of the micro-frames ?F1-?F8 is specified for each frame. In order to achieve a particularly high reliability of the data supplied, the order of the modulation phases ?1-?4 changes. A self-calibration and self-verification take place in an initialization step (60).

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and machine readable media storing instructions (programming) for an instantaneous or nearly instantaneous (e.g., within 0.1 seconds, within 0.001 seconds, etc.), non-invasive, and easy-to-use transfer from a radial and/or brachial waveform to a carotid waveform or its reduced-order parameters are described. Some embodiments relate to systems, methods, devices, and programming for determining cardiovascular (clinical) indices and biomarkers from two or more of the radial and/or brachial and/or carotid waveforms (or their corresponding reduced-order representations).

Abstract: An alignment nozzle jig for centering a coater photoresist arm that includes an alignment nozzle block. The alignment nozzle jig also includes an endoscope holder removably secured to a bottom of the alignment nozzle block, an endoscope, and an alignment mark removably coupled to the endoscope holder opposite the alignment nozzle block. The alignment nozzle jig is retrieved from a nozzle bath by the coater arm and transferred to a center of a chuck in an associated process chamber. Via the endoscope, the coater photoresist arm is aligned with the center of the chuck using the alignment mark.

Abstract: A method, a device, a storage medium and a vehicle for vehicle rollover prevention warning, wherein the method for vehicle rollover prevention warning includes: collecting vehicle body rollover state parameters; calculating a lateral-load transfer rate of the vehicle according to the collected vehicle body rollover state parameters and a preset load transfer rate threshold model comprising the centrifugal force rollover moment of the sprung mass; and determining whether the vehicle has the risk of rollover or not according to the calculated lateral-load transfer rate and the preset rollover threshold. According to the technical solution provided by the invention, the load transfer rate threshold model based on the centrifugal force rollover moment of the sprung mass can simulate the actual rollover state of a vehicle more truly, with a more accurate state indication effect and a high warning accuracy.

Abstract: A wafer handler cleaning tool may include a scraping device positioned near semiconductor equipment (e.g., a cooling plate, a semiconductor processing device, and/or the like) such that the scraping device removes foreign objects, debris, and/or other types of matter from the underside of the wafer handler when the wafer handler loads a wafer into the semiconductor equipment and/or unloads the wafer from the semiconductor equipment. Moreover, the wafer handler cleaning tool may include a negative pressure device to draw the removed foreign objects, debris, and/or other types of matter away from the scraping device and toward a filtration device such that the filtration device captures the removed foreign objects, debris, and/or other types of matter.

Abstract: A process for making an oligonucleotide, the process including reacting a oligonucleotide precursor with a solid phase support within a reaction vessel, the reaction vessel being coupled to an actuator and having a resting position and inverting the reaction vessel via the actuator such that the reaction vessel is inverted relative to the resting position, wherein the inversion of the reaction vessel results in stirring of the solid phase support within the reaction vessel.

Abstract: A continuous wave radar system comprises a substrate, a transmitter disposed on the substrate, a receiver disposed on the substrate, and an isolating device comprising a plurality of metal plates parallelly disposed on the substrate between the transmitter and the receiver for isolating leakage signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The metal plates are grounded with the transmitter and the receiver via electrical connection between the metal plates and the substrate. The metal plates are so arranged that an eddy current induced in each of the metal plates is directed away by grounding when the leakage signal passes through the metal plates.
