  • Publication number: 20260176790
    Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a reduced mass substrate support are disclosed, according to certain embodiments. A front side pocket is provided for support of a substrate, while a backside pocket is provided that reduces the mass of the substrate support. By providing the backside pocket, the mass of the overall substrate support is reduced, providing faster thermal cycling times for the substrate support and reducing the weight of the substrate support for transport. Lift pin systems, according to disclosed embodiments, are compatible with existing pedestal systems by providing a hollow extension from each lift pin hole that extends from a bottom of the backside pocket to provide support for lift pin insertion and operation.

  • Publication number: 20260178573
    Abstract: A GraphQL query generation system uses a tunable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture that includes a top-K predictor that receives natural language queries and predicts a number of items to be retrieved by a retriever for each natural language query. A retriever receives the natural language queries and in response retrieves a set of top-K attributes associated with the natural language queries and the number of items to be retrieved as provided by the top-K predictor. The retriever may be a neural database retriever that is configured to perform a multiple class hash key prediction by encoding the natural language query with a hash key and retrieving attributes that are assigned a same hash key. The GraphQL query generating large language model (LLM) receives the natural language queries and the set of top-K attributes and in response generate the GraphQL queries. The top-K predictor and the LLM are co-trained together.

  • Publication number: 20260146056
    Abstract: A preparation method for a morpholine-based organophosphine ligand includes the steps of: adding 1,3-dibromobenzene, morpholine, an inorganic base, and a first catalyst to a reactor under a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere, and using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a reaction solvent; reacting a mixture at 45-55° C. for 5-7 h; lowering a reaction temperature to ?75 to ?80° C., and adding n-butyllithium (nBuLi); and raising the reaction temperature to 0° C. after stirring, and adding a second catalyst and a halophosphine reagent for reaction to obtain a morpholine-based organophosphine ligand. A method for synthesizing novel morpholine-based organophosphine ligands under mild conditions of the present disclosure has been successfully applied in palladium (Pd)-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen (C—N) bond formation reactions, demonstrating high efficiency and selectivity, simplifying reaction conditions, and broadening the scope of application.

  • Patent number: 12632675
    Abstract: A method of extracting information from documents. The method simplifies the extraction of information from documents by first converting them into machine-readable text via OCR. It then employs a text embedding model to represent the text as high-dimensional vectors. These vectors are clustered to pinpoint natural groupings and representative document clusters. An example document from each cluster is chosen, guided by the number of non-empty fields and its relation to other documents. This selection informs the creation of an in-context-learning prompt, which includes accurately annotated labels and a system prompt defining the task for the LLM. The LLM is then prompted to extract information from a new document's OCR text, leveraging the constructed prompt for guidance.

  • Publication number: 20260112225
    Abstract: A specific architecture is proposed that utilizes two models being operated in parallel as an ensemble model approach based on Applicant's testing with physical machines. The ensemble model approach is provided as a physical system that operates two models simultaneously, both models being trained as candidate models. Both models are utilized during inference time separately to optimize a loss function (e.g., MAE performance), and during inference, the model with a superior MAE performance is used to control ATM replenishment control signal generation. The two models being used together include a first model, a fully connected neural network data architecture, and a second model, a tree-based learning algorithm provided as a gradient boosting framework (e.g., the Light Gradient-Boosting Machine, also known as the LightGBM). From a practical perspective, the ensemble models can be operated with a prediction buffer configured to allow for specific parameter tuning.
