Patent number: 11531051Abstract: A method identifies a location of a fault on a faulty line of an electrical power supply network having a plurality of lines, a plurality of inner nodes, and at least three outer nodes. The outer nodes each bound a line and are provided with measurement devices which are used to measure high-frequency current and/or voltage signals. To locate faults, one of the outer nodes is selected as the starting node for the search for the fault location. Starting from the starting node, paths to the other outer nodes are determined, and that those paths on which the fault location could be located are selected. A line on which the fault location could be located, in principle, is identified for each of the selected paths using the respective times at which the traveling waves arrive, and a potential fault location is determined for the respectively identified line.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Cezary Dzienis, Andreas Jurisch, Igor Kogan

Patent number: 5868847Abstract: A chamber for depositing a film layer on a substrate includes a support member on which the substrate is positioned for processing in the chamber, and a clamp ring suspended in the chamber on a chamber shield. The support member is positionable in the chamber to receive a substrate thereon, and further positionable to pass the substrate through the shield and thereby lift the clamp ring off the shield. After deposition is complete, the support member retracts through the shield, to reposition the clamp on the shield. In the event that a deposition material layer has formed between the substrate and the clamp ring, the clamp ring includes a plurality of actuators thereon which force the substrate out of the clamp ring as the clamp ring is repositioned on the shield.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1994Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Aihua Chen, Zheng Xu, Howard Grunes, Avi Tepman, Igor Kogan

Patent number: 5810931Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for protecting the edge of a substrate and securing the substrate to the support member during processing. The present invention preferably provides minimal contact with the substrate and provides improved edge exclusion. Support tabs extend inwardly from the lower roof surface to support the apparatus on the substrate and the inner terminus of the apparatus approaches the edge of the substrate to provide the improved edge exclusion. A variable height lower roof surface is provided over the edge of the substrate to provide an effective increased roof aspect ratio (width of the roof:height of the roof above the substrate) over the edge of the substrate which reduces the likelihood that a bridging layer will form between the apparatus and the substrate or beyond the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1996Date of Patent: September 22, 1998Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Joe Stevens, Howard Grunes, Igor Kogan
