Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may include memory and at least one processor, coupled to the memory, configured to determine a power parameter associated with communication using a first radio access technology (RAT). The at least one processor may be further configured to determine a quality parameter associated with the communication using the first RAT. The at least one processor may be further configured to apply, based on the quality parameter, an offset to the power parameter to form a modified power parameter. The at least one processor may be further configured to transmit a measurement report including the modified power parameter. The apparatus may be a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE) and, more specifically, a high gain UE.

Abstract: Access terminals are adapted to facilitate automated configuration of communications interfaces based on a current carrier identity. According to one example, an access terminal may determine a carrier identity from a subscription module. A modem configuration associated with the carrier identity may be selected from modem configuration data stored on a storage medium accessible by the access terminal. The selected carrier-specific software configuration may then be activated to configure a communications interface of the access terminal to facilitate operations associated with the carrier identity, such as facilitating wireless communications with a carrier associated with the carrier identity. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Abstract: A wafer carrier adapted to hold a plurality of wafers and is positioned on an elevator plate in a load lock. The elevator plate is adapted to move between a first position with the carrier in a first chamber of the load lock and a second position with the carrier in the auxiliary chamber. In the second position, the elevator plate substantially seals the auxiliary chamber from the first chamber. In use, a first wafer is placed onto the wafer carrier. The wafer carrier can moved into the auxiliary chamber before or after the first wafer is placed onto the wafer carrier. The first wafer is auxiliary processed in the auxiliary chamber. A second wafer is placed onto the wafer carrier. Preferably after the second wafer is placed onto the wafer carrier, the first wafer is removed from the load lock. A third wafer is preferably then placed onto the wafer carrier so that the second wafer can cool. The second wafer is then removed from the load lock. The cycle is repeated.

Abstract: A load port comprises a platform for receiving a FOUP. The platform includes features for manually removing a FOUP door. The platform also includes features for placing the FOUP in operative relation to a wafer transfer robot configured to transfer wafers between first and second containers.

Abstract: A sealing member provides a seal between a front opening unified pod (FOUP) and a semiconductor processing tool. The seal inhibits fluid flow between an ambient environment and a minienvironment in a front end of the processing tool while the FOUP and minienvironment are open to one another for transporting wafers between the processing tool and the FOUP.
