  • Publication number: 20260122146
    Abstract: A method for compressing a sensor-based signal is described. The method includes receiving the sensor-based signal and dividing the sensor-based signal into a plurality of portions. Each portion is generated according to a corresponding cycle of a clock signal. The method further includes identifying a plurality of states of each portion of the sensor-based signal and dividing sensor state data for one of the plurality of states into a parameter list and a difference component. The parameter list includes a value common to all of the sensor state data for the one of the plurality of states, and the difference component includes a plurality of values that are offsets from the common value. The method includes packetizing the parameter list within a header of a packet and the difference component within a payload of the packet to compress the sensor state data.

  • Publication number: 20250379034
    Abstract: Systems and methods for calibrating radio frequency (RF) generators are described. One of the methods includes receiving a plurality of analog measurement signals from a plurality of RF sensors to output a plurality of digital signals. The plurality of analog signals are received by an analytical controller. The method further includes calibrating, in a simultaneous manner, the RF generators based on the plurality of digital signals. The RF generators are calibrated by a process controller.

  • Patent number: 9128473
    Abstract: An arrangement for controlling a plasma processing system is provided. The arrangement includes an RF sensing mechanism for obtaining an RF voltage signal. The arrangement also includes a high impedance arrangement coupled to the RF sensing mechanism to facilitate acquisition of the signal while reducing perturbation of RF power driving a plasma in the plasma processing system. The arrangement further includes a signal processing arrangement configured for receiving the signal, processing the signal in a digital domain to obtain peak voltage information for a fundamental frequency and a broadband frequency of the signal, deriving wafer bias information from the peak voltage information, and applying signal to a transfer function to obtain a transfer function output. The arrangement moreover includes an ESC power supply subsystem configured to receive the transfer function output as a feedback signal to control the plasma processing system.

  • Patent number: 8474697
    Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) operates responsive to data read from data bearing records to cause financial transfers. The machine includes a user interface (12) including an opening (20). Users of the machine deliver individual sheets and stacks of sheets to and from the machine through the opening. Stacks of sheets may include sheets such as notes, checks, or other documents. Stacks input to the machine may include mixtures of various types of sheets. The machine operates to receive notes, process checks, and perform other operations. Notes received in the machine may be recycled and dispensed to other users. Checks processed by the machine may be imaged by an imaging device, cancelled, and stored in the machine or alternatively returned to a user.
