Patent number: 11924277Abstract: Networking systems and methods for establishing and maintaining virtual computing clouds are disclosed. A networking system can comprise a server and various instances of a software agent, each agent being installed on a computing device participating in a virtual computing cloud. The server can maintain account setting for a user, wherein the settings can indicate which files on indicated computing devices are included in the virtual computing cloud. The networking system can selectively synchronize data between the computing devices automatically and in a secure manner, and can transmit data in real time to simulate local storage when synchronization of certain files is inappropriate in light of file incompatibility. As a result, the networking system can provide the user with a seamless, automatic system and method for accessing a total computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: AdmieMobile LLCInventors: Jonathan M. Conrad, David Simmons

Patent number: 11651987Abstract: A substrate support pedestal comprises an electrostatic chuck, a cooling base, a gas flow passage, a porous plug, and a sealing member. The electrostatic chuck comprises body having a cavity. The cooling base is coupled to the electrostatic chuck via a bond layer. The gas flow passage is formed between a top surface of the electrostatic chuck and a bottom surface of the cooling base. The gas flow passage further comprises the cavity. The porous plug is positioned within the cavity to control the flow of gas through the gas flow passage. The sealing member is positioned in a groove formed in the cooling base and configured to form a seal between the cooling base and one or both of the porous plug and the body of the electrostatic chuck.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: APPLIED MATERIALS, INC.Inventors: Stephen Donald Prouty, Andreas Schmid, Jonathan Simmons, Sumanth Banda

Patent number: 10867829Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an electrostatic chuck for processing substrates. The electrostatic chuck includes a facilities plate and an insulator disposed between a cooling base and a ground plate. A support body is coupled to the cooling base for supporting a substrate thereon. A ring is configured to surround the insulator. The ring is formed from a material that is resistant to degradation from exposure to a manufacturing process. The ring optionally includes an extension configured to surround the facilities plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Simmons, Dana Lovell

Patent number: 8510061Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for wireless crack detection and monitoring are disclosed. According to one system, a crack detector is affixed to a surface of a material for detecting a crack in the material. In response to detecting a crack, a crack indicator is generated, indicating the existence of the crack. A mote wirelessly communicates the crack indicator to an external device. The mote may also store multiple crack indicators in local memory before being downloaded to the external device. In other embodiments, the mote may time-stamp the crack indicator for indicating a time when the crack was detected. Additionally, the mote may associate other information with the crack indicator such as temperature and acceleration information.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignees: North Carolina State University, DRS C3 & Aviation CompanyInventors: Edward Grant, Matthew David Craver, Carey Merritt, Kyle Luthy, Jonathan Simmons, Kyle Roberts, Norman V.
