  • Patent number: 11675278
    Abstract: An exhaust stream monitoring system for a photolithography track of an IC fabrication process comprises a reaction chamber including a housing, an inflow port and an outflow port, the housing containing a thermal plate for heating a semiconductor process wafer for a predetermined amount of time. An influent pipe coupled to the inflow port supplies a photoresist adhesion promoter in a gaseous form to the reaction chamber. An effluent pipe coupled to the outflow port is operative to remove byproducts from the reaction chamber as an exhaust stream. At least one gas sensor manifold assembly is coupled to the effluent pipe for monitoring the exhaust stream from the reaction chamber to detect presence of one or more byproducts of a reaction between the photoresist adhesion promoter and the semiconductor process wafer.

  • Publication number: 20230131470
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a concept for determining the relevance of a tag within a post. Responsive to receiving a post composed by a first user and containing a tag referring to a second user, a post context based on a topic of the post, a user context based on a record of the first user and a tag context based on a record of the second user are obtained. The post context and the user context are compared to the tag context, and it is determined whether the tag is relevant to the post and the first user based on comparing the post context and the user context to the tag context.

  • Publication number: 20230084178
    Abstract: This present invention describes methods and systems for integrating liquid-phase, electrochemical and chemical processes into power generation, petrochemical, metal, cement and other industrial process plants, in such a manner as to capture and recycle all input carbon into cost-competitive hydrogen, oxygen and hydrocarbons. These integrated systems will recover internally generated losses in chemical potential (AG Gibbs Free or Available Energy) as well as waste heat (?H—Enthalpy), and sometimes electricity, to assist in driving these electrochemical and chemical processes, which will increase the total useful output of the process plants, thereby increasing thermal, carbon and economic efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230061708
    Abstract: A computer system may modify the user interactions by receiving, by a computer system, a sequence of image frames in a time period, from a camera application on a mobile device, wherein the time period starts before and ends after a shutter is activated on the camera application; monitoring, by a computer system, movement of the mobile device within the time period; calculating a movement score for a user of the mobile device, by analyzing the sequence of image frames and the movement of the mobile device; and using the movement score to modify the user's interaction with the mobile device interface.
