Abstract: A system for generating task schedules using an electronic device includes: a processor, the processor comprising neural networks; a memory coupled to the processor; a scheduler coupled to the processor, the scheduler is configured to: receive: a total work database configured to contain items representing work packages; a resources database configured to contain items representing resources required to fulfill items in the work packages; a constraints database configured to contain items representing constraints to fulfilling items in the work packages; and a scheduling objective database configured to designate a prime objective that is to be achieved by the optimum task schedule; provide a trained reinforcement learning engine for optimizing the task schedule based on inputs from the databases; and generate an optimum work package schedule to sequence the work packages using the trained reinforcement learning engine, wherein the optimum work package schedule maximizes the one or more prime objectives.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a filter with a generally rectangular, non-cylindrical profile. The filter may have multiple pleat packs positioned between pleat covers that define regions and flow channels in a cavity of the filter body. The pleat covers have openings that allow a fluid to flow through the multiple pleat packs via parallel flows or series flows. End caps bonded to the body define flow passages for directing the fluid from an inlet to an outlet via the pleat packs for series or parallel filtration. The pleat packs may be made of the same or different materials and may be configured with the same or different heights based on flow requirements. A cage or a separator may be positioned between the pleat packs. The pleat packs may be made of a continuous pleated membrane with bridges defining a space between the pleat packs to accommodate the cage or separator.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to connection systems for fluid connections. Even more particularly, some embodiments relate to fluid connections for use with semiconductor manufacturing fluids. The connection system uses a connection nut (110) that seals fluid fittings (112, 114) with less than 360 degrees of rotation of the connection nut by making use of multi-start threads in the nut (110). According to one embodiment, the connection nut creates at least 360 degrees of threaded engagement with less than 360 degrees of rotation. Embodiments further provide connection systems that can seal multiple ports simultaneously.
