Patent number: 10105811Abstract: An eddy current monitoring system may include an elongated core. One or more coils may be coupled with the elongated core for producing an oscillating magnetic field that may couple with one or more conductive regions on a wafer. The core may be translated relative to the wafer to provide improved resolution while maintaining sufficient signal strength. An eddy current monitoring system may include a DC-coupled marginal oscillator for producing an oscillating magnetic field at a resonant frequency, where the resonant frequency may change as a result of changes to one or more conductive regions. Eddy current monitoring systems may be used to enable real-time profile control.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: G. Laurie Miller, Boguslaw A. Swedek, Manoocher Birang

Patent number: 9569414Abstract: The present invention provides an approach and corresponding framework that separates data from its formatting/view by generating the dynamic JavaScript (data) as a set (e.g., at least one) of JavaScript (data) objects, without any HTML formatting. Then, a set of JavaScript functions can be created that takes the set of JavaScript objects as a parameter, and outputs all or a subset of this data object in a format determined by this JavaScript function. In general, these formatting functions can be static, rather than dynamic, JavaScript. This approach has the advantage of providing a much greater degree of formatting flexibility, without the need for each new format to establish a connection with the back-end system providing the data.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jennifer Lai, Zhiqiang Liu, Brian J. McDonald, Laurie Miller, Yael Ravin, Karen A. Ughetta

Patent number: 7243969Abstract: A modular storage apparatus having a base member comprised of an outer shell and an interior support frame. The outer shell has a bottom surface configured to attach to the tie down bolts of a rear seating support of a typical Sports Utility Vehicle. A top surface may be reversibly inset within lateral support walls to serve as a base for cargo contained in various attachments. One or more compartments contained within the outer shell may be actuated between an open and closed position by sliding each compartment along an opposing pair of interior support frame members. The outer shell, in combination with moveable magnets and threaded engagement means, provides support for various cargo containing attachment members.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Inventors: F. Todd Miller, Laurie A. Miller

Patent number: 4924035Abstract: A twist on electrical connector is provided, comprising a moulded thermoplastic cap and a wire coil insert therefore. The cap is a thin walled structure, and the coil is in substantially intimate contact along its entire length within the innermost, wire retaining portion, of the cap. A plurality of radially extending ribs, having substantial height and width, is formed on the outer periphery of the cap, at least in the upper portion thereof. The outwardly extending ribs provide a better finger grip, and are generally spaced apart such that the distance between any two adjacent ribs is below the 2-point threshold of discrimination for a human finger. The ribs permit better heat dissipation from the interior of the cap, in the event of heat build up therein; and the generally thin walled construction permits easy injection moulding techniques with relatively quick mould cycle times.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1988Date of Patent: May 8, 1990Assignee: Marr Electric LimitedInventors: H.
