Abstract: Technologies are provided for detection of anomalous records in a dataset. In some embodiments, a computing system can access a dataset comprising multiple records and at least one configuration attribute, where a first configuration attribute of the at least one configuration attribute is indicative of a detection interval. The computing system also can generate, using a first subset of the multiple records, a detection model to determine presence or absence of an anomalous record within the multiple records. The computing system can select a second subset of the multiple records, wherein the second subset includes second records within the detection interval. The computing system can further generate classification attributes for respective ones of the second records by applying the detection model to the second subset, where a first classification attribute of the classification attributes designates a first one of the second records as either normal or anomalous.

Abstract: A robotic manipulator for handling a cassette and an automated cassette transport device are disclosed, the device including a mechanical arm (1), an end actuator (2) at an end of the mechanical arm (1) and a vision-based locating assembly (3) on the end actuator (2). On the one hand, the vision-based locating assembly (3) can determine the position of a flange of the cassette, thereby identifying the cassette. In other words, the cassette can be identified based on a feature of the cassette itself. This dispense with a separate locating marker while improving cassette measuring and handling accuracy. On the other hand, transportation of the cassette is allowed by complementary retention of its flange on a recessed surface of the end actuator (2).

The method includes: the sealed chamber where the rock sample placed is vacuumed in the first place, and then the radon released during rock sample shearing damage process is all collected into the radon collection box, and then the concentration of the radon collected in the radon collection box is measured with a radon concentration measure instrument, so that the purity of the radon collected in the radon collection box can be ensured, and thus the accuracy of the concentration of radon measured by the radon concentration measure instrument can be ensured, and the device and method have good practicability.

Abstract: A cassette transport device is disclosed which includes a smart cart, a base expansion frame mounted on the smart cart and a cassette-loading frame fixed to the base expansion frame. The cassette-loading frame is partitioned into several segments each accommodating a plurality of cassette trays. Each of the cassette trays defines, on its surface, a first trough and a second trough in the first trough. The first trough is configured to retain a cassette of a first size, and the second trough is configured to retain a cassette of a second size. With the first and second troughs, each of the cassette trays is able to retain a cassette of either the first or second size, making the cassette transport device possible to be used in transportation of the both types of cassettes with a high yield. Moreover, the smart cart is capable of automated transportation without human intervention or track construction while enabling savings in transportation cost, time and labor.

Abstract: An apparatus for correcting the shape of a reticle, including: suckers; a sucker mounting frame; and a pneumatic control system, wherein the sucker mounting frame is disposed above a reticle stage, the suckers are mounted on a bottom of the sucker mounting frame in a manner of being spaced apart from one another; and the pneumatic control system is configured to control the suckers to retain the reticle by suction or to release the reticle. The suckers are so arranged that they do not block trapezoidal exposure fields of view on the reticle, thereby allowing a light beam to be fully (100%) incident on the reticle, which results in improved exposure efficiency. The apparatus is mounted separately from a photolithography tool by which it is employed, enabling a lower weight load on the reticle. Additionally, the apparatus is not in contact with any component disposed in the photolithography tool and will not introduce additional external vibration to the tool.
