  • Patent number: 12648410
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a chuck structure of a semiconductor cleaning apparatus and a semiconductor cleaning apparatus. The chuck structure includes a chuck base, a gas inlet control device, and a first gas channel and a second gas channel arranged in the chuck base and both configured to spray a gas toward the to-be-processed workpiece. A gas spray direction of the first gas channel is inclined toward the outside of the surface of the to-be-processed workpiece that is opposite to the chuck base. A gas spray direction of the second gas channel is perpendicular to the surface of the to-be-processed workpiece that is opposite to the chuck base. The gas inlet control device is configured to selectively supply the gas to at least one of the first gas channel and the second gas channel to cause the to-be-processed workpiece to be able to float at different height positions.

  • Patent number: 12644720
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for providing driving insights includes a driving insights module programed to receive a set of vehicle conditions, receive a fuel consumption database, and calculate a fuel savings of the vehicle based upon the set of vehicle conditions and the fuel consumption database. For example, the driving insights module can calculate the fuel saved by using an alternative power source compared to the fuel that would have been used by a vehicle operated by an internal combustion engine. In response to detecting an ignition off event, the driving insights module can generate the fuel savings estimate. The driving insights module can further output for display the fuel savings estimate.

  • Publication number: 20260038258
    Abstract: An identity management system may be associated with a software plug-in for input detection of a website. In some examples, the plug-in may obtain, via an image capturing system, an image of the website that includes a set of inputs, where the set of inputs includes an interactive interface element. Using the obtained image, a set of location predictions for the set of inputs of the website may be generated via a machine learning (ML) model. Further, the plug-in may obtain a set of locations of the set of inputs based on generating the set of location predictions. Thus, the plug-in may automatically, and in response to obtaining the set of locations of the set of inputs of the website, input content into the set of inputs of the website, select an interactive interface element on the website, or both, on the behalf of the user.
