Abstract: A method to create a member account in a social network, comprising downloading an application programming interface from a social network server, creating a profile, creating a plurality of Identities associated with the profile, creating a different association for each Identity with one or more of a plurality of social network members and users such that all contact with a first social network member is made using exclusively a first Identity and such that all contact with a second social network member is made using exclusively a second Identity, wherein the first Identity differs from the second Identity, and uploading the profile, the plurality of Identities, and the associations of Identities, to the social network server.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and processes provide remote access to virtual objects abstracted from an electronic document. A publisher's electronic document is abstracted into its component virtual objects that are each, in turn, identified. Corresponding computer readable files are formed for respective virtual objects and the computer readable files are indexed. The index is encoded in a non-transitory computer readable medium. Users annotate the virtual objects and the annotations and corresponding annotation metadata are indexed and encoded in the non-transitory computer readable medium. The user annotations are shared amount a plurality of users.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for sampling a gas flow to measure one or more contaminants within a semiconductor processing tool. The system includes a portable unit containing one or more dry traps, Tenax traps and, if desired, wet impingers. The unit is coupled to a gas flow in a clean room and the dry traps. Tenax traps and wet impingers measure contaminants contained in the gas supply for a determined sampling interval. When the sampling interval is done, the unit is sent to an analysis facility for processing.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment includes a method for monitoring the performance of a filter positioned in an airstream in a semiconductor processing system. The method includes sampling the airstream at a location upstream of the filter to detect the molecular contaminants present in the airstream; identifying a target species of the contaminants upstream; selecting a non-polluting species of a contaminant having a concentration greater than a concentration of the target species; measuring the non-polluting species in the airstream at a plurality of locations; and determining the performance of the filter with respect to the target species from measurements of the non-polluting species. The plurality of locations includes a location downstream of the filter and at a location within the filter. Further, the method for monitoring includes generating a numerical representation of a chromatogram of the airstream sampled at a location upstream of the filter.

Abstract: The present invention provides passive sampling systems and methods for monitoring contaminants in a semiconductor processing system. In one embodiment, that passive sampling system comprises a collection device in fluid communication with a sample line that provides a flow of gas from a semiconductor processing system. The collection device is configured to sample by diffusion one or more contaminants in the flow of gas.
