Patent number: 11972940Abstract: Methods of selectively depositing a carbon-containing layer are described. Exemplary processing methods may include flowing a first precursor over a substrate comprising a metal surface and a non-metal surface to form a first portion of an initial carbon-containing film on the metal surface. The methods may include removing a first precursor effluent from the substrate. A second precursor may then be flowed over the substrate to react with the first portion of the initial carbon-containing layer. The methods may include removing a second precursor effluent from the substrate. The methods may include pre-treating the metal surface of the substrate to form a metal oxide surface on the metal surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Xinke Wang, Bhaskar Jyoti Bhuyan, Zeqing Shen, Susmit Singha Roy, Abhijit Basu Mallick, Jiecong Tang, John Sudijono, Mark Saly

Publication number: 20240093845Abstract: A system may have a support structure that separates an exterior region from an interior region. The system may include a lighting system with interior and/or exterior lights with adjustable diffusers. An interior light may be used as a task light, a cabin light, a sensor indicator light, or a trim light. Adjustments to the adjustable diffusers can be used to adjust the angular spread of emitted light for operation in different lighting modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Clarisse Mazuir, Paul J Costa, Stephen B Lynch, Kurt R Stiehl, Christopher P Child, Xiaofeng Tang, Christopher L Porritt, Michael C Wharton, Peter F Masschelein, Mark A Zurcher, Xin Li, Ryan J Garrone

Publication number: 20240087019Abstract: A method of trading electrical energy is provided. The method comprises a smart agent receiving state data affecting electricity usage within an electrical power grid over a specified time period and forecasting, with a supply/demand model, supply and demand for electricity within the power grid according to the state data. The smart agent uses a reinforced learning neural network to calculate a price for electricity according the state data and forecasted supply and demand. The smart agent submits an order to a matching engine to buy or sell electricity on the power grid at the calculated price according to specified market rules. The smart engine receives an acknowledgment from the matching engine if the order is matched to another agent on the power grid or a rejection from the matching engine if the order is not matched to another agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: James Rilett, Isabel Tang, Raza Hassan, Simon Thorne, Mark Gilleeney, Tim de Knegt, Lachlan McLachlan

Publication number: 20240068238Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to roofing products, for example, suitable for use covering and protecting the roofs of structures. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a roofing product including an upper section and an exposed section. The roofing product includes a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a plurality of zones of roofing granules disposed on the top surface of the substrate. The plurality of zones includes first, second and third zones within the exposed section. The first zone includes a first collection of algae-resistant roofing granules and has a first algae-resistance intensity. The second zone includes a second collection of algae-resistant roofing granules and has a second algae-resistance intensity. The third zone has a third algae-resistance intensity that is different from the first algae-resistance intensity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Xiaofeng Tang, Shuang Liu, Robert L. Jenkins, Mark W. Simon

Patent number: 10867821Abstract: A method of teaching the target body edge position includes moving a photoelectric sensor optical axis to an initial position specified on the target body edge outer side installed so that the target body main surface is horizontal, and specified upper or lower than the target body, repeating an optical axis forward cycle until the target body edge is detected by the sensor, and obtaining the target body edge detected point position based on the substrate transfer robot posture when the target body edge is detected by the sensor to store the edge position. A movement cycle includes a series of movements including lifting or lowering passing through a height level of the target body, forward movement by a first movement amount in a horizontal scanning direction toward the target body, lowering or lifting passing through the level, and forward movement by the first movement amount in the scanning direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignees: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KAWASAKI ROBOTICS (USA), INC.Inventors: Tetsuya Yoshida, Mark Tang
