  • Patent number: 11636502
    Abstract: A computer system may access an attributization rule and convert, based on the attributization rule, profile data into attributes for a robust recipient profile. The system may identify, based on tag logic, tags that are associated with the attributes. The tag logic may include instructions to compare the attributes with predetermined attributes associated with the tags. The system may map the identified tags to the recipient identifier. The system may perform communication with a mobile device based on the robust recipient profile and a real-time location of the mobile device. To perform the communication, the system may monitor the plurality of data channels for data comprising real-time location information for the mobile device. The system may determine the mobile device is proximate to a physical object that is associated with the tag and the system may transmit offer information to the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20220333494
    Abstract: A hybrid three-layer system is presented. The hybrid three-layer system includes a two-layer composite system and an additively manufactured third layer comprising a lattice structure. The composite layer system includes a metallic substrate, a structured surface, and a thermal protection system. The structured surface may be additively manufactured onto the metallic substrate and includes structured surface features formed to project above the metallic substrate. Each of the structured surface features are separated from adjacent structured surface features by grooves. The thermal protection coating may be thermally sprayed onto the structured surface and is bonded to each of the structured surface features. The lattice structure is in contact with a surface of the metallic substrate of the composite layer system.

  • Publication number: 20220177239
    Abstract: A vacuum nozzle includes a main body and at least one auxiliary body. The main body has a first open end and a second open end. The first open end is coupleable to a vacuum hose and the second open end is configured for receiving materials to be transferred. The auxiliary body has a first auxiliary opening and a second auxiliary opening. The first auxiliary opening is positioned closer to the first open end of the main body than the second open end of the main body. The second auxiliary opening covers a portion of the second open end of the main body. The auxiliary body provides a dedicated auxiliary passageway for providing a consistent flow of air to the second open end of the main body when the vacuum nozzle is in use.

  • Patent number: 11295960
    Abstract: A method of etching a silicon oxide film with high precision at high selectivity as compared with a silicon nitride film while establishing both of a higher etching rate of the silicon oxide film and a lower etching rate of the silicon nitride film is provided. An etching method according to the present invention is directed to a dry etching method for etching a film structure without using plasma in which an end of a film layer having a silicon oxide film vertically sandwiched between silicon nitride films and laminated and formed in advance on a wafer disposed in a processing chamber forms a side wall of a groove or a hole while a processing gas is supplied into the processing chamber, the method including the steps of: supplying a hydrogen fluoride gas; cooling the wafer to a low temperature of ?30° C. or lower, preferably, to ?30 to ?60° C.; and etching the silicon oxide film laterally from the end.
