  • Publication number: 20250165591
    Abstract: A system configured to obtain current trace data associated with a substrate processing system and provide the trace data as input to a first predictive subsystem trained to detect anomalies using a first technique. Responsive to detecting an anomaly in the trace data, the system provides the trace data as input to a second predictive subsystem trained to detect anomalies using a second technique. Output data obtained from the first predictive subsystem and the second predictive subsystem is provided to a third predictive subsystem. Output data from the third predictive subsystem is obtained. The output data is reflective of a trace shape associated with the anomaly. Based on the trace shape, a type of issue that caused the anomaly in the trace data is identified.

  • Publication number: 20250163338
    Abstract: A method of treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstock is carried out by introducing a non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing gums and/or resins into a reactor at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to convert the feedstock to a reactor product. The reactor product is cooled to form a cooled reactor product. Gases, metals, and water from the cooled reactor product are separated and removed to form a final product. The final product has a gum or resin content that is reduced by 10 wt % to 100 wt % by weight of the initial gum and resin content of the feedstock.
