  • Patent number: 12159260
    Abstract: A warehouse coordination system receives warehouse data that represents a current warehouse state, and performance data that represents historical performance of warehouse workers. The warehouse coordination system generates and stores enhanced warehouse data, and provides the data for a plan creation user interface for a warehouse process. The warehouse coordination system receives, through the plan creation user interface, user input that indicates workers to be applied to tasks to be performed over a shift for the warehouse process, and a simulation command to perform a simulation of the tasks. In response to receiving the simulation command, the warehouse coordination system performs a simulation of tasks according to the user inputs, and stores a simulated warehouse process plan that specifies the tasks. The warehouse coordination system receives real-time data that indicates tasks being performed over the shift, and provides the data for a performance monitoring interface for the warehouse process.

  • Publication number: 20240374422
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a body and a pair of rigid legs extending from the body. The body includes an engagement feature configured to engage a deployment instrument. The legs are parallel with each other. Each leg has a sharp tip. The legs both extend along a plane. The body defines a guide opening. The guide opening is oriented transversely relative to the plane associated with the legs. The guide opening is sized to receive a cannula having a generally flat profile. The guide opening is configured to guide the cannula through a sclerotomy at a substantially tangential orientation.

  • Publication number: 20240337926
    Abstract: Organometallic radiation resist compositions are described based on tin ions with alkyl ligands. Some of the compositions have branched alkyl ligands to provide for improved patterning contrast while maintaining a high degree of solution stability. Blends of compounds with distinct alkyl ligands can provide further improvement in the patterning. High resolution patterning with a half-pitch of no more than 25 nm can be achieved with a line width roughness of no more than about 4.5 nm. Synthesis techniques have been developed that allow for the formation of alkyl tin oxide hydroxide compositions with very low metal contamination.

  • Publication number: 20240299665
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, an energy storage member, a carrier, a medicament container, and a delivery control mechanism. The housing defines a gas chamber configured to receive pressurized gas from the energy storage member to pressurize the gas chamber. The carrier has a proximal surface that defines a portion of the gas chamber. The medicament container is coupled to the carrier and has a distal end portion coupled to a delivery member. The medicament container contains a medicament and includes an elastomeric member that seals the medicament within the medicament container. The delivery control mechanism is coupled to a proximal end portion of the medicament container and includes a flow restriction member for regulating a pressure supplied by the gas chamber and entering into the medicament container that acts on the elastomeric member.

  • Publication number: 20240272557
    Abstract: The processing of radiation patternable organometallic coatings is shown to be improved through the appropriate selection of post processing conditions between coating and development of the pattern. In particular, a coated wafer can be subjected to process delays to allow aging of the coating at various process points, in particular following irradiation. Process delays can be combined and interspersed with heating steps. The atmosphere above the coated wafer at various process steps can be adjusted to obtain desired improvements in the development of the pattern. Reactive gases can be beneficial with respect to improvement of coating properties.
