A cable has a first end electrically connected to a radiofrequency power output of the radiofrequency power meter and a second end connected to a test load that has an impedance that substantially matches the reference output impedance of the reference box. A controller is connected in data communication with a data interface of the radiofrequency power meter.

Abstract: A plasma processing chamber has an upper window with a coil disposed above the upper window. A coil connection enclosure is disposed above the coil. A metrology enclosure is disposed above the coil connection enclosure. A spectral reflectometry system is disposed within the metrology enclosure. The spectral reflectometry system includes an optical collimator positioned to direct a beam of light through an opening in the metrology enclosure, an opening in the coil connection enclosure, and the upper window into the plasma processing chamber. The optical collimator is also configured to receive reflected light from within the plasma processing chamber, where the reflected light passes through the upper window and through the opening in the coil connection enclosure and through the opening in the metrology enclosure. A tip angle and a tilt angle of the optical collimator are remotely adjusted to optimize an orientation of the optical collimator.

Abstract: A junction system for a direct-drive radiofrequency power supply includes a first terminal connected to a radiofrequency signal supply pin that is connected to an output of a direct-drive radiofrequency signal generator. The junction system also includes a second terminal connected to a coil of a plasma processing chamber. The junction system includes a reactive circuit connected between the first terminal and the second terminal. The reactive circuit is configured to transform a shaped-amplified square waveform signal into a shaped-sinusoidal signal in route from the first terminal to the second terminal. The reactive circuit includes a variable capacitor having a capacitance set so that a peak amount of radiofrequency power is transmitted from the direct-drive radiofrequency signal generator through the reactive circuit to the coil.

Abstract: A behavioral sensor for creating consumable events can include: a feature extractor coupled to receive an event stream of events performed by a circuit, wherein the feature extractor identifies features of a particular event of the event stream and associates the particular event with a time; and a classifier coupled to receive the features of the particular event from the feature extractor, wherein the classifier classifies the particular event into a classified event associated with the time using predefined categories based on the received features of the particular event; whereby the classified event and subsequent classified events extracted from the event stream within a time frame are appended in a time series forming the consumable events.

Abstract: A method for providing an alternate communication pathway for emergency data to an emergency service provider (ESP) is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more processors of said emergency assistance system (EAS) implement the method for using social media content to detect and facilitate emergency communications.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for facilitating emergency communications by an emergency management system. In one embodiment, a method for facilitating emergency communications comprises: identifying a user potentially affected by an emergency; providing an emergency response message to a communication device associated with the user; receiving confirmation of the emergency; in response to receiving confirmation of the emergency, initiating an autonomous communication session with the user through the communication device; extracting emergency information from the autonomous communication session; and providing the emergency information to an emergency service provider (ESP).

Abstract: A system and method for generating and transmitting emergency messages and for maintaining real-time emergency communications sessions between users and emergency dispatch centers. A system receives data transmitted from a user device and constructs an emergency message related to a specific type of emergency scenario as well as the location, meta-data and background information of the user. The generated emergency message is transmitted via a communications network and delivered to an appropriate emergency dispatch center. The method enables the user to deliver a detailed request for help regardless of his or her location or, in another instance, delivers the basic emergency response related information for the user. The generated emergency message is universally compatible with emergency communications center infrastructure so long as the communications centers possess basic voice call equipment.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and media capable of generating and implementing emergency flows. The emergency flow is highly customizable and can connect with various stakeholders (user, emergency contacts, corporate representatives, emergency service provider personnel, etc.). The systems, methods, and media can be triggered in various ways including user input (e.g. voice command) or by sensors (e.g. by using sound detection capabilities).
