Abstract: A power supply system controls the source impedance of a generator utilizing two amplifiers having asymmetrical power profiles in reference to a nominal load impedance that are diametrically opposite in reference to the nominal load impedance. Variations in power profiles may be achieved by using different topologies for each of the amplifiers or implementing a phase delay network. The output power from the first and second amplifiers may be combined using a combiner circuit or device and the output power from the combiner is transmitted to a plasma load. The output power of each amplifier may be independently controlled to alter one or more characteristics of the output power signal provided by the individual amplifiers. By changing the ratio of the output power of the first amplifier to the output power of the second amplified, the source impedance of the generators may be varied.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method can receive a new plan deviation alert having a deviation level that quantifies a mismatch between expected supply chain parameters specified by a supply chain plan and observed supply chain parameters. Responsive to the new plan deviation alert, the method can perform a rule-based search to find a plurality of potential remediation solutions to correct the mismatch. The method can simulate implementation of the potential remediation solutions and evaluate expended resources associated with them.

The method can receive a selected remediation solution from the ranked list of candidate remediation solutions for initiation. Machine learning can be used on an expert user's selection to adapt to the expert's preferences and provide more relevant remediation solutions.
