Abstract: A parylene coating system comprising a single welded reaction and chamber assembly is disclosed, the welded reaction and chamber assembly comprising a reaction zone having a vaporizer and a pyrolysis zone, the vaporizer including a body with one or more openings and a loading door; a deposition chamber for holding one or more specimens and having an inlet, an outlet, a lid, and at least one view port; wherein the pyrolysis zone is positioned between the vaporizer and the deposition chamber and welded at a first end to the vaporizer using a first weldment and at a second, opposing end to the inlet of the chamber using a second weldment. The parylene coating system further comprises a pumping system coupled to the outlet of the chamber and configured to reduce an internal pressure of the assembly to within a target pressure range for parylene deposition.

Abstract: A coating system for parylene deposition may include a chamber, a pumping system having a first and a second pump, where a pumping speed of the first and second pumps is based at least in part on an operating pressure; and a controller, the controller configured by machine-readable instructions to control activation of the first pump to initiate a pump down operation of the chamber, determine a cut-in pressure for switching operation from the first to the second pump, monitor an internal pressure of the chamber, switch operation to the second pump based at least in part on determining that the internal pressure of the chamber is at or below the cut-in pressure; and continue, using the second pump, the pump down operation of the deposition chamber until the internal pressure is at or below a target pressure for parylene deposition.

Abstract: A method for use in evaluating work estimation is provided. The method includes selecting a plurality of work units associated with a time and a level of effort. Each work unit includes one or more tasks. A total estimated duration associated with each work unit is determined based on estimated durations associated with the tasks included in the work unit. An estimation trend corresponding to the level of effort is determined. The estimation trend represents a change over time in the total estimated durations associated with the level of effort. The estimation trend is provided for presentation to a user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing an electric grid are described. One example method includes displaying a dashboard to a user via a computing assembly. The dashboard defines at least two cells. The example method includes receiving, at an input device of the computing assembly, a selection of a first module and appending the first module to a first of the at least two cells of the dashboard. The first module is configured to display, via the display device, at least one of electric grid data and a control to configure the electric grid.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating visual management of an agile development process are provided. A plurality of features to be completed during an Agile development process for a software product may be identified. A respective number of predetermined time units to be allocated for development of each feature may be determined. Based at least in part upon the determination of predetermined time units, each of the features may be assigned to a respective development team included in a plurality of development teams. An illustration of the plurality of features assigned to the plurality of development teams may be generated. The illustration may include, for each feature, a respective identifier of the feature and a respective indication of the predetermined time units allocated to the feature. The generated illustration may be output for display to a user.
