Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for dynamic prioritization of monitoring system related alerts. A plurality of alerts generated for a monitoring system are accessed. A first set of alert features predefined as high-level features are identified, wherein each of the high-level features is mapped to one or more alert features in a second set of alert features predefined as low-level features. The plurality of alerts are processed to determine a plurality of the most central high-level features. The plurality of alerts are grouped according to the plurality of the most central high-level features. Each group of alerts is processed to determine a plurality of the most central low-level features for the alerts in the group of alerts. A prioritized set of alerts are selected from the plurality of alerts based on the plurality of the most central low-level features.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering a content stream is implemented within a content delivery network (CDN) and, in one embodiment, includes the high level functions of recording the stream using a recording tier, and playing the stream using a player tier. For a live stream, the step of recording the stream includes a set of sub-steps that begins when the stream is received at a CDN entry point in a source format. The stream is then converted into an intermediate format (IF), which is an internal format for delivering the stream within the CDN and comprises a stream manifest, a set of one or more fragment indexes (FI), and a set of IF fragments. The player process begins when a requesting client is associated with a CDN HTTP proxy. In response to receipt at the HTTP proxy of a request for the stream or a portion thereof, the HTTP proxy retrieves (either from the archive or the data store) the stream manifest and at least one fragment index.

Abstract: Data is received from multiple data sources. At least one of the data sources is an active audio or video communication. The received data is analyzed by extracting instances of a keyword from the received data and analyzing contextual data near the keyword. Sentiment about the extracted keyword is gauged based on the contextual data. The derived sentiment data from the multiple data sources is aggregated, and an aggregated view of the derived sentiment data is presented.

Abstract: A processor aggregates communications data received from one or more data sources via a communications network. The processor associates the aggregated communications data with supplemental data. The associated communications data is correlated based on temporal data, a tag, a query, and/or a command. A graphical user interface (GUI) is formatted based on the correlated communications data. The formatted GUI is provided to a display device.

Abstract: A transport system is provided to move an article from a conveyance section to a location. The conveyance section transports the article using a pair of transport belts. A lift lowers the article downward between the pair of transport belts. A hoist translates the article beneath the conveyance section to the location while supporting the article from above. The article may include a FOUP, semiconductor wafer, substrate for the manufacture of display devices or photovoltaics. The hoist may comprise a carriage and a gripper configured to grasp and vertically move the article while suspended beneath the carriage.

Abstract: A transport system for conveying articles along conveyance paths including straight, curvilinear, horizontal, inclined and declined conveyance sections. The articles are conveyed between a pair of vertical belts while being supported by protrusions extending from the vertical belts. The vertical belts are guided using a multiplicity of vertical rollers that are configurable into straight, curvilinear and dynamically changing conveyance sections. Multiple conveyance sections can be joined end to end to transport articles over complex paths and over long distances. The articles conveyed may include semiconductor wafers.

Abstract: A transport system for conveying articles along conveyance paths including straight, curvilinear, horizontal, vertical, inclined, and declined conveyance sections optionally physically offset from one another horizontally, vertically, or combinations thereof. The articles are conveyed between a pair of transport belts or rollers and/or by conveyance elements such as a gripper, a robotic hoist, a lift, or an elevator while being optionally supported by protrusions extending from the belts or rollers, secured via a kinematic interface, grasped by a gripper, or supported by air bearings. Multiple conveyance sections, lifts, robotic hoists, grippers, and elevators can be joined, interfaced, and/or integrated over complex paths and arrangements with one another as well as with manufacturing, processing, measurement, and sorting equipment. The articles conveyed may include semiconductor wafers, substrates for the manufacture of display devices or photovoltaics, or the like.

Abstract: Systems for transporting an article using horizontal belts are described. Transport sections include a first horizontal belt and a second horizontal belt, and the belts are separated by a distance configured for placement of the article between them. A plurality of horizontal rollers is configured to guide the belts, and a plurality of support protrusions extends from each of the belts. The protrusions are configured to support a weight of the article. Methods for conveying articles using horizontal belts are described. Methods for loading, unloading, and changing the conveyance path of articles are described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring articles from a transportable container, for example, a SMIF pod, to a second container, for example, a processing station having a port which provides access to the interior region of the processing station. A non-contact seal or an isolation cover or skirt seals the port so that the interior region of the container can be purged of contaminants prior to exposing the interior environment of the processing station to the environment within the container. The purging of the container may be a multi-step process in which the container door is moved between several intermediate positions so that the container door itself is purged prior to the purging of the environment within the container.
