Abstract: A method for calibrating a fabrication system including selecting, from multiple recipes, a calibration recipe including a first process parameter for performing a fabrication process on a substrate, including: for each recipe and for two or more substrates, characterization data representative of the fabrication process performed on the two or more substrates using the recipe is received. A second process parameter is determined from the first and second states of the substrates, and a process relationship is determined between the first process parameter and the second process parameter for the recipe. The calibration recipe is selected from the multiple recipes based on the respective process relationships, a threshold variation for the process relationship is determined between the first and the second process parameter; and the calibration recipe and the threshold variation are provided for calibrating the fabrication system.

Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure include methods of chucking and de-chucking a substrate. A method of chucking a substrate to a surface of an electrostatic chuck includes applying a first voltage to a chucking electrode in the ESC during a chucking time interval, supplying an inert gas at a first pressure to a backside of the substrate during the chucking time interval, applying a second voltage to the chucking electrode in the ESC after the chucking time interval, the second voltage being higher than the first voltage, and supplying the inert gas at a second pressure to the backside of the substrate after the chucking time interval, the second pressure being higher than the first pressure of the inert gas.

Abstract: A method and system for action preset based application programming interface (API) call is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving a natural language instruction from a user, processing the natural language instruction to extract a set of parameters through a large language model, comparing the extracted parameters against a preset database to find a matching action preset, formatting an API request by combining the extracted parameters with default values obtained from the matching action preset, and sending the formatted API request to an external API endpoint to execute the API request.

Abstract: A longarm quilting machine having a frame with an upper arm and a lower arm. A needle bar drive mechanism configured to be combined with a needle is combined with a portion of the upper arm and a bobbin hook assembly configured to be combined with a bobbin is combined with a portion of the lower arm. A needle motor is operatively combined with the needle bar drive mechanism and configured to provide torque to the needle bar drive mechanism to cause the needle to move up and down. A bobbin motor is operatively combined with the bobbin hook assembly and configured to provide torque to the bobbin hook assembly causing the bobbin to rotate beneath the needle. A controller is in communication with the needle motor and the bobbin motor to determine whether the components are synchronized and run a synchronization mode upon the occurrence of certain predetermined events.

Abstract: Feature-based clinical interpretation of whole exome and transcriptome data for precision cancer medicine is provided. In various embodiments, genomic data of a subject is received. The genomic data comprises somatic mutations. A plurality of features is determined from the genomic data of the subject. A similarity metric is determined between the plurality of features and each of a plurality of reference genomes. One or more potentially actionable feature is determined from the similarity.

Abstract: A device and method for aiding in the practice of basketball and other games that require a ball to be returned to a player in order to perform repetitive practice routines. The device generally includes a ball catching component and a ball ejection component. The ball catching component catches balls thrown by the player and delivers them to the ball ejection component so that the ball ejection component has a continuous supply of balls. The invention includes a means for tracking a predetermined color worn by a player on the court and returning the ball toward the player's current position after a predetermined triggering event has occurred.
