  • Patent number: 12105424
    Abstract: Examples described herein provide a system, a software application, and a method of a lithography process to write multiple tones in a single pass. A system includes a stage and a lithography system. The lithography system includes image projection systems, a controller, and memory. The controller is coupled to the memory, which stores instruction code. Execution of the instruction code by the controller causes the controller to control the stage and the image projection systems to iteratively expose a photoresist supported by the stage and to move the stage relative to the image projection systems a step distance between sequential pairs of the exposures. Each exposure includes using write beam(s) projected from the image projection systems. Each exposure is at a respective one of different dosage amounts. An accumulation of the different dosage amounts is a full tone dosage amount for the photoresist.

  • Publication number: 20240307265
    Abstract: A system for facilitating the effective administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by providing feedback regarding release velocity, which is the velocity of the chest while resiliently expanding during the upstroke of a CPR compression cycle. The feedback is provided, indicating whether the CPR provider has substantially released the chest, through a control systems which analyzes sensor input corresponding to chest displacement to determine chest compression depth and release velocity, compares the determined release velocity to a desired release velocity threshold. The desired release velocity is determined based on the depth of compression. The desired release velocity may be determined based on assumed or target compression depth, selected by a CPR provider and input into the control system, or the desired release velocity may be determined adaptively, based on the chest compression depth achieved during compressions and/or the rate of compressions, as determined by the control system.

  • Publication number: 20240294409
    Abstract: A biogas treatment process is integrated with a water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water and to provide more effective disinfection of the water. A water wash process is utilized to separate methane and carbon dioxide present in the biogas. During the water wash process, the biogas is mixed with water and the carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water. Because the process typically occurs at an elevated pressure and reduced temperature to enhance the solubility of carbon dioxide in water, the water stream becomes supersaturated with carbon dioxide. This water stream, which is supersaturated with carbon dioxide, is provided to the water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water treatment process. The pH level is regulated to a desired level such that an increased relative concentration of hypochlorous acid is produced when sodium hypochlorite is added to the treatment process.
