  • Patent number: 11718905
    Abstract: Techniques for depositing a functionally integrated coating structure on a substrate are provided. An example method according to the disclosure includes receiving the substrate into a process chamber of a multi-process ion beam assisted deposition system, disposing the substrate in a first zone including a first evaporator species and a first ion beam, wherein the first evaporator species is Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3), disposing the substrate in a second zone including a second evaporator species and a second ion beam, wherein the second evaporator species is Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3), and disposing the substrate in a third zone including a third evaporator species and a third ion beam, wherein the third evaporator species is Yttrium Fluoride (YF3).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7912231
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for reducing audio noise are disclosed. One or more sound components such as noise and network tone can be detected based on power spectrum obtained from a time-domain signal. Results of such detection can be used to make decisions in determination of an adjustment spectrum that can be applied to the power spectrum. The adjusted spectrum can be transformed back into a time-domain signal that substantially removes undesirable noise(s) and/or accounts for known sound components such as the network tone.
