Patent number: 11936751Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring online activity may include providing, by a server of a linking system, a cookie of the linking system to a client device responsive to receiving a first request from a first resource to access a first link encoded by the linking system and linked to a second resource. The server may identify from the first request, the cookie, the first resource and the second resource. The server may receive from the client device, a second request to access a second link that is encoded by the linking system and linked to a third resource. The server may identify from the second request, the same cookie provided to the client device and the third resource. The server may identify, via the cookie provided to the client device, that the client device has accessed the first, second and third resources.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Inventors: Christopher Comstock, Robert Platzer

Patent number: 9892503Abstract: A reticle that is within specifications is inspected to generate baseline candidate defects and their location and size. After using the reticle in photolithography, the reticle is inspected to generate current candidate defects and their location and size. An inspection report of filtered candidate defects and their images is generated so that these candidate defects include a first subset of the current candidate defects and their images and exclude a second subset of the current candidate defects and their images. Each of the first subset of candidate defects has a location and size that fails to match any baseline candidate defect's location and size, and each of the excluded second subset of candidate defects has a location and size that matches a baseline candidate defect's location and size.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Chun Guan, Yalin Xiong, Joseph M. Blecher, Robert A. Comstock, Mark J. Wihl

Patent number: 9518935Abstract: A reticle that is within specifications is inspected so as to generate a baseline event indicating a location and a size value for each unusual reticle feature. After using the reticle in photolithography, the reticle is inspected so as to generate a current event indicating a location and a size value for each unusual reticle feature. An inspection report of candidate defects and their images is generated so that these candidate defects include a first subset of the current events and their corresponding candidate defect images and exclude a second subset of the current events and their corresponding excluded images. Each of the first included events has a location and size value that fails to match any baseline event's location and size value, and each of the excluded second events has a location and size value that matches a baseline event's location and size value.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Chun Guan, Yalin Xiong, Joseph M.

Patent number: 7662759Abstract: Decontamination formulations with an additive for enhancing mold remediation. The formulations include a solubilizing agent (e.g., a cationic surfactant), a reactive compound (e.g., hydrogen peroxide), a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, a water-soluble bleaching activator (e.g., propylene glycol diacetate or glycerol diacetate), a mold remediation enhancer containing Fe or Mn, and water. The concentration of Fe2+ or Mn2+ ions in the aqueous mixture is in the range of about 0.0001% to about 0.001%. The enhanced formulations can be delivered, for example, as a foam, spray, liquid, fog, mist, or aerosol for neutralization of chemical compounds, and for killing certain biological compounds or agents and mold spores, on contaminated surfaces and materials.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Sandia CorporationInventors: Mark D.

Publication number: 20070023103Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a non-oriented electrical steel with improved magnetic properties and improved resistance to ridging, brittleness, nozzle clogging and magnetic aging. The chromium bearing steel is produced from a steel melt which is cast as a thin slab or conventional slab, cooled, hot rolled and/or cold rolled into a finished strip. The finished strip is further subjected to at least one annealing treatment wherein the magnetic properties are developed, making the steel sheet of the present invention suitable for use in electrical machinery such as motors or transformers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2006Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventors: Jerry Schoen, Robert Comstock

Publication number: 20060151142Abstract: Non-oriented electrical steels are widely used as the magnetic core material in a variety of electrical machinery and devices, particularly in motors where low core loss and high magnetic permeability in all directions of the strip are desired. A method for producing a non-oriented electrical steel with low core loss and high magnetic permeability provides a steel that is produced from a steel melt which is cast as a thin strip or sheet, cooled, hot rolled and/or cold rolled into a finished strip. The finished strip is further subjected to at least one annealing treatment wherein the magnetic properties are developed, making the steel strip suitable for use in electrical machinery such as motors or transformers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventors: Jerry Schoen, Robert Comstock
