Abstract: A power controller comprises a control loop configured to control timing of pulsed signals that activate phases of a coupled inductor voltage regulator based on current demand of a load circuit and comprises a transient detection circuit configured to determine a projected current through a compensation inductor of the coupled inductor voltage regulator based on a state of the phases and operating parameters of the coupled inductor voltage regulator. The transient detection circuit is configured to detect a transient in the current demand of the load circuit based on a variability in phase-to-phase overlap of the pulsed signals. Responsive to detecting the transient, the transient detection circuit is configured to apply a correction to the control loop that alters the timing of the pulsed signals based on the projected current through the compensation inductor.

Abstract: Forming a protective coating ex situ in an atomic layer deposition process to coat one or more chamber components subsequently installed in a reaction chamber provides a number of benefits over more conventional coating methods such as in situ deposition of an undercoat. In certain cases the protective coating may have a particular composition such as aluminum oxide, aluminum fluoride, aluminum nitride, yttrium oxide, and/or yttrium fluoride. The protective coating may help reduce contamination on wafers processed using the coated chamber component. Further, the protective coating may act to stabilize the processing conditions within the reaction chamber, thereby achieving very stable/uniform processing results over the course of processing many batches of wafers, and minimizing radical loss. Also described are a number of techniques that may be used to restore the protective coating after the coated chamber component is used to process semiconductor wafers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A data management system (DMS) may determine to generate a backup instance of an application that includes multiple user accounts. The DMS may identify a time window for generation of the backup instance based on a set of backup parameters associated with the application.

The DMS may determine respective values of a semaphore parameter based on the respective runtime durations and the time window, where the semaphore parameter defines a threshold quantity of data objects to be processed in parallel. The DMS may generate the backup instance of the application based on processing the user accounts in accordance with the respective values of the semaphore parameter.

Abstract: In examples, when attempting to interpolate or extrapolate a frame based on motion vectors of two adjacent frames, there can be more than one pixel value mapped to a given location in the frame. To select between conflicting pixel values for the given location, similarities between the motion vectors of source pixels that cause the conflict and global flow may be evaluated. For example, a level of similarity for a motion vector may be computed using a similarity metric based at least on a difference between an angle of a global motion vector and an angle of the motion vector. The similarity metric may also be based at least on a difference between a magnitude of the global motion vector and a magnitude of the motion vector. The similarity metric may weigh the difference between the angles in proportion to the magnitude of the global motion vector.

The first section is a first mold of at least a portion of one or more first teeth of a dental arch and the second section is a second mold of at least a portion of one or more second teeth of the dental arch.
