  • Patent number: 12576538
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for replacing a photoresist (PR) bottle using a vehicle. An exemplary vehicle includes a processor configured to receive a request signal to replace a first PR bottle. The processor is also configured to transmit an order based on the request signal. The vehicle also includes a plurality of wheels configured to move the vehicle from the first location to a second location, and from the second location to the first location. The vehicle further includes a robotic arm configured to load, at the first location, the first PR bottle into a first container; load a second PR bottle in a second container; remove a cap from the second PR bottle and a socket from the first PR bottle; couple the socket of the first PR bottle to the second PR bottle; and unload the second PR bottle from the second container.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9788145
    Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, a system, method, and device for detecting motion based on channel fading characteristics are presented. One or more packets may be received wirelessly from a wireless transmitter. A fading profile may be determined for each packet. From the plurality of fading profiles, one or more parameters indicative of fading change, changes in shape of fading profiles, fading variance, and of other channel characteristics may be determined. A classifier function may be trained to associate parameter values with a lack of motion, with device motion, or with motion of an object in the vicinity of a stationary wireless-enabled device. The classifier function may be used to determine whether there is motion based on one or more subsequently received packets.
