  • Publication number: 20240241083
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the changes in resonance frequency in crystal microbalance (CM) sensors and the resulting changes in the determination of incremental mass on the CM sensors caused by temperature. Dual mode resonances and coefficients are used in a deconvolution process to determine and extract the frequency shift caused by temperature to provide the temperature compensated incremental mass (?M). In one embodiment, dual mode analysis is provided using a mass mode (e.g., the c-mode fundamental frequency (fc100)) and a temperature mode (e.g., the anharmonic frequency (fc102)) and associated coefficients. In other embodiments that are more sensitive to temperature changes, dual mode analysis is provided using the b-mode fundamental frequency (fb100) as the temperature-mode and associated coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20240126751
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, at a first data provider, a first query generation request. The method also includes determining whether a first query, that is to be generated based on the first query generation request, is approved. In response to a determination that the first query, that is to be generated, is approved, the method also includes generating the first query. The method further includes sharing the generated first query with a second data provider.

  • Patent number: 11929270
    Abstract: A monitoring device for monitoring a fabrication process in a fabrication system. The monitored fabrication system includes a process chamber and a plurality of flow components. A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor monitors one flow component of the plurality of flow components of the fabrication system and is configured for exposure to a process chemistry in the one flow component during the fabrication process. A controller measures resonance frequency shifts of the QCM sensor due to interactions between the QCM sensor and the process chemistry in the one flow component during the fabrication process. The controller determines a parameter of the fabrication process in the process chamber as a function of the measured resonance frequency shifts of the QCM sensor within the one flow component.

  • Publication number: 20220414600
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the systems and methods built in accordance with the present disclosure may analyze audience engagement with a presentation displayed during a live meeting and may provide feedback to a presenter during and/or after the presentation. In some embodiments, the provided feedback may include determining one or more metrics indicative of participant engagement levels. Participant engagement levels may then be used to adjust live meetings in real-time and/or after the live meeting has ended. A system may include one or more presenter computing devices, one or more participant computing devices and a server system including a data analytics module configured to determine metrics indicative of participant engagement levels.
