The charging system includes at least one autonomous charging robot having a charging battery pack, the charging bot to drive to the selected electric vehicle as directed by the system controller, the charging robot including an interface unit to automatically couple to a charging port of the selected electric vehicle and charge the vehicle battery pack from the charging battery pack.

Abstract: A controller of a chemical mechanical polishing system is configured to cause a carrier head to sweep across a polishing pad in accord with a sweep profile. The controller is also configured to select values for a plurality of control parameters to minimize a difference between a target removal profile and an expected removal profile. The plurality of control parameters include a plurality of dwell time parameters. A relationship between the plurality of control parameters and a removal rate is stored in a data structure representing a first matrix which includes a plurality of columns including a column for each dwell time parameter and a row for each position on the substrate represented in the expected removal profile, and the controller is configured to, as part of selection of the values, calculate the expected removal profile by multiplying the first matrix by a second matrix representing control parameter values.

Abstract: A dynamic aspiration method including engaging a distal end of an aspiration catheter against an occlusion in a blood vessel, applying a vacuum through an aspiration lumen of the aspiration catheter using a vacuum source coupled to a proximal end of the aspiration lumen by a connecting tube, whereby portions of the occlusion are drawn into the aspiration lumen, through the connecting tube and into a collection receptacle by the vacuum source, sensing flow through the connecting tube, and automatically generating pressure differentials when a clog or restricted flow is detected.

Abstract: A cladded article may include a first metallic layer, a clad layer, and a first solid-state welding interface region positioned between the clad layer and the first metallic layer. The clad layer may include a first clad layer region having a first clad layer thickness in a thickness direction of the clad layer and a second clad layer region having a second clad layer thickness in the thickness direction of the clad layer. The second clad layer thickness may be greater than the first clad layer thickness.

Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus has a platen to support a polishing pad, a carrier head comprising a rigid housing and configured to hold a surface of a substrate against the polishing pad, a motor to generate relative motion between the platen and the carrier head so as to polish the substrate, an in-situ carrier head monitoring system including a sensor positioned to interact with the housing and to detect vibrational motion of the housing and generate signals based on the detected vibrational motion, and a controller. The controller is configured to generate a value for a carrier head status parameter based on received signals from the in-situ carrier head monitoring system, and change a polishing parameter or generate an alert based on the carrier head status parameter.

Abstract: A container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies. The latch assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. The lid may have a handle that has a stowed and a carry position, where the handle may be maintained in the stowed position until acted upon by a first force greater than a threshold force to move the handle from the stowed position to the carry position. Similarly, when in the carry position, the handle may be maintained in the carry position until acted upon by a second force greater than the threshold force to move the handle from the carry position to the stowed position.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques can be provided for processing an oil-containing material with an alcohol-based solvent to extract oil from the material. In some examples, a system includes an extractor configured to process an oil-containing feedstock. The extractor receives the oil-containing feedstock and conveys the material from an inlet to an outlet through the extractor. The extractor also receives an alcohol-based solvent at a solvent inlet and conveys the solvent through the extractor to a solvent outlet. The alcohol-based solvent may be ethanol. A concentration of oil in the feedstock may decrease as the feedstock moves through the extractor from the inlet to the outlet while the concentration of the oil in the solvent increases.
