  • Patent number: 11868147
    Abstract: A system may be configured to monitor an amount of a gas species in a processing chamber using Optical Emission Spectrometry. The gas measurement may be provided as feedback to a control process that generates a target setpoint for a gas flow controller into the process chamber. This real-time process may increase/decrease the flow rate of the gas in order to maintain a process deposition mode within a transition region between primarily metallic deposition and primarily compound deposition.

  • Publication number: 20220171394
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling autonomous vehicle test trips are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer implemented method includes obtaining, by a computing system, data indicative of a test trip index associated with an autonomous vehicle. The test trip index includes a plurality of test trips for the autonomous vehicle and each test trip is associated with one or more test trip parameters. The method includes obtaining, by the computing system, data indicating that the autonomous vehicle is available to travel in accordance with at least one of the test trips of the test trip index. The method includes selecting, by the computing system and from the test trip index, at least one selected test trip for the autonomous vehicle. The method includes causing, by the computing system, the autonomous vehicle to travel in accordance with the test trip parameters associated with the at least one selected test trip.

  • Patent number: 11335577
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to minimize electromagnetic interference between adjacent process chambers of a cluster tool are described. The start time of the subject recipe is controlled based on the electromagnetic process window of the subject process chamber, the electromagnetic window of the first adjacent process chamber and of an optional second adjacent process chamber. The start time of the subject process chamber is controlled to prevent temporal overlap of the electromagnetic window of the subject chamber with the electromagnetic window of an adjacent chamber.

  • Patent number: 10439973
    Abstract: A system operating on a computing device can determine a set of location data points of the computing device during progress of a transport service, and can transmit the set of location data points to a network service. The system can transmit, to the network service, a message indicating that the transport service has been completed. The system determines whether a predetermined duration of time has elapsed since transmitting the message indicating that the transport service has been completed, during which a predefined message has not been received by the application from the network service. The predefined message is associated with a confirmation that the transport service has been processed by the network service. If the predetermined duration of time has elapsed during which the predefined message has not been received, the system displays first content as opposed to second content on the computing device.

  • Patent number: 9800525
    Abstract: Some examples enable profile-based management of multiple communication channels and associated communication services on an electronic device. For example, role-based profiles may be used to manage and filter communications from various contacts. A profile may be set on the electronic device, such as in response to a user input, or automatically based on a determined context of the electronic device. For instance, the context may be determined from one or more of a physical location of the electronic device, a time of day, a day of the week, or a detected activity of the user. Further, some examples include a unified communication interface that may enable a user to select a contact to receive a communication, and the electronic device may select a communication channel for communicating with the selected contact based at least in part on the profile currently set for the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9571554
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems of providing directed interaction from one or more presenter devices to one or more participant devices. Directed interaction allows one or more presenters to change application state, device settings, or both on the participant devices. Within the constraints imposed by the presenter device, the participant devices may be able to change content presentation, position, and so forth. The participant devices may also generate participant status data, which may be provided to the presenter devices.

  • Patent number: 9491237
    Abstract: A system and method for sharing content with a group of devices based on proximity. A sharing device transmits an SSID and an audio signal containing a key. The audio signal may be controlled to limit the area in which the audio signal may be received or heard by a receiving device. For example, the audio signal may be controlled to limit receipt to a device at a same table (a few feet away from the first device), in a same room, etc. This allows the sharer to selectively share content with one or more receiving devices without sharing with all devices in proximity to the first device.

  • Publication number: 20160110836
    Abstract: A transport request for a transport service for a user can be received from a user device. Based, at least in part, on information from the transport request, a computing system can determine that the transport request is subject to one or more rules stored in a rules database accessible by the computing system. In response to determining that the transport request is subject to one or more rules, the computing system can determine whether the transport request is valid based, at least in part, on the one or more rules and information from the transport request. In response to determining that the transport request is valid, the transport request can be processed to select a driver to provide the transport service for the user. In addition, the cost for the transport service can be paid by an entity other than the user.
