  • ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE HAVING ELECTRIC DEVICES IN A DISTRIBUTED ARRANGEMENT
    Publication number: 20230048164
    Abstract: A cable harness supplies a plurality of electric devices which are in a distributed arrangement in a device housing. A first connection point of the cable harness has a plug connector on the side of the cable harness. At least the electric devices which are supplied via the first connection point are connected to the first plug connector on the side of the cable harness by way of a device-side plug connector and an adapter that is plugged together with both plug connectors.
    Type: Application

  • CMP sensor and control system
    Patent number: 8460507
    Abstract: Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) systems comprising apparatus and methods which allow the physical and chemical characteristics of a CMP slurry to be monitored during the polishing process, both on the pad and in the fresh slurry, are provided. The methods and apparatus of the invention also furnish the CMP operator with real-time information about the polishing process, which can provide insight into various chemical and physical mechanisms involved in chemical-mechanical polishing. The data provided by the sensors also make available valuable information about the stability and reproducibility of the particular CMP process being observed.
