Patent number: 12250115Abstract: A method and apparatus for defining, configuring, operating, monitoring, and modifying microslices in an enterprise network is described. Microslices provide an end-to-end logical network through multiple networks, which allows efficient arrangement of data flows in the enterprise network with a defined Quality of Service (QoS). Various embodiments of a system for creating and implementing microslice instances in a wireless communications network are disclosed. A microslice instance can connect a UE in the enterprise network with an external server. In some embodiments, the enterprise network administrator can define Service Level Objectives (SLOs), device groups, service types, and user application groups, and associate them with one or more microslices. An orchestrator can configure the microslice with an appropriate amount of network resources to be allocated to the microslice, and then set-up, operate, monitor, and modify the microslice instance to adapt to current network conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Celona, Inc.Inventors: Mehmet Yavuz, Srinivasan Balasubramanian, Rajeev Shah, Vinay Anneboina, Andrew Von Nagy, Keshav Sai Srinivas Nanduri

Patent number: 10115617Abstract: A system for processing substrates in plasma chambers, such that all substrates transport and loading/unloading operations are performed in atmospheric environment, but processing is performed in vacuum environment. The substrates are transported throughout the system on carriers. The system's chambers are arranged linearly, such that carriers move from one chamber directly to the next. A conveyor, placed above or below the system's chambers, returns the carriers to the system's entry area after processing is completed. Loading and unloading of substrates may be performed at one side of the system, or loading can be done at the entry side and unloading at the exit side.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: INTEVAC, INC.Inventors: Terry Bluck, Vinay Shah, Alexandru Riposan

Patent number: 10106883Abstract: A sputtering system having a processing chamber with an inlet port and an outlet port, and a sputtering target positioned on a wall of the processing chamber. A movable magnet arrangement is positioned behind the sputtering target and reciprocally slides behind the target. A conveyor continuously transports substrates at a constant speed past the sputtering target, such that at any given time, several substrates face the target between the leading edge and the trailing edge. In certain embodiments, the movable magnet arrangement slides at a speed that is at least several times faster than the constant speed of the conveyor. A rotating zone is defined behind the leading edge and trailing edge of the target, wherein the magnet arrangement decelerates when it enters the rotating zone and accelerates as it reverses direction of sliding within the rotating zone. In certain embodiments, magnet power and/or speed varies as function of direction of magnet travel.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: INTEVAC, INC.Inventors: Vinay Shah, Alexandru Riposan, Terry Bluck, Vladimir Kudriavtsev
