Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media to orchestrate process-performing resources and process protocols particularized to individual resources and loads are provided. Data changes in the data streams may be detected and identified. Data items from the data streams may be aggregated. Protocols that include parameter constraints according to specifications of process performance and/or operation performance may be identified. Operation-performing resources may be modeled with metrics being a function of protocols and consolidated data portions. A composite may be created that specifies a configuration a subsystem. The composite may be transmitted, and allocation of operation-performing resources to perform the defined process in accordance with the selected protocols may be controlled.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes depositing a chalcogenide precursor layer onto a substrate, and annealing the precursor layer in the presence of a gaseous phase comprising volatile species, the partial pressure of each volatile species being approximately constant over substantially all of the surface of the precursor layer, the partial pressure of each species being between approximately 0.1 mTorr and 760 Torr, where the presence of the gaseous phase reduces decomposition of volatile species from the precursor layer during annealing.

Abstract: A manual tool (20) comprises a rigid shaft (22) having a straight portion (24) and an arcuate portion (26) joined at about a right angle. Wrenches (28, 30) are secured to the ends of the shaft (22). The tool (20) is particularly adapted for engaging the valve stem retainer nut on the inside wheel of dual wheels without removal of the outside wheel.
