  • Patent number: 12230524
    Abstract: A control system for a wafer transport vehicle is provided. The control system includes a control apparatus, a database, an onboard interface of the wafer transport vehicle and an operation control center. The control apparatus is arranged in a container of the wafer transport vehicle and configured to detect a environmental parameters in a container of the wafer transport vehicle and regulate the internal environment of a container of the wafer transport vehicle. The database is in communication with the control apparatus and configured store the environmental parameters detected by the control apparatus. The onboard interface is in communication with the control apparatus and configured to remotely control the control apparatus. The operation control center is in communication with the control apparatus and the onboard interface of the wafer transport vehicle and configured to receive the environmental parameters detected by the control apparatus.

  • Patent number: 12154809
    Abstract: An overhead transport vehicle is described for association with an Automated Material Handling System (AMHS). The overhead transport vehicle provides features to the AMHS by which the AMHS is able to reduce a number of manual urgent lot rescues by the fab operator when a logistic algorithm controlling traffic in the AMHS is unable to transport the front opening unified pods (FOUP) from one tool to the subsequent tool in the sequence of the process steps within the q-time due to unexpected problems. An indicator on the overhead transport vehicle which helps the fab operator with spotting a lot in trouble is described. A backup power source on the overhead transport vehicle used in case of a main power failure is also described.

  • Patent number: 11779070
    Abstract: A garment made includes at least a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waist portion further includes a pocket on the front of the garment, where the pocket is defined by at least the waist portion and a backing panel. The backing panel may be constructed from a resilient material and is reconfigurable between an empty configuration and an expanded configuration. When in the empty configuration, the backing panel may include a plurality of folded panels and may be aligned with the waist portion. When in the expanded configuration, the backing panel may be stretched to extend beyond the waist portion. The backing panel is reconfigured from the empty configuration and the expanded configuration when an object is disposed within the pocket. The pocket is sized and shaped to receive small personal items, such as smartphones, keys, money, credit cards, identification, etc.

  • Publication number: 20100098812
    Abstract: The present invention is a product and method for making an instant iced coffee beverage but may be used to create any type of flavored beverage product. The method of producing an instant iced coffee beverage product comprising of providing a mixture of crushed ice, uncrushed ice, and liquid coffee in a container; a freezing step to freeze the mixture allowing the mixture to freeze into solid phase before the crushed ice substantially melts into the coffee; a sealing step to seal an opening of the container and a storing step to store the container in the freezer at or below freezing point. The product is then thawed in a microwave within a selected time frame which results in a freshly made instant iced coffee beverage.
