  • Patent number: 12255055
    Abstract: A method for removing etchant byproduct from an etch reactor and discharging a substrate from an electrostatic chuck of the etch reactor is provided. One or more layers on a substrate electrostatically secured to an electrostatic chuck within a chamber of the etch reactor is etched using a first plasma, causing an etchant byproduct to be generated. A portion of the one or more layers are covered by a photoresist. After the etching is complete, a second plasma is provided into the chamber for a time period sufficient to trim the photoresist and remove a portion of the etchant byproduct. A second time period sufficient to electrostatically discharge the substrate using the second plasma is determined. Responsive to deactivating one or more chucking electrodes of the electrostatic chuck, the second plasma is provided into the chamber for the second time period and the substrate is removed from the chamber.

  • Patent number: 12248617
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for defending against adversarial attacks in federated learning. In the federated learning comprising an aggregator and parties, the aggregator receives weights sent from the respective parties. The aggregator computes values of a performance metric for weight arrays obtained by the respective parties, using a validation dataset. The aggregator ranks the values of the performance metric in a list. The aggregator recursively splits the list in half until one or more adversary updates of the weights are isolated. The aggregator excludes one or more parties that send the one or more adversary updates from participating in a current round of training in the federated learning.

  • Patent number: 12239324
    Abstract: A medical instrument (1000) includes a stent (100) and a constraining structure (300). The constraining structure (300) constrains, and thereby prevents tangling of, a trailing section of the stent (100), ensuring successful release of the stent (100). Specifically, the stent (100) has a first proximal end and an opposing first distal end. The first distal end is configured with an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The trailing section at the first distal end includes a number of protrusions (111). The constraining structure (300) includes a body (310) and a clamping mechanism (320). The clamping mechanism (320) is disposed at a distal end of the body (310), and the body (310) extends from the first proximal end to the first distal end. The clamping mechanism (320) limits relative movement and thus prevents tangling of the protrusions (111) by passing through all or some of the protrusions (111).
