  • Publication number: 20230158766
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring a high-pressure roller press in the course of comminuting, compacting, or briquetting material. The roller press has two rotationally driven press rollers, between which a rolling gap is formed with a gap width that can be modified during operation. During operation, operational data of the roller press is ascertained by one or more measurement value sensors and is stored on a computer. The method is characterized in that the operational data is stored as raw data on an edge computer, as an analysis computer, which is stationed locally in the region of the roller press and is connected to the measurement value sensors, and the raw data is evaluated on the analysis computer using an analysis algorithm so that characteristic data of the roller press is generated and stored on the analysis computer, wherein the characteristic data is transmitted from the analysis computer to at least one terminal via a wireless network and is displayed on the terminal.

    Abstract: A polishing apparatus and a polishing method capable of accurately measuring a film thickness of a workpiece, such as wafer, substrate, or panel, used in manufacturing of semiconductor devices during polishing of the workpiece are disclosed. The processing system is configured to determine a film thickness of the workpiece based on relative reflectance data calculated by a calculation formula expressed as: the relative reflectance data=MD1/[BD1·k], where MD1 represents first intensity measurement data indicating intensity of the reflected light from the workpiece measured by the first spectrometer, BD1 represents the first base intensity data, and k represents a rate of change in second intensity measurement data with respect to the second base intensity data. The second intensity measurement data is indicative of intensity of the light of the light source measured by the second spectrometer during polishing of the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20230158638
    Abstract: A method for regulating the flow of media that provides a valve having a first pole piece and a second pole piece that are separated by a working gap through which media may flow. The pole pieces direct a first magnetic field through the working gap. A coil generates a second magnetic field when electrical current is passed through the coil and that second magnetic field is capable of opposing the first magnetic field. The current in the coil is set at a first level that corresponds to a desired low rate of media through the working gap. The actual flow rate that results from the first duty cycle of current in the coil is compared to a desired flow rate and the current can be adjusted if the actual flow rate is different than the desired flow rate.
