| 261 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A PRODUCT PRODUCTION PROCESS | PCT/IB2006/050873 | 2006-03-21 | WO2006100646A3 | 2006-09-28 | YOUNG, Timothy M. |
A method for controlling a production process involving selection of process variables affecting product characteristics and using genetic algorithms to modify a set of seed neural networks based upon the process variables to an create an optimal neural network model. A commercial statistical software package may be used to select the process variables. Real-time process control data are fed into the optimal neural network model and used to calculate a projected product characteristic. A production control operator uses the list of process variables and knowledge of associated process control settings to control the production process. |

| 262 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE IN A CHUCK SYSTEM | PCT/US2006/006810 | 2006-02-27 | WO2006096361A2 | 2006-09-14 | ELSDOERFER, Norbert, W.; MIKULINA, Olga, V.; MOURCHID, Abdellah |
An apparatus and method of controlling the temperature of a thermal chuck system are disclosed. The system includes a temperature controller which controls a temperature transition in a thermal chuck. The temperature controller comprises inputs that receive air and fluid from an air source and water source, respectively, and an output for alternately transferring the air and fluid in proportions to the thermal chuck. A time proportional controller generates the proportions by computing a proportion band in each of a plurality of control regions. The proportion bands are used by the temperature controller to manage the flow of air and fluid to the chuck such that a minimum undershoot of the temperature transition is realized. |

| 263 | METHOD AND APPARATUS DETERMINING POSITION OF A MOVABLE BARRIER | PCT/US0003971 | 2000-02-16 | WO0049716A9 | 2001-11-15 | SMITH ALAN DANE; VALENTE CHRISTOPHER M; RATHGEBER MARTIN; SIEGLER MARK |
| A movable barrier operator includes an absolute position detector (124) which provides a unique value for each position of the barrier (12) along its path of travel. The absolute position detector (142) employs multiple binary serial streams and one multiple clock stream. After the first five cycles of the clock stream, the binary streams can be decoded by a processor to produce an absolute position. Every clock edge produces a new absolute position along the path of travel. | ||||||
| 264 | AUTOMATED SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSING SYSTEM | PCT/US1999/014414 | 1999-06-25 | WO00002675A1 | 2000-01-20 | |
| An automated semiconductor processing system has an indexer bay (75) perpendicularly aligned with a process bay (94) within a clean air enclosure (54). An indexer (72) in the indexer bay provides stocking or storage for work in progress semiconductor wafers. Process chambers (68, 70) are located in the process bay. A process robot (66) moves between the indexer bay and process bay to carry semiconductor wafers to and from the process chambers. The process robot has a robot arm (255) vertically moveable along a lift rail (254). Semiconductor wafers are carried offset from the robot arm, to better avoid contamination. The automated system is compact and requires less clean room floor space. | ||||||

| A system is herein provided comprising mechanisms (114, 100, 110, 106, 107, 108, 200, 300) and methods of defining, creating, operating, and testing virtual robots ("BOT") (404). A virtual robot (404) as provided herein encompasses categories (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) and topics (710, 720, 730, 740, 750, 402, 820, 830, 840, 630) of natural conversation that can be encoded in a natural "script language" (108, 118, 120). During the course of operation, these categories (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) are activated according to the conversation (900 - 3002) taking place with a user. Different categories (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) are focused at different times according to changes in the conversation (900 - 3002). The system provides both automatic and explicit mechanisms (114, 100, 110, 106, 107, 108, 200, 300) for focusing categories (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) and topics (710, 720, 730, 740, 750, 402, 820, 830, 840, 630) during the course of conversation (900 - 3002). Additionally, if more than one category (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) seems appropriate to answer a particular user statement, the system provides mechanisms (114, 100, 110, 106, 107, 108, 200, 300) for selecting the most appropriate response (900 - 3002). Similarly, the system provides mechanisms (114, 100, 110, 106, 107, 108, 200, 300) for verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of the virtual robot's response (900 - 3002) by encoding test examples into the virtual robot script (108, 118, 120). | ||||||

Computer program (software) products are disclosed for the biological conversion of CO into desired end products such as ethanol. The control methodologies used for these processes can advantageously result in a reduced time required for a batch operation or other initial operating period, prior to achieving a continuous operation, which may be demarcated either by the addition of fresh culture medium at a defined flow rate or by another process initiation target. The control methodologies may alternatively, or in combination, improve a process performance parameter, such as productivity of the desired end product or bacterial growth rate, during this batch operation or other initial operating period. |

| 279 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION USING SINGLE-PATHWAY BASED ACTUATORS | EP05747729.1 | 2005-05-06 | EP1748943A4 | 2009-07-01 | MENDENHALL, Jesse |
| The invention provides novel mechanisms and methods for effecting rotational and translational motion in three dimensions of objects carried by, or coupled to, actuators that move along a pathway. Vehicles or other conveyances (collectively, 'vehicles') that utilize mechanisms and methods can increase the performance of and decrease the cost of transportation, shipping, manufacturing, materials handling and other systems. In one aspect, the illustrated embodiment provides such a vehicle or other conveyance having two (or more) actuators adapted for movement along a pathway. The actuators are propelled or otherwise capable of motion, relative to each other so that the distance between can be increased or decreased. When desired, that distance can also be maintained the same, e.g., regardless of whether the actuators are moving. A pallet, carriage or other moveable part (collectively, pallet) is moveably coupled to the actuators so that at least selected motions by the actuators relative to one another on the pathway effect rotational and/or translational motion of the pallet in three dimensions relative to the pathway, including, for example, movement transverse to the pathway and out of a plane of the pathway. | ||||||

A method and device for monitoring parameters in a process reduces power consumption and bandwidth requirements in the transmission of the monitored parameter to for example, a monitoring application. In particular, new monitoring parameter values are only transmitted if the difference between a measured or calculated parameter value and the most recently transmitted value exceeds a limit, since the last communication of the parameter or if the time since the last communication of the parameter exceeds a preset refresh period. The determination as to whether to transmit the parameter can be applied to engineering unit values or raw values. |
