Filed:

Jul 17, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/778679

Inventors:

Robert J. Foster - Brooklyn NY, US
Lin Zhou - LaGrangeville NY, US
Shahin Zangooie - Hopewell Junction NY, US
Roger M. Young - Warwick NY, US
Clemente Bottini - Marlboro NY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G01R 31/08
G01R 31/02
G01R 31/26

US Classification:

324525, 324758, 324765

Abstract:

A system and method for correcting alignment of a product on a tool and, more particularly, to a system and method for correcting alignment of a wafer on a chuck of a tool. The system is a tool comprising at least one contact near a circumference of the tool and a grounded contact proximate to the at least one contact. The method comprises measuring current on each branch of a circuit and calculating an angle of a wafer based on a difference in the current on each branch of the circuit.

Appl. No.:

17/892006

Inventors:

- Hoboken NJ, US
Lin Zhou - Weehawken NJ, US

International Classification:

B01D 53/70
B01D 53/18
B01D 53/78

Abstract:

Process and apparatus () are disclosed for capturing and converting an ozone-depleting alkyl halide fumigant from a fumigant/air mixed stream () by absorbing it into a metal hydroxide-alcohol buffer solution () in an absorber/scrubber () to produce a fumigant-free air stream (). The captured alkyl halide in aqueous alcohol solution can actively react with the metal hydroxide in alcohol solution to produce a value-added product, such as a precipitate metal halide, and another alcohol that further enhances absorption. The absorbing solution is well-mixed with make-up alcohol and alkali streams to maintain the concentration of the metal hydroxide in the desired buffer solution range. The solid precipitate metal halide () is separated from the liquid stream, and the metal hydroxide-containing mixed alcohol stream () is recycled to the absorber/scrubber ().

International Classification:

G06N 5/02
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A method is disclosed including presenting a concept to a user via one or more presentation devices and monitoring the user's response to the presentation of the concept by a sensing device. The sensing device may generate sensor data based on the monitored user's response. The method further includes determining based on the sensor data generated by the sensor that the user requires clarification of the presented concept. In response to determining that the user requires clarification of the presented concept, the method further includes identifying an analogy that is configured to clarify the presented concept and presenting the identified analogy to the user via one or more of the presentation devices.
