The apparatus and methods can also be used for rapid cooling of a source vessel for maintenance.

Liquid level sensor for a chemical source vessel

A chemical vessel used for holding a liquid chemical precursor is disclosed comprising a liquid level sensor tube. The liquid level sensor tube is configured to operate in an environment where the liquid chemical precursor is heated to a point of boiling or vaporization. The liquid level sensor tube comprises housing with a slot built in to prevent any false readings of sensors disposed within the liquid level sensor tube.

Method for reforming amorphous carbon polymer film

A method for reforming an amorphous carbon film as part of a deposition process thereof, includes process of: (i) depositing an amorphous carbon film on a substrate in a reaction space until a thickness of the amorphous carbon film reaches a predetermined thickness, and then stopping the deposition process; and (ii) exposing the amorphous carbon film to an Ar and/or He plasma in an atmosphere substantially devoid of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

Temperature-controlled chemical delivery system and reactor system including same

A temperature control system for a chemical delivery system (e.g., comprised in a reactor system) may comprise a temperature control shell coupled to and/or enclosing at least a portion of at least one component of the chemical delivery system. A chemical delivery system may comprise a filter, an accumulator, and/or a chemical application line fluidly coupled to one another in any suitable arrangement and/or configuration. A temperature control system for such a chemical delivery system may comprise a filter temperature control shell coupled to and/or enclosing at least a portion of the filter, an accumulator temperature control shell coupled to and/or enclosing at least a portion of the accumulator, and/or an application line temperature control shell coupled to and/or enclosing at least a portion of the chemical application line.

Locating external interference in a wireless network

A method for locating a source of interference external to a wireless telecommunications network includes establishing a grid of pixels that represents an area associated with a plurality of cellular antennas, assigning an elevation value to each pixel in the grid, determining a vertical gain for each of the plurality of cellular antennas, and determining respective probability values for pixels in the grid using the elevation values and the vertical gain, each of the respective probability values representing a probability that the source of interference external to the wireless telecommunications network is located at an associated pixel.

USER MEDIA PLATFORM SERVER SYSTEM

In some embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a digital media system that uses a decentralized communication system to transfer digital data. In some embodiments, the digital data includes digital property, currency, and instructions for executing financial transactions. In some embodiments, the digital media system controls the storage and flow of digital data through specified nodes located in specified jurisdictions. In some embodiments, by controlling the location of stored digital data and the node route through which digital data flows, the digital media system enables an improved social media network that can be used in the battle to end world poverty.

Metadata-driven computing system

Unified management, automation and interoperability of business and device processes utilizing components of a metadata-driven computing system on any device and/or across difference devices. In an embodiment, a I/O processor on a device receives an input dataset, wherein the input dataset may be a messages dataset received from a message broker. The I/O processor accesses one or more instructions datasets nested within a state dataset to process each row in the input dataset. Processing of the input dataset by the I/O processor updates the state of the state dataset and may output one or more datasets, wherein an output dataset may be a messages dataset sent to a message broker to send to a computing system for processing. A messages dataset may comprise one or more messages, wherein a message may comprise one or more events, queries, or query results for processing by a computing system.

Secure mobile initiated authentications to web-services

Provided is a process for mobile-initiated authentications to web services. Credential values of the user are established within a trusted execution environment of the mobile device and representations are transmitted to a server. The user of the mobile device may authenticate with the mobile device to the server, which may convey access to a web-based service from a relying device. The server may pass credentials corresponding to the web-service received from the mobile device and verified to permit user access to the web-service to the relying device. The relying device presents credentials to the web-service to login, authenticate, or otherwise obtain user-level permission for the user on the relying device. The user of the mobile device may authenticate with the mobile device to the server, and may initiate the authentication process from the mobile device, without inputting credentials corresponding to the web-service on the relying device.

Selected place on map or from category specific list of nearby places associated payment interface for making payment

Various embodiments of a system, methods, server, client, and graphical user interface to displaying on map interface, place(s) associated with particular location of place wherein places including current, nearest, nearby, category specific, searched and any combination thereof for enabling user to select or identify specific place or place of business on map and view associated standardized and integrated payment user interface with/in said selected or identified place or place icon or place user interface which enable user to make entered or inputted or selected or displayed or pre-set or default or pushed particular amount of payment from user's account to said selected or identified place associated automatically identified merchant's account, without the user having to enter the account information related to merchant.

Evaluating alignment of inputs and outputs for virtual environments

Techniques and architectures for establishing and/or evaluating a communication session that enables users from the same physical environment, different physical environments, or a combination to interact in a virtual coordinate system and perceive each other as being present are described herein. In some examples, representations of users may be aligned within a coordinate system while maintaining spatial alignment of the user in a physical environment and/or spatial alignment of the representations in another coordinate system. In some examples, a representation of a user may be output to another user in a manner that is aligned to input for the user. In some examples, a human model may be created for a user and used to provide representations of users that map to a human. In some examples, a representation of a user may be evaluated to determine if the representation is properly aligned to the user and/or a coordinate system.
