    摘要: Systems and methods for adaptive plasma ignition are disclosed. A method includes assessing each of N voltage waveforms, wherein the assessing includes: selecting, from among the N voltage waveforms, a particular voltage waveform to apply to a plasma processing chamber, applying, repeatedly, the particular voltage waveform to the plasma processing chamber, wherein each application of the particular voltage waveform results in plasma ignition, and obtaining, each time a plasma is ignited in the plasma chamber, ignition-parameter values of each voltage waveform. An ignition profile may be created and stored in an ignition datastore for the particular voltage waveform, wherein the ignition profile is based upon the ignition-parameter values.

    摘要: A generator produces output such as delivered power, voltage, current, forward power etc. that follows a prescribed pattern of output versus time where the pattern repeats with a repetition period by controlling sections of the pattern based on measurements taken one or more repetition periods in the past. A variable impedance match network may control the impedance presented to a radio frequency generator while the generator produces the output that follows the prescribed pattern of output versus time where the pattern repeats with a repetition period by controlling variable impedance elements in the match during sections of the pattern based on measurements taken one or more repetition periods in the past.

    摘要: In a flow control valve which comprises a valve seat comprising an inner cylindrical part with a contact surface formed in its upper end part and an outer cylindrical part higher than the inner cylindrical member and a valve body that carries out an opening and closing action in a direction perpendicular to the contact surface of the valve seat, an inner cylindrical member and an outer cylindrical member, which are separate members, are airtightly fitted with each other to constitute the inner cylindrical part and the outer cylindrical part. As a result, by processing the contact surface of the inner cylindrical part to be smooth, the flow control valve can control flow rate of gas in a small flow rate range more accurately than before.

    摘要: A lock system and related methods are disclosed. The lock mechanism has a lock plate configured to be positioned adjacent the distal side of a firearm floor plate. The lock plate has a base plate and a disengagement mechanism affixed to a proximal side of the base plate. The disengagement mechanism has a protrusion configured to extend into the passage of the floor plate when the floor plate and the lock plate abut one another. The protrusion has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is shaped to extend into the passage of the floor plate. The second portion is shaped to extend through the passage of the floor plate and protrude from the proximal side of the floor plate.

    摘要: Disclosed are power supply systems and methods of operating the same. An exemplary power supply system includes a primary rectifier configured to rectify an AC voltage to produce a bus voltage on a DC bus and a voltage monitor configured to monitor the AC voltage. A capacitor is switchably coupled to the DC bus via a switch and a charger is configured to charge the capacitor with power from the DC bus. A switch controller is configured to close, in response to the voltage monitor indicating a sag in at least one phase of the AC voltage, the switch to enable the capacitor to discharge to the DC bus.

    摘要: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for a bipod having pivot and cant functionality built into a unified cant/pivot assembly, housing, and pivot block. Rotation of a locking knob under the housing can gradually increase or decrease friction of the cant and pivoting degrees of freedom. The legs can be stowed approximately 90° rotation from a deployed position, and locking and releasing of this rotation is made possible via depression of a button that also acts as a locking detent that directly interacts with and locks or releases the legs for rotation. In the stowed position, the button can be backdriven and thus the legs can be deployed without depressing the button. A pivot block can also be raised and rotated 180° to lock in a given pivot setting.

    摘要: A method for modifying a file having a file size exceeding a size of available main memory, the file arranged in one or more existing data blocks, by writing an array of new data to the file at a file offset to replace a portion of the existing data of the file. The method including determining one or more target data blocks of the file which contain data to be replaced, considering a size of the array of new data, the block size of the file and the file offset within the file, retrieving at least one of the target data blocks from the file, creating at least one new data block comprised of at least one of the one or more write byte arrays, and writing the new data block to the file at the location of the target data blocks.

    摘要: A virtual gateway software application may comprise a graphical user interface, and be configured to receive immediate command instructions for local connected devices from each of: a user, via the graphical user interface and a remote server on the Internet; via a wireless LAN or a short-range communication protocol. The application may relay the immediate command instructions to one or more of the connected devices via the wireless LAN or the short-range communication protocol while the device on which the application resides is within the particular building environment. It may store delayed command instructions for the local connected devices from each of: the user, via the graphical user interface; and the remote server on the Internet; and relay one or more of the delayed command instructions from the mobile communication device to one or more of the connected devices via the wireless LAN or the short-range protocol.
