International Classification:

A46B 13/00

US Classification:

15 77, 15 883, 15102

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing uniform pressure, friction and/or contact between a substrate and a cylindrical roller in a brush-type cleaning system is described. The apparatus includes an alignment member adapted to allow pivotal movement of the cylindrical roller based on the topography of a substrate and/or the outer surface of the cylindrical roller. The method includes positioning a substrate between two cylindrical rollers, moving each of the two cylindrical rollers to a position where at least a portion of an outer surface of each of the cylindrical rollers are in contact with the major surfaces of the substrate, and rotating one or both of the substrate and the two cylindrical rollers relative to each other while allowing a longitudinal axis of one or both of the two cylindrical rollers to pivot relative to a plane defined by one of the major surfaces of the substrate.

International Classification:

G06F 15/80
G06F 9/30
G06N 3/08

Abstract:

A computing system is described herein that expedites deep neural network (DNN) operations or other processing operations using a hardware accelerator. The hardware accelerator, in turn, includes a tensor-processing engine that works in conjunction with a scalar-processing unit (SPU). The tensor-processing engine handles various kinds of tensor-based operations required by the DNN, such as multiplying vectors by matrices, combining vectors with other vectors, transforming individual vectors, etc. The SPU performs scalar-based operations, such as forming the reciprocal of a scalar, generating the square root of a scalar, etc. According to one illustrative implementation, the computing system uses the same vector-based programmatic interface to interact with both the tensor-processing engine and the SPU.

International Classification:

H01L 21/67
H01J 37/32
H01L 21/311

Abstract:

A substrate processing system for selectively etching a substrate includes a first chamber and a second chamber. A first gas delivery system supplies an inert gas species to the first chamber. A plasma generating system generates plasma including ions and metastable species in the first chamber. A gas distribution device removes the ions from the plasma, blocks ultraviolet (UV) light generated by the plasma and delivers the metastable species to the second chamber. A substrate support is arranged below the gas distribution device to support the substrate. A second gas delivery system delivers a reactive gas species to one of the gas distribution device or a volume located below the gas distribution device. The metastable species transfer energy to the reactive gas species to selectively etch one exposed material of the substrate more than at least one other exposed material of the substrate.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06Q 50/00

Abstract:

An advertiser specifies an advertising campaign including one or more targeting criteria for presentation to users of an online system, which retrieves information describing previously completed advertisement auctions for presenting advertisement to users of the online system satisfying one or more of the targeting criteria. Based on the retrieved information, the online system associates various bid amounts with the advertising campaign and determines the advertising campaign's estimated performance for various bid amounts. For each bid amount, the online system determines a number of previously completed advertisement auctions that would have selected an advertisement from the advertising campaign, an amount that would have been charged to the advertiser if an advertisement campaign was selected, and a number of distinct users that would have been presented with an advertisement from the advertising campaign.
