US Patent:

7941396, May 10, 2011

Filed:

Apr 26, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/832001

Inventors:

Michael A. Power - Irvine CA, US
Richard Kramer - Sharon MA, US

Assignee:

Symbion Systems, Inc. - Irvine CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707601, 707602

Abstract:

A process control method that automatically and comprehensively manages the creation, storage and use of electronic records during the operation of a controlled process and for governing and documenting the users that operate the computer systems that are involved in the creation, storage and use of the electronic records. The method controls a process, such as a chemical process, by receiving measurement information relating to the process, applying rules to the received measurement information to determine a desired response, and sending control information to at least one device associated with the process, so as to modify the process. The method maintains the rules, measurements and control activity in transaction logs or audit trails related thereto in a secure database. By providing convenient, centralized control of the process within a secure database, the method enhances compliance with the FDA regulations that permit electronic records to be regarded as the equivalent to paper records under 21 CFR Part 11.

US Patent:

45012857, Feb 26, 1985

Filed:

Apr 5, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/365569

Inventors:

Charles Irwin - Santa Ana CA
Janet Devine - Downingtown PA
Richard Kramer - Wilmington DE

Assignee:

Sonobond Ultrasonics, Inc. - PA

International Classification:

B08B 312

US Classification:

134 58R

Abstract:

Ultrasonic transducer apparatus for cleaning applications and method for cleaning wafers of semiconductor material in which the method includes positioning the wafer proximate to but closely spaced away from a cleansing face of the ultrasonic transducer, supplying space between the cleansing face and the wafer with a cleansing fluid through an orifice in the cleansing surface and ultrasonically vibrating the cleansing face transversely to the wafer by applying an electrical signal to piezoelectric material symmetrically disposed about the orifice in the cleansing face via which the cleansing fluid is supplied, with the ultrasonic transducer including piezoelectric material symmetrically disposed with respect to the orifice in the cleansing face through which the cleansing fluid is supplied. The piezoelectric material is preferably in the form of a plurality of discreet piezoelectric elements which are provided with an input signal via a common input terminal where all of the plurality of piezoelectric elements are mechanically coupled to the cleansing face so that the piezoelectric elements, the mechanical coupling structure and a cleansing face ultrasonically vibrate as a single integral structure.
