US Patent:

44576617, Jul 3, 1984

Filed:

Dec 7, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/328408

Inventors:

Alan G. Flint - Los Gatos CA
William G. Jacobs - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

B65G 6500

US Classification:

414404

Abstract:

Apparatus for transferring wafers between storage magazines and processing trays. The trays are mounted on a generally cylindrical carousel which is rotated about its axis to bring successive ones of the trays into position for loading wafers on to the trays and unloading wafers from the trays. An elevator assembly is mounted within the carousel and is moveable in an axial direction for alignment with different wafer holding positions which are spaced along the trays. The storage magazines are mounted on the elevator assembly, and wafer transfer blades transfer the wafers between the magazines and radially moveable chucks which carry the wafers to and from the wafer holding positions in the trays.

William G. Jacobs - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Seagate Technology, Inc. - Scotts Valley CA

International Classification:

B07C 508

US Classification:

209552

Abstract:

An automatic disc gauging and sorting apparatus for gauging the thickness of the discs and sorting the discs into a series of predetermined ranges of varying thickness is provided. The apparatus includes a revolving disc sorting unit including a plurality of spaced-apart disc sorting containers arranged concentrically and in one plane. Each of the containers is designated to receive discs of a predetermined thickness range. A cassette transport assembly for transporting cassettes containing discs to be gauged and sorted to a disc pick-up position adjacent the sorting unit and for transporting empty cassettes away from the disc pick-up position is included, as well as a disc gauging unit associated with the sorting unit adjacent the disc pick-up position for gauging the thickness of the discs to be sorted. Finally, a disc shuttle arm unit associated with the sorting unit adjacent the disc pick-up position for removing a disc from a cassette in the disc pick-up position, inserting the disc into the disc gauging unit, removing the disc from the disc gauging unit and placing the disc in the proper container for its designated thickness is provided. A host computer coupled to the disc sorting unit controls the operations of the disc sorting unit, the cassette transport assembly, the disc gauging unit and the shuttle arm unit.

International Classification:

G06F 13364

US Classification:

395281

Abstract:

A compressed I/O bus system for a general-purpose computer multiplexes 32 bit data and addresses on 32 of 42 dedicated parallel signal paths, and optimizes the bus structure by mapping bus requests made by peripheral devices to "high" memory portions of system RAM not dedicated to other purposes. In one aspect a bus controller is programmable to select translation routines stored in system RAM, allowing various models and types of CPUs to be supported. In this aspect, supported CPUs are interchangeable in the system. In another aspect a default interface attaches to the compressed I/O bus of the invention, and translates bus states between the optimized compressed bus and one of an ISA bus or an EISA bus.

Appl. No.:

14/826082

Inventors:

- Menlo Park CA, US
William Jacobs - Mountain View CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/36

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for instrumenting a “semantic stack trace” (SST), where semantic information and dependency relationships between a plurality of code elements (“elements”) are captured during runtime execution of various front-end declarative languages, and are subsequently extracted for display in a SST-enabled interactive user interface with traversing capability. Embodiments of the present invention enable a framework for traversing and debugging complex code, providing an unprecedented lens into understanding code behavior in mixed imperative and declarative construction languages.
