    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for determining if an alarm originating from a component within a communications network impacts service of said network. One embodiment includes scanning a first data structure for faulty network components which may potentially affect network service, determining network components that are supported by the faulty network component, calculating a percentage of the network components indicating a fault, and determining if the percentage of the network components is above a threshold. If the percentage is above the threshold the faulty network component is determined to be service impacting. Finally, communicating to a second data structure that the faulty network component impacts service of the communications network.

    摘要: The present invention provides systems, methods, and apparatus for use with a substrate carrier. The invention provides a door opener adapted to employ a vacuum source to collapse an inflatable seal of a door of the substrate carrier. By collapsing the inflatable seal, the door is released from the body of the substrate carrier so that substrates may be removed and/or inserted into the carrier. A second vacuum source may be applied to the door to hold it securely to the door opener. Numerous other aspects of the invention are disclosed.

    摘要: A break-away mounting system for a continuous-motion, high-speed position conveyor system is disclosed. A support cradle may be suspended from a conveyor belt such that the support cradle maintains a fixed position and orientation relative to at least one point on the conveyor belt without inducing appreciable stress on the conveyor belt, the support cradle, or the coupling between the conveyor belt and the support cradle. The mount may include a leading rotatable bearing attached to the support cradle which may releasably engage a first key attached to the conveyor belt, the rotatable bearing adapted to accommodate rotational forces applied to the support cradle by the conveyor belt. The mount may also include a slide bearing attached to the support cradle which may releasably engage a second key attached to the conveyor belt, the slide bearing adapted to accommodate longitudinal forces applied to the support cradle by the conveyor belt.

    摘要: In a first aspect, a substrate loading station is served by a conveyor which continuously transports substrate carriers. A substrate carrier handler that is part of the substrate loading station operates to exchange substrate carriers with the conveyor while the conveyor is in motion. A carrier exchange procedure may include moving an end effector of the substrate carrier handler at a velocity that substantially matches a velocity of the conveyor. A balancing mass is coupled directly or indirectly to a frame on which the substrate carrier handler is mounted and is adapted to accelerate in a direction opposite to the direction of end effector acceleration, as the end effector accelerates. Thus, inertial loads may be substantially balanced, and frame vibration reduced, despite potentially high rates of acceleration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: A movable portion of a substrate carrier handler is extended into a transport path along which a substrate carrier transport system transports a substrate carrier, respective kinematic coupling events are detected between corresponding interface elements of the movable portion and the substrate carrier, respective signals are generated in response thereto, and an alignment offset between the substrate carrier and the substrate carrier transport system is determined based on the signals. A movable portion matches an elevation, position, and/or a speed/velocity of a substrate carrier moving along the transport path. Sensors for detecting kinematic coupling and generating signals in response thereto are provided on the movable portion. An end effector includes a support with interface elements and sensors for detecting kinematic coupling and generating respective signals. A substrate carrier handler includes a movable portion, interface elements, sensors, and a controller for receiving signals and determining an alignment offset.
