    摘要: An information processing device includes: an information acquiring part configured to acquire plating process information including operational motion information including target paddle motion information indicating an agitating motion of a target paddle corresponding to a paddle to be processed, plating solution motion information indicating a motion of supplying a plating solution to a plating tank, and carrier machine motion information indicating a motion of carrying a substrate and operational-motion paddle vibration information indicating vibration characteristics of the target paddle when an operational motion is performed, the motions being operational motions performed by a substrate plating device; and an information generating part configured to generate agitating-motion paddle vibration information in response to the plating process information by inputting the plating process information acquired by the information acquiring part to a learning model which has learned a correlation between the plating process information and the agitating-motion paddle vibration information using machine learning.

    摘要: An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients are disclosed. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the “as collected” condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (e.g., mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The preparation sub-system may comprise a slurry recirculation flow loop configured with devices to stir, measure, and adjust a water to solids ratio of the slurry. The object of the claimed invention is a slurry stirring device (8030) comprising an elongated housing (8094) defining a vertical centerline and a stirring chamber, a slurry inlet (8032) configured to receive the slurry, a slurry recirculation inlet (8033a) configured for fluid coupling to a closed slurry recirculation flow loop, and a slurry recirculation outlet (8033b) configured for fluid coupling to the slurry recirculation flow loop; and a rotatable blade mechanism configured to maintain the slurry in an agitated mixed condition in the stirring chamber.
