摘要： A method is described for displaying data, wherein the data consists of a number of samples Nr that is much larger than the number of samples Ns that can be displayed on a display. According to the invention sets of NcnullNr/Ns samples are formed and for each set Nc a single value xt is determined according to a specific algorithm by which important features as reflected by the samples, despite the reduction in samples, still can be displayed with a better SNR than with presently known methods.

摘要： A system, method and medium of controlling a semiconductor manufacturing tool using a feedback control mechanism. The feedback control mechanism includes features for receiving data points relating to an output of the tool. The data points include a current data point and at least one previous data point. The feedback control mechanism also includes features for determining whether the current data point is an erroneous outlier by comparing the current data point to a statistical representation of the at least one previous data point, and based on whether the at least one previous data point is an outlier. The feedback control mechanism further includes features for disregarding the current data point in calculating a feedback value of the feedback control mechanism if the current data point is determined as an erroneous outlier.

摘要： The system and method disclosed herein allow a user to retrieve data from various process control loops and organize that data in dynamic manner to allow for multiple types of data analysis. A user may associate individual process control loops into groups and analyze the data and impact of select process control loops in those groups. Since the associations of process control loops into groups can be done dynamically, the user is able to easily reconfigure groups (i.e. add or remove process control loops) and redo the analysis. Another feature is the storage of both the data retrieved and the results of the analysis so that comparisons can be performed and reports can be generated.

摘要： A parameter setting device includes faders 15a to 15c to which a plurality of parameters are respectively allotted. The plural parameter values are respectively set in accordance with the operation positions of faders 15a to 15c. When scene selection switches 24 to 26 are operated, the plural parameter values are gradually changed in accordance with the lapse of time towards the final values represented by scene data. During this change of the parameter values, faders 15a to 15c are driven by a motor and move in correspondence with the parameter values. When invalidation switches 12a to 12c, 21 are operated during this movement of faders 15a to 15c, the movement of faders 15a to 15c is controlled to be stopped, and the parameter values are instantaneously changed to the final values according to the scene data. When scene selection switches 24 to 26 are operated after the operation of invalidation switches 12a to 12c, 21, the movement of faders 15a to 15c is controlled to be prohibited, and the parameter values are instantaneously changed to the final values according to the scene data. When release switches 13a to 13c, 22 are operated after these, faders 15a to 15c move to positions corresponding to the parameter values.

摘要翻译： 参数设定装置包括分别分配有多个参数的推子15a〜15c。 根据推子15a〜15c的动作位置分别设定多个参数值。 当场景选择开关24至26被操作时，根据由场景数据表示的最终值的时间流逝逐渐改变多个参数值。 在该参数值的改变期间，推子15a至15c由电动机驱动并且与参数值对应地移动。 当衰减开关12a〜12c，21在推子15a〜15c的运动中动作时，推子15a〜15c的移动被控制停止，根据场景数据瞬时地将参数值变更为最终值。 在无效开关12a〜12c，21的动作之后动作场景选择开关24〜26，控制推子15a〜15c的移动被禁止，根据场景数据将参数值瞬间变更为最终值 。 当在这些之后操作释放开关13a至13c，22时，推子15a至15c移动到与参数值对应的位置。

摘要： An apparatus and method for measuring a characteristic of a machine. A variable reluctance sensor (VRS) is coupled to the machine. A first switching device and capacitor, coupled in parallel with the VRS, boosts a variable amplitude of a basic output signal generated by the VRS to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. A control input of the first switching device receives signals, and a modified output signal is generated by the first switching device, having a variable amplitude that is substantially higher than the variable amplitude of the VRS. The modified output signal has an increased signal-to-noise ratio such that machine speed can be more accurately measured during a start-up phase.

摘要： Methods, apparatus and computer program products combine recursive least squares system identification operations and generalized predictive control operations to yield recursive generalized predictive control (RGPC) operations that can simultaneously achieve robust performance and robust stability characteristics. These RGPC operations can be applied in real-time without prior system (plant) information for control design because the operations for system identification are performed continuously. Moreover, the RGPC operations can be applied in the presence of changing operating environments because the control design is updated adaptively.

摘要： Real-time control of a dynamical system is provided by determining control variables that get as close as possible to producing a desired response. Additional consideration of physical limitations leads to a convex Quadratic Program with inequality constraints that needs to be solved in real-time. A new active set algorithm is described to solve the convex Quadratic Program efficiently that meets real-time requirements. Based on the key observation that the physical limitations of the system translate to optimal active sets that remain relatively unchanged over time (even though the actual optimal controls may be varying), starting guesses for the active set obtained from the final iterate in the previous time period greatly reduces the number of iterations and hence allows the Quadratic Programs to be solved to convergence in real-time.
