Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system (10) for distributing a fluidic mass (18). The system (10) includes, a receptacle (14), receptive of the fluidic mass (18) to be distributed, an opening (50), fluidically connected to the receptacle (14), a surface (62) in operable communication with the opening (50) and receptive of a distribution of the fluidic mass (18) from the receptacle (14) such that a rate of the distribution of the fluidic mass (18) is determined by a speed of the surface (62) relative to the opening (50), and a substratum (102). The substratum (102) is positioned below the surface (62) and movable relative to the surface (62), and movement of the substratum (102) relative to the surface (62) controls a thickness (106) of a base layer (110) of the fluidic mass (18) formed on the substratum (102).

Abstract: A chamber monitoring system may include a parallel architecture in which a single sensor control system is coupled to a number of different processing chamber control board sensor lines. In an illustrative embodiment, a single rotation sensor such as a tachometer may reside in a central control unit remote from the processing chambers such that rotation data may be processed by a single system and thereafter routed according to a variety of different network communication protocols to the main system controller, a factory interface, or both. In this and other embodiments, pull-up networks in the central control unit and the chamber control boards are matched so as to reduce electrical signal anomalies such as crowbar effects. The central control unit may be programmed via a main system controller to operate according to user defined parameters, which in turn may enable the system to differentiate between certain operating states.
