Abstract: Process control methods and apparatus for controlling batch processes including batch heating processes. The present invention includes iterative learning control (ILC) techniques to provide improved run-to-run process control. One method provides a desired temperature profile over the length of a batch time period. This method gathers historical measured value data over the length of a first batch run which can be converted to deviation or error historical data, as well as a historical output history of outputs provided to control the process for the first run. The historical deviation and output histories from the first run can then be used to generate the output profile for a second batch run. Thus, the outputs from a first batch, such as the output to a local heater control, together with the deviation or error history from the first batch run, can be added to the output value provided during the previous batch to generate new output value to be used to control a second batch run.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a network element for determining cell-based values of a parameter of a selected active uplink transport channel multiplexed with other transport channels to a dedicated physical channel. It is proposed that a value for the parameter of the selected uplink transport channel is computed in predetermined periods of time based on the value of at least one available parameter associated to the dedicated physical channel. Further it is determined for the predetermined periods of time for each of the transport channels whether it is active in the respective period of time. Those periods of time for which it was determined that any other than the selected transport channel was active are excluded from supplying a relevant value for the parameter of the selected active uplink transport channel. The invention equally relates to a corresponding communications network and a corresponding communications system.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory system having an array of memory cells with at least one storage element each is operated with a plurality of storage level ranges per storage element. A flash electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is an example, wherein the storage elements are electrically floating gates. The memory is operated to minimize the effect of charge coupled between adjacent floating gates, by programming some cells a second time after adjacent cells have been programmed. The second programming step also compacts a distribution of charge levels within at least some of the programming states. This increases the separation between states and/or allows more states to be included within a given storage window. An implementation that is described is for a NAND type of flash EEPROM.
