In statistics, the method of support is a technique that is used to make inferences from datasets. According to A. W. F. Edwards, the method of support aims to make inferences about unknown parameters in terms of the relative support, or log likelihood, induced by a set of data for a particular parameter value. The technique may be used whether or not prior information is available.

Method of supporting a substrate in a gas cushion susceptor system

An apparatus and method to position a wafer onto a wafer holder and to maintain a uniform wafer temperature is disclosed. The wafer holder or susceptor comprises a recess or pocket whose surface includes a grid containing a plurality of grid grooves that separate protrusions. A plurality of gas passages is provided in the susceptor to enable an upward flow of gas toward the bottom surface of the substrate. During drop-off of the substrate, a cushion gas flow is provided to substantially slow the rate of descent of the substrate onto the susceptor and to gradually heat the substrate before it makes contact with the susceptor. Optionally, a trickle gas flow may be provided through the aforementioned passages during processing of the substrate to prevent deposition of reactant gases onto the bottom surface of the substrate. A liftoff gas flow may then be provided through the passages to help lift the substrate off of the susceptor after processing is completed and thus aid in removing the substrate from the process chamber. These features help to achieve temperature uniformity and thus quality of deposited films onto the substrate.

Routing in a data communication network

“A method of supporting mobility in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based data network. The method comprises the steps of generating a first stateful IP autoconfiguration message at a mobile node, whereby the message includes an address capable of use for routing maintenance. The mobile node transmits the generated message to a first access node, which incorporates its address and forwards the message to a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) Server. The DHCP Server and access node analyse the message to determine a route to deliver data to and / or from the mobile node. One or more route update message are triggered from said access node and said DHCP server to a number of network elements between said access node and said DHCP server in the IP based data network to support mobility in an IP domain with minimum bandwidth use and minimum tunnelling required.”
