    Chuck and Judith Jones, Oral History Moment

    No full text
    This is an audio recording of an Oral History Moment with Chuck and Judith Jones. An Oral History Moment is a small segment of clips from an oral history interview presented by a narrator. The interview was conducted February 23, 2016. The interviewer is Madsion Garcia. The script author is Abigail Johnson, and the narrator is Allan Folsom. In this interview, Chuck and Judith Jones discuss their respective careers in the medical field and their service in the Navy during the Cold War. Judith Jones was born in Waco, Texas on November 18, 1945. Judith Jones attended Shannon West Texas Memorial Hospital School of Nursing and became a Registered Nurse. She worked in the Houston Medical Center at the Methodist Hospital on the psychiatric floor. Throughout her career as a nurse, Judith worked at Baptist Memorial and M.D. Anderson in Houston, and, after returning to school and graduating from Texas Christian University in 1971, taught at Murray State College and the University of Texas Fort Worth. Chuck Jones was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on June 14, 1948. Chuck attended college at Dallas Baptist University and then Baylor University. He attended graduate school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Following his graduation, he was hired for a traineeship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Chuck and Judith met in 1972 while Judith was working at the University of Texas Fort Worth School of Nursing and Chuck was completing his residency. On August 23, 1973 the two were married in Denton, Texas. After Chuck completed his residency, they moved to Alabama for two years so Judith could work towards her Doctorate in nursing. In 1980 both Chuck and Judith were commissioned in the Navy. Chuck worked for the first eight years with the 4th Marine Air Wing as an aviation medical officer, treating pilots in the F4 and heavy helicopter squadron. Judith assisted with active trainings during the summer and checked medical records to clear members of the Navy for exercises. During their service, the Jones’s visited the Mojave Desert, Camp Pendleton, and Cherry Point. Chuck participated in missions in the Philippines and was sworn into active duty during Desert Storm, where he filled in for surgeons who had been deployed overseas. Chuck left the Navy reserves in 1990 in order to care for their children. Judith conducted training programs in Charleston, South Carolina and later worked in fleet hospitals. Judith retired from the military in 2004 after 23 years of service. The couple joined the Marine Corps League following their service.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1111/thumbnail.jp

    Shape estimation of a compliant wafer chuck in lithography systems

    No full text
    The electronics industry aims at following Moore's law which states that the amount of transistors per unit area doubles every two years. To achieve this, the industry manufacturing Integrated Circuits (ICs) requires production technologies capable of producing smaller details. The machines capable of fulfilling these demands become more expensive and so does the cost per chip. This increase in cost is undesirable and a solution to this problem is to increase the production volumes per unit of time per machine. The industry's approach to increase the production volumes is to increase the diameter of the wafer from 300 mm to 450 mm. The increase in size of some components in the lithography machines introduces a number of challenges to the position control of the wafer chuck in lithography machines. The main challenge is the positioning accuracy requirements of the wafer chuck with respect to the focal point of the projection optics. This is caused by the decreased stiffness of the wafer chuck, which induces undesirable deformations of the wafer resulting in decreased positioning accuracy of the chuck with respect to the focal point. Recently, two new algorithms for estimating the wafer and wafer chuck deformations have been developed that may help solve this problem. The estimation algorithms rely on models to generate accurate estimates. In general the input, output, or both signals are not measurable. Therefore, it is not straight forward to apply system identification techniques to obtain a model. As alternative a model can be obtained from physical modeling. Both approaches are likely to result in a mathematical model with high uncertainties. The effect of model uncertainty on one of the estimation algorithms is studied in this thesis. The model uncertainty is propagated through the algorithm to obtain a theoretical upper bound on the estimation error. The error bounds are also used to solve the constructed Least Squares (LS) problems using Robust Least Squares (RLS) algorithms where for a case study the estimation accuracy is analyzed and compared with the estimates obtained using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). It is concluded that the usage of RLS algorithms together with the obtained error bounds increases the estimation quality under certain conditions. Furthermore, to show that these algorithms work, experimental results are preferred over simulation results and therefore an experimental setup is designed. The setup will also be used to demonstrate the capabilities of the estimation algorithms under conditions that are topologically similar to those in a real lithography machine. Finally, the setup has been build and its performance is validated using measurements. From these measurements it is concluded that the setup's specification matches with the designed specifications.Systems and ControlDelft Center for Systems and ControlMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

    The current study examines the work of Chuck Palahniuk, an American author of Ukrainian origin, from the point of the theory of the double. Structural patterns and systems of imagery of the author 's first two novels, «The Fight Club» and «Invisible Monsters», are analyzed, as is the role of the double in them. Theoretical grounding is provided by the conceptions of M. Bakhti and Yampols 'kyi, among others, and Chuck Palahniuk's own theoretical generalizations.Дослідження розглядає творчість американського письменника українського походження Чака Палагнюка (Паланіка) в аспекті теоріїдвійнщтва. Аналізуються структурні схеми і системи образів двох найперших романів автора: «Невидимі потвори» і «Бійцівський клуб», визначається роль двійника у цих романах. За теоретичне підґрунтя слугують концепції двійнщтва М. Бахтіна, М. Ямпольсь- кого та інших авторів, а також: теоретичні узагальнення самого Чака Палагнюка (Паланіка)
