greatest ever and the press glass front
runner
I'm got exactly calls
and guys there some I had
stuff masters overtures from you are you
6
so I've been says that time much ahead
micro flash yeah for
love right here trucks
now CS for traction process
%uh XO master I my undergrad worker who
are you
minor say I want you
minecraft before
and her %uh ago got a master's there
and calf and they've been with and flash
for about five years
now on the small points ago school and a
and pieces from for two-and-a-half years
to at work articles and tells
refused
I S so one bunch of
is love I get started here
overview a lot of people know and
fashionable
happened was about a minute thanks so
much show you girl a couple are all
about
okay this call is still way for and this
is the smallest of paper
so I have class we manufacture that
question every ounce of my first so
normally starts at the personal
where live wafer and we build their fun
where
that decides it and that mean that flash
chip okay
so each chips have the call and I yeah
when little square said okay on the
design
sizes I ever between two hundred
1200 individual tiles difficulty for
family process wafers is processed them
and
lawsuit with 56 25 waivers and what we
call
so it as the true arrest her arms
factory
altogether this process we have 500-plus
processing steps from start to finish
said get this stuff away from for I when
it leaves
up leaves are fact goes less than we
planned a get bus
7 tax tips here's a says kinda what
mostly boys too small to accept rate
your to slice open skies to
you fight where 21 246 eat individuals I
stacked on top of each other
a single package a an enzyme
last lover flash memory has been his
personal stake RS
so this is the Saltair necessary here
nestlé's chips on this are this right
here
that's right here okay so
what's the best part of blessed memory
having us on Saturday
but if great
up so works yeah
no moving parts second draft tax credits
the wallet to do whatever I want it
it'll still work okay so it's a little
bit
more visual on this is a afraid of a lot
of people ask how you actually get
the pattern fine on the way for call
graph of people that's the light
yes about us that Tennessee summer and
get to the end have these multimillion
dollar phone with our controls
is the site like through this shrink the
image
pattern on the sleeper that so
extinguishers
so any given protection about 35
has to go for it mass
levels to going to try to work like it
should okay alright
so and Mike sunsets
for I'm class average we ventured micron
so 51 my
nice it is what it is I have no
Rs this for glasser
in January 2006 and knows
micron had techno still have my
what anywhere from when I have
technology wanna
my
and they had I have already has the
missing
billion Lehigh right here
future inside friend
the mountains right there for
sweet
answer my friend had basically the shell
billing done so in this trade measure
was formed basically
finished it fish everything in sight
good
site site million
dollars per sides so
our belief faith that if I'm not 38
years stuff regards
20 her stalls yeah
but since you're miles underground very
snowstorms track constantly expert
this
X
12 inches
hear people talk about are not merely
first by
it was the first three
right now three hundred million years
and have the latest standard
selected after infection
obviously the larger the way for such as
the more
ships make nasty well it said
years or see it you know it keeps
changing
to its makers treats makers 6-inch
wafers
eating speakers to both chambers I was
actually company's other
triggers so when you
when you change the costly for about
changing with for sizes
helped Cheetos tools Italy all rights
this to expect specific sites that we
pick up
0 sit-on-top tool so
when you hear about that's going from my
ps3
phone favored a lot money into actual 6
actually
make them for at some people living in
the numbers years kinda overall
here no silly like I said it's your you
but senator over forty percent
six years through her most recent
expansion
now call
where for doing better expanding create
more
same space crime
manufacture my cetron little dance
do a lot of recycling everything and
recycling
X fire the same me almost every single
internal standard out there have words
see top angry
possible
tax environment
our people were no just a must
wagering assets really works turnout
following year have because we're too in
that building
respects me a lot contractor unit
helping that
tastic time tired friends
officials of their house make this
possible because it's definitely
study that yes
you actually fashion guy souls of
million dollars a year hero our business
make one
I'm billion dollars in revenue heard
class class every year
because your comments on my every make
goes to
every we don't are so sales goes to them
whatever
points heart charm of talk about that
later something that we're
million from this after words
so
so yes last why is it so important why
in the past six years I fire
here lot of it has to do with this
what's thanks to you
last look back in 2006
no always different applications where
yeah less issues computing fires
dress cancer no can only spread
tell scrap but in 2006
mobile part mobile yousef
me all the applications using an last
through my look at 2011 at up to
44 US
of mark aspect
right yes
day
and that's why coming Saturday
to it so what happens
seekers syllables from
here friend
years
I get their minds think about stuff good
love to take this has affirmed think
your I would yeah I definitely will
replace
archivist like this
secure applications know obviously the
one that we're most excited about is
saucy right unit miss our guys drop your
laptop
mark for detainees yeah
low-power fashion
yes
show
state
this one right here and I'm cattle sheep
his actual face
yeah this was back in 2000 I
work because I'm its r34 and their
products and whiskey dicks
Katie by rather
I was kinda industry standard for
software
back away 09 now they're
that number expired
yes
Fla applications you know let us thanks
mark from the house last memory
players trying to push it more
computing laptop market the gaming
market
and how do you know what class so often
I fast access
yes not involve me you don't have to
have power
tasks
hours have it store memory right and
there's no moving parts
and it's tough access and low power
consumption because you don't have to
have power on/off
and that's why I this is the latest and
greatest
where you start seeing anything ever
left
okay so to Howard semiconductor industry
technology leader
this is why so this graph would be
different colors
lose I'm class it's basically our
processes size
so and so that no other companies rate
themselves
how they are but a small size yes
register with there faxing staircase
yes lasso so smallest make it
so back here kind 79 here
for known that on-axis time date
so that when I'm classes from our kinda
last summer
yes and
process say no can determine the
industry´s
company start getting up and here comes
2007
kinda in the middle of the pack for 59
process and then
20,000 campgrounds you're actually first
to market
there
process for the other tires where
awesome here behind us so really around
that's gotten the two thousand years
2009 as a friend for all the other and
actually last her here
you can see that ever since then for
yeah processes your process
process are still first market
and because as you know we've won
something doctor instead
your words three years and the 10 most
excited about right now is
that's much better here so outta every
Sunday company manufacturing
anything better weather processors
memory eighty
you go this company or its I'm class
specifically for our latest and greatest
small technology
class summer very proud that I know yeah
this over with now slowly working with
us customer
sendak as the district there preview
three kids in three some words
grow were very I something for a lot
cool what its and animal species Mr
words
class
yes sows facts
you
the 0
also
grouping full-time that just out to
transistor ghoulish
weekend okay most the
Paul Simmons and yeah about 49ers
screen with yet
makes me to okay
so market share starred euro market
share we started in 2006
right send so the truck
last six years and no ya the technology
side of things what when a
swells but know we have $4 for guys I
have class at me
people to do and we don't ever no
commitments for of minutes doing
Wednesday or
you house achieve its strategic goals
cemetery
you know sure homosexual everybody no
trust one another work with one another
you know what acid teamwork very
flattered
work you no it's not the my my my
friend doing this book teams polls
an execution no you're not able to you
be first to market at home transistor
shrinks
said when i text
said
so that's one thing that we we feel not
only on the technical side
size what fast
there
and
trite master for Massari Paso
BCS group again we I have all my
possibilities care what is written
russian girl 45 years milf
SBC just as the process controls and no
for girls at the same you are retired
pics here
so game
ukrainians of of
or we were talking about it in our just
because the only thing I follow you
never fast-paced and are was gonna smack
talk about here you can see
SBC which is
process control
for shows chars use for that
Sears semi-fat weaker cut friends
disagree with that
signals for women are are fast
presidents is based on that friend right
fro
its tonight do
estate data from cool me
prediction of what's gonna happen in the
future chase
here process and then we have
support future events
a for how we care for our overview you
see there around as their official
process for incident between machine
Armstrong was out for
uses were Vectorworks over your skin
cancer
dismiss or familiar we have
same coming up back or from or the from
present for here or to make a decision
it's fine for me frothy anti-death 42
controller
and making soon on cool time changer
changed forever we're working with and a
half of the draw you what you were
you see is more atmosphere my process to
see
but this for action got she's here
close to Earth varying from what you
expected so they make it
just a process change for
here
process so we were camera system with a
Scott manufacturing system
that system is are fair right will hold
their finger and
Rosa wafers showing here
its matter-of-fact
your risk management and automation host
it collection
50 assistance for North Station
nor you go way
so one thing that guys who run
which is yeah your way for or were a lot
of
which is good 7:45 waivers mentioned
earlier
a going internet equipment is
for many Mesa based upon world
that's what friends and work so your way
for were
or or servers you know what
just 7:45 weaver's way for ways to
ensure
I which think so weaver sciences control
minutes cost you so sequencing of
control
cleary said during the day works
especially with you moving average
controls
Mason
stop levy is a yeah you have signal
coming out
you know Landover weighting factor
so if you're off by a certain amount of
course so you can anticipate
don't necessarily wanna be for just
based one of four of your
wanna say I trust my course growth or
freak says Starcraft gonna be some for
approach rights measure dressed be
someone store
just that's what you do it does
for most wonderful what we're moving
force
we use a different set so when you're
said equations
state-space solution politics
know how long I'll throw so he may do
decision based upon
walk it also weighs about for also each
way for
individual architecture whatever
make an adjustment which works
within way for control kinda
Book It way problems across the way for
city
parts to multiple signals fun
it is kinda small yeah as you are steps
going control
come in ask values later goes for the
the meetings here so first wave
controlling you prepare when for you
know
for you control you know if there's a
solution there's a a very good you can
move
to make an adjustment tool you final
that
for your for
size spend so if you have any
find requirements Mike forwards to for
all
capture or pressure wherever you know
what
controlling and works rate this
troll 2 then fine 0
me too control and developed for use as
a
software 43
its graphical the software
gracefully officer recording my my life
will have little walks code came me
together
feature Parsons tells us the controller
richer what we want to you
quiet to do you want to look into
several tools
we Ross at looks 0
here
so there's the st. Charles talk about
you have a senatorial whoever number
for all or troll member you have enough
respect women doorstep
you fine but I have two years in the
state window
and then throws based congo course
respond how
Welker that over it so well since
spectacles can see here before trawlers
developed
yeah variation just
in the SBC char his return it for our so
it's you guys
and fighter so
speak to me also looking
said mission successful
its
on this case
piracy okay so rescue buildings first
goatee
okay for Best Buy six
use another look at it see the variation
here you know it
with the stalker as
from lawyers engineers see you much
fighter go for any anticipate products
better
government school certain
and his first probability of
you're right
decision this together with all the
other controllers yeah
cross paths we for sure make of
for fire pro
so United talk before that work in
progress here
this is one trawlers restored worked on
for ever
fitness that came in psh speed f4 speak
for or so we know
be some of my notified Sony's press
I know my market rewrite house no
another sadistic
teams from it so I know how much I our
perception of time
yes for by how far off lands that the
idea here's your you're off in your
property
you every mess so you copious free
right on on smeared
apples apples it grow many offers right
step
and sometimes go through processing
steps where sure
different differ number processing areas
mentioned before you
post-rock and games management work
a make a decision respond
40 work now you guys talk about mostly
continues control
right so you're talking to a sec s
always happens
and up to for hours but I miss my
this measures so here so you have twelve
hours
for copy us for our products your
your risking because you don't know it's
okay over works we can
yes really yes so that's why we have
such good
5 control
to mister performers structure
word
ever picture what you see so this is
what I spent a cross-sectional waif
looks like its earnings
frozen you measure all the statistics
years
this year's called thickness
I between sporty services right here
for store electron so
turned off
so for up yeah I guess that is for you
wrenching owns the biggest your way
we have some working measurements as
well sarkari
are finalized step
now we want to see go from here here and
you have all these very same
throw this movie's decisions to always
exactly the same
think this period just a little bit you
know all that stuff
directors
so yeah
is the model with dreyfus one source for
course goodness minuses him
issuing finest target cost of it
yes that's our are mostly hey that
question
to over
over drones
best guesstimate investor nations
support for all stash
out every workday yet for our actual
sickness was our
this process minus
finalist as poss of business yet frozen
to make sure
this is what we anticipated ago
years graphics for
support right
these are all things
very unhappy were made you
so now there's a cross-section with a
for my
much though we look at this point we
need need to have
this thing is here you can see here that
we relationships are
we have two
just tested it perfectly or are
sometimes for
way for espresso thousand dollars a
work or more material your meetings this
tool
you're right mister
show
first
so there's that years for apartments in
New York comptroller
a to materials as five in gas for
were gusting are CG
Center an idiot special we have their
uniformity across the way for
and that starr control
work so
it's like right you know just briefly
so getting out of control sounds fancy
basically all you're going to say missus
Omaha is
this property if your gonna hit and then
measured sable this what it is exactly
where I want to you
what I wanted it so this just
again here's a see that five years
here
or
better
from Sunday more complex
problem
those no with
the had one question for you a personnel
comments how was your up here's
size is it on just news photos biography
or how much they rely on you guys still
use their
ship I could put a percentage wise on it
but to
basically with you love you
what does curves and we are variation is
is
have our crosses one or more they suffer
our process window and think that work
for another step
now doesn't know what to expect so
you out of the percentage of it
every involved said some some areas like
white shirt with rage
okay run it manually ask your for
otherwise there's so much variation yeah
sometimes when you're coming
tax rollback the process of step
so that case that controllers necessary
yeah go ahead data does to
or for results
change excuse for these just
a lotta are wonderful an age
you for money
shears process to no teaching residents
have to rely on
I am work
from him I
every
pass out
to merchant
back
and also you have process movements 01
2012
everything's okay or p
that moves market so flattering
take up to an hour no
wrong
product
five years ago
yeah and you're fine now since from
49ers there's no make
his number is wondering about what
they're so ago
we have agents you ever a real-life
major
yeah if you have razors I get a la playa
from got and about though
where
extra ground anyway
%uh okay so this yes %uh
another example the researchers one from
Frye is this is a example
from diffusion a basically a diffusion
work this week but
waivers and the furnace every flue gases
the furnace positive sometimes fail %uh
on was so this this over here just got
shows what
diffusion furnace look like this usually
takes about five songs
in there you can put five wats way
she artwork by wafers in their name goes
on what's called
boss both made quartz and his show
returning shows the whole thing up
%uh does present some so unique
control don't is definitely more problem
couple
well Olympics %ah and in most cases in
the future
now yes the state test weaver's in for
in the balls measured the thickness
about film
successfully persistent measuring it on
after product with doing justice
on and the way we come up with mom
this is a moderate you're just generic
one where we gather of it the stuff
centers that
surface these are process noms
right there temperature so will or just
a
tops on temperature call centers of
culture general to keep the center
6 and the
bombs on the bottom to the church we
also just
time at times but it stays in the trust
on
so that's kind of a as a state space
with your model
%uh that we've come up with a way that
we usually do that
is just up by reading few weeks front
view we
change all settings rationale for simple
2012
couple all so any questions about
okay so now we're getting into the fun
stuff math I know
us I'm gonna get too much into it
goods it's like a refund %uh
so basically we years most up to use the
space control
dare mention that we do you some you may
control
on the bus or statistics based control
that is the
song is just a question and then yeah
outbreak was right there on were ass is
your state's
you is your employer on going over there
is what we consider our process always
on the right your replies are also don't
you like your measurement house a couple
film you deposited on the way for
um here little that's right here
is INEC forward terms you might have in
the future usually don't have
feedforward terms %uh and then be
is your vision so what were their stuff
about for you predicted that you're
going to get so now
you actually measure what's the
difference between actual
measured up but perfect that's our
mission on
so this is a gusta a status
mission for us her filter press caller
got furniture
right so with of predictive control not
their stuff go I'm we actually
you can actually %uh specify
incoming runs you actually want guitar
so generally I in what we do we always
wanted
next run because with their site or
something 0 12 hours
you know from between running away for
actually getting a trophy
make that up if we want to make an
update to make it fit our
very next round I'm you could even
offered a different race
control so you know i i wanna actually
gradually get
sorry Department three runs some usually
we ve just friended on
on the filter horizon is what we use
only do we try to estimate our state's
overusing historical
store yes make the state's I'm
because you know I'm real world we've
got a ways in our crosses
good was our measurements I'm if we just
ate measurement
wheeze base our decisions Foley on
that last measurement it might make a
bad so we
we don't have to do that we always want
consider what's happened
past as well so we don't make too big
adjustment small
so that's the
close your eyes and predation so
this is the state estimation equations
on right there you can see there were
some a
from cables -1 and -1 structure
your historical debut out over
you know also last losses measure %uh
and basically I you have used to waking
me
features skewing our on and few
waz to process W our waist measurement
this
on so generally up right now we don't
have a very good way to knees
for democracy gets pretty up pretty
tricky to use
on but basically you 14 less weight
on the last measure law you make are
smaller so you make your we usually
your 1 %uh just identity matrix that
everyone
like you have all the way glass what
measure
remain are really big which means Reform
Trust
or last night as mentors are measure
my for the trust on fifth wheel are
reduced that
actually give a bit more weight to the
store they have suffer
I'm that we can actually
at all these constraints
well so we're kind of getting of course
so
state spaces
space
%uh
tougher than I state-space controls is a
pretty a
pretty well field
States folsom's systems
so we don't use anything this
that
it just means that you to find States
system and
and thats their either measurable for ms
want to but with those states
you can basically to find work
I'm systems that and snatch contact you
know what states are
system you could say you tell offices
okay substance I standard
you
and our case a hospice the states that
we use a state's
are actually met sold younger get in
that ass stuffed
more state space control you can you can
use left observers and things like that
estimate work best as such
can't wherever you measure other things
that help
asked me with this so yeah over
were about that state-space focus
problem with the night
on
okay so this information horizon re call
this the controller request so this is
after you
estimate interstates you get a post
draws you reestimates
States system and then what you want for
day
what settings which use for the next
block so use this equation here
and again we have these weeding matrices
few in our
on and space with that if you make a few
small are that base pieces saying 30
care how far the movie inputs issues
important
we just want to to guitar so you give it
to you in a small
31 get away around space we cost
function
know if your inputs Ocelot if you want
flow forecast something that costs walk
for yes increased are and make it so
that
balances out on and then befits itself
ellos
strings Ontario of weakness and optimize
answer there's no question about that so
such as we're concerned about that
because we don't know where r
all or something like that too much you
ever where archery equipment by
making those adjustments or sat on its
own we do but I don't think so
there's for the day analysis done foster
stuff generally we just trend are
says most world
yeah we have very regularly scheduled
maintenance of
stuff switcher repairing or replacing
cars
were here
sales a okay
gonna skip skip this life basements
offer we can use
K cattle things to get better at work
fun
and one order but they get measure out
and thus offers
and Zack on so this is the future
love what we're doing we're doing non
threaded
Frederick for asking last night
framework for doing that right now
I'm yeah another slap back
performance monitoring and so to me on
were try to optimize SQL are we
matrices I gets better of high school
and %uh credit move into the ground for
always on so known for control
SKS awesome we can skip skip this
perhaps I ever
basically you have helpful tools
products and all that stuff okay all
feedback
the same oil just updating parks of
tomorrow based on work
you wanna know for a fact that sees a
%uh that again state estimation
optimization are internationally works
project this summer
this brick wall basically what we wanna
do is have
a MATLAB running in the background its
cost
placing all over dade updating this
issue an army
she's %uh to give us of control
because we saw it prime he saw 15 sixty
percent
grooming by just fewer so
of government %uh so here's the plan
demographics are true cash for old place
got
masters reasoning yeah PhD got
also page
years up so it's for I'll
so are you guys go from here %uh
you wanna we're going back to you can
come as a enter
apply for jobs talk
people who are internships experience a
this is why I really like doctor a
murder statistics through and I was here
you are you justices
last night this %uh is my spend
real factory farms just six years so
getting faster
more well takes advanced souls
last state space plus because of
state-space you go
us through the to like college
or offices
alright so we got some a question asked
time
we gots must be desperate we got
splashed rest
have so these are all signs which two
companies combined
for I am fifty universitaire
heard
you lose you
and alright want to everything we
produce
and okay
special show work yeah
I want to what does peace has stepped
forth
sauces yeah
yes
great you
feature sizes current technology
rationed
yeah
what do you see someone else and for
singles butts
what speed test controls rate you're
measuring that very thing you trying to
control
to stack good just be a vast yes via
back to process some
said measuring the things coming into it
speed or control
like a preemptive strike
and pussy cared for performance analysis
their
actually match this weekend covers for
tentative
yeah
good a
K its leading transparent process you
right yes I'll
I texan's K are
seemed
okay scale UK
your upper limit I miss your lower lip
major controllers 556
sick space before my past yeah
process this basic yeah k1
got you there space exactly 36 waveforms
here senator Facebook freezer up on us
quirk I use
okay yeah
this work you okay questions you guys
have for us
