摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for mitigating port swapping during signal tracking. The method and apparatus generally include acquiring a first signal characteristic corresponding to a signal assigned to a first port, comparing the first signal characteristic to a second previously acquired signal characteristic, and assigning the signal to a second port if the first and second signal characteristics vary. Such a configuration mitigates port swapping without requiring signals to include identification information, thereby enabling assignment of signals corresponding to any format or source.

摘要： A particle detection system to identify and classify particles is programmed to capture digitized images of the particle generated by directing a light source through a fluid that includes the particle. The particle scatters the light and the scattered light is detected using a detector. The detector creates a digital signal corresponding to the particle, which is used by the system to generate Bio-Optical Signature. This Bio-Optical Signature can then be used to classify the event, or particle. Count rate and trends of the classified particles are monitored to detect a change that is representative of the overall health safety of the water or by knowing the levels of bacteria in process water, such as Reverse Osmosis (RO) feed water, reject brine, and product water, the operator may better monitor the life and condition of the RO membrane.

摘要： A particle detection system uses illumination incident at an angle to detect particles in a liquid such as water. By using illumination incident at an angle, the scattered light can be measured through a range of angles that are greater than the measured range of angles produced when the illumination is incident at a normal angle, when using the same detector. For example, the light can be measured through an angle that is twice that produced with illumination incident at a normal angle.

摘要： A liquid dispensing device. The liquid dispensing device has a tray for holding a liquid at a relatively constant level. A syringe is used for drawing fluid from the tray. A liquid container containing a liquid is positioned upside-down in the tray such that the opening of the liquid container defines a vertical position that is slightly below the liquid level in the tray. Atmospheric pressure on the liquid in the tray and a vacuum inside the liquid container prevents liquid from draining from the container until the fluid level in the tray drops to a level approximately equal to the vertical position of the opening. The positioning of the syringe for drawing fluid is simplified by reason of the fact that the level of fluid in the tray is maintained at an approximately constant level despite withdrawal of quantities of fluid from the tray.

摘要： A method and apparatus for determining the endpoint of a planarization process during chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and more specifically for determining endpoint of a planarization process for a thin metal film deposited on a wafer's surface and/or a method of altering the plating and deplating of the thin metal film during the planarization process. The apparatus includes one or more probes embedded in a working surface. The probes are in electrical communication with the thin film on the wafer's surface as it is planarized against the working surface. The probes measure the thickness of the thin metal film and/or induce a current in the thin metal film to adjust the plating and deplating that occurs during the planarization process.

摘要： A high resolution laminography system for the inspection of integrated circuits wherein a beam of highly focused electrons is traced in a circular pattern on a flat target within a vacuum chamber. The target converts the electron beam into X-rays, so that a source of X-rays is produced which rotates in synchronization with a rotating detector assembly. An object is placed within the vacuum chamber, between the X-ray source and the detector so that an X-ray cross sectional image of a cutting plane of the object is produced. A computer and feedback system controls image acquisition and an automated positioning system. The computer system can also operate under program control to automatically analyze data, measure characteristics of the object under inspection, and make decisions regarding the acceptability of the object's quality. The invention also employs a channeltron imager to directly image the target so that the condition of the target may be monitored, and electron drift within the system can be compensated for.

摘要： A tomographic inspection system wherein the electron beam of a microfocus X-ray tube is deflected in a circular scan pattern onto the tube anode in synchronization with a rotating detector that converts the X-ray shadowgraph into an optical image and derotates the image so as to be viewed and integrated in a stationary video camera. A computer system controls an automated positioning system that supports the item under inspection and moves successive areas of interest into view. In order to maintain high image quality, a computer system also controls the synchronization of the electron beam deflection and rotating optical system, making adjustments for inaccuracies of the mechanics of the system. The computer system can also operate under program control to automatically analyze data, measure characteristics of the item under inspection and make decisions regarding the acceptability of the item's quality. The invention produces high resolution images in rapid succession so as to be suitable for use in conjunction with manufacturing production lines and capable of inspecting electronic devices, solder connections, printed wiring boards and other assemblies.

摘要： A particle detection system uses a camera to produce a picture based on the scattered light generated by a particle in a liquid medium, when a laser beam is incident on the particle. These pictures are then automatically analyzed through the use of a processing system (e.g., a computer). The processing system is configured to record the forward scattering intensity (e.g., amplitude) and the picture of the scattered light rays to generate a classification of the particle causing the scattering. Count rate and trends of the classified particles are monitored to detect a change that is representative of the overall health safety of the water or by knowing the levels of bacteria in process water, such as Reverse Osmosis (RO) feed water, reject brine, and product water, the operator may better monitor the life and condition of the RO membrane.
