  • Patent number: 11966909
    Abstract: A computing device provides enhancement of the capabilities of text messaging applications that execute on user devices. The computing device includes a processor that receives a text message via a network from a user device, the text message including a character representation of a product bundle of a merchant. The processor determines bundle data for the product bundle by referencing a database using the character representation. The processor provides one or more text messages via the network to the user device with transaction data including the bundle data, payment data, and shipping data. The processor receives a text message via the network from the user device confirming the transaction data. The user may use text commands presented by the computing device or natural language conversation in the text messages to the computing device to modify the transaction data and perform other ecommerce actions.

  • Publication number: 20240125847
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe a voice coil actuated leaf spring prober that advantageously may be operated to probe every individual device (device under test—DUT) comprising a contemporary wafer. The prober according to aspects of the present disclosure includes one or more probe needles attached in an electrically isolated arrangement to an end of a horizontal-U-shaped, recurved, leaf spring arrangement. The prober includes—for example—a voice coil actuator positioned within the horizontal-U-shaped portion of the leaf spring which—when operated—results in leaf spring displacement and probe needle movement such that it may mechanically/electrically contact the DUT.

  • Publication number: 20240113940
    Abstract: Historical data is collected from prior risk analysis for applications to be installed or already installed on computing devices. A risk profile is determined for new applications to be installed or already installed on the same and/or different computing devices. The risk profile is determined by comparing or correlating the historical data to data regarding the new applications (e.g., metadata such as package identifier, signer data, name, version). Various remediation actions are determined based on the risk profile.

  • Patent number: 11924230
    Abstract: Data is collected from a set of devices according to a data collection policy. The data is associated with at least one of: device configuration, device state, or device behavior. A norm is established using the collected data. A different data collection policy is established based on the norm. Data is collected from a particular device according to the different data collection policy. The norm is compared to the data collected from the particular device. If there is a deviation beyond a threshold deviation between the norm and the data collected from the particular device, a responsive action is taken.

  • Publication number: 20240030006
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for erosion rate monitoring for wafer fabrication equipment are described to support determining a real-time edge ring erosion rate for an edge ring used in manufacturing memory devices or other semiconductor devices. A manufacturing system may support a real-time edge ring erosion rate determination using force sensors, which may measure the weight of the edge ring. The controller may correlate the measured weight to a height of the edge ring. The controller may use the height to adjust a vertical placement of the edge ring, or one or more other manufacturing variables, during manufacturing operations, which may compensate for edge ring erosion and reduce or eliminate yield loss when manufacturing a memory device or other semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 11873155
    Abstract: The container is suitable for the separate packaging and storage of at least two contents, which need to be combined in the preparation of a ready-to-use product. Two container bodies each provided with a coupler are assembled by using a separate interface device as intermediate connector. A mixing mechanism is formed when inserting the couplers through opposite annular rings of the connector of the interface device. The interface device includes two openers having a different or opposite orientation, typically arranged inside a same puncturing structure of generally cylindrical shape, for releasing an internal passage initially sealed between two closure members. The closure members respectively close an access opening of the container bodies, hermetically. Relative movement of the closure members toward the openers allows communication between a first compartment and a second compartment.

  • Publication number: 20230396550
    Abstract: Interconnect systems and method of operating such are disclosed. A plurality of nodes coupled via a packet transport path form an interconnect and the nodes provide ingress points to the interconnect for a plurality of packet sources. A central controller holds permitted rate indications for each of the plurality of packet sources, in accordance with which each packet source sends packets via the interconnect. The nodes each respond to packet collision event at that node by sending a collision report to the central controller. In response the central controller, in respect of a collision pair of packet sources associated with the packet collision, decreases the permitted rate indication corresponding to a packet source of the collision pair of packet sources which currently has the higher permitted rate indication. Periodically the permitted rate indications of all of the packet sources are increased, subject to a maximum permitted rate indication for each.
