  • Patent number: 10576566
    Abstract: A processor receives solder paste information, where the solder paste information describes a solder paste used in assembly of a printed circuit board. A processor determines a minimum magnetic force required for removing the solder paste from the printed circuit board based on the solder paste information. A processor receives electromagnet information, where the electromagnet information describes an electromagnet used in cleaning of a misprint of the solder paste on the printed circuit board. A processor determines a minimum amount of power to provide the electromagnet to induce the minimum magnetic force in the electromagnet, where the determination of the amount of power is based on the electromagnet information and the minimum magnetic force. A processor adjusts an amount of power applied to the electromagnet to at least the determined minimum amount of power to clean the misprint of the solder paste from the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 10239674
    Abstract: Various embodiments of containers are described having a base and a cap that is configured to couple with the base. The base includes a housing having a hollow interior, with the housing extending upwardly from an upper surface of the base. The base also includes a set of flexible tabs that are configured to flex when a force is applied. The housing has a set of outward projections, each of which is configured to be inserted into a recessed portion or notch of the cap when the cap is coupled with the base. The cap further includes a set of downward projections that contact the flexible tabs, such that a downward force applied to the cap causes the flexible tabs to flex downwardly, and the projections of the housing to move within the first and second recessed portions.
