Abstract: Features of each ordered step of a recorded test script for an application under test (AUT) are generated. The ordered steps are segmentally organized over actions based on feature relatedness of the ordered steps. Each action includes a contiguous subset of the ordered steps. The actions are hierarchically organized within a tree based on an ordered feature relatedness of the actions. The tree has nodes respectively corresponding to the actions. The actions are abstractedly related to one another based on an unordered feature relatedness of the actions to generate abstracted actions that each generalize a subset of the actions. Abstracted action groups are generated based on the abstracted actions and the tree. Each abstracted action group includes abstracted actions mapping to corresponding nodes of the tree within a same branch. The ordered steps of the recorded test script are collapsed into a series of instantiations of the abstracted action groups.

Abstract: One or more images of a device feature are acquired using an imaging tool. A geometrical shape is defined encompassing the relevant pixels of each image, where the geometrical shape is represented in terms of one or more parameters. A cost function is defined whose variables comprise the one or more parameters of the geometrical shape. For each image, numerical optimization is applied to obtain optimal values of the one or more parameters for which the cost function is minimized. The optimal values of the one or more parameters are reported as metrology data pertaining to the device feature.

Abstract: A connector assembly which controls impedance. The connector assembly includes a first metallic outer housing and a second metallic outer housing. The second metallic housing has a conductor receiving portion. A rib is formed in the conductor receiving portion, the rib extends in a direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second metallic outer shell.
