Patent number: 11945004Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system has a multi-station cleaning and inspection system. Within semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system, a tray cleaning station uses a first rotating brush passing over a first surface of a carrier and possibly semiconductor die, and a second rotating brush passing over a second surface of the carrier and semiconductor die opposite the first surface of the carrier and semiconductor die. Debris and contaminants dislodged from the first surface and second surface of the carrier by the first rotating brush and second rotating brush are removed under vacuum suction. A conveyor transports the carrier through the multi-station cleaning and inspection system. The first rotating brush and second rotating brush move in tandem across the first surface and second surface of the carrier. Air pressure is injected across the first rotating brush and second rotating brush to further remove debris and contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: UTAC Headquarters Pte.

Patent number: 11556796Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for training a neural network or providing a pre-trained neural network with the weight-updates being compressible using at least a weight-update compression loss function and/or task loss function. The weight-update compression loss function can comprise a weight-update vector defined as a latest weight vector minus an initial weight vector before training. A pre-trained neural network can be compressed by pruning one or more small-valued weights. The training of the neural network can consider the compressibility of the neural network, for instance, using a compression loss function, such as a task loss and/or a weight-update compression loss. The compressed neural network can be applied within a decoding loop of an encoder side or in a post-processing stage, as well as at a decoder side.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Caglar Aytekin, Francesco Cricri, Yat Hong Lam

Patent number: 11341688Abstract: Optimization of a neural network, for example in a video codec at the decoder side, may be guided to limit overfitting. The encoder may encode video(s) with different qualities for different frames in the video. Low-quality frames may be used as both input and ground-truth during optimization. High-quality frames may be used to optimize the neural network so that higher-quality versions of lower-quality inputs may be predicted. The neural network may be trained to make such predictions by making a prediction based on a constructed low-quality input for which the corresponding high-quality version is known, comparing the prediction to the high-quality version, and fine-tuning the neural network to improve its ability to predict a high-quality version of a low-quality input. To limit overfitting, the neural network may be concurrently or in an alternating fashion trained with low-quality input for which a higher-quality version of the low-quality input is known.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Alireza Zare, Francesco Cricri, Yat Hong Lam, Miska Matias Hannuksela, Jani Olavi Lainema
