  • Systems And Methods For Acquisition Of Data From Sensors
    Publication number: 20240171416
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for low-power and high-sampling rate of analog signals received from sensors transported by host devices. The devices, systems and methods may be adapted to utilize GPS and PPS signals for synchronization with digitized signals generated based on the sampling of the analog signals that are simultaneously received and processed by multiple channels. Synchronized data packets may be recorded by the disclosed data acquisition systems, and may be further transmitted to host devices and remote devices.

  • CVD diamond or diamond-like carbon for chemical-mechanical polish etch stop
    Patent number: 5246884
    Abstract: Metallized semiconductor chips, such as are intended for VLSI, are coated with a first layer of SiO2 followed by a second layer of CVD diamond or DLC as an etch stop. The resulting structure is reproducibly and controllably planarized using a chem-mech slurry and an appropriate polishing pad, enabling subsequent layers to be built up similarly.
