Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for training and using a vector encoder to determine vectors for sub-images of text in an image to subject to optical character recognition. A vector encoder is trained to encode images representing text into vectors in a vector space. Vectors of images representing similar text have a high degree of cohesion in the vector space. Vectors of images representing dissimilar text have a low degree of cohesion in the vector space. An input image is processed to determine sub-images of the input image that bound text represented in the input image. The sub-images are inputted to the vector encoder to output sub-image vectors. The vector encoder generates a search vector for search text. Optical character recognition is applied to at least one region of the input image including the sub-images having sub-image vectors matching the search vector.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for mounting a transducer to a bond head of a wire bonder. In particular, the bond head of the wire bonder is operative to mechanically drive the transducer when forming electrical interconnections between separate locations within a semiconductor package. Specifically, the apparatus comprises: i) a flexural structure having a connector for connecting to the transducer, the flexural structure being configured to bend; and ii) at least one actuator attached to the flexural structure, the at least one actuator being operative to bend the flexural structure to thereby cause a displacement of the transducer connected thereto via the connector.
