Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for performing exposure operations on a wafer utilizing both a stepper apparatus and an aligner apparatus. The exposure operations are performed with respect to large composite base dies, e.g., interposers, defined within the wafer, where the interposers will become a part of microelectronic devices by coupling with active dies or microchips. The composite base dies may be coupled to the active dies via “native interconnects” utilizing direct bonding techniques. The stepper apparatus may be used to perform exposure operations on active regions of the composite base dies to provide a fine pitch for the native interconnects, while the aligner apparatus may be used to perform exposure operations on inactive regions of the composite base dies to provide a coarse pitch for interfaces with passive regions of the composite base dies.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting injection timing of closely spaced multiple injections via a same injector. In one example, during an inter-injection spacing between a first injection and a second injection in a set of multiple injections being lower than a threshold period, an opening time of the second injection in the set of multiple injections may be adjusted based on another opening time of another second injection in a previous set of multiple injections.

Abstract: A switching power conversion apparatus for converting power from an input voltage source to a load includes first and second switches connected to a switching node. An inductive element has a magnetizing current connected to the node, and the inductive element is connected to deliver energy via the first and second switches from the input voltage to the load during a succession of power conversion cycles. A capacitance connected to the node resonates with the inductive element to cause parasitic oscillation. A clamp subcircuit across the inductive element contains an auxiliary switch to trap energy and prevent parasitic oscillation, wherein the auxiliary switch is complementary to the first switch. A controlled voltage source injects energy in the inductive element, when the auxiliary switch turns off to discharge the parasitic capacitance by using trapped energy in the inductive element in addition to injected energy from the controlled voltage source.

The changes in state may be detected by another processor and an averaged time interval generated. A signal corresponding to the averaged time interval may be communicated to a distributed database and propagated to remote systems. Devices associated with the remote systems may adjust or set a device clock in accordance with the averaged time interval.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed towards the real-time detection and mitigation of security threats to a domain name system (DNS) for a communication network. A graph-theoretic method is applied to detect compromised DNS assets (e.g., DNS servers and web servers that DNS servers map domain names to). A graph is generated from domain name resolution (DNR) transactions. The nodes of the graph represent the DNS assets and edges between the nodes represent the DNR transactions. The graph is analyzed to detect features that signal compromised assets. The detection of such features serves to act as a binary classifier for the represented assets. The binary classifier acts to classify each node as non-compromised or compromised. The analysis is guided by supervised and/or unsupervised machine learning methods. Once the assets are classified, DNR transactions are analyzed in real-time. If the transaction involves a compromised asset, an intervention is performed that mitigates the threat.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling an autonomous machine. The autonomous machine has sensors generating input data, while the controller includes two or more neural networks that inference using the input data and generate output data. The neural networks can be trained using an identical set of training data set. The output data from each of the neural networks are monitored to ensure that the integrity of the operation is maintained by, for example, the output data from one neural network is compared with the output data from another neural network to verify the consistency. If the comparison yields that the integrity of the system is not maintained at an acceptable level, the controller can stop using the output in controlling the autonomous machine.
