  • Patent number: 11960426
    Abstract: Concurrent servicing of a first cable of a cable pair while a second cable of the cable pair remains operational improves multi-processor computer system availability and serviceability. A pair of processing chips in different processing drawers may continue operation by way of the second cable while the first cable is degraded or serviced. Upon the servicing of the first cable, the serviced cable may transition to a fully operational state with no interruptions to the operations between the processing drawers by way of the second cable. Since cable faults are typically more common than processing chip or processing drawer faults, identification of cable faults and the ability to maintain operations of the processing drawers connected therewith is increasingly important.

  • Publication number: 20230404463
    Abstract: A method for facilitating acquisition of a motor evoked potential (MEP) may include facilitating an MEP stimulation sequence to obtain the MEP. The facilitating may include delivering a first stimulation pulse to one or more peripheral nerves of a patient. The method may also include delivering, after the facilitating, the MEP stimulation sequence to one or more cranial nerves of the patient to obtain the MEP. The method may also include determining, based on the MEP, a physiological response has occurred. The method may also include indicating that the physiological response has occurred. The facilitating may reduce an intensity of the train of stimulation pulses of the MEP stimulation sequence, limit movement of the patient to the region of interest during the delivery of the MEP stimulation, and improve an accuracy of determining that the physiological response has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20220262755
    Abstract: Achieving homogeneous and heterogeneous integration for 2.5D and 3D integrated circuit, chip-to-wafer, chip-to-substrate, or wafer-to-wafer bonding is an essential technology. The landing wafer or substrate is bonded with a carrier by using a temporary bonding material before thinning the landing wafer to the desired thickness. Upon completion of redistribution layer formation, Cu pad formation, or other backside processing, dies or wafers with through-silicon vias are stacked onto the landing substrate before molding and singulation. As the landing wafer usually has interconnection metals in the bond line, and those interconnection metals are typically made from lead-free solder alloys, deformation of those solder alloys during thermocompression bonding becomes an issue for manufacturers. To address this issue, a polymeric material with desired strengths is coated on the device wafer to form a conformal protective layer on top of solder alloys, thus enabling temporary bonding and debonding processes.
