  • Publication number: 20250173880
    Abstract: A method for in-situ swath positioning includes generating an in-situ swath positioning database by selecting a plurality of high contrast alignment targets from a set of pixel-to-design alignment images within a pixel-to-design alignment database. The method includes performing a first runtime swath of a plurality of runtime dies, where each runtime frame associated with the first runtime swath includes a high contrast alignment target from the in-situ swath positioning database. The method may include determining one or more offset values for each runtime die based on the plurality of high contrast alignment targets and one or more runtime frames associated with the first runtime swath. The one or more offset values may include an x-offset value and a y-offset value for each die. The method may include adjusting an initial stage position based on the determined one or more offset values prior to performing a second runtime swath.

  • Publication number: 20240307643
    Abstract: Gauze placement apparatuses and related methods are disclosed herein. The gauze placement apparatus can include a lower fork extension that can have a fork portion and first and second lower prongs aligned with each other in a second direction that is transverse to a first direction in which an upper handle is oriented and an upper fork extension that can have a fork portion and first and second upper prongs aligned with each other in the second direction that is transverse to the first direction in which a lower handle is oriented. The upper handle and the lower fork extension being pivotally connected to the lower handle and the upper fork extension such that the upper handle resides above the lower handle and the upper fork extension resides above the lower fork extension. When the upper handle and lower handle are moved in a diverging direction, the upper and lower fork extensions move apart from each other to an open position.
