Abstract: An emulated card selection method is implemented on a mobile device having a near field communication (NEC) NFC function. A first emulated card and a second emulated card are configured on the mobile device, When detecting an NFC radio frequency field, the mobile device detects whether there is fingerprint input. The mobile device selects the first emulated card if there is the fingerprint input. The mobile device selects the second emulated card if there is no fingerprint input. The mobile device performs NEC interaction with the NFC card reader based on the selected first emulated card or second emulated card. The mobile device can automatically select an emulated card in different emulated cards based on a card swiping status when a user uses an NEC emulated card.

Abstract: A processor supports new thread group hierarchies by centralizing work distribution to provide hardware-guaranteed concurrent execution of thread groups in a thread group array through speculative launch and load balancing across processing cores. Efficiencies are realized by distributing grid rasterization among the processing cores.

Abstract: In various embodiments, scheduling dependencies associated with tasks executed on a processor are decoupled from data dependencies associated with the tasks. Before the completion of a first task that is executing in the processor, a scheduling dependency specifying that a second task is dependent on the first task is resolved based on a pre-exit trigger. In response to the resolution of the scheduling dependency, the second task is launched on the processor.

Abstract: An apparatus for fixing the position of a quartz furnace tube in a semiconductor processing furnace is described. The furnace is of the type that has a cylindrical body possessing an open end through which the tube may be withdrawn, and a base postioned on the open end, wherein the tube includes a flange portion secured to the base through which gas may be withdrawn from or introduced into the furnace tube. The tube is coaxially disposed within the furnace body. The apparatus may include two clamp halves each has a half-circular shape for engaging the flange portion of the furnace tube onto the base, and a mounting means for mounting the two clamp halves to the base.

Abstract: A pico fuse detector assembly incorporating a probe structure that minimizes short-out of closely adjacent pico fuses during testing has two probe arms, each pivotably connected at one end to a detector body with their free ends adjustably dispaceable from each other and respectively accomodating improved probe elements thereon. Each probe element has a conductive lead disposed inside an insulating housing connected at one end to a set of test contacts extending from the bottom of the housing. The other end of the lead is coupled by a spring to a test circuit. The restricting of the contact area with the isolating housing limits the chance of the contacts accidentally being placed at a location to cause damage to two closely arranged adjacent pico fuses under test and thus obviates the problem of fuse short-out during measuring of the closely arranged fuses. Also, the contacts and lead are axially movable by virtue of the spring-mounting to the test circuit.

Abstract: In a CVD vacuum chamber processing system for depositing a blanket of refractory material, such as tungsten, upon a frontside of a semiconductor wafer, an inert gas, such as argon is directed to the backside of the wafer in a manner so as to prevent the chamber reaction gases from reacting with polysilicon or other materials on the backside of the wafer as well as to prevent the deposition of the blanket material on the backside of the wafer. This method alleviates the problems of particulate generation and loss of wafer backside datum surface due to the inadvertent buildup of unwanted materials. The wafer is placed on a heater platen and is secured by a specified range of vacuum pressures. The wafer is exposed to specified ranges of chamber pressure during the deposition phase. During the purge phase, the chamber pressure is reduced and the wafer chucking pressure is increased to a specified range. The method is terminated with the equalization of pressure between the front and backside of the wafer.
