  • Publication number: 20230207357
    Abstract: A device may detect a semiconductor wafer to be transferred from a source wafer carrier to a target wafer carrier, and may cause a light source to illuminate the semiconductor wafer. The device may cause a camera to capture images of the semiconductor wafer after the light source illuminates the semiconductor wafer, and may perform image recognition of the images of the semiconductor wafer to determine whether an edge of the semiconductor wafer is damaged. The device may cause the semiconductor wafer to be provided to the source wafer carrier when the edge of the semiconductor wafer is determined to be damaged, and may cause the semiconductor wafer to be provided to the target wafer carrier when the edge of the semiconductor wafer is determined to be undamaged.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11329433
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a plug connector adapted to insert into a receptacle connector, the receptacle connector includes a cage having an opening. The plug connector includes a metal shell and a conductive elastic member. The metal shell is provided with a recessed groove. The conductive elastic member includes a conductive elastic body, the conductive elastic body has a holding portion held in the recessed groove and a first electromagnetic shielding portion extending out of the recessed groove from the holding portion, when the plug connector is inserted forwardly into the receptacle connector, the first electromagnetic shielding portion enters into the opening of the cage of the receptacle connector and mechanically and electrically contacts the cage and the metal shell. However, some embodiments may not include a holding portion or recessed groove.

  • Patent number: 8661010
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for providing supplemental video content for third party websites is disclosed. In one embodiment, coded instructions are transmitted from a content enhancement server to a host server, for incorporation into the webpage source code. The host server is controlled by a first entity and the content enhancement server is controlled by a second entity commercially distinct from the first entity. Keywords are obtained by executing of the coded instructions in the webpage received in the client computer from the host server to send the address of the requested webpage to the content enhancement server, which generates supplemental substantive video content information for transmission to the client.
