  • Patent number: 12326397
    Abstract: A process tube device can detect the presence of any external materials that may reside within a fluid flowing in the tube. The process tube device detects the external materials in-situ which obviates the need for a separate inspection device to inspect the surface of a wafer after applying fluid on the surface of the wafer. The process tube device utilizes at least two methods of detecting the presence of external materials. The first is the direct measurement method in which a light detecting sensor is used. The second is the indirect measurement method in which a sensor utilizing the principles of Doppler shift is used. Here, contrary to the first method that at least partially used reflected or refracted light, the second method uses a Doppler shift sensor to detect the presence of the external material by measuring the velocity of the fluid flowing in the tube.

  • Publication number: 20250122117
    Abstract: A glass-based assembly includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate comprising a surface. The surface has flaws, such as a population of small cracks extending into the surface, whereby the substrate is weakened relative to ideal strength thereof. The assembly further includes a coating coupled to the substrate and overlaying at least some of the flaws. Ultimate strength of the substrate with the coating coupled thereto is greater than that of the substrate alone, without the coating.

  • Publication number: 20240374154
    Abstract: An arterial pulse wave measurement system and a pulse wave measurement method are provided. The system includes a first sensor, a pressurizing element, and a processing device. The first sensor is arranged on the radial artery to detect a pulse wave amplitude of a radial artery. The pressurizing element contacts the first sensor to pressurize the first sensor. The processing device is coupled to the first sensor and the pressurizing element so as to control the first sensor to continuously detect the pulse wave amplitude and control the pressurizing element to continuously pressurize. When the processing device confirms that the pulse wave amplitude starts to decrease, the processing device controls the pressurizing element to depressurize until the pulse wave amplitude returns to a maximum amplitude pulse wave and records the pulse wave waveform of the radial artery under a constant pressure.

  • Publication number: 20240379463
    Abstract: In a method of inspection of a semiconductor substrate a first beam of light is split into two or more second beams of light. The two or more second beams of light are respectively transmitted onto a first set of two or more first locations on top of the semiconductor substrate. In response to the transmitted two or more second beams of light, two or more reflected beams of light from the first set of two or more first locations are received. The received two or more reflected beams of light are detected to generate two or more detected signals. The two or more detected signals are analyzed to determine whether a defect exists at the set of the two or more first locations.
