Abstract: Wafer level electron beam prober systems, devices, and techniques, are described herein related to providing wafer level testing for fabricated device structures. Such wafer level testing contacts a first side of a die of a wafer with a probe to provide test signals to the die under test and performs e-beam imaging of the first side of the die while the test signals are provided to the die under test.

Abstract: A system for interacting with a vehicle user includes an optimization module configured to determine a control strategy for traversing a selected route based on a probabilistic prediction of actuator inputs, a monitoring module configured to monitor vehicle motion and driver inputs during operation of a vehicle over the selected route, and a prediction module configured to predict an optimal local path for traversing a section of the selected route, and predict a set of optimal actuator control actions. The system also includes an interface module configured to present a suggested set of actuator commands to the vehicle user based on the set of optimal actuator control actions, and a control system configured to control the vehicle to execute the suggested set of actuator commands based on the user accepting the suggested set of actuator commands.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for cancelling an internal magnetic field caused by a test signal within a test chamber of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A compensator device includes a set of one or more wire loops around a test chamber and an amplifier configured to drive a current in each wire loop of the set of one or more wire loops.

Abstract: Provided are methods for quantitating an amount of a polypeptide that comprises a portion of an antibody present in a sample (e.g., a plasma or serum sample) wherein the antibody comprises a constant region (e.g., a heavy chain or light chain constant region) that comprises an engineered mutation.

Abstract: According to one example, a hydrostatic bearing includes a carriage, and a guide rail that, when combined with the carriage, provides for linear motion of the carriage with respect to the guide rail. The hydrostatic bearing is configured to transfer forces between the carriage and the guide rail without mechanical contact between the carriage and the guide rail by supplying pressurized, incompressible fluid to bearing pockets in the carriage. Each of the bearing pockets is enclosed by a bearing land of a bearing pad, and the bearing pad comprises the general shape of a parallelogram, a trapezoid, an arrow, or any other shape where the edges are generally not orthogonal to the direction of motion.

Abstract: A press brake tool comprises a tool body having a working end configured for operation on a workpiece and a coupling end configured for engagement with a tool holder. The working end is disposed along the tool body, generally opposite the coupling end. One or more magnetic elements can be configured to induce a magnetic coupling for selective engagement and disengagement of the coupling end of the tool body with the tool holder.
