Abstract: Embodiments are directed to short and/or near short etch rework. A microfluidic device is positioned on a portion of a circuit having a defect. The microfluidic device is caused to dispense etchant that removes the defect of the circuit, where a flow of the etchant is controlled to access the portion of the circuit having the defect to thereby etch away the defect, the flow of the etchant being obstructed from accessing other portions of the circuit. The microfluidic device is used to extract the etchant from the portion of the circuit such that the etchant avoids contact with the other portions of the circuit. The microfluidic device is removed from the circuit.

The system further includes a thermographic imaging system for collecting thermographic images of the unpowered component during the predetermined period of time. The system further includes a computer communicatively coupled to the thermographic imaging system and configured to classify a quality of the unpowered component based on the thermographic images of the unpowered component.

Abstract: A system and a method for a hardware security module having enhanced security features is disclosed. The hardware security module includes a card configured to be plugged into a computer system and at least one cryptographic chip disposed on the card. A security cover is placed over and encloses the cryptographic chip. The security cover has a first half and a second half. The first half of the security cover is located on the first side of the card, and the second half of the security cover is located on a second side of the card. To enhance the security a flex cable that has at least one sensor or circuitry configured to detect tampering with the hardware security module is embedded within the material of the security cover.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include preemptive traffic routing based on parsing of emergency dispatches. Aspects of the invention obtaining an emergency dispatch transmission and parsing the emergency dispatch transmission to obtain a location and a type of an emergency event. Aspects also include determining, based at least in part on the location and the type of the emergency event, an expected impact on traffic in an area including the location. Aspects further include transmitting the expected impact on traffic in the area to a vehicle navigation application.

Abstract: An apparatus for deployment and retrieval of section dividers includes a frame, a deployment rail, a first section divider carrier rail, and a second section divider carrier rail. The structure includes a first end of the first section divider carrier rail coupled to a first end of the deployment rail and a first end of the second section divider carrier rail coupled to a second of the deployment rail. A first actuator coupled to the first end of the first section divider carrier rail. A second actuator coupled to the second end of the first section divider carrier rail. The structure further includes a first deployment and retrieval system coupled to the first section divider carrier rail, wherein the first deployment and retrieval system guides a first retrieval body at a first end of a first section divider from the deployment rail to the first section divider carrier rail.

Abstract: A rotor assembly is provided and includes a rotor, tongs and an actuation system. The rotor includes a shaft defining a rotational axis about which the rotor is rotatable and rotor elements supported on the shaft to define grooves. The tongs are disposed in the grooves to occupy and move between first and second positions. At the first positions, the tongs are retracted from the grooves. At the second positions, the tongs are engaged in the grooves to disentangle fibers from the rotor. The actuation system is configured to bias the tongs toward the first positions and is actuatable to drive the tongs into the second positions.

Abstract: Devices and processes for axial disentanglement of debris from a rotatable mechanical agitator generally includes a cleaning member including a top stem portion, an intermediate cutting portion, and a bottom base portion; and a cylindrically-shaped mechanical agitator rotatably mounted within a head unit. The mechanical agitator includes one or more channels extending along a longitudinal axis and the head unit includes a slot opening coaxially aligned with a channel when in use. The bottom base portion and the intermediate cutting portion are configured to traverse a length of the one or more channels, wherein the intermediate cutting portion is positioned to cut debris entangled on the mechanical agitator when the top stem portion slidingly engages the slot opening in the head unit.

Abstract: An interlocking device for monitoring and enforcing shipping and acclimation conditions includes a servo motor, at least one locking pin, a battery, and a printed circuit board disposed within an enclosure, where the battery is electrically coupled to the servo motor and the printed circuit board. The interlocking device further includes a housing of an input power connector insertable into a first end of the enclosure to prevent the housing of the input power connector from electrically coupling to a power source, where the servo motor is configurable to engage the at least one locking pin to prevent a removal of the housing of the input power connector while inserted in the first end of the enclosure. The interlocking device further includes the printed circuit board configured to control the servo motor based on readings from one or more sensors electrically coupled to the printed circuit board.
