  • Publication number: 20240094642
    Abstract: A wafer shape metrology system includes a wafer shape metrology sub-system configured to perform one or more stress-free shape measurements on a first wafer, a second wafer, and a post-bonding pair of the first and second wafers. The wafer shape metrology system includes a controller communicatively coupled to the wafer shape metrology sub-system. The controller is configured to receive stress-free shape measurements from the wafer shape sub-system; predict overlay between one or more features on the first wafer and the second wafer based on the stress-free shape measurements of the first wafer, the second wafer, and the post-bonding pair of the first wafer and the second wafer; and provide a feedback adjustment to one or more process tools based on the predicted overlay. Additionally, feedforward and feedback adjustments may be provided to one or more process tools.

  • Patent number: 11930572
    Abstract: A system for emitting light (such as a luminaire) includes a first light emitting diode (LED) string and a first LED driver that is electrically connected in parallel to the first LED string. The system also may include a second (or more) LED string(s), each associated with an additional LED driver. One-way conductors and normally-open switches are used so that if one LED driver fails, the remaining LED driver(s) will deliver power to the failed driver's LED string so that the light remains operational, but with a reduced brightness.

  • Patent number: 11859018
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides peptoid-based chelating ligands, corresponding cyclic peptoids, and methods of making thereof. Functional groups may be tailored for high metal binding affinity and selectivity. The side chains of a cyclic peptoid according to the present disclosure may be selected based on, for example, high affinity for actinide or other metal ions, selectivity for actinide or other metal ions, the ability to recover a metal once it is bound to the peptoid, and whether the overall peptoid should be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Unlike siderophores, peptoid-based chelating ligands of the present disclosure are not readily hydrolyzed under physiological conditions. Therefore, peptoid-based chelating ligands may be, for example, used to treat actinide (e.g., iron and lead) poisoning in vivo. Moreover, peptoid-based chelating ligands of the present disclosure may be used for medical imaging, chelation therapy, drug delivery, and separation technologies, for example.

  • Patent number: 11855853
    Abstract: An information technology (IT) network includes configuration items (CIs) that may constantly change, where the CIs describe hardware components or software components that are configured to operate on the IT network. Machine learning techniques can be employed determine whether a CI has been changed (e.g., added, updated, or removed) in the IT network. For example, a software code or a log message associated with a CI can be analyzed to determine whether the CI is a newly added or updated within the IT network.

  • Patent number: 11832924
    Abstract: Methods for dynamically evaluating blood flow are provided. The method may include injecting Indocyanine Green (ICG) into the bloodstream of a patient, such that the ICG perfuses into a tissue of the patient. ICG images of the tissue may be recorded and stored, such that a user may select a range of stored ICG images. Data indicative of the selected range of stored ICG images is automatically normalized and background-filtering, and a dynamic representation of the ICG perfusion may be generated as a function of time based on the normalized and filtered data. As such, a clinical decision may be made based on the dynamic representation of the ICG perfusion.
