  • Patent number: 11585831
    Abstract: A testing probe structure for wafer level testing semiconductor IC packaged devices under test (DUT). The structure includes a substrate, through substrate vias, a bump array formed on a first surface of the substrate for engaging a probe card, and at least one probing unit on a second surface of the substrate. The probing unit includes a conductive probe pad formed on one surface of the substrate and at least one microbump interconnected to the pad. The pads are electrically coupled to the bump array through the vias. Some embodiments include a plurality of microbumps associated with the pad which are configured to engage a mating array of microbumps on the DUT. In some embodiments, the DUT may be probed by applying test signals from a probe card through the bump and microbump arrays without direct probing of the DUT microbumps.

  • Patent number: 11577301
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multi-functional fastener includes a preparing operation, a forming operation and a threading operation. The preparing operation prepares a metal blank cut from a length of a metal material. The forming operation is executed so that the metal blank forms a shank, a head, and a drilling portion connected to the shank. The threading operation is executed to roll the metal blank with a thread rolling set having two opposite rolling plates. Each rolling plate has slit grooves and convex units arranged in alternation. Each of the convex units has protrusions each situated between two adjacent slit grooves, which allows the threading operation to equip the shank of the metal blank with thread convolutions, slots formed between the thread convolutions for helping quick removal of chips, and main ribs formed between any two adjacent slots for increasing cutting efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11574464
    Abstract: This invention discloses a practical method for landslide detection in large space, which comprises the following steps: image synthesis, ice and snow detection, removal of non-potential landslide area, detection of potential landslide area, feature calculation, landslide detection model construction and precision validation; this invention avoids radiometric correction and outlier by detecting landslide from synthetic image. That guarantees practical applicability of the proposal. Firstly, detecting potential landslides can avoid the imbalanced sample distribution issue between background objects and landslides when training the landslide detection model. The landslide is further detected by building a random forest model based on the spectral features and textural features of potential landslide pixels in different neighboring time domains. It fully considers the changes of objects in different time domains, and lays a foundation for efficient landslide extraction.
