  • Patent number: 11961770
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a processing tool. The tool includes a housing enclosing a processing chamber, and an input/output port configured to pass a wafer through the housing into and out of the processing chamber. A back-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a back side of the wafer. A front-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a front side of the wafer according to a first image resolution. A front-side micro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image the front side of the wafer according to a second image resolution which is higher than the first image resolution.

  • Publication number: 20220277395
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein establish one or more communication connections between one or more expert user devices and one or more entrepreneur user devices via a network connection. The system may generate a likelihood of success score between the expert user and the entrepreneur user based on characteristics of the expert user, a product or service of the entrepreneur user, or other parameters associated with the entrepreneur user and the expert user. If the likelihood of success score exceeds a threshold value, the system may generate a timeslot reservation between the entrepreneur user and the expert user.

  • Patent number: 9247921
    Abstract: Systems and techniques of treatment monitoring include acquiring channel data from each of a plurality of channels of a signal array over a plurality of frames, determining a reconstruction matrix based on a reconstruction operation to be performed on the channel data, applying the reconstruction matrix to the channel data to obtain reconstructed channel data, estimating displacement data representing displacement of an object over the frames from the reconstructed channel data; determining a conversion matrix based on a conversion operation to be performed on the reconstructed channel data, and applying the conversion matrix to the reconstructed channel data to obtain a displacement map.

  • Publication number: 20150297188
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for estimating acoustic attenuation in a tissue from time-varying radiation force information generated through the application of acoustic energy to the tissue from at least first and second focal depths are provided. An exemplary technique includes acquiring first signals representing oscillatory motion of the tissue in response to the radiation force proximate the first focal depth, and acquiring second signals representing oscillatory motion of the tissue in response to the radiation force proximate the second focal depth. The technique further includes estimating the oscillatory motion of the tissue from each of the first and second signals, and estimating the acoustic attenuation in the tissue from the estimated oscillatory motion of the tissue from the first and second signals.

  • Publication number: 20050152336
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, program product and system for facilitating efficient development and deployment of features in a voice over internet protocol telephony system comprising protocol specific equipment. The method and program product comprise: developing a feature for deployment in the telephony system using a developer protocol, the developer protocol being independent of any specific VoIP protocol, and performing communication protocol conversion between the developer protocol and a specific VoIP protocol used by the telephony system on feature-related messages in order to communicate with the protocol specific equipment.
