  • Patent number: 12260541
    Abstract: A soldering quality inspection method and a soldering quality inspection apparatus are provided. The soldering quality inspection method includes: acquiring an inspection image; calculating, by a processing device, a dyed area percentage of an area of a part of a soldering region in the inspection image that is dyed by a dye ink relative to an area of the soldering region, and determining whether the dyed area percentage is greater than a predetermined dyed percentage. When the dyed area percentage is determined to be equal to or less than the predetermined dyed percentage, a position under inspection is determined to be of good soldering quality, and a corresponding inspection result information is generated. When the dyed area percentage is determined to be greater than the predetermined dyed percentage, the position under inspection is determined to be of poor soldering quality, and the corresponding inspection result information is generated.

  • Publication number: 20250079414
    Abstract: An electronic package module and a method for fabrication of the same are provided. The method includes providing an electronic component assembly and a circuit substrate. The electronic component assembly includes two electronic components and a conductive structure. The electronic components are connected to each other through a conductive adhesive material, while the electronic components are connected to the conductive structure through another conductive adhesive material. A soldering material is formed on the circuit substrate, and the electronic component assembly is disposed on the soldering material. The melting points of the conductive adhesive materials are higher than the melting point of the soldering material. As a result, the conductive adhesive materials are prevented from failure during the soldering process, and thus the process yield is improved.

  • Publication number: 20070157132
    Abstract: A process of automatically translating a high level programming language into a hardware description language (HDL), which can use a three-stage translation mechanism to generate the HDL codes corresponding to the functions described by the high level programming language. The first stage translates source codes coded by the high level programming language into an extended activity diagram (EAD). The second stage translates the EAD into a hardware component graph (HCG). The third stage generates the respective signal connections of HDL components according to all edges of the HCG, and outputs an HDL entity and architecture to a file in a string form, thereby completing the entire translation.
