Abstract: In implementations of image-based searches for templates, a computing device implements a search system to generate an embedding vector that represents an input digital image using a machine learning model. The search system identifies templates that include a candidate digital image to be replaced by the input digital image based on distances between embedding vector representations of the templates and the embedding vector that represents the input digital image. A template of the templates is determined based on a distance between an embedding vector representation of the candidate digital image included in the template and the embedding vector that represents the input digital image. The search system generates an output digital image for display in a user interface that depicts the template with the candidate digital image replaced by the input digital image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a system used in a semiconductor device manufacturing process. More specifically, embodiments provided herein generally include apparatus and methods for synchronizing and controlling the delivery of an RF bias signal and a pulsed voltage waveform to one or more electrodes within a plasma processing chamber. The apparatus and methods disclosed herein can be useful to at least minimize or eliminate a microloading effect created while processing small dimension features that have differing densities across various regions of a substrate. The plasma processing methods and apparatus described herein are configured to improve the control of various characteristics of the generated plasma and control an ion energy distribution (IED) of the plasma generated ions that interact with a surface of a substrate during plasma processing.

Abstract: A lid attach process includes dipping a periphery of a lid in a dipping tank of adhesive material such that the adhesive material attaches to the periphery of the lid. The lid attach process further includes positioning the lid over a die attached to a substrate using a lid carrier, wherein the periphery of the lid is aligned with a periphery of the lid carrier. The lid attach process further includes attaching the lid to the substrate with the adhesive material forming an interface with the substrate. The lid attach process further includes contacting a thermal interface material (TIM) on the die with the lid.

Abstract: A TEE system that includes a first platform that runs a first TEE, a second platform that runs a second TEE, and a merging unit that is adapted to merge a first output from the first TEE of the first platform, with a second output from the second TEE of the second platform, so as to form an output of the TEE system. The first TEE and the second TEE are based on different implementations. In this way, the security of the system is improved, as a malicious actor even be able to access “t” machines, still would not be able to retrieve the secret unless there are multiple exploitable TEE vulnerabilities on all executing TEE platforms at the same time.

Abstract: A system and method for sensing the melt level of an ingot and/or molten material within one or more of a melting hearth, a refining hearth, tundish, and/or a casting mold within a furnace system. One or more laser melt height systems is configured and oriented to measure the melt level of one or more furnace system vessels within a closed furnace chamber, and thereby provide control information for regulating an overall melting, refining, casting, and/or atomization process.

Abstract: Method for making polymer particulates, such as spherical powder and whiskers, by melting a polymer material under conditions to avoid thermal degradation of the polymer material, atomizing the melt using gas jet means in a manner to form atomized droplets, and cooling the droplets to form polymer particulates, which are collected for further processing. Atomization parameters can be controlled to produce polymer particulates with controlled particle shape, particle size, and particle size distribution. For example, atomization parameters can be controlled to produce spherical polymer powders, polymer whiskers, and combinations of spherical powders and whiskers. Atomizing apparatus also is provided for atoomizing polymer and metallic materials.

Abstract: A high pressure close-coupled gas atomizing nozzle includes multiple discrete gas jet discharge orifices having aerodynamically designed convergent-divergent geometry with an first converging section communicated to a gas supply manifold and to a diverging section by a constricted throat section to increase atomizing gas velocity. The gas jet orifices are oriented at gas jet apex angle selected relative to the melt supply tip apex angle to establish a melt aspiration condition at the melt supply tip.

Abstract: A method of making hydrogen storage powder resistant to fracture in service involves forming a melt having the appropriate composition for the hydrogen storage material, such, for example, LaNi.sub.5 and other AB.sub.5 type materials and AB.sub.5+x materials, where x is from about -2.5 to about +2.5, including x=0, and the melt is gas atomized under conditions of melt temperature and atomizing gas pressure to form generally spherical powder particles. The hydrogen storage powder exhibits improved chemcial homogeneity as a result of rapid solidfication from the melt and small particle size that is more resistant to microcracking during hydrogen absorption/desorption cycling. A hydrogen storage component, such as an electrode for a battery or electrochemical fuel cell, made from the gas atomized hydrogen storage material is resistant to hydrogen degradation upon hydrogen absorption/desorption that occurs for example, during charging/discharging of a battery.
