Publication number: 20240145504Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a plurality of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) pixels. The semiconductor device may be a backside device having a substrate at the backside, dielectric layers on the substrate, metal layers interleaved with the dielectric layers, and a through silicon via (TSV) formed in the backside through the substrate and the dielectric layers. TSV seal rings may be formed around the TSV to protect the semiconductor device from moisture and/or water ingress. The TSV seal rings may be coupled to a high-voltage cathode bond pad and be coupled to offset portions of one of the metal layers to reduce leakage and/or parasitic effects due to the voltage difference between the cathode and the substrate. The TSV seal rings may also be merged with die seal rings at the edge of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Peter GAMBINO, Rick Carlton JEROME, David T. PRICE, Michael Gerard KEYES, Anne DEIGNAN

Publication number: 20240126237Abstract: A storage device self-heating system includes a storage device having a processing system, a storage subsystem, and at least one heat transfer subsystem coupled between the processing system and the storage subsystem. The storage device determines that a temperature of the storage subsystem is below a temperature threshold and, in response, uses the processing system to perform a plurality of computations that are configured to generate an amount of heat that, when transferred via the heat transfer subsystem(s), raises the temperature of the storage subsystem. The heat transfer subsystem(s) transfer heat generated via the performance of the plurality of computations to the storage subsystem, and when the storage device determines that the temperature of the storage subsystem is above the temperature threshold, it performs at least one storage operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey James DeMoss, Ricardo V.

Publication number: 20240091708Abstract: Wastewater is treated though primary treatment of the water by way of a micro-sieve to produce a primary effluent and primary sludge. There is secondary treatment of the primary effluent by way of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) or an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) reactor to produce a secondary effluent and a waste activated sludge. The micro-sieve may have openings of 250 microns or less, for example about 150 microns. In a process, a gas transfer membrane is immersed in water. Pressurized air flows into the gas transfer membrane. An exhaust gas is withdrawn from the gas transfer membrane and used to produce bubbles from an aerator immersed in the water.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Pierre Lucien COTE, Steven Kristian PEDERSEN, Wajahat Hussain SYED, Jeffrey Gerard PEETERS, Nicholas William H.

Patent number: 11818981Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises determining, in received yield data, one or more passes, each pass including a plurality of observations. For each pass of the one or more passes, one or more discrete derivatives are determined, and based on the one or more discrete derivatives first outlier data is generated. First filtered data is generated by removing the first outlier data from the yield data. Furthermore, for each observation in the yield data, a plurality of nearest neighbor observations is determined, and used to determine a plurality of absolute differences in yield values. Based on the plurality of absolute differences, second outlier data is determined. Second filtered data is generated by removing the second outlier data from the first filtered data. Using a presentation layer of a computer system, a graphical representation of the second filtered data is generated and displayed on the computing system.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Yiqun Li, Jeffrey Gerard
