Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inspecting a connecting surface of a flip chip to solve problems that the grinding, polishing and chemical etching method is used for making a sample. The present invention utilizes ion beam etching technology for making and processing a sample of the flip chip (FC). The ion beam etching technology includes two modes: keeping the energy of ion beam and increasing the etching time; and keeping the etching time and increasing the ion beam energy. The ion beam etching technology can remove a deforming portion between the solder ball and the metal pad, which is connected thereto because of the grinding and polishing. Specially, it is easy to analyse a sample of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which includes an intermetallic compound formed between the solder ball and the metal pad connected thereto.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for generating educational content in an enterprise learning environment that allows for the reuse of learning objects. In an embodiment, the system includes an educational content generation engine that has access to a SCORM v 1.2 content aggregation and a skill requirements database that match the content structure of the content aggregation. The generation engine is operable to detect changes in either the content aggregation or the skill requirements database, and made changes to either or both of the content aggregation and the skill requirements database to bring them into synchronization, thereby allowing ready reuse of learning objects, without the need for manually regenerating the content aggregation when new learning objects or content structures are introduced.

Abstract: A method of decoding using a log posterior probability ratio L(uk), which is a function of forward variable &agr; (.) and backward variable &bgr; (.). The method comprises dividing the forward variable &agr; (.) and the backward variable &bgr; (.) into, for example, two segments p and q, where p plus q equal the length of the code word U. The forward segments &agr; (.) are parallel calculated, and the backward segments &bgr; (.) are parallel calculated. The ratio L(uk) is calculated using the parallel calculated segments of &agr; (.) and &bgr; (.).

Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a direction of a monitored device when the monitored device is positioned further than a predetermined distance from a monitoring device. The monitoring device receives a locator signal from the monitored device and produces a direction indication that indicates the direction of the received locator signal. If the monitoring device no longer receives the locator signal, the direction indication indicates the direction of the last received locator signal.

Abstract: A digital television (DTV) system includes a remote controller which generates X- and Y-axis position data; and an electronic pro gram guide (EPG) controller which receives position data responsive to the X- and Y-axis position data, which generates character data responsive to the position data, which searches EPG data for character strings approximating the character data to thereby generate search results, and which outputs the search results to the screen of the DTV. According to one aspect of the DTV system, the remote controller generates the X- and Y-axis position data responsive to movement of the remote controller. This movement can be determined by either accelerometers or a gyroscope included in the remote controller. According to another aspect of the invention, the X- and Y-axis position data can be generated by a pointing device, which can be either a touch panel or a trackball.

Abstract: A method for obtaining service information over an Intranet network is provided. The method includes: making a service request by a service user to a local server operatively connected to the Intranet network; searching a first database operatively connected to the local server for the service request, the first database containing a listing of local service providers available on the Intranet network; and under predetermined circumstances, also searching the Internet for the service request. Preferably, the method also includes informing the service user of the results of the searching. The predetermined circumstances under which the Internet is searched is preferably if the searching of the first database provides no matches to the service request.

Abstract: A single video program is divided into multiple segments, with at least one frame from each segment concurrently displayed each within a different display portion of a total display area. The segments may be concurrently played within the different display areas to permit quick location of particular scenes. The number of segments, the length of uniform segments, or the number of segments and their corresponding lengths may be varied by the user. User controls also permit selection or modification of particular segments during concurrent displays.

Abstract: A remote control device includes a motion detection circuit operative to generate signals indicative of a direction of movement of the device. A processor receives the signals from the motion detection circuit and generates corresponding control signals suitable for transmission to a receiver. A user is thereby able to indicate entry of particular commands by moving the remote control device in a certain way. For example, movement of the remote control device in a particular direction in a first plane may correspond to an up command for a first controlled parameter, e.g., receiver volume, while movement of the remote control device in an opposite direction in the first plane corresponds to a down command for the first controlled parameter. Similarly, movement of the remote control in a particular direction in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane may correspond to an up command for a second controlled parameter, e.g.

Abstract: A dual function computer mouse including: a housing; a first sensor for measuring a relative movement of the housing with respect to a surface and outputting a corresponding first signal; a second sensor for measuring the motion of the housing and outputting a corresponding second signal; a processor for converting the first and second signals from the first and second sensors into a corresponding cursor movement; and a switch having a first position for operatively connecting one of the first or second sensors to the processor and a second position for operatively connecting the other of the first or second sensors to the processor. Also provided is a computer having the computer mouse of the present invention.

Abstract: A method for obtaining service information over the Internet. The method including: at least one service provider registering a service and corresponding service status with a server and storing the same in a database; a user requesting a service from the server; searching the database for the requested service; and informing the user of the results of the search. If the requested service is found in the database, the user is informed of the corresponding service status of the requested service. Similarly, if the requested service is not found in the database, the user is informed of the same. If the requested service is not found in the database, or the service status for the requested service is unavailable, the request is stored and the user is informed when the service becomes registered or the service status is changed to available.

Abstract: A system for decrypting transmissions encrypted by a transmission station includes a receiver having a first conditional access module embedded within the receiver, and a second conditional access module that is removable from the receiver. The first conditional access module decrypts a first signal transmitted by the transmission station and the second conditional access module decrypts a second signal transmitted by the transmission station. The first and second signals are encrypted by separate conditional access modules. The transmission station provides the receiver with an entitlement code for allowing the receiver to decrypt the transmission upon verification by the transmission station that the receiver is entitled to decrypt the transmission.
