Abstract: A yield evaluating apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The yield evaluating apparatus includes a spatial correlation module. The spatial correlation module receives at least one process-related data and a plurality of circuit layouts and obtains a correlation coefficient between unit elements in the circuit layouts according to the process-related data. The spatial correlation module calculates a spatial correlation between elements in each of the circuit layouts according to the correlation coefficient and selects one of the circuit layouts according to the spatial correlations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing detection mechanism for detecting sealing of a closure fastened to a container having a top open end. The sealing detection mechanism includes a RFID tag mounted at a selected position of the closure, at least one operable tear portion formed at the closure, and at least one conductive unit electrically connected to the RFID tag and extended from the RFID tag to the closure to form a conductive circuit loop across the operable tear portion of the closure. A sealing guarantee device mounted is selectively mounted between the top open end of the container and the closure, which includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a middle portion connected between the upper portion and the lower portion. The lower portion of the sealing guarantee device is provided with an annular flange protruding downward from the lower portion and a hollow portion between the lower portion and the flange.

Abstract: A learning device using RFID tags is provided. The learning device includes a platform and at least one RFID tag unit. The tag unit includes at least one RFID tag with an identification code and a magnet at the inner space of the RFID tag unit. When the RFID tag unit is placed at an interrogation zone of the platform, the magnet actuates the magnet-induced switch to turn on and drives the power supply device to provide power. The signal S1 from the RFID tag is transmitted though the RFID reader for decoding and the processing unit for processing. The signal is sent to an audio/video output device for displaying and broadcasting. A plurality of platforms are formed a platform array, each of the platform including at least one receiver and at least one transmitter correspondent to the receiver, the transmitter transmitting a signal which represents the position of the transmitter, while the receiver receiving signals from the transmitter to recognize the relative positions of the platforms.

Abstract: A switch detection device using RFID tags is disclosed. The switch detection device includes a RFID tag, a conducting circuit loop and a switch connected to the conducting circuit loop to form a control circuit. The switch is controlled to turn on or off, leading to the closing or opening of the control circuit. The RFID tag detects the state of the conducting circuit loop and transmits a signal representing the opened/closed state to a RFID reader. The switch detection device is incorporated to a turning operation mechanism which includes a lever lock assembly, a deadbolt lock assembly, a window sash lock assembly, an odometer wheel, a hinge provided with a first hinge member and a second hinge member interconnected by a central axle, a door closer, a water faucet, a rotatable switch, or a rotatable lock.

Abstract: Disclosed is a substrate damage detection mechanism using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag including a substrate, at least one RFID tag with a RFID chip, a RFID transmitter and at least one data input/output port and at least one conducting circuit loop arranged to cover the substrate and provided with a first end that is electrically connected to a reference voltage and a second end that is electrically connected to the data input/output port of the RFID tag. The RFID chip generates a conductive code when the conducting circuit loop is originally conducting and generates a open-circuit code when the conducting circuit loop becomes open circuit resulting from the damage of the substrate in which both the conductive code and the open-circuit code are transmitted by the RFID transmitter and received by a RFID reader to determine the damage of the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a scan test data compression method and decoding apparatus for multiple-scan-chain designs. The apparatus comprises a on-chip decoder connected to a tester. The decoder includes a decoding buffer configured as a multilayer architecture, a controller, and a switching box for receiving a shift signal or a copy signal. The decoding buffer is used to store decoded test data. While the decoder decodes the encoded data, it transmits control signals to both the decoding buffer and the switching box from the controller, and sends the decoded data to scan chains of a CUT for testing through the decoding buffer. This invention has the advantages of simple encoding method, high compression rate, low power consumption in testing, and without the fault coverage loss.
