Abstract: An illuminator system for semiconductor chip testing has a rotary plate and a first light source and second light source mounted on the rotary plate. A controller is configured to rotate the rotary plate to provide a desired light output. A light output of the illuminator system is aligned to the desired first or second light source. A first semiconductor chip receives illumination from the desired source. The rotary plate is rotated until the desired light source is aligned to the light output. A quality or characteristic of light emitted by the first light source can be measured, and then the first light source can be adjusted, or an alert can be generated, if the quality or characteristic falls outside of a preconfigured range.

Here, the method and system can include receiving a first service order request from a user to purchase a telecommunications related service, allocating one or more service parameters with respect to first service order, and implementing the telecommunications related service for the user with respect to the received first service order request. The method and system can further include verifying the implementation of the telecommunications related service, tracking the allocation, implementation, or verification of the telecommunications related service, and closing the first service order request.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for trading telecommunications related services on a centralized marketplace network. The method includes presenting a first telecommunications related service to a first user, wherein the first telecommunications related service is based on a configuration profile defined by a second user. The method further includes receiving a selection for the first telecommunications related service by the first user, and receiving a purchase order request from the first user with respect to the selected first telecommunications related service. The method may also include receiving input from the first user with respect to customizing or configuring the first telecommunications related service, receiving input from the first user to add the customized or configured first telecommunications related service to the purchase order request, and applying a price modification or reduction to the first telecommunications related service or the purchase order request.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to symmetric encryption that converts plain text to Diophantine equations, i.e. cipher text, and creates a symmetric key which is held by a sender (or encryption apparatus) and a recipient (or decryption apparatus). The key is used by the decryption apparatus to decrypt the Diophantine equations, and convert them to original plain text. Particularly, undecidable encryption and artificial intelligence (AI) are employed in combination. More particularly, the AI would exclude any class of Diophantine equations which has been solved or deciphered without key, or known to be solvable. In the event certain classes of Diophantine equations are solved in the future, the AI will exclude the use of these solved or solvable classes of Diophantine equation in encryption.

Abstract: A method for the use of the white keys of a musical keyboard such as a MIDI keyboard for the playing a selected scale whereby all while keys of the keyboard are remapped to the selected scale such that adjacent keys of the keyboard can be used to play adjacent notes of the selected scale. There is also disclosed a method for providing a functional aspect to at least one black key of a musical keyboard such as a MIDI keyboard, wherein upon a key of the keyboard being pressed, a first check is conducted to determine if a user has activated the selected scale setting; and if the selected scale function has been activated, a second check is conducted to determine if the key is a black key or a white key. If the key is a black key a second lookup table is checked based on a MIDI message for the black key to determine a corresponding functional aspect corresponding to the black key.
