A defect class is characterized for the DUT from a plurality of defect classes based on a difference between the first and second results.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for constructing an electrochemical process manifold (EPM) for a battery cell during a formation process. The current through the cell is controllably adjusted to charge or discharge the cell. The temperature and/or pressure may be controllably adjusted along with the current. At each of a plurality of time steps as the current is controllably adjusted, the voltage across the cell is measured and integrated over time to obtain a voltage-hours value for each time step. A data point is stored in memory for each time step that includes the measured voltage, the voltage-hours value, and the current through the cell at the respective time step. The data points for each time step are mapped onto an EPM, and the EPM is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium.

Abstract: A global filter allows data filtering using attributes across multiple Analysis Tools (ATs), by broadcasting semantic filter context objects. Upon selecting object attribute values, the filter context object is created with attribute names and values. A processing engine resolves the filter context object to a data object, and then subsequently to target data. A lateral filter finds related entities in a relational database, without having to maintain and/or duplicate all of the data into a graph database. The processing engine resolves lateral filters using an entity graph path calculation conducted in conjunction with the generation of a bootstrapped graph structure. That graph structure is constructed (bootstrapped) utilizing available database schematic information—e.g., pre-calculated (key) relations and metadata read from the relational database. From that information, relationships in the bootstrapped graph structure are determined.

Abstract: A data container for a content package comprising one or more semantics for populating the content package with selected types of information associated with a product or service is received by a computing device of a digital services framework. An organizational structure between and within networked tenants of the digital services framework is analyzed to identify one or more recipients for the content package. A data topology associated with the product or service is analyzed to generate announcements indicative of individualized content packages for the identified recipients for the content package. The announcements are sent to the identified recipients. Requests are received for subscriptions to the content package. Based on the analysis of the organizational structure and data topology and user-defined rules and semantics, instances of the container are selectively populating for tenants who have subscribed to the content package.
