Abstract: Techniques for pharmacovigilence adverse-event processing include receiving data comprising medical narrative text and generating, based on the received data, using a recurrent neural network encoder, a fixed-length context vector representation of the medical narrative text. The fixed-length context vector representation may then be queried, using a recurrent neural network decoder, to generate one or more hidden states. A first set of the one or more hidden states may be processed to generate an assessment of seriousness represented by the medical narrative text, and a second set of the one or more hidden states may be processed to generate a plurality of respective assessments of whether respective individual words of the medical narrative text correspond to one or more adverse events.

Abstract: A wafer transfer assembly and method of using the assembly to transfer device wafers between processing tools in a manufacturing process are described herein. The assembly comprises a wafer transfer disk, an end effector configured to receive and support the wafer transfer disk, and an elongated handle extending from the end effector. The wafer transfer disk comprises a wafer-engaging surface configured to support a debonded device wafer placed on the wafer transfer assembly with the device surface adjacent the wafer-engaging surface. The wafer-engaging surface has non-stick properties, and yields a low bonding strength interface between the wafer-engaging surface and device surface. The resulting transfer stack can be transported to other processing tools for additional processing of the debonded device wafer, followed by separating the debonded device wafer and the wafer transfer disk without damaging the device wafer.
