Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for precision probe positioning and testing of an integrated circuit. Methods, systems, and a computer program product implement techniques for determining a particular area of interest for precision probe positioning and testing where the particular area of interest comprises an area less than an entire area of the integrated circuit. Once the particular area of interest for testing has been determined, then a laser probe is steered or otherwise directed to illuminate a plurality of pixels within the area of interest so as to generate reflected signals corresponding to the illuminated pixels. Techniques are provided for measuring the reflected signals to determine information about the IC within the area of interest. CAD data or user data can be used to determine XY addressable pixel locations within the area of interest.

Abstract: An LED light engine includes a housing, one or more LEDs mounted on a printed circuit board and a retention feature engaged with the housing. The retention feature includes one or more of a torsion spring and a friction clip and is configured to engage an inside wall of a recessed lighting can, thereby retaining the LED light engine within the can. The LED light engine may also include a reflector and a lens retained within the housing, with the housing, reflector and lens forming a sealed chamber for protecting the LED components from external environmental conditions. Methods for retrofitting an existing recessed downlight fixture with an LED light engine include removing the existing light engine from the recessed lighting can and inserting an LED light engine into the can.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for integrated circuit wafer and die testing. The method commences by selecting areas of interest accessible from a backside of an integrated circuit where the areas of interest correspond to electronic devices (e.g., gates or transistors or vias or pads). Then, using a small-beam light source such as a laser, illuminating the areas of interest and collecting the reflected signal returned from illuminated areas of interest. A processor analyses the reflected signal to determine logic states and timing information of the electronic devices and compares the determined logic states and timing information to a pre-determined logic pattern to identify one or more errors as observed from the actual electronic devices. Specific points within an area of interest are determined from CAD layout data, and the pre-determined logic patterns can be retrieved from CAD simulation data.

Abstract: A single board light engine includes an AC to AC step driver that selectively powers multiple LED segments by controlling tap points between the LED segments as the input voltage goes from zero crossover to maximum voltage and returns to zero crossover. The step driver may power a first LED segment, a second LED segment, both the first and second LED segments, or none of the LED segments depending upon the input voltage level. The LEDs within an LED segment may share a characteristic that differs from a characteristic shared by LEDs in another segment, which allows the LED fixture to provide a variety of lighting effects.

Abstract: The present invention generally concerns a method for creating an insight report to recruit for a job opening. More specifically, the method includes an organization administering a two part survey to their employees. Questions from Part A are a pretext to measure the use of employee Attributes at their current job against a comparable job held with a previous employer, where these Attributes are recognized and valued by an organization. In Part B the respondent is given the opportunity to see the Attributes culled from Part A and detail how the organization values these Attributes and how they're allowed to manifest them. The survey answers are used to create an insight report that gives an organization deeper understanding of job distinctions at work group levels. The insight report is also used to craft job advertisements that reflect organizational Attributes having the greatest distinctions.
