  • Publication number: 20240136217
    Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a substrate disposed on a conveyer system. The conveyer system includes a pair of side supports. The substrate is moved on the conveyer system until the substrate is disposed over a bottom support block. The bottom support block is raised to physically contact the substrate. A transfer arm module is provided. The transfer arm module includes a flat bottom surface and an opening formed in the flat bottom surface. The transfer arm module is disposed with the flat bottom surface physically contacting the substrate opposite the bottom support block. A vacuum is enabled through the opening of the transfer arm module. The substrate is lifted off the bottom support block using the vacuum. The substrate is moved over a printing pallet using the transfer arm module. The vacuum is disabled when the substrate is in a positioning area of the printing pallet.

  • Publication number: 20220268837
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a multiplexer circuit coupled to receive a first clock signal and a second clock signal and coupled to provide an output clock signal to a channel. A protection circuit is coupled to receive a feedback signal from the channel. The protection circuit causes the multiplexer circuit to provide oscillations in the second clock signal to the output clock signal in response to the feedback signal indicating that the channel is idle to cause the channel to be in a protection mode that reduces degradation from bias temperature instability. The protection circuit causes the multiplexer circuit to provide oscillations in the first clock signal to the output clock signal in response to the feedback signal indicating that the channel is active.

  • Publication number: 20190388057
    Abstract: Described is a method for providing positioning suggestions to the user of a physiological sensor and a kit for configuring an ultrasound system to provide positioning suggestions. The method includes steps of receiving an ultrasound image from an ultrasound probe, processing the ultrasound image to identify a set of features, determining from the set of features whether the ultrasound probe is correctly aligned, and determining an action suggestion to be given to a user of the ultrasound probe to improve its alignment. The kit includes a display monitor and a real-time video processor for interfacing with the ultrasound system to receive an ultrasound image from an ultrasound probe, process the ultrasound image to determine a set of positioning information, produce a set of positioning suggestion information for adjusting the positioning of the ultrasound probe, and transmit the set of positioning suggestion information to the display monitor for display.

  • Patent number: 8787207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for determining devices connected to a private network through a gateway. A Network Management System (NMS) through the use of inquiries and Port Address Translation (PAT) commands is able to determine the topology of the network of devices within a private network and thus communicate with them. This is achieved through the use of Port Address Translation (PAT) initiated by the NMS to set a port for each device connected to the gateway.
