Patent number: 9958494Abstract: For improving wafer fabrication, yield and lifetime of wafers are predicted by determining coefficients of a yield domain for wafer yield prediction and a lifetime domain for a wafer lifetime prediction, an integral domain, an electric/layout domain, a metrology/defect domain, and a machine sensor domain in a hierarchical manner. With the aid of the hierarchically-determined coefficients, noises in prediction can be reduced so that precision of prediction results of the yields or the lifetimes of wafers can be raised.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Hsin-Ming Hou, Ji-Fu Kung

Patent number: 9936728Abstract: A method and device for forming a cigarette filter rod. The method is as follows: in a process of continuously conveying forward cigarette filter materials that tend to converge to have a rod shape, multiple granular additives are continuously output in accordance with a certain time interval, and are sprayed into the cigarette filter materials that converge forwards under the action of continuous transporting flows, so that after the cigarette filter materials converge to form a continuous filter rod, multiple groups of additive unit combinations formed of different granular additive units are embedded in an axial direction of the filter rod.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2012Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignees: SHANGHAI TABACCO GROUP CO., LTD., SHANGHAI PUFFMAN AUTOMATION & INSTRUMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Xu Wang, Ming Hou, Yigang Tong, Yong Si

Publication number: 20160308685Abstract: Telephonic and other endpoints often make presence information of other users available on the endpoint. Systems whereby every user sends a notification to every other user quickly becomes resource intensive. Providing presence information only to users subscribed to the presence of other users helps; but, maintaining such subscriptions is often overlooked. Providing automatic subscriptions based upon a triggering event allows presence information to be provided to associated users. The presence information may be time limited to allow for an appropriate amount of presence information to be provided for a duration most likely determined to be relevant. Upon expiration of the subscription, the utilized resources are released without requiring any human intervention.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2015Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Milos Pujic, Geoff Baskwill, Ming Hou, Joshua Bertoulin
