Abstract: A method of managing warnings in an aircraft, includes: receiving information signals associated with a malfunction or with conditions requiring the pilot to be informed; preparing warning instructions as a function of the context and forwarding the warning instructions to visual and/or audible indicator elements; allocating a visual and/or audible warning to each of the warning instructions; and using visual indicator elements to display the visual warnings and using audible indicator elements to emit the audible warnings.

Abstract: A method and system is provided to use the same design manipulation processes for both chip design and kerf design. Concurrent generation of kerf designs and chip designs provides a consistent, accurate, and repeatable process. Improved quality of wafer testing results because the data in the kerf matches data in the chip. The total cycle time for mask manufacturing is reduced because kerf build is accomplished prior to start of the mask manufacturing process. Also provided is the use of load balancing across multiple servers during kerf and chip design to optimize computing resources.

Abstract: A diagnostic system and method for testing an integrated circuit (IC) during fabrication thereof, wherein the diagnostic system comprises at least one IC chip comprising an electrical signature; a sacrificial circuit adjacent to the IC chip and comprising a known electrical signature and intentionally mis-designed circuitry; and a comparator adapted to compare the electrical signature of the IC chip with the known electrical signature of the sacrificial circuit, wherein a match in the electrical signature of the IC chip with the known electrical signature of the sacrificial circuit indicates that the IC chip is mis-designed. The diagnostic system further comprises a semiconductor wafer comprising a plurality of IC chips and a kerf area separating one IC chip from another IC chip. The sacrificial circuit is located in the kerf area or alternatively on each of the plurality of IC chips. A mis-designed IC chip comprises abnormally functioning circuitry.

Abstract: A spent anode is replaced with a new anode in an electrolysis cell having an anode bus bar and an anode rod contacting the bus bar. A desired distance (D4) from the bus bar to a reference point on or adjacent to an anode rod for the new anode is calculated, the spent anode is replaced with a new anode so that the reference point on the new anode rod is spaced from the bus bar by an actual distance (D5), and the actual distance (D5) is measured at least once by means of a vision system. The actual distance (D5) is preferably adjusted using a feedback control loop in a computer so that D5 approaches the desired distance (D4).

Abstract: A method, system and program product for generating a process aid on a wafer are disclosed. A “process aid” can be any device provided on a wafer that assists in some process step, but does not ultimately make up part of a usable die. The invention implements libraries of technology design rules, and process aid parameters, and a process aid instruction file library to allow automatic generation of a process aid according to the technology design rules and parameters. As a result, all the inputs required to build a process aid are available up front, which allows the invention to automatically adjust kerf designs to conform to the new technologies. In addition, the invention provides documentation indicating the inputs and details of the process aid produced.
