  • Patent number: 12158705
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe methods, devices, and systems for rupture detection and end-of-life monitoring of dynamic gas lock (DGL) membranes and pupil facet mirrors in lithographic apparatuses. A method for detecting rupture of a dynamic gas lock membrane in a lithographic apparatus includes illuminating the dynamic gas lock membrane with a measurement beam using a radiation source, in which the dynamic gas lock membrane is arranged between a wafer and projection optics of the lithography apparatus, and determining whether any radiation from the measurement beam is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane by using reflection collection optics, in which the reflection collection optics are arranged above the dynamic gas lock membrane. A rupture in the dynamic gas lock membrane is detected if no radiation is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane. If radiation is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane, the dynamic gas lock membrane is not ruptured.

  • Publication number: 20240386260
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable media, are described for processing an input image using integrated circuit that implements a convolutional neural network with a group convolution layer. The processing includes determining a mapping of partitions along a channel dimension of an input feature map to multiply accumulate cells (MACs) in a computational unit of the circuit and applying a group convolution to the input feature map. Applying the group convolution includes, for each partition: providing weights for the group convolution layer to a subset of MACs based on the mapping; providing, via an input bus of the circuit, an input of the feature map to each MAC in the subset; and computing, at each MAC in the subset, a product using the input and a weight for the group convolution layer. An output feature map is generated for the group convolution layer based on an accumulation of products.

  • Publication number: 20240323126
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a throttling indicator for a shared resource associated with a modem at the UE. The CE may determine a configuration of the modem based on a configuration received from a Radio Resource Control layer of the UE. Based on the modem configuration and the throttling indicator, the UE may identify a throttling level to apply to the modem. The UE may adjust the modem configuration for communicating with a base station based on the throttling level in order to reduce resource usage below a usage threshold. By reducing usage of the shared resource by the modem, the UE may have a greater availability of the shared resource to meet the needs of other components of the UE. This may provide an improved user experience at the UE, among other benefits.
