  • Patent number: 12267596
    Abstract: A camera system that captures an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image with an improved burst duration time and faster frame rate. The camera system determines a set of different exposure settings for creation of an HDR image. The camera system provides the set of exposure settings to the camera sensor in a series of sequential timing windows. A sensor of the camera system outputs a plurality of stale frames in sequential timing windows for receiving the set of different exposure settings. The plurality of stale frames are followed by a set of image frames in sequential timing windows, with each image captured at a different exposure setting of the set of different exposure settings. The camera system may generate a HDR image using the captured sequence of images.

  • Patent number: 5961026
    Abstract: Apparatus and method is provided for separating electrical connections, such as, solder connections, between two surfaces in which electrical connections are relatively weak and thus can be readily separated. The preferred application of the disclosed process and apparatus is its use in separating semiconductor devices from its device carrier after the devices have been through burn-in tests. The unique process and apparatus allows multiple uses of device carrier for testing and/or burning-in devices.
