Abstract: A method includes receiving a data unit, determining whether a current state, associated with a deterministic finite automata (DFA) that includes a portion of states in a bitmap and a remaining portion of states in a DFA table, is a bitmap state or not, and determining whether a value corresponding to the data unit is greater than a threshold value, when it is determined that the current state is not a bitmap state. The method further includes determining whether the current state is insensitive, when it is determined that the value corresponding to the data unit is greater than the threshold value, where insensitive means that each next state is a same state for the current state, and selecting a default state, as a next state for the current, when it is determined that the current state is insensitive.

Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing execution system (MES) is disclosed, including a memory module, a comparing module, and an outputting module. The memory module stores a basic database and a recipe distribution management (RDM) database. The basic database includes multiple basic records, and the RDM database includes multiple RDM records. The comparing module compares operation data, received from a manufacturing machine, to each of the RDM records, and secondarily to each of the basic records, to determine whether the operation data matches at least one of the RDM and basic records. The outputting module outputs a limiting signal to the manufacturing machine if the operation data matches at least one of the RDM records. The limiting signal prevents the manufacturing machine from executing a process corresponding to the operation data.

Abstract: A receiver locates command data from the compressed video sequence. A detector detects a change in the command data to indicate motion. The detector detects change in the quantization factor to indicate motion according to an embodiment. The receiver locates the command data from the compressed video sequence by obtaining synchronization information to locate known position in the video sequence and by parsing until finding the desired command data field according to an embodiment. This command data located by the receiver indicates the quantization factor of the compressed video sequence. Both the receiver and the detector can operate in real time on the compressed video sequence.
