Abstract: A method and apparatus that catalogs the characteristics and scheduling of multiple ETL procedures or processes as the multiple ETL procedures extract, transform data from a first database to load the data to a second database. The method and apparatus catalogs the progress and success of execution of multiple ETL procedures. The method and apparatus determines the necessary scheduling for cleansing operations of the first database, then initiates the cleansing operation of the first database, and then catalogs the progress of a cleansing process performed on a database to eliminate inconsistencies, redundancies, and corruptions of the database. The method and apparatus determines any errors in the execution of the ETL procedures and transmits an error message describing the errors to a person.

Abstract: A knowledge asset management system. An engineering data analysis system contains a plurality of objects. A first storage device stores records of users registered in the engineering data analysis system. A second storage device stores records of the operating history of the objects. A processor generates an object table specifying the characteristics of each object, determines the logical connection between the objects according to the operating history of the users and the characteristics of each object, and generates an object relational table accordingly. A knowledge asset database stores the object table and the object relational table containing records of a trigger object and corresponding linking objects.

Abstract: A yield patrolling system, which monitors production yield of a manufacturing line, has at least one product measurement and test device. The product measurement and test device measures yield determining parameters of product at completion of process steps executed by equipment within the manufacturing line. The system further has a test database in communication with the product measurement and test device to receive and retain the measured yield determining parameters. A statistical calculator is in communication with the test database to receive the measured yield determining parameters. The statistical calculator then calculates from the measured yield determining parameters production yield statistics indicating an amount of the product being fabricated on the manufacturing line.

Abstract: A system and method for semiconductor fabrication fault analysis. The storage device stores test records. The program module receives a study lot identity, acquires suspect fabrication issues corresponding to the study lot identity, acquires a number of comparative wafer lot identities processed by the same fabrication tool and fabrication recipe for each fabrication issue, defines the comparative wafer lot identities having the same failed cluster groups as similar failed lot identities, calculates a similarity score for each similar failed lot identity, calculates a causal score according to the similarity scores for each suspect fabrication issue, and arranges the suspect fabrication issues according to causal scores thereof.

Abstract: A battery terminal connector includes a bore formed by a peripheral wall for receiving a terminal of a vehicle battery, and one or more peripheral ribs or a helical rib or one or more ratchet ribs extended inward of the bore of the connector for engaging with the terminal of the battery and for securing the connector onto the terminal of the battery. A fastener may be engaged through the peripheral wall of the connector and engaged with the terminal of the battery, for further solidly securing the connector onto the terminal of the battery.

Abstract: A battery terminal connector is constructed having a mounting part and a wire distribution part integral with the mounting part, the mounting part having two clamping arms adapted for securing to a terminal of a battery by a screw bolt, the clamping arms defining a circular mounting hole and a gap in communication between the circular mounting hole and external space, the circular mounting hole having spiral grooves extended in reversed directions across each other, the wire distribution part having a forwardly extended opening and two wire distribution portions formed integral with the clamping arms and separated by the forwardly extended opening for receiving a respective electric wire.

Abstract: A cable attachment device includes a clamping member for engaging onto the terminal post of the battery and having two ears extended from the ends. A fastener may engaged through the ears for forcing and securing the ears together and for securing the clamping member onto the terminal post of the battery. The clamping member includes one or more flaps or one or more clamping barrels or one or more tubes for electrically coupling to an electric cable. The cables may couple the other electric facilities to the battery with the flaps or the clamping barrels or the tubes.
