  • Publication number: 20240144467
    Abstract: A hot spot defect detecting method and a hot spot defect detecting system are provided. In the method, hot spots are extracted from a design of a semiconductor product to define a hot spot map comprising hot spot groups, wherein local patterns in a same context of the design yielding a same image content are defined as a same hot spot group. During runtime, defect images obtained by an inspection tool performing hot scans on a wafer manufactured with the design are acquired and the hot spot map is aligned to each defect image to locate the hot spot groups. The hot spot defects in each defect image are detected by dynamically mapping the hot spot groups located in each defect image to a plurality of threshold regions and respectively performing automatic thresholding on pixel values of the hot spots of each hot spot group in the corresponding threshold region.

  • Publication number: 20240146205
    Abstract: A flyback power converter includes a power transformer, a first lossless voltage conversion circuit, a first low-dropout linear regulator and a secondary side power supply circuit. The first low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) generates a first operation voltage as power supply for being supplied to a sub-operation circuit. The secondary side power supply circuit includes a second lossless voltage conversion circuit and a second LDO. The second LDO generates a second operation voltage. The first operation voltage and the second operation voltage are shunted to a common node. When a first lossless conversion voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage, the second LDO is enabled to generate the second operation voltage to replace the first operation voltage as power supply supplied to the sub-operation circuit; wherein the second lossless conversion voltage is lower than the first lossless switching voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240129213
    Abstract: A link down detector and a link down detecting method for Ethernet are provided. The link down detecting method includes the following steps. Firstly, a received signal is received, and a high-frequency band signal is extracted from the received signal. Consequently, the high-frequency band signal is formed as an extraction signal. Then, a high-frequency band power value of the extraction signal is calculated, and a full band power value of the received signal is calculated. Then, a ratio value of the high-frequency band power value to the full band power value is calculated. In a link up status, if the ratio value is changed dramatically in a specified time, a link down signal is asserted to indicate that a network device connected to the Ethernet is switched to a link down status.

  • Patent number: 11938272
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a respiratory mask to connect a user and a breathing tube for receiving a first gas and releasing a second gas, so as to provide an user's respiratory system to exchange gas. It comprises a main part, an air chamber exchange part, an insert and a clamping part. The main part provides a first, second, and third openings that are communicated each other. The first opening connects to the breathing tube to receive the first gas from the breathing tube. The air chamber exchange part provides an exhaust assembly to relieve pressure according to an internal air pressure of the air chamber exchange part. The insert connects to the user's nose so as to direct the first gas to the user or direct the second gas from the user to the air chamber exchange part. The clamping part connects to the user's mouth.
