Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a dye and pry process for removing quad flat no-lead (QFN) packages and bottom termination components (BTC) from card assemblies. Aspects of the invention include immersing a semiconductor package assembly in a solution comprising dye and placing the immersed semiconductor package assembly under vacuum pressure. Vacuum conditions ensure that the dye solution is pulled into any cracks in the solder formed between the semiconductor package assembly and the QFN package or BTC. The package assembly is dried and a hole is drilled to expose a bottom surface of the QFN package or BTC. The QFN package or BTC is then removed by applying a force to the exposed bottom surface. The semiconductor package assembly can then be inspected for the dye to locate cracks.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a system for digital authentication, the system including a server and a device. The device includes a first processor and a second processor separate and distinct from the first processor and dedicated solely to security functionality. The second processor is programmed to generate a public key and a private key, and to use the private key and to-be-signed signature data to generate digital signatures, including a first digital signature. The device transmits the public key and the first digital signature to the server. The server stores the public key to uniquely identify the device or a user of the device in subsequent communications between the server and device.

Abstract: A method for increasing a detection distance of a surface of an object illuminated by near-IR electromagnetic radiation, including: (a) directing near-IR electromagnetic radiation from a near-IR electromagnetic radiation source towards an object at least partially coated with a near-IR reflective coating that increases a near-IR electromagnetic radiation detection distance by at least 15% as measured at a wavelength in a near-IR range as compared to the same object coated with a color matched coating which absorbs more of the same near-IR radiation, where the color matched coating has a ?E color matched value of 1.5 or less when compared to the near-IR reflective coating; and (b) detecting reflected near-IR electromagnetic radiation reflected from the near-IR reflective coating. A system for detecting proximity of vehicles is also disclosed.

Abstract: Organotin clusters are described with the formula R3Sn3(O2CR?)5-x(OH)2+x(?3-O) with 0?x<2; R=branched or cycloalkyl with 1 to 31 carbon atoms; R??H or alkyl with 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Three carboxylato ligands are bridging, and two OH ligands are bridging. The remaining two carboxylato ligands are in non-bridging configurations, and the non-bridging carboxylato ligands are exchangeable in solution. Solutions of these clusters are suitable for forming radiation sensitive coatings that can be used to pattern nanometer scale structures. The radiation sensitive coatings are particularly suitable for EUV patterning.
