Patent number: 11945004Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system has a multi-station cleaning and inspection system. Within semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system, a tray cleaning station uses a first rotating brush passing over a first surface of a carrier and possibly semiconductor die, and a second rotating brush passing over a second surface of the carrier and semiconductor die opposite the first surface of the carrier and semiconductor die. Debris and contaminants dislodged from the first surface and second surface of the carrier by the first rotating brush and second rotating brush are removed under vacuum suction. A conveyor transports the carrier through the multi-station cleaning and inspection system. The first rotating brush and second rotating brush move in tandem across the first surface and second surface of the carrier. Air pressure is injected across the first rotating brush and second rotating brush to further remove debris and contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: UTAC Headquarters Pte.

Patent number: 11837025Abstract: Broadly speaking, the present techniques relate to a method and apparatus for performing action recognition, and in particular to a computer-implemented method for performing action recognition on resource-constrained or lightweight devices such as smartphones. The ML model may be adjusted to achieve required accuracy and efficiency levels, while also taking into account the computational capability of the apparatus that is being used to implement the ML model. One way is to adjust the number of channels assigned to the first set of channels, i.e. the full temporal resolution channels. Another way is to adjust the point in the ML model where the temporal pooling layer or layers are applied.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Brais Martinez, Tao Xiang, Victor Augusto Escorcia, Juan Perez-Rua, Xiatian Zhu, Antoine Toisoul

Patent number: 9340722Abstract: Water-based drilling mud lubricants using a blend of fatty acid polyamine salts and fatty acid esters give synergistically better lubricity results than either component used separately. For example, the blends with different ratios of fatty acid diethylenetriamine salt and fatty acid methyl ester demonstrate much better lubricity in water-based drilling fluids than those where only fatty acid diethylene-triamine salt or fatty acid methyl ester are separately used. The amines in fatty acid amine salt might also include other polyamines, such as butanediamine pentamethylenediamine, spermidine, spermine, propylene diamine and propylene polyamines. The fatty acid esters might also include fatty acid ethyl ester, fatty acid glycerol ester and fatty acid trimethylolpropane ester.
