  • Patent number: 10948903
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a two-phase process for searching root causes of a yield loss in a production line. In a first phase, an interaction between two process tools, that between two parameters, or that between one process tool and one parameter that is likely to cause the yield loss is identified. In a second phase, a threshold of the parameter that is likely to cause the yield loss and is obtained from the first phase is identified. In each phase, two different algorithms can be used to generate a reliance index (RII) for gauging the reliance levels of their search results.

  • Publication number: 20210074147
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses PRLR binding proteins. Specifically, the invention relates to antibodies that are chimeric, CDR grafted and humanized antibodies. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hPRLR and neutralize hPRLR activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Methods of making and methods of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hPRLR and for inhibiting hPRLR activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hPRLR activity is detrimental. Also included in the invention are anti-PRLR antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).

    Abstract: A startup circuit initializes a voltage of a capacitor of a switch-capacitor regulator. The startup circuit includes a voltage forming circuit and a control unit. The voltage forming circuit selectively electrically connected to the top and the bottom of the capacitor. In a first operation phase, the voltage forming circuit is electrically connected to the top and bottom of the capacitor, and the top and bottom of the capacitor are connected to each other, and the voltages of the top and bottom are set as a preset high voltage. In a second operation phase, the voltage forming circuit disconnects the top and the bottom, and generates current flowing out from the bottom of the capacitor until the voltage cross the capacitor is equal to the preset initial voltage. In the third operation phase, the startup circuit is disconnected from the capacitor.
