  • Patent number: 12299428
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a container image associated with a target framework, a built distribution including a feature conversion class and a set of transform classes, and a configuration package. The method also includes executing the executables in a sequence indicated by the configuration package in a container based on the container image and generating an intermediate data structure by providing values of a source data framework to a feature conversion object constructed from the feature conversion class. The method also includes obtaining an identifier of a feature synthesis operation indicating the set of transform classes and, in response to obtaining the identifier of the feature synthesis operation, generating a transform output by providing a set of values of the intermediate data structure to a set of transform objects constructed from the set of transform classes.

  • Publication number: 20230253235
    Abstract: A wafer carrier that exhibits a thin, low-profile includes a bottom support plate upon which a thinned semiconductor wafer may be positioned, with a holding ring disposed to surround the periphery of the wafer and engage with the bottom support plate to hold the wafer in a fixed position between the two components. The bottom support plate is formed to include a plurality of apertures for pulling a vacuum through the carrier, as well as features that engage with the holding ring and alignment fiducials for properly registering the orientation of the wafer's surface with respect to the wafer carrier and other testing equipment using the wafer carrier.

  • Publication number: 20210208193
    Abstract: A wafer handling fixture is used to transport a finished semiconductor wafer from one post-fabrication procedure to another (e.g., testing, inspection, cleaning, dicing, or shipping) in a manner that maintains the wafer in its “flattened” form and eliminates the possibility for a wafer to later spring back into a bowed form. The wafer handling fixture includes a surface stiction film to which the wafer will naturally adhere, and uses a wafer release mechanism included in a bottom support plate to permit for the “controlled” transfer of the wafer from the handling fixture to testing/inspection equipment.

  • Patent number: 10586082
    Abstract: Advanced micro-location of RFID tags in 3D and 2D spatial environments includes a mobile platform having a known location within a three-dimensional (3D) space. A plurality of RFID tags is located within the 3D space. A plurality of RFID antennas is mounted on the mobile platform, wherein backscatter signals of at least one of the RFID tags are collected by at least one of the plurality of RFID antennas and time-synchronized with the known location of the mobile platform in the 3D space at a time of collection. A computerized processing device is in communication with the plurality of RFID antennas. The computerized processing device performs algorithmic RFID tag localization using at least the collected backscatter signals of the at least one RFID tag and the time-synchronized known location of the mobile platform to determine a micro-location of the at least one RFID tag within the 3D space.
