  • Patent number: 12164400
    Abstract: An approach is presented herein to use an in-situ algorithmic decision methodology during each stage of testing before 2C/4C to decide how long to test, how much margin should be used for each device under the test (DUT) to shorten or eliminate 2C/4C testing. Each DUT will be tested differently based on the risk level or the likelihood of failure at 2C/4C. To be able to achieve this, low-level hardware (HW) based sensors (on the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), in power module, in silicon components, in silicon component complex, etc.) are used to collect telemetry data with a high frequency data acquisition rate during the testing. As testing is ongoing for each DUT, a margin distribution and algorithm modeling is performed in-situ.

  • Publication number: 20240320691
    Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting counterfeit products by identifying differences between hardware components and orientations of the counterfeit products, and hardware components and orientations of authentic products. In some examples, the hardware components and orientations can be identified by generating hardware intrinsic development data based on telemetry data of products (or “devices”). By way of example, the telemetry data may be analyzed by machine learning (ML) models to generate representative models of the hardware intrinsic development data. In various examples, the representative models can include sample representative models of hardware intrinsic development data generated based on valid telemetry data of authentic devices. In those or other examples, the representative models can include other representative models (or “test representative models”) of hardware intrinsic development data generated based on unvalidated telemetry data of test devices.

  • Patent number: 12038479
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for stress-testing electronics using telemetry modeling. Telemetry data is received from one or more devices under test during a hardware testing phase, the telemetry data including one or more telemetry parameters. The telemetry data is processed using a predictive model to determine future values for the one or more telemetry parameters. Additional hardware testing is performed, wherein the additional hardware testing includes adjusting one or more testing components based on the determined future values.

  • Patent number: 8419845
    Abstract: The present invention provides an air filter including a main body, a pressure fan, a filter mode and a fixing assembly. The main body has a containing room, an entrance hole and an exit hole. The pressure fan is disposed in the containing room. The filter mode includes a first filter layer, a second filter layer and a frame body. The first filter layer is disposed in the entrance hole, and the second filter layer is disposed in the frame body. As such, users can select to use only the first filter layer or both filter layers at one time. Moreover, users only need to let the frame body pivot to a position away from the entrance hole so that users can change the filter layers faster and easier.

  • Publication number: 20120103159
    Abstract: A cutting apparatus of the present invention mainly includes a cylinder, a cutting assembly and a valve assembly. The valve assembly is connected to the cylinder so as to control action of the cylinder. The cutting assembly is connected to the cylinder, so that the cutting assembly can be driven to cutting plates or boards. The valve assembly has a first switch and a second switch. When both of the first switch and the second switch are turned on, the cutting assembly is driven to move for cutting. When one of the first switch and the second switch is turned off, the cutting assembly is driven to return its initial position. As such, the first switch is provided for ordinary operation. The second switch is taken as an emergency switch for particular situation so as to avoid accident.
