  • Patent number: 12004307
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to short and/or near short etch rework. A microfluidic device is positioned on a portion of a circuit having a defect. The microfluidic device is caused to dispense etchant that removes the defect of the circuit, where a flow of the etchant is controlled to access the portion of the circuit having the defect to thereby etch away the defect, the flow of the etchant being obstructed from accessing other portions of the circuit. The microfluidic device is used to extract the etchant from the portion of the circuit such that the etchant avoids contact with the other portions of the circuit. The microfluidic device is removed from the circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240142312
    Abstract: Described are techniques for quality analysis using thermographic imaging. In one example, a system including a test chamber for receiving an unpowered component. The system further includes an external heat source for heating the unpowered component for a predetermined period of time. The system further includes a thermographic imaging system for collecting thermographic images of the unpowered component during the predetermined period of time. The system further includes a computer communicatively coupled to the thermographic imaging system and configured to classify a quality of the unpowered component based on the thermographic images of the unpowered component.

  • Publication number: 20230134349
    Abstract: A system and a method for a hardware security module having enhanced security features is disclosed. The hardware security module includes a card configured to be plugged into a computer system and at least one cryptographic chip disposed on the card. A security cover is placed over and encloses the cryptographic chip. The security cover has a first half and a second half. The first half of the security cover is located on the first side of the card, and the second half of the security cover is located on a second side of the card. To enhance the security a flex cable that has at least one sensor or circuitry configured to detect tampering with the hardware security module is embedded within the material of the security cover.

  • Patent number: 9725903
    Abstract: An insulating system for retrofitting the roof and/or walls of a building. The retrofit system includes a first layer of insulating material extending transverse to the purlins, girts and chords and atop the existing roof or wall structure as well as a plurality of longitudinally extending bridge members each with an upper and a lower surface. The system also includes a plurality of orthogonally extending spacer members that compresses the first layer of insulating material proximate to the spacer members and allowing an otherwise uncompressed first insulation layer to span between the spacer members. The system further includes a second layer of insulation extending across the upper surface of the bridge members wherein a plurality of panel clips each with a panel clip tab are disposed atop the second layer of insulation and are fastened to the bridge member and the clip tabs engage with the lateral edges of the roof or wall panels in the formation of a water resistant seam.

  • Patent number: 9580909
    Abstract: A system for insulating a building comprising a first layer of rolled insulation disposed atop a longitudinally extending upper chord of a roof truss, a purlin or a girt of a wall. Discrete insulating spacer members are intermittently disposed atop the first insulation layer and along the longitudinally extending chord, purlin or girt. A three sided bridge with a plurality of tab elements overlaying and contiguous with the insulating spacer members. A second layer of rolled insulation disposed atop the bridge and panel clips secured with a fastener extending through each of the second layer of insulation, bridge, insulating spacer member, first layer of insulation and upper chord.
