  • Patent number: 10309884
    Abstract: A method for predicting the electrical functionality of a semiconductor package, the method includes performing a first stiffness test for a first semiconductor package, receiving failure data for the first semiconductor package, the failure data includes results of an electrical test performed after the first semiconductor package is assembled on a printed circuit board, generating a database comprising results of the first stiffness test as a function of the failure data for the first semiconductor package, performing a second stiffness test for a second semiconductor package, identifying a unique result from the results of the first stiffness test in the database, the unique result aligns with a result of the second stiffness test, and predicting a failure data for the second semiconductor package based on the failure data for the first semiconductor package which corresponds to the unique result of the first stiffness test identified in the database.

  • Publication number: 20160321547
    Abstract: A computer receives information detailing the wardrobe of the user, including apparel and accessories, stored in a wardrobe database. The computer receives the schedule of the user and searches the schedule for keywords associated with dress codes and locational information in order to identify the dress code and locations of scheduled events. The computer cross references the determined dress code and weather conditions with suitable clothing in the wardrobe of the user then sends a signal to receivers in the wardrobe to indicate to the user which articles of clothing are appropriate for the weather and occasions of a particular day.

  • Publication number: 20160079059
    Abstract: An approach to manufacturing an elliptical semiconductor wafer includes a structure for an elliptical semiconductor wafer with a crystal direction, wherein the crystal direction is provided by a seed crystal orientation. The structure of the elliptical semiconductor wafer has a minor radius for the elliptical semiconductor wafer and a major radius for the elliptical semiconductor wafer wherein the major radius is greater than the minor radius.
