  • Patent number: 12027891
    Abstract: A display having at least two display surfaces, a controller and a communication interface for receiving charge state signals are provided in a display device. Each charge state signal describes the respective charge state of one of multiple electrical consumer devices. The control device determines the charge state of each electrical consumer device based on the charge state signals received. Then the control device generates image signals, each defining an image representing one of the detected charge states and transmits the image signals to the display. The image of each detected charge state is displayed on a display surface assigned to the respective electrical consumer device. The display device may be part of a household appliance, or an item of furniture.

  • Publication number: 20240201605
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a digital lithography system and methods for alignment resolution with the digital lithography system. The digital lithography system includes a metrology system configured to improve overlay alignment for different layers of the lithography process. The metrology system includes an inline metrology system (IMS) in combination with an on tool metrology system (OTM), which enable substrate overlay alignment and die placement correction. The inline metrology system may be positioned on an inline metrology tool and the on tool metrology system is positioned on a digital lithography tool. The inline metrology system facilitates measurement of high-throughput measurement inline metrology data for marks such as die marks and global alignment marks for verification of process stability and die placement data for digital data correction. This inline metrology data can be compared with a design file to determine offsets for the digital data correction.

  • Patent number: 12005780
    Abstract: A method and an operator control device operate an infotainment system. The operator control device has a control unit, an audio device, an actuating element, and a touch-sensitive display device, which is mounted so as to be movable and is designed to display at least one graphical control element. The touch-sensitive display device moves during an actuating action and thus activates the actuating element. The control unit determines an actuation position of the actuating action on the touch-sensitive display device when the actuating element is activated and compares said actuation position with a display position of the at least one graphical control element. The audio device is actuated to output an audible signal when the actuation position matches the display position.

  • Publication number: 20230288822
    Abstract: Actual physical locations of dies on a substrate package may be identified without using a full metrology scan of the substrate. Instead, one or more cameras may be used to efficiently locate the approximate location of any of the alignment features based on their expected positioning in the design file for the packages are substrate. The cameras may then be moved to locations where alignment features should be, and images may be captured to determine the actual location of the alignment feature. These actual locations of the alignment features may then be used to identify coordinates for the dies, as well as rotations and/or varying heights of the dies on the packages. A difference between the expected location from the design file and the actual physical location may be used to adjust instructions for the digital lithography system to compensate for the misalignment of the dies.
