  • Patent number: 9933538
    Abstract: A method and system for enhancing the signal quality of received signals generated by acoustic tools by factoring in feedbacks from the rig operations in an adaptive optimization process. The system may include a transmitter driver circuit and transmitters which can implement signal transmission at selected power, mode and waveforms. The selected power, mode and transmit waveforms may further be generated in the system by making optimal calculations based on realtime information from the downhole data regarding the formation and borehole characteristics.

  • Patent number: 8160736
    Abstract: Efficient manufacturing automation system and methods are described. The automation system controls movement of materials for processing by tools in a manufacturing facility. The system and methods include pre-emptive dispatching for transferring of materials. With the pre-emptive dispatching, the next destination and next lot to be processed is determined prior to a first lot being converted to a ready to unload state. This reduces wait time or idle time to improve tool utilization.

  • Patent number: 7851899
    Abstract: A BGA package is disclosed including a base IC structure having a base substrate, with an opening running length-wise there through. A first semiconductor chip is mounted face-down on the base substrate so the bond pads thereof are accessible through the opening. The package also includes a secondary IC structure including a secondary substrate, having an opening running there through, and a second semiconductor chip. The second chip is mounted face-down on the secondary substrate so that the bond pads thereof are accessible through the opening in the secondary substrate. An encapsulant fills the opening in the secondary substrate and forms a substantially planar surface over the underside of the secondary substrate. The substantially planar surface is mounted to the first chip of the base IC structure through an adhesive. Wires connect a conductive portion of the secondary IC structure to a conductive portion of the base IC structure.

  • Patent number: 7268048
    Abstract: Methods of preparing conductive regions such as source/drain regions for silicidation procedures, has been developed. The methods feature removal of native oxide as well as removal of deposited arsenic based defects from conductive surfaces prior to deposition of a metal component of subsequently formed metal silicide regions. Arsenic ions implanted for N type source/drain regions are also implanted into insulator regions such as insulator filled shallow trench isolation regions. A hydrofluoric acid cycle used as a component of the pre-silicidation preparation procedure can release arsenic from the shallow trench isolation regions in the form of arsenic based defects, which in turn can re-deposit on the surface of source/drain region. Therefore pre-silicidation preparation treatments described in this invention feature removal of both native oxide and arsenic based defects from conductive surfaces prior to metal silicide formation.

  • Publication number: 20050206613
    Abstract: A system and method for power management of an optical mouse. A mechanical displacement sensor associated with the optical mouse is used to detect movement of the optical mouse. When the optical mouse is motionless, a switch within the mechanical displacement sensor sets the optical mouse to a standby state. The standby state conserves power. When motion is detected by the mechanical displacement sensor, the switch powers up the optical mouse into its normal mode of operation.
