  • Publication number: 20240034525
    Abstract: A top-opening substrate carrier comprises a container body, a door member and at least one latching mechanism. The latching mechanism includes a rotary drive member, a first driven cam, a second driven cam, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, two longitudinal latching arms and two lateral latching arms. The first driven cam and the second driven cam are disposed at two sides of the rotary drive member. When the rotary drive member is rotated by force, it links and activates the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to synchronously drive the first driven cam and the second driven cam to rotate, thereby driving the two longitudinal latching arms and the two lateral latching arms to project towards locking holes of the container body and locked, or retract from the locking holes of the container body and unlocked.

  • Publication number: 20240031457
    Abstract: Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide receiving a request to perform an operation on data. A data payload of the data is then transmitted to a programmable logic device using a first transfer to enable offloading of at least a portion of the operation. Then, a descriptor corresponding to a storage location of the data payload in the programmable logic device is received. Using memory accesses one or more headers are added to the data payload in the storage location. Finally, the descriptor corresponding to the data payload is transmitted without the data payload to the programmable logic device to cause the programmable logic device to transmit packets comprising the data payload and the one or more headers over a network.

  • Publication number: 20230386876
    Abstract: A door locking mechanism and semiconductor container using the same include door panel, cover, and locking module. The door panel has a first stop structure. The cover and the door panel define an accommodating space for receiving the locking module. The locking module includes rotating member, holding member, and elastic member. The elastic member is disposed on the holding member and has a second stop structure near the first stop structure. The elastic member is disposed between the holding and the rotating member. The elastic member is compressed when a force is applied to the holding member, and the second stop structure detaches from a limitation state with the first stop structure for allowing a rotating operation of the rotating member. The elastic member elastically restores when the force is removed, and the second stop structure returns to the limitation state for limiting the rotating operation.

  • Publication number: 20230229453
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating, distributing, and using performance mode BIOS configurations are disclosed. Each performance mode BIOS configuration can be a unique set of BIOS setting values that have been established to optimize a particular performance parameter or set of performance parameters, such as boot speed or operating system installation speed. Based on a given hardware configuration and/or set of performance parameters, one or more performance mode BIOS configurations can be packaged and transferred to a memory of a BMC in the form of one or more configuration payloads. The BIOS Setup Utility can display all configuration payloads, such as listed by the type of performance mode (e.g., “Boot Speed Performance Mode” and “OS Installation Performance Mode”), that are available in the BMC memory and allow a user to overwrite the memory containing the current BIOS configuration with a selected configuration payload.

  • Patent number: 11660706
    Abstract: A welding quality detection system and a welding quality detection method are provided. A detection device applies a force to at least one weld point of a first welded object or a second welded object that are welded together. A displacement detector detects a displacement signal that varies with the force or time between the first welded object and the second welded object based on the force. A detection module receives or records the displacement signal and determines whether a gap exists between the first welded object and the second welded object based on a slope of the displacement signal, so as to detect the welding quality of the weld point quickly and precisely.

  • Publication number: 20220291306
    Abstract: Disclosed methods include placing a semiconductor wafer containing MRAM devices into a first magnetic field that has a magnitude sufficient to magnetically polarize MRAM bits and has a substantially uniform field strength and direction over the entire area of the wafer. The method further includes placing the wafer in a second magnetic field having an opposite field direction, a substantially uniform field strength and direction over the entire area of the wafer, and magnitude less than a design threshold for MRAM bit magnetization reversal. The method further includes determining a presence of malfunctioning MRAM bits by determining that such malfunctioning MRAM bits have a magnetic polarization that was reversed due to exposure to the second magnetic field. Malfunctioning MRAM bits may further be characterized by electrically reading data bits, or by using a chip probe to read one or more of voltage, current, resistances, etc., of the MRAM devices.
