  • Patent number: 8862525
    Abstract: A method for screening samples for building a prediction model and a computer program product thereof are provided. When a set of new sample data is added to a dynamic moving window (DMW), a clustering step is performed with respect to all of the sets of sample data within the window for grouping the sets of sample data with similar properties as one group. If the number of the sets of sample data in the largest group is greater than a predetermined threshold, it means that there are too many sets of sample data with similar properties in the largest group, and the oldest sample data in the largest group can be deleted; if smaller than or equal to a predetermined threshold, it means that the sample data in the largest group are quite unique, and should be kept for building or refreshing the prediction model.

  • Publication number: 20140222376
    Abstract: A method for searching, analyzing, and optimizing process parameters and a computer product thereof are provided. At first, sets of process data that are generated when a process tool processes workpieces are obtained respectively, each set of process data including process parameters. Then, sets of metrology data measured by a metrology tool are obtained, wherein the sets of metrology data are corresponding to the sets of the process data in a one-to-one manner, each workpiece having at least one measurement point, each set of metrology data including at least one actual measurement value of at least one measurement item at the at least one measurement point. Thereafter, critical parameters are selected from the process parameters. Then, values of the critical parameters are adjusted to enable predicted measurement values of the measurement points of one workpiece to meet a quality target value.

  • Patent number: 8688256
    Abstract: An advanced process control (APC) system, an APC method, and a computer program product, which, when executed, performs an APC method are provided for incorporating virtual metrology (VM) into APC. The present inventions uses a reliance index (RI) and a global similarity index (GSI) to adjust at least one controller gain of a run-to-run (R2R) controller when the VM value of a workpiece is adopted to replace the actual measurement value of the workpiece. The RI is used for gauging the reliability of the VM value, and the GSI is used for assessing the degree of similarity between the set of process data for generating the VM value and all the sets of historical process data used for building the conjecturing model.

  • Patent number: 8413025
    Abstract: A method of handling packet loss uses error-correcting codes and block rearrangement. This method divides the original data stream into data blocks, then codes the blocks by error-correcting codes. After coding the blocks, rearranges the coding blocks for spreading original data into new blocks and then transmitting the new blocks. After receiving the transmitted blocks, reverse-rearrangs the received blocks and decode the blocks. Combine the decoded blocks into original data stream in the end.

  • Publication number: 20060282893
    Abstract: A network information security zone joint defense system is provided, which monitors a network connection status through a network defense appliance. Once the network defense appliance detects a user computer in a network system triggering the conditions of a network zone joint defense, the network defense appliance immediately and automatically connects to a specified network switch, such that the network switch interrupts the network access service provided for the user computer, so as to effectively prevent virus or hacker from continuing spreading virus to the same or other subnet of the network, and further prevent the virus from starting a DDoS attack or paralyzing the network server, and thus greatly reducing the damages and losses to the network system.

  • Patent number: 7086458
    Abstract: A heat sink module includes a heat dissipation pad. The heat dissipation pad is flexible and has a cambered shape, and is pressed to become a flat plate when disposed between the heat sink module and a CPU. The heat dissipation pad restores to its original cumbered shape and lifts the heat sink module away from a CPU when a fixing device that fixes the heat sink module to the CPU is disabled. Therefore, one can easily removes the heat sink module without any additional tools or processes.
