  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE DRY RELEASE OF A COMPLIANT OPHTHALMIC ARTICLE FROM A MOLD SURFACE
    Publication number: 20120001353
    Abstract: An apparatus for releasing a molded lens from a deformable mold includes a shear ring for temporarily retaining an annular portion of the deformable mold outside a periphery of the lens and a plunger for deforming an annular section of the deformable mold within the periphery of the lens. The apparatus can be employed to release a non-hydrated hydrogel lens from a deformable mold section.

  • DETERMINATION OF TRAINING SET SIZE FOR A MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110307424
    Abstract: Automated determination of a number of profiles for a training data set to be used in training a machine learning system for generating target function information from modeled profile parameters. In one embodiment, a first principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on a training data set, and a second PCA is performed on a combined data set which includes the training data set and a test data set. A test data set estimate is generated based on the first PCA transform and the second PCA matrix. The size of error between the test data set and the test data set estimate is used to determine whether a number of profiles associated with the training data set is sufficiently large for training a machine learning system to generate a library of spectral information.

  • Continuous Microscale Forming of Metal-Based Microchannels and Other Microchannel Devices
    Publication number: 20110174040
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing metal-based, high-aspect-ratio microscale structures (HARMs), for example microchannels in a heat exchanger. The preferred manufacturing method operates in a continuous mode, and employs low-temperature rolling of metals. A process is disclosed for bonding metal microchannel sheets or plates to flat metal sheets or plates to form single-, double-, and multiple-layered microchannel structures. The process can operate at much lower temperatures than prior methods of compression microscale molding of metals, at room temperature or even lower.

  • Temporary carrier bonding and detaching processes
    Patent number: 7883991
    Abstract: A method of bonding and detaching a temporary carrier used for handling a wafer during the fabrication of semiconductor devices includes bonding a wafer onto a carrier through a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer, in which the edge zone of the wafer and the carrier is covered by the first adhesive layer while the edge zone is not covered by the second adhesive layer. A wafer edge clean process is then performed to remove the first adhesive layer adjacent the edge of the wafer and expose the edge zone of the carrier, followed by removing the second adhesive layer from the carrier. After detaching the carrier from the wafer, the first adhesive layer remaining on the wafer is removed.

  • Metal-Based Microchannel Heat Exchangers Made by Molding Replication and Assembly
    Publication number: 20100288479
    Abstract: Compression molding of metals is used to make microchannel heat exchangers. Heat transfer can be improved by employing controlled microchannel surface roughness. Flux-free bonding is achieved using a eutectic thin-film intermediate layer. Seals are leak-tight, mechanically strong, and uniform across multiple contact areas. The metal heat exchangers may be mass-produced inexpensively, and are useful for applications including the cooling of computer chips and other high-power electronic devices, air conditioning, refrigeration, condenser plates, radiators, fuel cell heat management, and instant water heating.

  • System for cleaning a wafer
    Patent number: 7823241
    Abstract: A system for cleaning a wafer. At least one first chuck roller is connected to a first roller base and includes a first annular groove. A second roller base opposes the first roller base. At least one second chuck roller is connected to the second roller base and includes a second annular groove. A sensing chuck roller is connected to the second roller base and includes a third annular groove corresponding to the first and second annular grooves. A cleaning member covers the third annular groove. A circumferential edge of the wafer is positioned in the first and second annular grooves and abuts the cleaning member. The first and second chuck rollers rotate the wafer, enabling the circumferential edge thereof to rub against the cleaning member.

  • THERMOELECTRIC NANOWIRE ARRAY WITH LOW HEAT LEAKAGE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20100162728
    Abstract: A thermoelectric nanowire array with a low heat leakage and a manufacturing method thereof are described. Nanowire array units separated from each other are formed on a substrate, and an air wall is formed at a region on the substrate free of the nanowire array units. Or, a polymeric material having a low thermal conductivity is combined with a template material so as to form a composite template structure for nanowires to deposit therein. With the design of the air wall or the composite template structure, the thermal reflow phenomenon of the thermoelectric nanowire array is avoided, thereby greatly improving a thermal dissipation efficiency of the thermoelectric nanowire array.
