Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for a package with top metal pad pitch adjustment are described. A first portion of an integrated circuit (e.g., including transistors and other devices) may have a first pitch associated with internal connections. The first pitch may not align with the pitch of a desired external connection. Accordingly, a set of masks may be used to add a second portion of an integrated circuit (e.g., metal wiring) to the integrated circuit such that the integrated circuit obtains a second pitch, different than the first pitch. The first portion of the integrated circuit may be consistent across one or more integrated circuits while the second portion of the integrated circuit may be customizable for the desired external connections associated with that integrated circuit.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for approximating spatial and temporal saturation and pressure of a carbon dioxide injection into an aquifer. In an example, the well is divided into segments for modeling purposes. A user provides initial input parameters for the bottom of a first segment, including an initial temperature and pressure. The initial parameters are used as input in an algorithm corresponding to the leak type. The algorithm outputs new property parameters corresponding to the top of the first segment. The new parameters are used as inputs in the algorithm in the next highest segment. This continues until all segments have been calculated. The outputs are aggregated and presented in a graphical template that includes edges representative of the output properties that connect nodes representing the well and surrounding wells and features.

Responsive to a selection of a process flow type, information corresponding to the selected process flow type is obtained. The information includes one or more headers and, for at least a first header, identifies one or more elements that are user-selectable for addition to a layout representing a process flow. A second GUI is generated using the information. A user may access the second GUI to generate a layout representing a process flow of the process flow type.

The controller further commands, based on the second motion component of the movement along the longitudinal axis, the instrument holder carriage to move relative to the manipulator arm.
