Patent number: 11945004Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system has a multi-station cleaning and inspection system. Within semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system, a tray cleaning station uses a first rotating brush passing over a first surface of a carrier and possibly semiconductor die, and a second rotating brush passing over a second surface of the carrier and semiconductor die opposite the first surface of the carrier and semiconductor die. Debris and contaminants dislodged from the first surface and second surface of the carrier by the first rotating brush and second rotating brush are removed under vacuum suction. A conveyor transports the carrier through the multi-station cleaning and inspection system. The first rotating brush and second rotating brush move in tandem across the first surface and second surface of the carrier. Air pressure is injected across the first rotating brush and second rotating brush to further remove debris and contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: UTAC Headquarters Pte.

Publication number: 20230240492Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a combing unit including a series of spaced protrusions or teeth extending into a cleaning roller for preventing build up and removing debris (such as hair, string, and the like). The protrusions extend along a substantial portion of the cleaning roller and extend partially into the cleaning roller to intercept the debris as it passes around the roller. The protrusions have angled leading edges that are not aligned with a rotation center of the cleaning roller and are directed into or against a direction of rotation of the cleaning roller. The combing unit and protrusions have a shape and configuration designed to facilitate debris removal from the cleaning roller with minimal impact on the operation of the cleaning apparatus. The cleaning apparatus may include a surface cleaning head of an upright vacuum cleaner or sweeper or a robotic vacuum cleaner.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Jason B.

Patent number: 11593589Abstract: A novel interpretable and steerable deep sequence modeling technique is disclosed. The technique combines prototype learning and RNNs to achieve both interpretability and high accuracy. Experiments and case studies on different real-world sequence prediction/classification tasks demonstrate that the model is not only as accurate as other state-of-the-art machine learning techniques but also much more interpretable. In addition, a large-scale user study on Amazon Mechanical Turk demonstrates that for familiar domains like sentiment analysis on texts, the model is able to select high quality prototypes that are well aligned with human knowledge for prediction and interpretation. Furthermore, the model obtains better interpretability without a loss of performance by incorporating the feedback from a user study to update the prototypes, demonstrating the benefits of involving human-in-the-loop for interpretable machine learning.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Panpan Xu, Liu Ren, Yao Ming
