  • Publication number: 20240085678
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a camera module comprising flat lenses. Flat lenses have reduced thicknesses compared to other types of lenses, whereby the camera module may have a small size and camera bumps may be omitted or reduced in size on cell phones and the like incorporating the camera module. The flat lenses are configured to focus visible light into a beam of white light, split the beam into sub-beams of red, green, and blue light, and guide the sub-beams respectively to separate image sensors for red, green, and blue light. The image sensors generate images for corresponding colors and the images are combined into a full-color image. Optically splitting the beam into the sub-beams and using separate image sensors for the sub-beams allows color filters to be omitted and smaller pixel sensors. This, in turn, allows higher quality imaging.

  • Publication number: 20240047336
    Abstract: An electronic package is provided, in which an electronic element is arranged on a carrier structure having a plurality of wire-bonding pads arranged on a surface of the carrier structure, and a plurality of bonding wires are connected to a plurality of electrode pads of the electronic element and the plurality of wire-bonding pads. Further, among any three adjacent ones of the plurality of wire-bonding pads, a long-distanced first wire-bonding pad, a middle-distanced second wire-bonding pad and a short-distanced third wire-bonding pad are defined according to their distances from the electronic element. Therefore, even if the bonding wires on the first to third wire-bonding pads are impacted by an adhesive where a wire sweep phenomenon occurred when the flowing adhesive of a packaging layer covers the electronic element and the bonding wires, the bonding wires still would not contact each other, thereby avoiding short circuit problems.

  • Patent number: 11895192
    Abstract: A wrapper layer over a target interface receives requests from client devices over a different interface, converts the requests into a format that is compatible with the target interface, and transmits each converted request over the target interface for processing by a service. The wrapper layer also processes a request by a client device to subscribe to a certain type of update made via the target interface by verifying that the client device is authorized to access a resource associated with that type of update and creating a subscription that identifies the client device and the type of update. When the wrapper layer subsequently receives a request corresponding to that type of update, the wrapper layer matches attributes of the request to the subscription by the client device and transmits a message notifying the client device of the request.

  • Patent number: 11824938
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for integrating external sensors to an edge device, such as for ingesting data into a data intake and query system. The edge device has an internal message broker for communicating with internal (e.g., preconfigured, recognized) sensors, and an external message broker for communicating with external (e.g., customer-configured, otherwise unrecognized) sensors. The external message broker provides access to customer configuration of external sensors, but is logically quarantined from the internal message broker to prevent unwanted customer access to internal configurations. The internal and external message brokers interface only via a bridging service that transforms external sensor data into data based on customer-configurable transformations. The transformed data can be handled by the edge device and/or downstream components (e.g., a data intake and query system) in the same manner as internal sensor data.

  • Publication number: 20230360976
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for nondestructive inspection of cell etch redeposition. In some embodiments of the method, a grayscale image of a plurality of cells on a wafer is captured. The grayscale image provides a top down view of the cells and, in some embodiments, is captured in situ after etching to form the cells. The cells are identified in the grayscale image to determine non-region of interest (non-ROI) pixels corresponding to the cells. The non-ROI pixels are subtracted from the grayscale image to determine ROI pixels. The ROI pixels are remaining pixels after the subtracting and correspond to material on sidewalls of, and in recesses between, the cells. An amount of etch redeposition on the sidewalls and in the recesses is then scored based on gray levels of the ROI pixels. Further, the wafer is processed based on the score.
