Abstract: This patent presents a multidimensional space vector modulation (MDSVM) circuit formed by coupling a half-bridge logic control circuit not directly coupled to electronic components with at least three half-bridge logic control circuits coupled to electronic components. The half-bridge logic control circuit not directly coupled with any electronic components can form a full-bridge circuit with any other half-bridge logic control circuit coupled with electronic components. Therefore, users can further control the voltage difference between both ends of each electronic component separately and then individually control the strength and direction of current flowing through each electronic component and solving the problem of control attributed to the complexity of prior art.

The method also includes forming a dielectric layer over the insulating layer. The method further includes partially removing the dielectric layer and insulating layer using a planarization process.

Abstract: This patent presents an attitude determination and control system based on a Quaternion Kalman Filter (QKF) with an extendable number of sensors and actuators. Furthermore, it is compatible with the spherical motor as its attitude actuator. The system includes a processor with a QKF, at least one direct attitude actuator, and at least two environmental sensors. Firstly, system dynamics calculates a first propagation attitude determination result. Next, update the first propagation with the attitude sensor measurements. Then, control the satellite's attitude via the attitude actuator closer to the attitude command provided by the user. The proposed system dynamic model could adjust the number of actuators and sensors freely without reprogramming the algorithms for new missions with new configurations on the actuators and sensors. Moreover, if some components fail, the algorithm can automatically remove those related sequences to avoid the overall failure of the system.

Abstract: A system for determining the cause of an abnormality in a semiconductor manufacturing process includes an abnormality mode determination module, a selection module, and a root cause analysis module. The abnormality mode determination module is used to determine the similarity between wafer bin maps containing the abnormal data. When the similarity among the wafer maps is higher than a reference value, the selection module executes the steps of: determining a bad lot based on the wafer maps where the similarity is higher than the reference value; determining a time span within which the bad lot is generated; selecting other bad lots occurring in the time span and satisfying a failure model; selecting a good lot based on a fixed lot interval. The root cause analysis module is used to execute the steps of calculating the correlation among data to obtain confidence indexes.
