Title: A method of operating an internal combustion engine to provide correction of fuel injection times and indication of injector failure
Inventor: MELIS MASSIMILIANO
IPC: F02D41/22
Filed: 2012-01-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of operating an internal combustion engine 110. The engine 110 comprises an engine block 120 defining a cylinder 125 having a piston 140 coupled to rotate a crankshaft 145 and a fuel injector 160 suitable to inject fuel inside the cylinder. The method comprises the steps of operating the injector to perform a pattern of test fuel injections and determining an actual value of a parameter indicative of a torque generated by each injection. If a difference between the actual value of the parameter indicative of a torque generated by the test fuel injection and a target value thereof exceeds a predefined threshold then the nominal energizing time is corrected. A cumulative correction for the energizing time for the injector is calculated as a sum of the energizing time correction values of each test fuel injection of the pattern and if the absolute value of the cumulative correction energizing time exceeds a predefined threshold value then a faulty condition of the injector is indicated.

Title: Simulation of lithography overlay
Inventor: HABETS BORIS
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2012-07-09
Abstract: A method for simulation of lithography overlay which comprises storing alignment parameters used to align a semiconductor wafer prior to a lithography step; storing process control parameters used during the lithography step on the semiconductor wafer; storing overlay parameters measured after the lithography step; calculating alternative alignment parameters and alternative process control parameters. The alternative alignment parameters and the alternative process control parameters are added to cleansed overlay parameters to obtain simulated lithography overlay data. The simulations allow the testing of assumptions regarding the number of measurements which need to be carried out as well as potentially providing a control method for optimisation of throughput of the lithography process. Figure 1 shows a fabrication unit 1 for patterning a surface of a semiconductor wafer 10, comprising an exposure tool 20, and exposure controller 30, a developing unit 40 and an overlay measurement tool 50. The simulation processor 60 includes non-volatile memory for storage data. Figure 2 show the wafer exposure field (70, figure 2) with lower overlay marks (71, figure 2). These lower layer overlay marks (74 figure 3a/b) and upper layer overlay reference marks 74 are used to obtain overlay error measurements (see figure 3a/b).

Title: Method for interconnecting stacked semiconductor devices
Inventor: ZHAO JUNFENG
IPC: H01L25/065
Filed: 2014-09-26
Abstract: Dies are divided from a wafer and tested and sorted into acceptable and non acceptable devices. The acceptable dies are arranged in a grid array and moulded in a resin layer to form a reconstituted wafer comprising only acceptable dies. Multiple reconstituted wafers are laminated together to form a stacked assembly and electrical redistribution layers can be formed over the reconstituted wafer surface. Through mould vias (TMVs), formed by drilling holes and refilling the holes with metal, are used to electrically interconnect the dies in a vertical direction after the reconstituted wafers have been stacked. Individual devices comprising stacked dies may be formed by subdividing the laminated stack of reconstituted wafers.

Title: An energy efficient electric cooker
Inventor: ALESSANDRO GHELLI
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 2014-12-02
Abstract: A cooker electric hotplate control system, to heat to and maintain a foodstuff at a preset temperature comprises a controller to govern power input to an electric hotplate; a sensor to determine the temperature of the hotplate; and an infrared sensor detecting infrared radiation emitted by a foodstuff or a vessel containing a foodstuff on the hotplate. Fuzzy logic controllers use the first and second time derivatives of the temperatures to control the amount of power supplied to the hotplate, so that a foodstuff temperature is brought to and maintained at a preset temperature for a time period. The preset temperature may be a boiling or a frying temperature and may be determined using emissivity values of the vessel or a cooking oil. A computer communication system may comprise means to input linguistic variables that are compared with databases of descriptors and antonyms and of descriptor and antonym modifiers to give a numerical output from a secondary membership function incorporated into a linear general type-2 fuzzy set. The numerical values are combined to give an action numerical value that is associated with an action that is communicated to a user.

Title: Load-through fault mechanism
Inventor: SWANBERG RANDAL CRAIG
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2014-12-08
Abstract: A mechanism is provided for accessing data in a hybrid hardware managed cache 312 in front of flash memory 308 enabling load/store byte addressability to flash memory. In response to a request to perform an operation (e.g. a load or store) at an effective address, a determination is made as to whether a real address associated with the effective address resides in a page table (412). Responsive to the real address existing in the page table, and responsive to the real address referring to a flash page, it is determined whether the flash page resides in the hybrid hardware managed cache, e.g. in L4 cache 306b. Responsive to the flash page failing to reside in the hybrid hardware managed cache, a load-through fault is issued that allows the faulting processor executing the request to execute other work while the flash page is brought into the hybrid hardware managed cache and may involve performing a context switch out of the faulting thread. A new hybrid hardware managed cache real address is assigned and the flash page is moved from a flash memory to hybrid hardware managed cache. The operation is then issued to the new hybrid hardware managed cache real address.
