Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for recording video relay service (VRS) calls. The method comprises providing a VRS call recorder, a VRS rules gateway, and a VRS video client connected to each other by means of a computer network; initiating a VRS call using the VRS video client; sending the VRS call to the VRS rules gateway; determining, by the VRS rules gateway, whether the VRS call is to be recorded; in response to a determination that the VRS call is to be recorded: modifying a property of the VRS call to indicate that the call is to be recorded; detecting, by the VRS call recorder, the modified VRS call property; and in response to detecting the modified VRS call property, trying the VRS call with recording enabled.
Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed for enabling a real-time visual verification that a video relay service (VRS) call originates from a specific pre-authorized and pre-determined inmate at a corrections facility. The method comprises providing a VRS call recorder, a VRS rules gateway, and a VRS video client being used by the inmate to connect to another VRS client being used by a sign language interpreter (SLI). The display seen by the SLI has a picture-in-picture image showing the inmate (from a database of images of inmates stored in the rules gateway) who should be using the VRS client as well as a real-time video image of the inmate actually using the VRS client. If the picture-in-picture image does not match the live video image, then the audio call to the designated phone number may not be placed by the SLI.
Abstract:
A method for process monitoring includes receiving a sample having a first layer that is at least partially conductive and a second layer formed over the first layer, following production of contact openings in the second layer by an etch process, the contact openings including a plurality of test openings having different, respective transverse dimensions. A beam of charged particles is directed to irradiate the test openings. In response to the beam, at least one of a specimen current flowing through the first layer and a total yield of electrons emitted from a surface of the sample is measured, thus producing an etch indicator signal. The etch indicator signal is analyzed as a function of the transverse dimensions of the test openings so as to assess a characteristic of the etch process.
Abstract:
A method and system for defect localization includes: (i) receiving a test structure that includes at least one conductor that is at least partially covered by an electro-optically active material; (ii) providing an electrical signal to the conductor, such as charge at least a portion of the conductor; and (iii) imaging the test structure to locate a defect.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for testing the resistance of a test wafer having multiple conductors. Embodiments include a method having the steps of providing a signal that is substantially larger than a signal threshold to a test structure; and scanning at least two conductors of the test structure, that are electrically couplet to each other, by a limited voltage resolution SEM. Charged particles emitted from the at least two conductors as a result of the scanning are collected, thus providing an indication about a resistance of the at least two conductors.
