摘要： Systems and methods for providing an optical lens for a head mounted display (HMD) or other application that is cost-effective and has high performance. A lens assembly may include a first, relatively thin lens and a second, relatively thick lens. The first lens may include microfeatures on at least one optical transmission surface thereof. The second lens may include at least one curved surface, such that the second lens is plano-convex, bi-convex, etc. Each of the first lens and the second lens may include mounting areas disposed about a periphery of the respective optical transmission areas of the lenses that include complementary mounting microfeatures thereon that enable the first and second lens to be coupled together and, when so coupled, to be self-aligned with each other within a very low tolerance. The mounting microfeatures may be provided on the lenses using a high precision process (e.g., diamond turning) also used to generate the microfeatures on at least one optical transmission surface of the first, relatively thin, lens of the lens assembly.

摘要： A support member system is described for association with an overhead transport system. The support member system provides a safety feature to the overhead transport system by which the overhead transport system is able to avoid damage to wafers that are contained within a wafer cassette that is unintentionally released by the overhead transport system. The support member system is able to prevent such released cassettes from impacting the ground or tools located under the overhead transport system. The support member system targets wafer cassettes that have dimensions which are different than the dimensions of wafer cassettes for which the overhead transport system was originally designed to transport. Stocker systems for receiving, storing and delivering different types of wafer cassettes are also described.

摘要： The treatment system provides a feature that may reduce cost of the electrochemical plating process by reusing the virgin makeup solution in the spent electrochemical plating bath. The treatment system provides a rotating filter shaft which receives the spent electrochemical plating bath and captures the additives and by-products created by the additives during the electrochemical plating process. To capture the additives and the by-products, the rotating filter shaft includes one or more types of membranes. Materials such as semi-permeable membrane are used to capture the used additives and by-products in the spent electrochemical plating bath. The treatment system may be equipped with an electrochemical sensor to monitor a level of additives in the filtered electrochemical plating bath.

摘要： An electronic component includes a processor and a memory. The electronic component has a secure platform capable of storing at least one dual key pair and a corresponding digital signature. There is also a system including a host machine and an electronic component capable of being operated by the host machine. The electronic component has a processor, a memory, and a secure platform capable of storing at least one dual key pair and a corresponding digital signature. Another aspect describes a method, which includes reading a public key from an electronic component by a host machine, verifying the public key against a stored key in the host machine, digitally signing data using a private key from the electronic component, verifying the signed data against the stored key, and using the electronic component by the host machine only if the signed data and the public key are verified.
