Abstract: A micro electrical mechanical system (MEMS) valve is provided. The MEMS valve includes first and second bodies, a medium and a thermal element. The first body defines a first channel and a second channel intersecting the first channel. The second body defines a third channel and is movable within the first channel between first and second positions. When the second body is at the first positions, the second and third channels align and permit flow through the second and third channels. When the second body is at the second positions, the second and third channels misalign and inhibit flow through the second channel. The medium is charged into the first channel at opposite sides of the second body. The thermal element is proximate to the first channel and is operable to cause the medium to drive movements of the second body to the first or the second positions.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device, such as a wafer, die, or the like, includes a viscoelastic pad upon a contact. The viscoelastic pad includes a viscoelastic material and an electrically conductive material within the viscoelastic material. The viscoelastic pad provides for a probe needle of an IC device tester to be electrically connected to the IC device contact without the probe needle directly contacting the IC device contact. The viscoelastic pad may be probed multiple instances by the probe needle and may be washed or otherwise removed from the IC device after testing is completed. The viscoelastic pad may be formed upon the IC device by forming the viscoelastic material within a mask, aligning the viscoelastic pad to the IC device contact, and ejecting the viscoelastic material from the mask upon the IC device contact.

Abstract: A MEMS multiplexing system including: first and second fluid inputs; and a mixing network. The mixing network including: a first channel to receive the first fluid input; a second channel to receive the second fluid input; a multiplexing valve communicating with the first channel and the second channel, the multiplexing valve to cause the transport of the first fluid into the second channel so as to form a first interleaved fluid downstream from the multiplexing valve in the second channel and to cause the transport of the second fluid into the first channel so as to form a second interleaved fluid downstream from the multiplexing valve in the first channel; and the first channel and the second channel intersecting downstream from the valve so as to force mixing of the first interleaved fluid and the second interleaved fluid.

Abstract: A thermal interface material and systems and methods for forming a thermal interface material include depositing a layer of a composite material, including at least a first material and a second material, the first material including a carrier fluid and the second material including a filler particle suspended within the first material. A particle manipulator is positioned over the layer of the composite material, the particle manipulator including at least one emitter to apply a particle manipulating field to bias a movement of the filler particles. The second material is redistributed by applying the particle manipulating field to interact with the second material causing the second material to migrate from a surrounding region in the composite material into a high concentration region in the composite material to form a customized thermal interface such that the high concentration region is configured and positioned corresponding to a hotspot.

Abstract: An optical sensor and a deformation detection system in which the optical sensor is used. The optical sensor includes an optical fiber, an elongated hollow housing having an interior portion, and a material disposed on an inner surface of the housing that produces a persistent change in an optical signal transmission property of the optical fiber when the optical fiber contacts the material. The optical fiber elastically extends between opposing ends of the housing such that a bending deformation of the housing beyond a threshold radius of curvature causes a contact to occur between the material and the optical fiber. The contact results in persistent change in the optical signal transmission property of the optical fiber, which can be detected to determine whether deformation of the device occurred beyond a predetermined threshold value. The deformation detection system can use one or more of the optical sensors attached to the device.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a system, and a computer program product for processing messages. A computer system parses a message to identify key value pairs for confidential information in the message. The computer system creates a redacted message in which values in the key value pairs identified for the confidential information are replaced with plaintext tags. The computer system stores the key value pairs in a secure database. The computer system stores the redacted message in a plaintext database.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method that includes forming an IC layer having an inactive region and an active region. The active region includes a device-under-fabrication (DUF). The inactive region includes a geometric feature having a geometric shape. A film is deposited over the active DUF and the geometric feature such that a first portion of the film will be part of the active DUF, and such that a second portion of the film is over the geometric feature. A geometric shape of the film over the geometric feature matches the geometric shape of the geometric feature. Determining a thickness of the film is based at least in part a difference between a footprint of the geometric shape of the film and a footprint of the geometric shape of the geometric feature.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by a processor for reducing exposure of a plurality of objects to environmental conditions by employing a smart room tracking system is presented. The computer-implemented method includes counting a number of individuals within a space including the plurality of objects via one or more image capture devices and determining whether each individual makes direct eye contact with any of the plurality of objects by evaluating orientation, posture, and eye movement of each individual. The computer-implemented method further includes shielding, via an object viewing controller, an object of the plurality of objects from view when no direct eye contact is determined and making an object of the plurality of objects viewable, via the object viewing controller, when direct eye contact is determined.
