EXPEDITION

Year:

US Patent:

20080302480, Dec 11, 2008

Filed:

Jun 7, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/759509

Inventors:

Michael A. Berger - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

B32B 38/10

US Classification:

156344, 156584

Abstract:

To peel some material () off a substrate (), a shaft () pushes on a peeling tape () to unwind the peeling tape from the tape supply (). An end effector () holds the substrate () on top of the peeling tape's section above the shaft. The peeling tape becomes bonded to the material (). The shaft withdraws, and the peeling tape collector () pulls on the peeling tape to peel the tape together with the material ().

Inventors:

International Classification:

B32B 38/10

US Classification:

156344, 156584

Abstract:

When heat or UV radiation is applied to an adhesive tape () which bonds a semiconductor wafer () to a carrier (), the appropriate lift-off time for separating the wafer from the carrier is determined by monitoring the thickness (T or ΔT) of the wafer/tape/carrier sandwich. When the thickness or the thickness change has reached a predefined value or range of values, independently moveable driving members (R) drive the wafer or the carrier with small forces at a plurality of spaced-apart locations along the periphery. As a result, the lift-off is initiated at the location of the weakest adhesion.

International Classification:

G10H 1/32
G10H 1/00

Abstract:

Notwithstanding practical limitations imposed by mobile device platforms and applications, truly captivating musical instruments may be synthesized in ways that allow musically expressive performances to be captured and rendered in real-time. Synthetic musical instruments that provide a game, grading or instructional mode are described in which one or more qualities of a user's performance are assessed relative to a musical score. By providing a range of modes (from score-assisted to fully user-expressive), user interactions with synthetic musical instruments are made more engaging and tend to capture user interest over generally longer periods of time. Synthetic musical instruments are described in which force dynamics of user gestures (such as finger contact forces applied to a multi-touch sensitive display or surface and/or the temporal extent and applied pressure of sustained contact thereon) are captured and drive the digital synthesis in ways that enhance expressiveness of user performances.
