Automated combined display of measurement data
A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable medium for automatically generating a combined display of measurement data representing a combined measurement, such as a multiphase parameter, includes establishing, by a mobile computing device, communication connections with a plurality of measurement devices configured to generate measurement data. The mobile computing device receives the measurement data generated by the plurality of measurement devices, and in response to information indicative of the measurement data representing related parts of a combined measurement, the mobile computing device automatically groups the measurement data received from the measurement devices and automatically displays the grouped measurement data in a combined display that shares at least one axis of measurement. In at least one embodiment, the combined measurement is a multiphase parameter, such as a three-phase electrical parameter, and the combined display is a graph in which the measurement data shares at least one axis of measurement, such as time.
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND MEASUREMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM
An average processing section, a timer, and a control section are provided. The average processing section is configured to compute an average measurement value, this being an average value of plural observed values of each of plural measurement targets as output from a switching section that switches output between measurement values acquired from each of the plural measurement targets. The timer is configured to generate a timer signal configured by timing signals at a predetermined interval. The control section is configured to control the switching section and the average processing section so as to compute the average measurement value for each of the measurement targets according to the timer signal and according to a measurement sequence to set an order of measurement and a number of measurements for the plural measurement targets.
VALIDATING AN UPGRADE FOR A DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
There are described a method, apparatus, and kit for validating an upgrade to a data acquisition system (DAS). The method comprises acquiring measurement data from a composite part using an upgraded DAS, the composite part representing a family of parts and having features from different parts of the family of parts incorporated thereon; comparing the measurement data to reference data defining tolerances for the measurement data; and validating the upgrade to the DAS based on the comparing of the measurement data to the reference data.
Method of determining information about a patterning process, method of reducing error in measurement data, method of calibrating a metrology process, method of selecting metrology targets
Methods of determining information about a patterning process. In a method, measurement data from a metrology process applied to each of a plurality of metrology targets on a substrate is obtained. The measurement data for each metrology target includes at least a first contribution and a second contribution. The first contribution is from a parameter of interest of a patterning process used to form the metrology target. The second contribution is from an error in the metrology process. The method further includes using the obtained measurement data from all of the plurality of metrology targets to obtain information about an error in the metrology process, and using the obtained information about the error in the metrology process to extract a value of the parameter of interest for each metrology target.
Display Unit For A Measuring Device For Processing And Automation Technology, And Measuring Device Having A Display Unit Of This Type
The invention relates to a display unit for a measuring device for processing and automation technology, comprising a rectangular, but not square, graphic display (3), on which different measurement and/or parameter data of the measuring device (1) can be displayed, wherein the display (3) can be rotated in 90° steps relative to the display unit (2), such that the displayed measurement and/or parameter data can always be oriented horizontally regardless of a rotation of the display unit (2) in the vertical plane. The display (3) has at least two square sub-regions (4a, 4b) and these square sub-regions (4a, 4b) can be rotated independently of one another. The invention also relates to a measuring device for processing and automation technology comprising a display unit of this type.

Univariate Anomaly Detection in a Sensor Network
Embodiments determine anomalies in sensor data generated by a sensor. Embodiments receive a first time window of clean sensor data generated by the sensor, the clean sensor data including anomaly free data, and determine if the clean sensor data includes a cyclic pattern. When the clean sensor data has a cyclic pattern, embodiments divide the first time window into a plurality of segments of equal length, where each equal length includes the cyclic pattern. Embodiments convert the first time window and each of the plurality of segments into corresponding curves using Kernel Density Estimation (“KDE”). For each of the plurality of segments, embodiments determine a Kullback-Leibler (“KL”) divergence value between corresponding curves of the segment and the first time window to generate a plurality of KL divergence values.
