ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,498,700, issued on Dec. 16, was assigned to TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc. (Dallas).
"Time series anomaly detection in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication environment" was invented by Lyubima Maday (Herriman, Utah).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An IC manufacturing system including an anomaly detection and classification engine including a trained convolutional autoencoder (CAE) module coupled to a pointwise outlier detector (POD) module that is fitted to a latent feature space associated with the trained CAE module. The trained CAE module is operable to encode a candidate time series signal into a compressed representation in the latent feature ...
