A method of inspecting an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source includes, in an idle mode, inserting a borescope mounted on a fixture through a first opening into a chamber of the EUV radiation source. The borescope includes a connection cable attached at a first end to a camera. The EUV radiation source includes an excitation laser that generates a light beam that is configured to focus onto tin droplets to generate EUV radiation inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source. The method further includes extending the extendible section, in a direction toward the second opening of the EUV radiation source, to move the camera beyond the blocking shield, and acquiring one or more images from a region beyond the blocking shield. The method also includes analyzing the one or more acquired images to determine an amount of tin debris deposited inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source.

A vision screening device for administering vision screening tests to a patient, to determine the presence of diseases and/or abnormalities in the eye(s) of the patient, is described herein. The vision screening device may include associated methods and systems configured to perform the operations of the vision screening tests. The device may include a radiation source configured to generate near-infrared (NIR) radiation, a sensor configured to capture a grayscale image representing the radiation reflected by the eye(s) of the patient, a white light source, and a camera configured to capture a color image of the eye of the patient. The device may also be configured to generate a behavior likelihood score for a patient based on the captured data, the score indicative of a likelihood of particular behavior (e.g., violence, outbursts, withdrawal symptoms, etc.). The device may then recommend action to prepare for such behavior, if necessary.

A semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor device, a second semiconductor device vertically positioned above the first semiconductor device, and a ground shielded transmission path. The ground shielded transmission path couples the first semiconductor device to the second semiconductor device. The ground shielded transmission path includes a first signal path extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. The first signal path includes a conductive material. A first insulating layer is disposed over the signal path longitudinally between the first end and the second end. The first insulating layer includes an electrically insulating material. A ground shielding layer is disposed over the insulating material longitudinally between the first end and the second end of the signal path. The ground shielding layer includes a conductive material coupled to ground. The ground shielding layer drives radiation signals received therein to ground to prevent induced noise in the first signal path.

In order to ensure that portions are visually appealing, i.e., centered,have uniform slice spacing in a longitudinal direction and do not differ too much in a transverse direction, andin particular do not rest on a sealing edge of a trough belt in its trough, the corresponding portion arrangement on a packaging element is, as is known, determined directly in a packaging machine from above by means of a camera and if a deviation from a target arrangement is too great, production parameters in upstream units of the packaging machine are adjusted, i.e., across a gap between a portioning belt and the packaging machine. According to the disclosure, the actual arrangement of the portion is determined from below the packaging element, in particular the trough, and through said the packaging element by means of radar radiation.
