Source text - English New Products Plastronics Adds to Burn-in Socket Line Irving, Texas—The Plastronics Socket Co. has added an open top, small outline 0.65mm pitch BGA socket to its burn-in socket product line. The socket size is 26mm x 26mm and the unit will accept packages up to 18mm x 18mm with a maximum ball matrix of 25mm x 25mm. The socket can be selectively depopulated to the exact number of required pins. The Plastronics fine-pitch BGA burn-in socket line now includes 0.50mm, 0.75mm and 0.80mm, as well as the newest addition.

Source text - Chinese Multi-lingual Search Results OES提供多語系的搜尋功能，使用者可以一次搜尋就找到不同語言的搜尋結果。系統會將符合查詢條件的資料，以條列式的方式逐條呈現，透過系統多樣的Sorting功能，讓使用者能依照關連性、檔案時間、檔案大小及檔案名稱等方式進行動態排序，節省資料的瀏覽時間。 Preference 為符合不同使用者的使用習慣，OES提供了個人化偏好設定選項。如果常找客戶資料，那可以將排序方式調整為依人名排序；如果常找合約資料，那可以將排序方式調整為依時間排序；如果習慣大海撈針，那可以將單頁呈現筆數拉長，以方便快速瀏覽。使用者可以透過簡單的設定，讓系統會自動記憶每個人的使用習慣，希望OES的貼心能讓您搜尋的更有效率。	Translation - English Multi-lingual Search Results OES provides a multi-lingual search function which allows users to find search results in several different languages with just one search. The system will then display the data which meets the search conditions line by line. Through the system’s multiple sorting function, users can save data browsing time by performing dynamic sorting based on relatedness, file date, file size, file name, and more. Preference OES provides a personalized preference option to address the personal preferences of different users. If users need to frequently search for customer data, then the sorting method can be adjusted to sort by name. If users need to frequently search for contract data, then the sorting method can be adjusted to sort by time. If users are used to finding a needle in a haystack, they can lengthen the number of messages displayed per page in order to browse the data quickly. Through simple configuration procedures, the user can set the system to automatically memorize each user’s preferences. We are confident that OES’s design will make your search more efficient.
Chinese to English: Telecom Patent Abstract
Source text - Chinese 摘要本发明公开了一种接入设备的主备板备份及倒换的方法，包括：使备板与主板之间保持实时通信并随时检测主板工作状态；根据主板中组播用户动态数据的变化改变备板中的数据；根据检测到的主板故障，进行主备板倒换；新主板向上游路由器发送组播数据流请求报告。组播用户动态数据包括：组播用户上线记录、组播用户话单记录等等。采用本发明的方法，能够保证组播用户在主备倒换过程中一直在线，保持组播数据流的不中断，从而保证主备倒换不会对组播用户的组播业务造成明显的影响；而且不会丢失组播用户的组播业务话单，保证了运营商的利益。	Translation - English Abstract This present invention discloses a type of active and standby board backup and switchover method for access devices, comprising: maintain real time communications between standby board and active board, and check the operating status of the active board at all times; refresh standby board data based on changes to multicast client dynamic data in the active board; perform switchover from the active board to the standby board based on the active board failure detected; the new active board sends a multicast join request to the upstream router based on its saved data. Multicast client dynamic data comprises: multicast client online record, multicast client CDR (Call Detail Record), etc. Adopting the method of this invention guarantees that clients remain online during switchover, ensures an uninterrupted video stream, and thereby ensures that the switchover from active to standby does not significantly affect multicast services for multicast clients. Moreover, clients' multicast service CDR will not be lost, which protects the interests of the provider.
English to Chinese: Semiconductor Technical Article excerpt
Source text - English CD-SEM technology is not going away, but in the future we see OCD continuing to supplant CD-SEM for many etch and lithography applications where customers need additional structural information. CD-SEM has limited capabilities for many types of measurements in that, because it is a top-down imaging technique, it cannot provide information about trench depth or detailed information about sidewall shape. It is also problematic in that it is difficult or impossible for CD-SEM to accurately measure buried or hidden structures in 3D devices, or to accurately differentiate between the thickness of the grating line and the thickness of the line’s sidewall spacer in spacer pitch splitting structures. Cross-sectional electron microscopy can provide this additional information, but it is a destructive process and in a fab environment is generally slow to provide feedback. OCD has advantages because it is a fast, non-destructive measurement that is able to provide significantly more structural information than CD-SEM, especially for today’s more complicated 3D semiconductor structures.	Translation - Chinese CD-SEM技術還未過時，但我們可以預見客戶在許多蝕刻及光刻的應用程式上需要額外的結構資訊，因此 OCD 會持續地取代 CD-SEM。CD-SEM 在許多測量種類中都有諸多限制，因為它是一種由上而下的成像技術，無法提供蝕溝深度或溝壁形狀的詳細資訊。而 CD-SEM 很難甚至無法精確地測量埋在或隱藏在 3D 裝置中的結構，或精確地區別光柵刻線的厚度及刻線溝壁隔板在隔板間距劃分結構中的厚度，這都是難以解決的問題。截面電子顯微鏡檢查法可以提供此等額外的資訊，但這卻是一種破壞性的過程，且在晶圓廠的環境中通常回應很慢。OCD 能以快速、非破壞性的測量方法來提供比 CD-SEM 更多的結構資訊，更適用於現今較複雜的 3D 半導體結構，這便是 OCD 的優勢。
