Conversion of an ARTM (Acoustics Requirements Translation Model) and user manual development were successfully completed as well as ARTM upgrade including export of data to plotting program and setting default directories. |
| The application performs winding test such as AC and DC Hipot, Resistance, Surge and Rotation Direction tests. PSA developed the GUI and IPC components to decouple the GUI from the control system. The IPC component handled the message communication between the control system and the GUI. The design of the IPC used a concept called Notifiers. Notifiers connect objects indirectly, replacing pointers and direct functions calls. Since they're anonymous, notifiers reveal nothing about the implementation, interface, or even the existence of the connected objects, leaving them independent of one another. By reducing IPC dependencies this approach reduced application complexity. |
| This is a computer telephony IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system which automated notifications to the end customer's clients. Based on an earlier version developed by PSA, this system expanded the previous single line capability to a seven line simultaneous outbound call system. A single line is dedicated for inbound calls to preview and record custom messages. The IVR system has direct dial capabilities, ability to leave messages, share messages for greeting and signoff, and record the status of each call within a Progress database. |

| The Community application is a client-server application. During the project PSA performed design and implementation of a cross platform GUI for a client-server application that was originally written in Microsoft Visual Basic. |
| This project is about implementation of remote command and control services for a convection reflow system used in the manufacturing of circuit boards. PSA implemented the remote control of the system via serial communications and a communication library. As a part of implementation for remote control of the system, PSA was responsible for receiving, interpreting, and performing all operations for commands sent to the convection reflow system. In addition to the receiving of commands from a remote system, we also added facilities for sending status information back to the remote system. To test the implementation of the remote command/control configuration, we created a test application for utilization by the end user. That application provides tests for all connections between the remote system and the convection reflow system. |
| PSA reconstructed the reflow software program's GUI (Graphical User Interface) and developed an IPC (Inter Process Communication) component to decouple the GUI from the control system. The IPC component handled the message communication between the control system and the GUI. The design of the IPC used a concept called Notifiers. Notifiers connect objects indirectly, replacing pointers and direct functions calls. Because they're anonymous, notifiers reveal nothing about the implementation, interface, or even the existence of the connected objects, leaving them independent of one another. By reducing IPC dependencies this reduced application complexity. |
| The Data from field engineer's hand held control modules are imported into the Data Analysis Software via modem or direct RS232 connection. Once the data is imported a variety of reports and analyses can be generated and performed. During this project PSA assisted in the conversion of the environmental data analysis software from DOS platform using Zinc 4.2 to Microsoft Windows 95 platform using Zinc 5.2. PSA converted the Zinc class library to the newer version and resolved incompatible elements issues. PSA ported the application from DOS to Windows 95 by resolving Zinc portability problems, platform dependent code optimization, and third party library issues resolution. |

The implanters are running the full suite of the Implanter Control System software, which includes the INO server. The INO server software accommodates a fixed number of INO client connections and sends each client workstation the implanter Operator Interface screens. The INO application is a client for two different types of servers running on the implanter systems. Each server has a unique communication port and defined communication sequence. This application must respond to user events created through interaction with graphical objects and then communicate with the appropriate server. |
| The project objective was to assist in adding Zinc Unicode support to an environment using PharLap 32 bit TNT DOS Extender with Microsoft C++ Compiler to the ZAF 4.2 Engine and 4.2 DOS key. Using Zincs' Unicode functionality, PSA incorporated the support for internationalization within the target environment. |
| The Media logging application is a film editing tool and was designed as both stand-alone and a library. Using Zinc, PSA designed and developed the GUI to run on Windows NT platform. Zinc was used to allow future plans to provide cross platform support. The application included graphical sorting of film clips, classifying tools, timeline based picture and sound placement tools for rough editing. |
| The Outbound Calling System is a notification system that automates the process of transmitting messages. PSA designed and developed an Outbound calling system. This task was accomplished by reading a Microsoft SQL database input file. This file contained the telephone number to call and type of message to leave. If the call is successful (live person or answering machine is detected) in leaving the message, it writes the success to a log file, and moves on to the next record. If, for some reason, the service is not able to leave a message, it will retry until it successfully leaves a message, or it tries a total of 3 times for that record. If it reaches the maximum number of retries, it writes the call as unsuccessful to the log file and moves to the next record. |
| This Action Alerts Notification application is an outbound IVR (Interactive Voice Response) service which calls a group of people and informs them of an important issue to them and NACA (customer) and then solicits an action. The service is used as meeting notification system that informs persons about Neighborhood Stabilization meetings. |

| This application allowed operators and plant management to view, monitor, and control semiconductor manufacturing equipment in their facility from any authorized remote workstation. PSA provided a means of monitoring and controlling a specified industrial tool from a remote workstation. One important aspect of this project was that the workstation and the tool can be running with either SunOS or Solaris operating systems. Using Java as the cross platform environment, PSA developed a complete graphical user interface (GUI), client functions and list maintenance functions. |
| Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a software option which allows users of semiconductor manufacturing tools to gather process data over a period of time and use it to analyze and understand machine performance trends. The scope of work included software enhancements to the SPC software, which include adding modifications to the display and printing of graphs, such as adding machine id, date range, and recipe, and adding an X library key/legend to the printout of a chart, changing the resolution of data points. In addition, modifications were made to the alarms and error handling for the SPC software. |
