Indexers / Cassette Plates with Size Sensors, with / without door / panel
interlock mechanism and with / without vacuum and UPS sensor control. The
Robot and Prealigner communicates through RS232
(Serial Communication) ports. Sensor control (Pneumatic Arm, Size
Sensor, Vacuum, UPS, Light tower, door/panel interlock) controlled through
device drivers (Adventech). Camera is connected on the network and is
controlled and communicates using Socket
Programming (TCP/IP). The whole applications is based on multithreading to
have parallel execution of controls and use Critical
Sections, Mutex and Semaphore to
avoid collision or overlapping. The application interacts with the user
through MDI MFC GUI, ActiveX Controls and ActiveX Composite Control.
These Controls includes Robot, Prealigner, Camera, Stations Types (Cassette,
Tilters etc.) and Sensor controls and are placed on individual control bar
and then combines on main user interface. This application also uses MS Access for storage of permanent,
configurable and dynamic data. A customized report can be generated on user
request related to wafers in Cassette for label purpose or detail report.
These types of reports were created by using Crystal Report 8.5. This wafer-handling tool is
used for wafers to move from one cassette to another, aligning, ID reading,
sorting and other user specific requirements. This whole application runs in
Auto Mode or in Manual Mode (to work or reset or test individual hardware
device) and SECS/GEM mode. Also run able in Simulation mode
without hardware, to make possible for fast addition, modification, and
robust testing and demo purposes. Main customers for these types of
semiconductor equipment include Applied Materials, HP, Fujitsu, Fairchild
etc.

The goal of the
project is to develop secure communication for Windows 95/98/NT using modem,
which must be done on encrypted procedures. Using Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a card was
designed for encryption of data. This system has its own logging procedure.
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) and routine for sending encrypted data is written by
using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. The code is written with the help of MFC, Win32 API, DLLs and ActiveX
Control. A Phone Book and other related material are maintained in a
database by using Microsoft
Access 97. All updating, modification and deletion in database are done
through GUI created in VC++ 6 by using DAO, ODBC and RDO. All components of the project are created
individually with the help of DLLs, and then connected with the main program act as MDI. The required reports are

Description:
The goal of the
project is to develop a fully functional ‘Domain Security System’ for System Administrator
working on Microsoft Windows
NT.
The system employs a GUI,
which helps the administrator to monitor all the
computers connected on the Network, also he can view the logged on users,
what resources they are using and what application they are running. This
network monitoring system can run locally as well as remotely using Windows sockets on TCP/IP. The
monitoring system also includes multiple intelligent agents for monitoring,
which includes ‘Security
log’,
‘File access’, ‘Printer access’ and ‘Low level disk Access’. The whole
system based on “Rule-Based” inferencing
techniques of Artificial Intelligence. Also when any of the monitoring events
occur, it can be adjusted to send a message to a particular computer just
like a Messenger Service of Windows NT. This system was created at User Level
of Windows NT and developed
by using Allegro
Common Lisp Ver. 3.0.2 as GUI front end, which was used to implement Rule Base
system of AI Technique, and in the background a DLL was used. This DLL was created by using Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1 and executes
different Networking functions called by the front end.
