Abstract
There is provided a method comprising: examining the location of one or more feature(s) of the one or more component(s) of a circuit arrangement to determine the displacement of the location of said one or more associated communication contact(s) with respect to a designed location for the communication contact(s), and providing corrective communication path layout data of said circuit arrangement based upon the said displacement(s).
Claims25
A method comprising:
- examining the location of one or more feature(s) of the one or more component(s) of a circuit arrangement to determine the displacement of the location of said one or more associated communication contact(s) with respect to a designed location for the communication contact(s);
- and providing corrective communication path layout data of said circuit arrangement based upon the said displacement(s).
An apparatus comprising:
- an input arranged to receive data relating to an examined location of a feature of the one or more component(s) of a circuit arrangement, said feature relating to the displacement of the location of one or more associated communication contact(s) in relation to a designed location for the contact(s);
- and
- one or more processor(s) arranged to provide corrective conductive path layout data of said circuit arrangement based upon the data relating to the examined location of the feature accordingly.
A method for providing corrective communication path layout data of a circuit arrangement, the circuit arrangement comprising one or more component(s), secured to a support, and associated one or more communication contact(s), to allow for communicative connection of the respective component, the method comprising:
- examining the location of one or more feature(s) of the one or more component(s) to determine the displacement of the location of said one or more associated communication contact(s) with respect to a designed location for the communication contact(s), in which the one or more feature(s) are the one or more communication contact(s) of the component(s), and wherein the examining comprises:
- discriminating between the one or more components and the support in an image to identify the one or more components;
- and
- identifying one or more feature(s) of the one or more identified components to determine the displacement;
- and
- providing corrective communication path layout data based upon the said displacement(s).
A means comprising:
- means for receiving data relating to an examined location of a feature of the one or more component(s) of a circuit arrangement, said feature relating to the displacement of the location of one or more associated communication contact(s) in relation to a designed location for the contact(s);
- and
- means for providing corrective conductive path layout data of the circuit arrangement based upon the data relating to the examined location of the feature accordingly
