Many semiconductor production and research facilities around the world use the kSA MOS Ultra-Scan and Thermal-Scan systems to measure wafer bow. This is a method to determine the flatness of thin slices of semiconductor material called wafers. Solar cells are often also made from wafers. The Ultra-Scan uses a laser array to map curvature, bow, and stress of these semiconductor wafers. This tool can also be used to measure curvature, bow, and stress of other polished surfaces, such as lenses and optical mirrors. The Thermal-Scan also uses an integrated heating chamber with process gas introduction for thermal stress analysis.

Pit Viper Information
There are various snakes in forests which are as dangerous as would kill man. While browsing I came across Gumprecht's green pit viper and wish my readers to know about this. This striking bright green snake, commonly known as Gumprecht's green pit viper, is found in the Southeast Asian region of Greater Mekong. The serpent, which has the formal name Trimeresurus gumprechti, was first described by scientists in 2002, although he doesn't look like he appreciates having been discovered.
A Cow Help for Temple
A British animal welfare charity said on Saturday that it would donate a cow to a temple north of London, in a bid to repair relations that were damaged last year when a sacred cow was put down. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) said it was apologizing for the "hurt" caused when the 13-year-old Belgian Blue-Jersey cross, Gangotri, was killed last December because it was in pain, but added that it was not apologizing for putting the animal down. Hundreds of Hindus protested outside RSPCA's offices last year, accusing it of secretly killing the animal. The Bhaktivedanata Manor in Hertfordshire, where the cow was housed and which was set up by former Beatle George Harrison, said the RSPCA would donate a Meuse-Rhine Issel cow.
