摘要:
A package that resists creation of particles in a package cavity. A package according to one embodiment of the present invention contains a mechanical device attached to the floor of the package substrate. Epoxy typically is used to attach the device. Electrical connections are provided by bond wires connecting bond pads on the substrate with bond pads on the device. A window is attached to the substrate to form a cavity around the device. A thin masking layer on portions of the package cavity surface prevents the surface from generating particles. The thin masking layer may be any material that resists particle generation. The masking layer on the cavity walls optionally extends out of the cavity and onto the upper surface of the package.

A coating composition comprising a glue, a particulate material and a solvent, which imparts a surface microstructure to a coated object (29) is disclosed. The particulate material projects above the glue line (28) of the coated object creating the microstructure which provides boiling heat transfer enhancement. A horizontally oriented, rectangular surface immersed in FC-72, indicates up to an 85% decrease in incipient superheat, a 70% to 80% reduction in nucleate boiling superheats, and a .about.109% increase in the critical heat flux (CHF), beyond that of the non-painted surface. The enhanced surface heat transfer coefficients are four to nine times higher than those from the reference surface. The coatings are applicable to electronic component surfaces. A coated silicon test chip tested at subcooled (45.degree. C. conditions using FC-72 had heat dissipation rates of .about.100 W/cm.sup.2 at junction temperatures of .about.85.degree. C., and the highest CHF observed was 159 W/cm.sup.2, 224% higher than that from the untreated chip surface at saturated conditions.

One or more techniques and/or systems are described herein for cleaning a portion of a radiographic examination apparatus whereon debris may accumulate. Typically, the portion being cleaned is within a scanning field of the radiographic examination device (e.g., within a portion of the radiographic examination device through which radiation traverses). Activation of a cleaning mechanism, or a portion thereof, may be timed to miss radiation emitted during a scan, and thus not interfere with a scan. Also, the cleaning mechanism, or a portion thereof, may be located so as to not attenuate radiation. If radiation is attenuated by the cleaning mechanism corrective techniques can be implemented to account for such attenuation.

An operation room may comprise both an object scanning apparatus for examining an object using x-ray radiation and an irradiation component for treating an object using particle radiation. A support article upon which the object may reside during (both) the examination and treatment may be configured to rotate about an axis substantially perpendicular to a plane through which x-ray radiation travels, may be configured to tilt with respect to the axis, and/or may be configured to yaw with respect to the axis. In this way, the relative orientation of the support article and the object remain substantially constant during the examination and treatment to facilitate treating a desired area of the object.

Business insurance clients select parameters and/or preferences for monitoring in vehicle fleets using one or more telematics devices. The parameters and/or preferences may comprise an operating characteristic associated with fleet vehicles associated with a business insurance product. Selection and measurement of parameters and/or preferences may result in lower insurance premiums. In one embodiment, an apparatus causes, based on a user selection of at least one of a plurality of menu-selectable options, a remotely programmable memory of at least one monitoring device to store an indication of the monitoring parameters and/or preferences represented by the user selection.

摘要:
One or more techniques and/or systems described herein provide for examining an object (e.g., a tumor in a patient) and subsequently treating the object. The examination and treatment generally occur very close to one another in time, with the patient remaining on a support article (e.g., on a bed or in a chair) during both the examination and the treatment. In this way, a position of the tumor and/or orientation of the tumor relative to the patient is substantially fixed during both the examination and the treatment. In one embodiment, a support article is configured to rotate during the examination and/or treatment. In this way, the object can be examined (e.g., and volumetric data related to the object can be acquired) and/or treated without moving portions of the imaging and/or treatment apparatus, for example.

Systems, methods, and products made by a deposition process are shown and described. A work piece is supported in a main deposition chamber so that the work piece is positioned above each container of deposition material as the container is moved into and out of the deposition chamber. One or more containers are sequentially moved from each of a plurality of auxiliary chambers into and out of the deposition chamber so as to deposit material from each of the containers onto the work piece in a sequential manner.
摘要:
A hybrid MRI-particle-based therapy system can include as components both a particle radiation therapy system configured to apply a charged particle beam to a region of application in a predetermined direction and also a MRI system including a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field in an imaging volume which includes the region of application at the same time that the charged particle beam is applied. The MRI system can be configured with two torroidal magnets or a magnet having apertures to provide access to the region of application for the charged particle beam, and to provide a homogeneous magnetic field in the region of application of the charged particle beam. The particle beam can be positioned to pass through a relatively low-strength portion of the main magnetic B0 field of the MRI system. Related methods of image-guided therapy are also provided by embodiments of the present disclosure.
