摘要： An implantable radiation therapy device includes a biocompatible radiotranslucent outer capsule containing a radiation shielding element and a radioactive isotope at least partially shielded by the shielding element. When the device is at or below body temperature, radiation is prevented or limited from being transmitted through the outer capsule by the shielding element. When non-ambient energy is applied to the device, the shielding element and radioactive isotope are reconfigured such that an increased level of radiation is transmitted through the outer capsule and emitted by the device.

摘要： A portable, self-contained, electronic radioscopic imaging system uses a pulsed X-ray source, a remote X-ray sensor, and a self-contained, display and controller unit to produce, store, and/or display digital radioscopic images of an object under investigation. The pulsed X-ray source transmits a burst of narrow pulses of X-rays at the object being investigated at a low repetition rate. The X-ray sensor utilizes an X-ray scintillating screen in combination with either an integrating CCD camera, or an active matrix of thin film transistors and sample-and-hold photodiodes, to produce an integrated signal representative of the accumulated number of flashes of radiation (X-ray pulses that pass through the object) that are sensed in a given pixel area of the scintillating screen. The self-contained display and controller unit utilizes digital signal processing within an enhanced portable computer, including a flat solid state display panel and associated drive circuitry, in order to display the full dynamic range and resolution of the sensor. A modem allows the digitized image to be sent to a remote location where the exact same image can be recreated for analysis by off-site experts.

摘要： To generate data for color pixels in an image, Bayer symmetric interleaved exposures can more evenly spread the long exposure pixels in the vertical direction and produce a higher dynamic range by having pixels with different exposure times interleaved within different rows. Long and short exposure pixels can be interleaved across two adjacent rows to form 4 pixel wide by 2 pixel tall blocks that are repeated across a Bayer pattern color array. In each block, the first row can be three long and one short exposure pixel; and the second row can be three short and one long exposure pixel. The long exposure pixels can form an “L” shaped pattern rotated 90 degrees clockwise; and the short exposure pixels can form an “L” shaped pattern rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Subsequent rows of the blocks may be offset horizontally to form diagonal bands of long and short exposure pixels.

摘要翻译： 为了生成图像中的彩色像素的数据，拜耳对称交错曝光可以在垂直方向上更均匀地展开长曝光像素，并通过在不同的行内具有交错的不同曝光时间的像素产生更高的动态范围。 长和短曝光像素可跨越两个相邻的行进行交织以形成跨越Bayer图案颜色阵列重复的4像素×2像素高的块。 在每个块中，第一行可以是三个长和一个短曝光像素; 并且第二行可以是三个短和一个长曝光像素。 长曝光像素可以形成顺时针旋转90度的“L”形图案; 并且短曝光像素可以形成逆时针旋转90度的“L”形图案。 块的后续行可以被水平偏移以形成长和短曝光像素的对角线。

摘要： Digital pixel data is obtained from radiographic imaging of one or more objects, and corresponds to an imaged area containing a feature to be measured. A data profile for a region around the measured feature is created from the digital pixel data. A reference profile is then created from the data profile. The reference profile represents an expected data profile for a reference condition of the objects, and accounts for the point spread function of the imager. The difference between the data profile and the reference profile is calculated. Based on that difference, the degree by which the actual condition of the objects varies from the reference condition is determined. The calculated difference can be compared to a lookup table mapping previously calculated differences to degrees of variation from the reference condition. The calculated difference can also be used as an input to an experimentally derived formula.

摘要： A first double pass etalon based spectrometer. In a preferred embodiment a second etalon matched to the first double pass etalon is used to produce extremely precise fringe data. Spectral components of a diffused beam are angularly separated as they are transmitted through an etalon. A retroreflector reflects the transmitted components back through the etalon. Twice transmitted spectral components are directed through a second etalon and focused onto a light detector which in a preferred embodiment is a photo diode array. The spectrometer is very compact producing the extremely precise fringe data permitting bandwidth measurements with precision needed for microlithography for both &Dgr;&lgr;FWHM and &Dgr;&lgr;95%.
