    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a structure function monitor provide for generation of parameters characterizing a refractive medium. In an embodiment, a structure function monitor acquires images of a pupil plane and an image plane and, from these images, retrieves the phase over an aperture, unwraps the retrieved phase, and analyzes the unwrapped retrieved phase. In an embodiment, analysis yields atmospheric parameters measured at spatial scales from zero to the diameter of a telescope used to collect light from a source.

    Abstract: A method of determining individual velocity associated with one or more molecular species moving through a fluid medium involves obtaining multiple temporal images of the one or more species moving through the medium, analyzing the temporal images using multivariate image analysis to obtain temporal profiles of principal components, and determining individual velocity of the one or more species using the temporal profiles. Multiple species can be identified using the one or more individual velocities or ratio thereof.

    Abstract: The present invention includes methods for the reduction of speckle noise in an image and methods for segmenting an image. Each of the methods disclosed herein includes steps for analyzing the uniformity of a pixel within a plurality of pixels forming a portion of the image and, based on the uniformity of the intensity of the plurality of pixels, adjusting and/or replacing the pixel in order to produce a speckle-noise reduced image, a segmented image, or a segmented and speckle-noise reduced image. The methods of the present invention can employ for example conditional probability density functions, nonlinear estimator functions, convex energy functions and simulated annealing algorithms in the performance of their respective steps.

    Abstract: An “eggbeater” cathode comprising a transparent cathode including a plurality of longitudinally oriented cathode strips anchored at both ends between support discs and forming an open-walled hollow cylindrical structure. A cathode base is disposed substantially coaxially with a longitudinal axis of the transparent cathode and surrounded by the plurality of cathode strips, wherein the support discs secure the cathode strips to the cathode base and result in a cathode that is more robust in harsh operating environments compared with a simple transparent cathode.

    Abstract: The present invention is a system and methods of establishing a Melanocyte Protection Factor (MPF), which indicates the level of protection against DNA damage to a target cell, such as the level of protection a particular sunscreen offers against UVA rays when compared to the unprotected case, i.e., no sunscreen. The present invention determines and records levels of stable melanin radicals (SMR) in a target cell. Light is applied to the target cell forming light-induced melanin radicals (LIR). The levels of SMR and intensity of LIR are measured to determine the amount of incident light reaching the target cell. Since LIR is proportional to the square root of light intensity reaching the target cell, the ratio of light reaching the target cell is defined as the MPF: MPF = UV ⁢ ⁢ reaching ⁢ ⁢ melanocyte without ⁢ ⁢ sunscreen UV ⁢ ⁢ reaching ⁢ ⁢ melanocyte with ⁢ ⁢ sunscreen = [ SMR + screen LIR + UV + screen ] 2 [ SMR control LIR ⁢ + UV ⁢ ⁢ control ] 2 .

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide optical systems and methods for producing interferometric lithography (IL) patterns with circular symmetry for applications such as memory devices including CD ROMs, DVDs, magnetic hard disk storage, and the like. Specifically, one or more axicon optics can be configured in the optical systems for IL patterning processes to form a uniform set of rings with constant increment in all directions in a developed photoresist. In an exemplary embodiment, the optical system can transform a first portion of a plane wave into a radial symmetric wave with a constant angle of incidence onto a photoresist plane of a wafer. This radial symmetric wave can then interfere with a second portion of the plane wave incident but with a different angle of incidence to produce a periodic spatially-varying intensity pattern with circular symmetry.
