摘要： Various aspects of the invention provide improved approaches and methods for efficiently: Vaporizing decaborane and other heat-sensitive materials via a novel vaporizer and vapor delivery system; Delivering a controlled, low-pressure drop flow of vapors, e.g. decaborane, into the ion source; Ionizing the decaborane into a large faction of B10Hx+; Preventing thermal dissociation of decaborane; Limiting charge-exchange and low energy electron-induced fragmentation of B10Hx+; Operating the ion source without an arc plasma, which can improve the emittance properties and the purity of the beam; Operating the ion source without use of a strong applied magnetic field, which can improve the emittance properties of the beam; Using a novel approach to produce electron impact ionizations without the use of an arc discharge, by incorporation of an externally generated, broad directional electron beam which is aligned to pass through the ionization chamber to a thermally isolated beam dump; Providing production-worthy dosage rates of boron dopant at the wafer; Providing a hardware design that enables use also with other dopants, especially using novel hydride, dimer-containing, and indium- or antimony-containing temperature-sensitive starting materials, to further enhance the economics of use and production worthiness of the novel source design and in many cases, reducing the presence of contaminants; Matching the ion optics requirements of the installed base of ion implanters in the field; Eliminating the ion source as a source of transition metals contamination, by using an external and preferably remote cathode and providing an ionization chamber and extraction aperture fabricated of non-contaminating material, e.g. graphite, silicon carbide or aluminum; Enabling retrofit of the new ion source into the ion source design space of existing Bernas source-based ion implanters and the like or otherwise enabling compatibility with other ion source designs; Using a control system in retrofit installations that enables retention of the installed operator interface and control techniques with which operators are already familiar; Enabling convenient handling and replenishment of the solid within the vaporizer without substantial down-time of the implanter; Providing internal adjustment and control techniques that enable, with a single design, matching the dimensions and intensity of the zone in which ionization occurs to the beam line of the implanter and the requirement of the process at hand; Providing novel approaches, starting materials and conditions of operation that enable the making of future generations of semiconductor devices and especially CMOS source/drains and extensions, and doping of silicon gates.

摘要： Systems and methods for analyzing the performance of a digital network include capturing a stream of digital data, e.g., internet protocol (IP) packets, that represent streaming video, identifying which of the IP packets include bit errors, determining to which of a plurality of pixels the IP packets including bit errors belong and identifying such pixels as corrupted pixels, and illuminating only the corrupted pixels on a display of a tool. Corrupted pixels in different time blocks can be displayed with different colors to gain a better appreciation of the bit error rate over time.

摘要： Systems and methods for blind brazing a joining layer positioned between two workpieces. A radiation source emits radiation through one of the workpieces onto the joining layer. The radiation source emits radiation at a wavelength absorbed by the joining layer but not substantially absorbed by the workpiece material. In one embodiment, workpieces are heated to a predicted operating temperature prior to emitting radiation onto the joining layer.

摘要： Disclosed is an apparatus for preventing a collision between a vehicle and an end of a Metal Beam Guide Fence. A transition device is attached to a modified section of the Metal Beam Guide Fence. The transition device and modified section are configured to allow passage of cables of a High Tension Cable Barrier through the Metal Beam Guide Fence and the transition device. The High Tension Cable Barrier redirects the colliding vehicle away from the end of the Metal Beam Guide Fence. The transition device and modified section are also configured to interact with the cables of the High Tension Cable Barrier to transfer and spread the collision load from the high tension cables to the Metal Beam Guide Fence.

摘要： Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable media, and mechanisms, for matching items with resources, such as, but not limited to packet processing contexts, output links, memory, storage, specialized hardware or software, compute cycles, or any other entity. One implementation includes means for maintaining distribution groups of items, means for maintaining differently aged resources queues, and means for matching resources identified as being at the head of the plurality of differently aged resources queues and as being primarily and secondarily associated with said distribution groups based on a set of predetermined criteria. For example, even though processing contexts can be shared among different distribution groups of packets, by giving preference to assigning recently used processing contexts for processing packets of a same distribution group, it is more likely that the processing instructions are already in the memory of this processing context, and therefore, processing will not be delayed until such instructions are retrieved into memory.

摘要： A network processor has numerous novel features including a multi-threaded processor array, a multi-pass processing model, and Global Packet Memory (GPM) with hardware managed packet storage. These unique features allow the network processor to perform high-touch packet processing at high data rates. The packet processor can also be coded using a stack-based high-level programming language, such as C or C++. This allows quicker and higher quality porting of software features into the network processor. Processor performance also does not severely drop off when additional processing features are added. For example, packets can be more intelligently processed by assigning processing elements to different bounded duration arrival processing tasks and variable duration main processing tasks. A recirculation path moves packets between the different arrival and main processing tasks. Other novel hardware features include a hardware architecture that efficiently intermixes co-processor operations with multi-threaded processing operations and improved cache affinity.

摘要： The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for timing calibration in a PET scanner. According to one embodiment, the invention relates to a method for timing calibration in a PET scanner having a plurality of scintillator blocks. The method comprises: detecting, in a first scintillator block, a first radiation event, wherein the first scintillator block time-stamps the first radiation event; detecting, in a second scintillator block that is adjacent to the first scintillator block, a second radiation event that corresponds to the first radiation event, wherein the second scintillator block time-stamps the second radiation event; and determining a timing characteristic of the first scintillator block with respect to the second scintillator block based on a comparison between the time-stamps of the first radiation event and the second radiation event.
