    摘要: A combiner for optical beams includes a substrate overlaid by a multi-layer dielectric film stack. The substrate is a clear material and the dielectric film stack is a series of alternating layer of high and low refractive index. This gives the combiner relatively high reflectivity across UV wavelengths and relatively high transmissivity in the visible and longer wavelengths and allows visible light to pass through the combiner while UV light is reflected. At the same time dielectric film stack has minimal absorption and scatter. This means that the intensity of visible light maintains at least 90% of its intensity as it passes through combiner and UV light retains at least 90% of its intensity as it is reflected by combiner.

    摘要: The present invention provides for a method of and apparatus for compressing and uncompressing image data. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method of compressing a color cell comprises the steps of: defining at least four luminance levels of the color cell; generating a bitmask for the color cell, the bitmask having a plurality of entries each corresponding to a respective one of the pixels, each of the entries for storing data identifying one of the luminance levels associated with a corresponding one of the pixels; calculating a first average color of pixels associated with a first one of the luminance levels; calculating a second average color of pixels associated with a second one of the luminance levels; and storing the bitmask in association with the first average color and the second average color. In one embodiment, the color cell includes a matrix of 4×4 pixels, the bitmask includes 32-bits and each of the color values includes 16-bits such that a compression rate of 4-bits per pixel is achieved. The present invention is particularly applicable to compress texture data such that the texture data can be more efficiently cached and moved during texture mapping. In that embodiment, the present invention can also support the compression of luminance, intensity and alpha textures.

    摘要: An optical filter for the selective attenuation of specific wavelengths of light includes at least one spectrally dispersive element, such as a diffraction grating or prism, in combination with an optical filter. A dispersive element separates broadband light into a constituent wavelength spread in angle space. An optical filter, or filter array, can block and/or attenuate specific wavelengths or wavelength ranges of interest while the light is angularly dispersed. A second dispersive element can recombine this filtered, separated wavelength fan of light into a coaxial broadband beam having a smoother intensity profile than the unfiltered beam.

A stick provides two ends and has a second coefficient of thermal expansion. A fiber Bragg grating provides two ends and has effective third coefficient of thermal expansion. One stick end is fixed to one grating end, the other stick end is fixed to one attachment location, and the other grating end is fixed to the other attachment location. The stick has a same cross-section area along its length that is equal to or less than the cross-section area of the grating.

    摘要: An infrared filter for an optical metrology tool includes a substrate having film stacks on opposing surfaces thereof. A first film stack can be used to reflect ultra-violet radiation and transmit radiation at non-ultraviolet wavelengths. The second film stack can be used to reflect visible to near-infrared radiation and transmit infrared radiation. The combination of film stacks can therefore extract infrared radiation from a broadband beam, with the remaining ultra-violet radiation and visible to near-infrared radiation forming the product of the filter. The filter can be used as part of the illumination or collection side optics in a broadband optical metrology tool.

    摘要: A method for forming a mechanically strengthened feature in a low-k dielectric film on a substrate includes using either spin-on-dielectric (SOD) techniques, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques to form a low-k dielectric film on the substrate. A sidewall of the feature in the low-k dielectric film is then treated in order to increase the film's mechanical strength. Treatment of the sidewall of the feature in the low-k dielectric film comprises forming a hardened layer by subjecting the low-k dielectric film to low energy, high flux ion implantation. Process parameters of the ion implantation are selected such that the implantation process does not cause a substantial change in the dielectric constant of the low-k dielectric film.

    摘要: An over-current protection device has the characteristic of resistance tripping at least two times. Regarding the aspect of assembly, the over-current protection device is a laminate including a layer of PTC conductive material, an upper electrode foil and a lower electrode foil. As to the aspect of three-dimensional structure, the over-current protection device comprises a laminate and a first protrusion sticking out of the laminate, and the first protrusion forms an open empty room sunk in the laminate. By controlling the geometry and dimensions of the first protrusion, the relation between temperature and resistance of the over-current protection device can be adjusted.

    摘要: An improved control and monitoring system for managing more than one computer system using a witch with a single connector for keyboard, video and mouse signals for each computer being managed. A notebook style display, keyboard, and pointing device attached to the switch provide a human interface. Each computer is attached to the switch using a cable having a single connector at the attachment point to the switch and separate connectors for keyboard, video, and pointing device signals at the attachment point to each computer, thus allowing a greater density of connections to computers without modifying the computers being controlled and monitored. Even greater densities may be realized by designating one switch as a master and attaching additional switches to the master.
