Abstract:
A method for preventing wafer surface from bombardment by micro-dust particles during the ion implantation process is disclosed. The method adjusts, in mobile way, the rotation direction of the rotating disk system in association with the inclined direction of the wafer to make the ion-implanting surface, having deep micro-size circuit structure, of the wafer never face the bombardment by the micro-dust particles during the rotation of the rotating disk system. The method includes: adjusting the rotating direction of the rotating disk into clockwise direction when it comes to performing an implantation at positive inclined angle; and adjusting the rotating direction of the rotating disk into counter-clockwise direction when it comes to performing an implantation at negative inclined angle. In this way, the ion-implanting surface of the wafer will never be bombarded by the micro-dust particles.
Abstract:
A backup shift register module having at least two backup shift registers is used to repair a defective main shift-register module. A normally open link is provided between the input of first backup shift register and the input of each odd-numbered main shift register, and between the output of first backup shift register and the input of each even-numbered main shift register. A normally open link is provided between the input of second backup shift register and the input of each even-numbered main shift register, and between the output of second backup shift register and the input of each odd-numbered main shift register. If one main shift register is defective, the input and output of the defective shift register are disconnected from the cascade link, and the normally open links are connected to the input of the defective shift register and the output of the next shift register are connected.

Abstract:
A method, a system and a client of/for rendering a first media type (11) content on a browser (10) on a client (16) with a rendering support from a server (13). The method includes the steps of determining if the first media type content is not suitable for being rendered due to limited resources on the client, and, if this is the case activating a first software component (12) prepared for handling and receiving rendering support from the server, sending, from the client, a link to the first media type content with a request for rendering support; determining, on the server, a second media type content of the received link, wherein the second media type content is suitable for being rendered on the client; transferring the second media type content to the client; and rendering, by the first software component, the second media type content. The method further includes the steps of receiving, by the first software component, a first input event; sending the first input event from the first software component to a second software component (15) on the server; transforming, by the second software component, the received first input event to a third media type content based on the first input event and the second media type content; transferring, by the second software component, the third media type content to the first software component; and rendering the third media type content. This enables for rendering of media types on the browser on the client that the browser was not initially suitable for or did not have system resources for.
Abstract:
A data source apparatus, such as a computer, is connected to a remote device, such as a wireless projector, via a transmission channel, such as a wireless network, so that the remote device shows display images of the data source apparatus. Updated regions of the data source apparatus are detected and analyzed. Corresponding compression methods are then selected according to the characteristics of the updated regions. Then, the updated regions are compressed using the selected compression methods, and the compressed data accompanied by meta data indicating the type of the compression methods and coordinate values of the updated regions are then transmitted to the remote device. Then, the remote device updates its display according to the received data.
