    摘要: Methods and systems are provided which are adapted to process a microelectronic topography, particularly in association with an electroless deposition process. In general, the methods may include loading the topography into a chamber, closing the chamber to form an enclosed area, and supplying fluids to the enclosed area. In some embodiments, the fluids may fill the enclosed area. In addition or alternatively, a second enclosed area may be formed about the topography. As such, the provided system may be adapted to form different enclosed areas about a substrate holder. In some cases, the method may include agitating a solution to minimize the accumulation of bubbles upon a wafer during an electroless deposition process. As such, the system provided herein may include a means for agitating a solution in some embodiments. Such a means for agitation may be distinct from the inlet/s used to supply the solution to the chamber.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for measuring and compensating the effects of eddy currents induced during NMR imaging operations. A cubic or cylindrical sample is placed in the imaging volume of a MRI system at a position centrally located with respect to the main magnetic field and oriented with its longitudinal axis parallel to a desired measuring direction. A magnetic field gradient pulse is applied for inducing eddy currents as well as for generating a slice-selective spin-echo signal. The spin-echo signal is acquired immediately after the termination of each eddy-current inducing gradient pulse. Two slices are selected along the desired measurement direction at symmetrical equal distance from the center of the main magnetic field. Two spin-echo signals are acquired for each slice with the polarity of the eddy-current inducing gradient pulse reversed between the two echo signals. Quantitative values for eddy-current induced field gradients and B0 oscillations are determined based on the precessing frequencies of the acquired NMR signals. NMR imaging is improved by compensating for eddy currents effects by applying the quantified values of the field gradients and B0 oscillations to set an appropriate pre-emphasis network. Gradient pulses in MRI/MRS pulse sequences may also be selectively pre-distorted or modified to compensate for resulting gradient-switching induced eddy currents. Other aspects of the disclosed method include measuring the time course of gradient switching, altering the pulse sequences to measure eddy currents having long time constants, repeatedly measuring the eddy currents to assist in pre-emphasis adjustments, and measuring EC-induced field gradients and B0 oscillation in the presence of moderately large background field inhomogeneities.

    摘要: Automated multiple step tasks are executed on a computing device to analyze a computer system. A step engine performs a complex task such as troubleshooting, performance analysis, or disaster recovery as defined by an input file. The step engine parses the input file into individual steps and dispatches actions of the steps to another device for execution. The device returns a file with the results of the action. The step engine progresses through the list of steps and generates a log file representative of the actions taken and data collected during performance of the task.
