20160061723 | FOCUSED BEAM SCATTEROMETRY APPARATUS AND METHOD - The capacity to measure nanoscale features rapidly and accurately is of central importance for the monitoring of manufacturing processes in the production of computer integrated circuits. It is known that far-field scattered light requires a priori sample information in order to reconstruct nanoscale information such as is required in semiconductor metrology. Parameters of interest include, for example, trench depth, duty cycle, wall angle and oxide layer thickness. We describe a scatterometry apparatus and method that uses unconventional polarization states in the pupil of a high NA objective lens, and refer to this as focused beam scatterometry, in which the illumination consists of a focused field with a suitably tailored, spatially-varying polarization distribution. We describe how four or more parameters can be measured and distinguished with an accuracy consistent with the needs laid out in the semiconductor roadmap. | 03-03-2016 |

20120024402 | ONE-WAY CHECK VALVE - A railway car control valve comprises a brake pipe port, an auxiliary reservoir port, a main piston, intermediate the brake pipe port and the auxiliary reservoir port, configured to compare an air pressure supplied at the brake pipe port with an air pressure supplied at the auxiliary reservoir port and a one-way check valve positioned intermediate the brake pipe port and the auxiliary reservoir port. The one way check valve comprises a body having a first end, a second end, and a bore extending from the first end to the second end, an elongated insert defining an outer surface, the insert configured to reduce the rate of air flow through the body, and sleeve received on the insert outer surface. The insert is received in the body bore. One of the insert and the sleeve is configured to move between a first position that allows air to flow in a first direction from the brake pipe port to the auxiliary reservoir, and a second position that prevents air from flowing in a second direction from the auxiliary reservoir port to the brake pipe port. | 02-02-2012 |

20120009938 | CELLULAR LOCATION SYSTEM AND CELLULAR LOCATION METHOD - A cellular location method uses a cellular location system including a database. The cellular location method obtains radio measurements from a user terminal located in the communications network, extracts information from the obtained radio measurements, determines the location of the user terminal based on the extracted information, and stores the determined location of the user terminal and the extracted information as an entry in the database. Additionally, the cellular location method estimates information for the user terminal for another location in the communications network. The estimated information for the user terminal may be based upon the extracted information for the user terminal or upon obtained information from a co-sited communications network. A location of the specified user terminal can be obtained based on a matching score between measurements from the specified user terminal and the stored user terminal measurements including the extracted information and the estimated information. | 01-12-2012 |
20120038513 | CENTRALIZED ANTENNA INTERFACE FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS - An antenna interface system, device, method and program allow access to a centralized antenna interface by establishing connection to a server via a first network connection, wherein the server includes a user interface configured to establish a communication connection between the antenna interface system and the user of the access device. The server also includes one or more antenna control programs which when executed provide the command signals, and a second network connection establishes a communication connection between the server and converters that transmit the command signals from the server to the antennas. Each converter is located in the vicinity of one or more antennas and the antennas are connected to the converters so as to receive the command signals. The command signals are used for making adjustments to and gathering information for antenna parameters of the antennas. | 02-16-2012 |
20120113828 | BEAM-FORMER HUB - A method, program, system and apparatus for implementing programmable radio patterns (i.e. beam-forming) in a wireless communication network are discussed. Beam-forming is performed by weighting data samples to compensate for phase variation and frequency variation introduced by a signal path. The phase variation and frequency variation introduced by a signal path is estimated by correlating stored data and calibration data. The phase variation and frequency variation are compensated for by applying phase and frequency corrections, or weights, to the data so as to equalize the phase variation and t frequency variation of the data. | 05-10-2012 |

20110206064 | HIGH SPEED NETWORK DATA EXTRACTOR - The present invention describes a system and method of extracting and storing data elements from network packets, thus performing the task of data mining. In one embodiment of the present invention incoming packets are decomposed one protocol layer at a time to extract data elements contained in the protocol headers. Layer-specific parsers perform deep packet inspection in order to extract data elements from upper-level protocols. Extracted data is arranged in rows, which are subsequently stored into a memory-based accumulator. After some length of time the accumulator is flushed to disk files. Another process reads the flushed disk files row-by-row, inserting each row into a relational database. Standard SQL operations are performed on the relational database in order to generate and display reports of the collected data. | 08-25-2011 |
