Increased tool utilization/reduction in mwbc for UV curing chamber

A pump liner is used to direct a laminar flow of purge gas across a workpiece to remove contaminants or species outgassed or otherwise produced by the workpiece during processing. The pump liner can take the form of a ring having a plurality of injection ports, such as slits of a variety of shapes and / or sizes, opposite a plurality of receiving ports in order to provide the laminar flow. The flow of purge gas is sufficient to carry a contaminant or outgassed species from the processing chamber in order to prevent the collection of the contaminants on components of the chamber. The pump liner can be heated, via conduction and irradiation from a radiation source, for example, in order to prevent the condensation of species on the liner. The pump liner also can be anodized or otherwise processed in order to increase the emissivity of the liner.

The invention discloses a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path determination method and apparatus for reconstructing a three-dimensional model, the method comprising the steps of: constructing a three-dimensional point model forming an outline of a captured building; determining a photographing points of a flight path of the UAV around the building so that a camera on the UAV can capture a corresponding point set covering the three-dimensional point model at each photographing point and the overlap ratio of the point sets captured by the camera at adjacent photographing points is greater than an overlap ratio threshold; instructing the UAV to fly along the flight path and instructing the camera to photograph the building at corresponding photographing points. The method can calculate minimum photographing point sets satisfying a three-dimensional reconstruction requirement just by acquiring the height and the two-dimensional orthograph of a three-dimensional reconstructed target, so as to provide guidance for a three-dimensional reconstruction data acquisition process, to ensure that the acquired images meet the three-dimensional reconstruction requirement, to avoid the collection of redundant image information, and to improve the efficiency of the three-dimensional reconstruction process.

The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for accurate noninvasive determination of tissue properties. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise an optical sampler having an illumination subsystem, adapted to communicate light having a first polarization to a tissue surface; a collection subsystem, adapted to collect light having a second polarization communicated from the tissue after interaction with the tissue; wherein the first polarization is different from the second polarization. The difference in the polarizations can discourage collection of light specularly reflected from the tissue surface, and can encourage preferential collection of light that has interacted with a desired depth of penetration or path length distribution in the tissue. The different polarizations can, as examples, be linear polarizations with an angle between, or elliptical polarizations of different handedness.
