The present invention includes a method to use a phase modulating micromirror array to create an intensity image that has high image fidelity, good stability through focus and good x-y symmetry. Particular aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.

A multi-chip module instrument controller having various interface and operational capabilities. The controller incorporate a microprocessor and both volatile and non-volatile memories. The controller includes variable analog-to-digital conversion bit depths, with higher bit depths for some applications. Additionally, the controller includes a separately controllable field programmable gate array that acts as a parallel processor with internal or separate external clock. The FPGA preferably includes more than thirty thousand gates (30,000) and adds a freely re-configurable and separately programmable multi-purpose digital system that can run independent of the microprocessor.

Hitless Switching provides a method of delivering data to a remote point in a reliable fashion. However, no guarantee or acknowledgement is provided that data has been written to a remote storage device. This is problematic for remote data mirroring. Apparatus and methods are provided to guarantee that data arriving at a remote terminal is correctly stored. Interaction with hitless switching and remote optical mirroring systems are described.

The present invention provides radiation detectors and related methods, including methods of making radiation detectors and devices, as well as methods of performing radiation detection. A radiation detector includes a first resin coating formed on at least a surface of the substrate and an additional layer, such as a scintillator layer, formed on the resin coating.

In an exemplary aspect, the present invention provides a multi-thread processor including a plurality of hardware threads each of which generates an independent instruction flow, a thread scheduler that outputs a thread selection signal in accordance with a first or second schedule, the thread selection signal designating a hardware thread to be executed in a next execution cycle among the plurality of hardware threads, a first selector that selects one of the plurality of hardware threads according to the thread selection signal and outputs an instruction generated by the selected hardware thread, and an execution pipeline that executes an instruction output from the first selector, wherein when the multi-thread processor is in a first state, the thread scheduler selects the first schedule, and when the multi-thread processor is in a second state, the thread scheduler selects the second schedule.

A system and process for automated text analysis which can be used to identify phrases in reports such as medical reports includes identifying a phrase contained within a text, extracting the phrase from the text, determining a value of the phrase and, in response to the phrase having at least a threshold value, reducing the phrase to a root meaning. In one embodiment, the value of the phrase is assigned via lexicon-based hierarchical decision trees.

A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a division guide groove by applying a laser beam having a wavelength and energy density causing multiphoton absorption to a surface of a substrate having a group III nitride semiconductor layer grown on a major surface thereof; removing deposits from the surface of the substrate by applying a laser beam having the wavelength to the surface of the substrate at energy density causing substantially no multiphoton absorption on the substrate; and dividing the substrate along the division guide groove.

An IP telephone system according to the present invention includes a plurality of communication devices T1, T2 allowed to mutually communicate through a network (IP network); a server for executing a connection starting process of communication between the communication devices, as well as for controlling communication data transmitted and received between the server and the communication devices during the communication between the communication devices; and a data transmission and reception controller for mutually switching, upon input of a predetermined command, a communication mode between a standard communication mode and a power-saving communication mode in a condition that communication connection is established between the communication devices upon execution of the connection starting process. The sound data is transmitted and received between the communication devices and the server in the standard communication mode. Transmission and reception between the communication devices and the server is stopped with respect to the sound data below a predetermined level while being continued with respect to the sound data beyond the predetermined level received in the power saving communication mode.

Methods and systems establish a traffic policy for a personal electronic device based on one or more physical characteristics of the device. In some aspects, a database of traffic policies is maintained. The traffic policies are for accessing a network via a wireless communications link. A network access unit receives a request from a personal electronic device to access the network. The request is analyzed to determine a physical characteristic of the device. A traffic policy is established from the database for the a personal electronic device based, at least in part, on the determined physical characteristic of the device. Transmission of network traffic for the device is then scheduled based at least in part, on the established traffic policy.

A method in forming high-temperature alloy solder standoff in a solder bumping process, such as in injection molded solder molds. The standoffs are formed in an injection molded solder mold, by means of pre-depositing a layer of a metal at select sites, such as some of the cavities which are formed in the surface of the mold, and thereafter, filling the mold cavities with solder, utilizing standard techniques as known in the technology. The particular metal, which is deposited in at least some of the mold cavities, will alloy with the solder during or after transfer, and will result in the formation of a higher temperature alloy solder at select locations in the mold cavities.
