Embodiments of the present invention address delivery of content, including advertising, in an online or networked digital environment. Undesirable content or content that needs to be removed from the digital environment may be eliminated through invocation of a ‘kill switch’ that terminates further delivery of the aforementioned content. The ‘kill switch’ may also eliminate certain instantiations of that content already delivered to end-user client devices. In order to lessen the need for termination of content following delivery to the digital environment, content developers and content providers may view content scheduled for delivery in digital environment ‘mock ups’ prior to actual delivery. Content developers and content providers, too, may control certain attributes related to content scheduled for delivery to further obviate post-delivery termination or modification.

A method of calibrating excore detectors for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) includes: measuring peripheral core flux signals using excore detectors disposed at a plurality of locations spaced about the periphery of the core, and using the measured power distribution from either a core monitoring system or in-core flux measurement. Calibration of the excore detectors is broken into two parts: (1) the relation between the excore detector signal and weighted peripheral assembly axial offset, and (2) the relation between weighted peripheral assembly axial offset and core average axial offset. Relation (2) can be determined by a representative neutronics model. Accuracy of the neutronics solution is improved by applying nodal calibration factors, which represent the ratio of the measured three-dimensional power distribution to the nodal predicted three-dimensional power distribution and correct the neutronic results to match what would be measured if predictive scenarios were actually performed in the actual reactor core.

A method and apparatus for inspecting a wafer during a semiconductor device fabrication process. The apparatus performs, only via observation from the wafer's top surface, inspection and quantitative evaluation of a portion that is in the shadow of an incident electron beam and a buried structure in the wafer.
