Compact ion source neutron generator

Patent Schenkel, Thomas; Persaud, Arun; Kapadia, Rehan; ...

A neutron generator includes a conductive substrate comprising a plurality of conductive nanostructures with free-standing tips and a source of an atomic species to introduce the atomic species in proximity to the free-standing tips. A target placed apart from the substrate is voltage biased relative to the substrate to ionize and accelerate the ionized atomic species toward the target. The target includes an element capable of a nuclear fusion reaction with the ionized atomic species to produce a one or more neutrons as a reaction by-product.

Liquid metal ion source and alloy for ion emission of multiple ionic species

Patent Clark, Jr., William M. (Thousand Oaks, CA); Utlaut, Mark W [Saugus, CA]; Wysocki, Joseph A [Oxnard, CA]; ...

A liquid metal ion source and alloy for the simultaneous ion evaporation of arsenic and boron, arsenic and phosphorus, or arsenic, boron and phosphorus. The ionic species to be evaporated are contained in palladium-arsenic-boron and palladium-arsenic-boron-phosphorus alloys. The ion source, including an emitter means such as a needle emitter and a source means such as U-shaped heater element, is preferably constructed of rhenium and tungsten, both of which are readily fabricated. The ion sources emit continuous beams of ions having sufficiently high currents of the desired species to be useful in ion implantation of semiconductor wafers for preparing integrated circuitmore » « less

Compact laser source with frequency modulators generating multiple lines

Patent Lentine, Anthony L.; Biedermann, Grant; Gehl, Michael; ...

A compact laser source and a single sideband modulator used therein is disclosed. The compact laser source includes a seed laser and one or more channels, with each channel generating one or more output laser beams having corresponding different wavelengths. The compact laser source can be formed in whole or in part on a single optical motherboard to thereby minimize space and power requirements. By employing the disclosed single sideband modulator, harmonics in the generated output laser beams can be minimized. The compact laser source finds application in an atom interferometer (AI) system, which may be used to measure gravity,more » « less

Redirecting data to improve page locality in a scalable data fabric

Patent Blagodurov, Sergey; Landreth, Timothy E.; Lackey, Jr., Stanley Ames; ...

A data processing system includes a host processor, a local memory coupled to the host processor, a plurality of remote memory media, and a scalable data fabric coupled to the host processor and to the plurality of remote memory media. The scalable data fabric includes a filter for storing information indicating a location of data that is stored by the data processing system. The host processor includes a hardware sequencer coupled to the filter for selectively moving data stored by the filter to the local memory.
