Abstract

Improved multiwire chamber having means for resolving the left/right ambiguity in the location of an ionizing event. The chamber includes a plurality of spaced parallel anode wires positioned between spaced planar cathodes. Associated with each of the anode wires are a pair of localizing wires, one positioned on either side of the anode wire. The localizing wires are connected to a differential amplifier whose output polarity is determined by whether the ionizing event occurs to the right or left of the anode wire.

Left-right canted-cosine-theta magnets

Patent Caspi, Shlomo; Brouwer, Lucas; Wan, Weishi; ...

Disclosed herein are superconducting gantry magnets that include multiple quadrupole winding sections placed in sequence on a curve such that the effective current direction is reversed between sections. This produces alternating quadrupole field regions along the length of the bend whose individual integral strengths can be tuned by the location of the current polarity transitions. A simple transition scheme to reverse the current between sections can be implemented to allow for the use of one continuous winding and power supply. Dipole windings can be included in the superconducting gantry magnets so that the magnets produce superposed dipole and alternating quadrupolemore » « less

Fluid intensifier having a double acting power chamber with interconnected signal rods

Patent Whitehead, John C [Davis, CA]

A fluid driven reciprocating apparatus having a double acting power chamber with signal rods serving as high pressure pistons, or to transmit mechanical power. The signal rods are connected to a double acting piston in the power chamber thereby eliminating the need for pilot valves, with the piston being controlled by a pair of intake-exhaust valves. The signal rod includes two spaced seals along its length with a vented space therebetween so that the driving fluid and driven fluid can't mix, and performs a switching function to eliminate separate pilot valves. The intake-exhaust valves can be integrated into a singlemore » « less

Identification and assignment of rotational spectra using artificial neural networks

Patent Prozuments, Kirills; Zaleski, Daniel P.

A method of identifying molecular parameters may include receiving observed transition frequencies, generating transition frequency sets and a spectral parameter sets, training one or more artificial neural networks by analyzing the transition frequency sets and the spectral parameter sets, analyzing the observed transition frequencies using the one or more trained artificial neural networks to predict estimated spectral parameters, and identifying molecular parameters by analyzing the estimated spectral parameters. A molecular parameter identification system may include a rotational spectrometer, a user interface, and a spectrum analysis application that may retrieve observed transition frequencies, identify a Hamiltonian type by a neural networkmore » « less

Spiral biasing adaptor for use in Si drift detectors and Si drift detector arrays

Patent Li, Zheng; Chen, Wei

A drift detector array, preferably a silicon drift detector (SDD) array, that uses a low current biasing adaptor is disclosed. The biasing adaptor is customizable for any desired geometry of the drift detector single cell with minimum drift time of carriers. The biasing adaptor has spiral shaped ion-implants that generate the desired voltage profile. The biasing adaptor can be processed on the same wafer as the drift detector array and only one biasing adaptor chip/side is needed for one drift detector array to generate the voltage profiles on the front side and back side of the detector array.

Method and apparatus for inducing turbulent flow of a processing chamber cleaning gas

Patent Chung, Hua; Dong, Xizi; Maung, Kyawwin Jason; ...

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to apparatus and methods for cleaning chamber components using a cleaning plate. The cleaning plate is adapted to be positioned on a substrate support during a cleaning process, and includes a plurality of turbulence-inducing structures. The turbulence-inducing structures induce a turbulent flow of cleaning gas while the cleaning plate is rotated during a cleaning process. The cleaning plate increases the retention time of the cleaning gas near the showerhead during cleaning. Additionally, the cleaning plate reduces concentration gradients within the cleaning plate to provide a more effective clean. The method includes positioning a cleaningmore » « less
