20080311758 | Methods of and apparatus for protecting a region of process exlusion adjacent to a region of process performance in a process chamber - Apparatus and methods protect a central process exclusion region of a substrate during processing of an edge environ region of process performance. Removal of undesired materials is only from the edge environ region while the central device region is protected from damage. Field strengths are configured to protect the central region from charged particles from plasma in a process chamber and to foster removal of the undesired materials from only the edge environ region. A magnetic field is configured with a peak value adjacent to a border between the central and edge environ regions. A strong field gradient extends from the peak radially away from the border and away from the central region to repel the charged particles from the central region. The strength and location of the field are adjustable by axial relative movement of magnet sections, and flux plates are configured to redirect the field for desired protection. | 12-18-2008 |

20120139342 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING AN UNREGULATED DORMANT MODE WITH OUTPUT RESET IN A POWER CONVERTER - An implementation of an unregulated dormant mode with an output reset controller in a power converter is disclosed. An example method for controlling an output of a power converter includes generating a drive signal with a drive signal generator to regulate a flow of energy to one or more loads coupled to an output of the power converter in response to an energy requirement of the one or more loads.

The energy requirement of the one or more loads is not responded to during the first time period. The drive signal generator is then powered up to resume after the first time period has elapsed the regulation of energy flow to the one or more loads. After the first time period has elapsed, it is identified whether there is an increase in the energy requirement of the one or more loads. If there is the increase in the energy requirement of the one or more loads, the output of the power converter is reset to allow a voltage at the output of power converter to be discharged during a second time period after the first time period has elapsed to a value substantially below a normal regulation output voltage. | 06-07-2012 |

The feedback circuit generates an enable signal and in response, the drive signal generator regulates the output of the power converter. The unregulated dormant mode and output reset control circuit powers down the drive signal generator such that the regulation is ceased when the energy requirement at the output has fallen below a threshold. The drive signal generator is then powered up after a first period of time such that the regulation resumes. The counter then counts cycles of a clock signal for which the enable signal indicates an increase in the energy requirement at the output. The counter disables the drive signal generator when a count of the counter reaches a threshold number to discharge the output to less than a regulation output voltage value. | 06-06-2013 |

The system and method of the present invention enable an accurate personalized assessment to be generated for every individual interacting with the system. Once acquired, the facts of the individual's blood type and Ayurvedic core constitution are analyzed automatically by the database to identify a subset of potential health risks and weaknesses within the primary physical and emotional systems of the individual for each potential risk factor for disease that is uncovered in the database. Further, the automatically analyzed database of potential risk factors is used as the search tool for bringing to bear, on the discovery for each potential risk factor identified in each individual, a wealth of health and wellness knowledge that relates to and can be useful for correct and efficient recommendations for each of every individual's potential risks and weaknesses. This collection of information is analyzed to generate a final health risk assessment report of primary physical and emotional systems the individual may need to be aware of, potential risks and weaknesses within those identified systems, and dietary, nutritional and supplemental recommendations to bring into and maintain balance within those identified systems. | 04-08-2010 |

20090096674 | TECHNIQUE FOR MITIGATING MULTIPATH IMPACTS ON AZIMUTH ACCURACY IN A MONOPULSE INTERROGATOR - A method for mitigating multipath impacts on azimuth accuracy in a monopulse interrogator is accomplished by calculating samples of monopulse ratio for samples of antenna boresight angles based on data received from an interrogation of a target. Samples of traditional target azimuth from the samples of monopulse ratio are calculated. A mean of the samples of traditional target azimuth is calculated. An alternative target azimuth from the samples of monopulse ratio is calculated. Whether a multipath signal exists is determined from observing a standard deviation of the samples of traditional target azimuth, and using the mean of the traditional target azimuth if a multipath signal does not exist and using the alternative target azimuth if a multipath signal does exist. | 04-16-2009 |

20090182886 | DELIVERY AND DISPLAY OF INFORMATION OVER A DIGITAL BROADCAST NETWORK - A digital broadcast network is disclosed that can provide information at different frequency repetition rates in order to mitigate delay of information at a receiving device. A data stream can be divided into sets of data and depending on how each set of data will be consumed by a user, respective weights or priorities can be assigned to each set. Based on the weight or priority, at least one set of data can repeat more frequently within the data stream than other sets of data. Thus, upon receiving the data stream, the set of data repeated more frequently can be rendered on a user device at substantially the same time as the information is requested. Assigning a more frequent repetition rate of certain sets of data allows the receiving device to quickly obtain and render more important data. | 07-16-2009 |

20080282112 | Method and apparatus for testing request-response service using live connection traffic - The subject matter herein provides for a method and apparatus for comparison of network systems using live traffic in real-time. The inventive technique presents real-world workload in real-time with no external impact (i.e. no impact on the system under test), and it enables comparison against a production system for correctness verification. A preferred embodiment of the invention is a testing tool for the pseudo-live testing of CDN content staging servers, According to the invention, traffic between clients and the live production CDN servers is monitored by a simulator device, which then replicates this workload onto a system under test (SUT). The simulator detects divergences between the outputs from the SUT and live production servers, allowing detection of erroneous behavior. To the extent possible, the SUT is completely isolated from the outside world so that errors or crashes by this system do not affect either the CDN customers or the end users. Thus, the SUT does not interact with end users (i.e., their web browsers). Consequently, the simulator serves as a proxy for the clients. By basing its behavior off the packet stream sent between client and the live production system, the simulator can simulate most of the oddities of real-world client behavior, including malformed packets, timeouts, dropped traffic and reset connections, among others. | 11-13-2008 |

The invention can achieve these goals by making use of the cache built in to standard web browsers. In one embodiment, the invention provides that a web application user will use their browser to request a page from the application web server, which responds with a small page that includes a script. The script appends a previously established cookie value to the URL originally requested and the browser then re-requests the URL with the appended cookie value. (The server computes the cookie value based on the last modified time of the data used to generate the page.) If the most recent version of the page is in the browser cache, the browser gets a cache hit, which means the page is retrieved from browser cache rather than from the server, rapidly displaying the page to the user. If, on the other hand, there is only an older version of the page in the browser cache, there is a cache miss (because the rewritten URL will not match any URL in the cache) and the browser will send the request to the server to retrieve the most recent version of the page. | 09-29-2011 |
