20080291422 | Light Attenuating Filter for Correcting Field Dependent Ellipticity and Uniformity - Ellipticity in an illumination beam may be corrected by measuring an ellipticity of the illumination beam and substantially eliminating the ellipticity using a light attenuating filter at a defocus position of the illumination beam, wherein the light attenuating filter has a two-dimensional pattern that compensates for ellipticity variations in the illumination beam. The light attenuating filter may stand alone, or the filter may be combined with a uniformity correction system, such that it corrects both uniformity and ellipticity. In one embodiment, the light attenuating filter is printed with an assembly of microscopic dots according to the two-dimensional pattern. | 11-27-2008 |

20130325898 | LARGE-SCALE EVENT EVALUATION USING REALTIME PROCESSORS - Large-scale event processing systems are often designed to perform data mining operations by storing a large set of events in a massive database, applying complex queries to the records of the events, and generating reports and notifications. However, because such queries are performed on very large data sets, the processing of the queries often introduces a significant delay between the occurrence of the events and the reporting or notification thereof. Instead, a large-scale event processing system may be devised as a large state machine organized according to an evaluation plan, comprising a graph of event processors that, in realtime, evaluate each event in an event stream to update an internal state of the event processor, and to perform responses when response conditions are met. The continuous monitoring and evaluation of the stream of events may therefore enable the event processing system to provide realtime responses and notifications to complex queries. | 12-05-2013 |

20100248330 | Flow-Controlling Header - An apparatus and method for holding a membrane, screen or other flexible planar body in tension, while providing a conduit for water or other liquid to flow to the membrane being held. The membrane extends from inside a manifold body that carries the liquid, and the manifold body supports the membrane at one edge while the membrane is pulled in tension. Liquid pressure builds up inside the manifold body, preferably by entering a pressure chamber at the top of the manifold body. At a feeding pressure in the pressure chamber the liquid is distributed to the membrane for microbe growth. The liquid can be elevated to a higher, microbe-harvesting pressure by increasing the pressure in the pressure chamber, thereby deflecting a shim separating the pressure chamber from the membrane. The change in pressure is carried out by manually or automatically opening and closing a conventional water valve. | 09-30-2010 |
