20150362371 | EXTENDED TEMPERATURE MAPPING PROCESS OF A FURNACE ENCLOSURE WITH MULTI-SPECTRAL IMAGE-CAPTURING DEVICE - A process is provided for mapping temperatures in an enclosure. A spectral band for a multi-spectral image-capturing device is selected. An intensity-temperature mapping is generated by performing an intensity-temperature calibration based on an intensity of an image pixel in a field of view (FOV) generated by the multi-spectral image-capturing device, a corresponding temperature measurement, and a selected device setting of the image-capturing device. An emitted radiation is detected based on a first spectral image in the FOV. At least one region is determined whether it is poor responsive, which is underexposed or overexposed, such that an accurate temperature is unable to be estimated based on a temperature value associated with the spectral band. Temperatures of the at least one poor responsive regions are replaced with temperatures from corresponding acceptable regions from at least one other spectral image to provide an extended temperature mapping of the enclosure. | 12-17-2015 |

20120209405 | Artificial Ankle-Foot System with Spring, Variable-Damping, and Series-Elastic Actuator Components - An artificial foot and ankle joint consists of a curved leaf spring foot member having a heel extremity and a toe extremity, and a flexible elastic ankle member that connects the foot member for rotation at the ankle joint. An actuator motor applies torque to the ankle joint to orient the foot when it is not in contact with the support surface and to store energy in a catapult spring that is released along with the energy stored in the leaf spring to propel the wearer forward. A ribbon clutch prevents the foot member from rotating in one direction beyond a predetermined limit position. A controllable damper is employed to lock the ankle joint or to absorb mechanical energy as needed. The controller and sensing mechanisms control both the actuator motor and the controllable damper at different times during the walking cycle for level walking, stair ascent, and stair descent. | 08-16-2012 |

20140045331 | SELF-ALIGNED BARRIER AND CAPPING LAYERS FOR INTERCONNECTS - An interconnect structure for integrated circuits for copper wires in integrated circuits and methods for making the same are provided. Mn, Cr, or V containing layer forms a barrier against copper diffusing out of the wires, thereby protecting the insulator from premature breakdown, and protecting transistors from degradation by copper. The Mn, Cr, or V containing layer also promotes strong adhesion between copper and insulators, thus preserving the mechanical integrity of the devices during manufacture and use, as well as protecting against failure by electromigration of the copper during use of the devices and protecting the copper from corrosion by oxygen or water from its surroundings. In forming such integrated circuits, certain embodiments of the invention provide methods to selectively deposit Mn, Cr, V, or Co on the copper surfaces while reducing or even preventing deposition of Mn, Cr, V, or Co on insulator surfaces. Catalytic deposition of copper using a Mn, Cr, or V containing precursor and an iodine or bromine containing precursor is also provided. | 02-13-2014 |
