| 20110063190 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AZIMUTH BEAMWIDTH ACROSS A WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE - A system and method for providing a compact azimuth beamwidth in a wide band antenna. The system comprises a first radiating element disposed above a ground plane and one or more parasitic elements disposed proximate to and/or around the first radiating element. Each of the parasitic elements has a slot formed therein that is configured to control beamwidth across a specific frequency range. In one embodiment, the parasitic elements and the slots can be configured to control beamwidth across different frequency ranges. And in another embodiment, another parasitic element is disposed within the slots to control beamwidth across another frequency range. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20110038523 | IMAGE SEGMENTATION - A method for classifying pixels in an image, e.g. a microscopy image, as being associated with a feature of interest has been described. A color brightfield microscopy image represented by color values for an array of pixels is conventionally obtained. The image is over-segmented based on the color values to provide a plurality of groups of contiguous pixels with related color values, whereby a typical feature of interest will be represented by multiple segments. A list of pairs of segments which are adjacent to one another in the image is generated, and a difference in average color value between the segments comprising each pair is determined. Pairs of adjacent segments are then selectively joined together to form a joined segment to replace the corresponding pair of segments in the list if pre-defined joining criteria are met. The pairs are considered for joining in an order based on their respective differences in average color value. Pixels are then classified as being associated with the feature of interest based on the segments following the selective joining. Segmentation information indicating the pixels classified as being associated with the feature of interest is thus provided. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20080248288 | Semiconductor Materials and Methods of Producing Them - A method of producing particles containing metal oxide for use in semiconductor devices includes the steps of heating metal-containing particles in a flame produced by a mixture of oxygen and a fuel component comprising at least one combustible gas selected from hydrogen and hydrocarbons, the oxygen being present in the mixture in a proportion of not less than 10 mole % below, and not more than 60 mole % above, a stoichiometric amount relative to the fuel component, so as to oxidize metal in at least an outer shell of the particles; cooling the oxidized particles by feeding them into a liquid or sublimable solid medium; collecting the cooled oxidized particles; and providing a distance between entry of the particles into the flame and collection of the particles of at least 300 mm. In this manner, such particles may be oxidized so as to provide a shell of metal oxide material which leaving unoxidized a core of metal. A semiconductive layer of such particles on a substrate may be formed by feeding, to a hot zone, such preoxidized metal-containing particles; heating the metal-containing particles in the hot zone to render the particles at least partially molten; and depositing the particles in the at least partially molten state onto the substrate. The above oxidation process may be employed to provide metal oxide particles in which different respective metals having different respective valencies are present in different respective molar proportions. The valencies and molar proportions may be selected so as to provide n- or p-type semiconductor layers. | 10-09-2008 |
