| 20090157675 | Method and System for Processing Fraud Notifications - Methods and systems for processing fraud notifications allow an organization to classify, monitor, and shut down fraudulent websites. A system may receive reports of suspicious network sites via electronic mail, and parse such reports in order to obtain one or more attributes (e.g., an address) corresponding to the suspicious network sites. In addition, information related to these suspicious network sites may be stored in a database, and algorithms may be used in order to classify, monitor, and respond to a particular suspicious network site. Before responding to a suspicious network site, such a website may first be classified as legitimate, fraudulent or ignore. If the suspicious network site is classified as legitimate or ignore, further action might not be needed. If, however, the suspicious network site is classified as fraudulent, the fraudulent website may be monitored and further action may be taken. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20080308728 | Atom Probes, Atom Probe Specimens, and Associated Methods - The present invention relates generally to atom probes, atom probe specimens, and associated methods. For example, certain aspects are directed toward methods for analyzing a portion of a specimen that includes selecting a region of interest and moving a portion of material in a border region proximate to the region of interest so that at least a portion of the region of interest protrudes relative to at least a portion of the border region. The method further includes analyzing a portion of the region of interest. Other aspects of the invention are directed toward a method for applying photonic energy in an atom probe process by passing photonic energy through a lens system separated from a photonic device and spaced apart from the photonic device. Yet other aspects of the invention are directed toward a method for reflecting photonic energy off an outer surface of an electrode onto a specimen. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090050797 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ATOM PROBE MASS RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT - In an atom probe or other mass spectrometer wherein a specimen is subjected to ionizing pulses (voltage pulses, thermal pulses, etc.) which induce field evaporation of ions from the specimen, the evaporated ions are then subjected to corrective pulses which are synchronized with the ionizing pulses. These corrective pulses have a magnitude and timing sufficient to reduce the velocity distribution of the evaporated ions, thereby resulting in increased mass resolution for the atom probe/mass spectrometer. In a preferred arrangement, ionizing pulses are supplied to the specimen from a first counter electrode adjacent the specimen. The corrective pulses are then supplied from a second counter electrode which is coupled to the first via a passive or active network, with the network controlling the form (timing, amplitude, and shape) of the corrective pulses. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20100116985 | LASER ATOM PROBE METHODS - A laser atom probe situates a counter electrode between a specimen mount and a detector, and provides a laser having its beam aligned to illuminate the specimen through the aperture of the counter electrode. The detector, specimen mount, and/or the counter electrode may be charged to some boost voltage and then be pulsed to bring the specimen to ionization. The timing of the laser pulses may be used to determine ion departure and arrival times allowing determination of the mass-to-charge ratios of the ions, thus their identities. Automated alignment methods are described wherein the laser is automatically directed to areas of interest. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20100282964 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO ALIGN ENERGY BEAM TO ATOM PROBE SPECIMEN - A method for aligning an energy beam to an object in an atom probe is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring at least one parameter indicative of an interaction between the energy beam and the object. A signal is generated in response to the interaction of the energy beam and the object. The signal is then used to effectuate control of the alignment of the energy beam to the object. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100294928 | LASER ATOM PROBES - An atom probe includes a specimen mount that can hold a specimen to be analyzed. A detector is spaced apart from the specimen mount. Between the detector and specimen mount Is a local electrode with an aperture. A laser is oriented to emit a laser beam toward the specimen mount at a nonzero angle with respect to the aperture plane, the aperture plane being oriented perpendicular to an ion travel path defined through the aperture between the specimen mount and detector. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20090263643 | USE OF SN AND PORE SIZE CONTROL TO IMPROVE BIOCOMPATIBILITY IN POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND COMPACTS - Polycrystalline diamond compacts for use in artificial joints achieve reduced corrosion and improved biocompatibility through the use of solvent metal formulations containing tin and through the control of solvent metal pore size, particularly in inner layers of the compact. Solvent metal formulations containing tin have been discovered which provide sintering ability, part strength, and grind resistance comparable to levels achieved by using CoCrMo solvent metals. It has been discovered that limiting the solvent metal pore size in the diamond layers minimizes or eliminates the occurance of micro cracks in the solvent metal and significantly reduces the corrosion of the compact as manifested by the release of heavy metal ions from the compact. Polycrystalline diamond compacts which utilize both the solvent metal formulations containing tin and the control of pore sizes achieve significantly reduced corrosion and improved biocompatibility compared to prior art polycrystalline diamond compacts. | 10-22-2009 |
