| 20080279230 | Fabry-perot laser system with phase section, and method of use thereof - A laser having accurately adjustable frequency, the laser including a semiconductor material having a gain region and a phase tuning region, wherein the phase tuning region is coupled to a power source that applies current in order to alter the index of refraction of the phase tuning region. By altering the amount of current applied to the tuning section, the transmission peak of the signal from the laser can be altered. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090046354 | Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Having a Non-Uniform Injection Current Density - A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with efficient current injection is described. Injection current density is controlled to be higher in some areas and lower in others to provide, e.g., improved saturation power and/or noise figure. Controlled injection current can be accomplished by varying the resistivity of the current injection electrode. This, in turn, can be accomplished by patterning openings in the dielectric layer above the current injection metallization in a manner which varies the series resistance along the length of the device. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090068570 | PHOTOLITHOGRAPHIC MASK EXHIBITING ENHANCED LIGHT TRANSMISSION DUE TO UTILIZING SUB-WAVELENGTH APERTURE ARRAYS FOR IMAGING PATTERNS IN NANO-LITHOGRAPHY - A nanophotolithography mask includes a layer of an electrically conductive optically opaque material deposited on a mask substrate in which regular arrays of sub-wavelength apertures are formed. The plasmonic excitation in the layer perforated with the sub-wavelength apertures arrays under the light incident on the mask produces high resolution far-field radiation patterns of sufficient intensity to expose a photoresist on a wafer when propagated to the same. The fill-factor of the mask, i.e., the ratio of the total apertures area to the total mask area, may lead to a significant increase in mask manufacturing throughput by FIB or electron beam “writing”. The mask demonstrates the defect resiliency and ability to imprint coherent clear features of nano dimensions and shapes on the wafers for integrated circuits design. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090201475 | STEPPER SYSTEM FOR ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY USING PHOTOLITHOGRAPHIC MASK EXHIBITING ENHANCED LIGHT TRANSMISSION DUE TO UTILIZING SUB-WAVELENGTH APERTURE ARRAYS - A stepper system for ultra-high resolution nano-lithography employs a photolithographic mask which includes a layer of an electrically conductive optically opaque material in which periodic arrays of sub-wavelength apertures are formed. The plasmonic excitation in the photolithographic mask exposed to the light of the wavelength in the range of 197 nm-248 nm, produces high resolution far-field radiation patterns of sufficient intensity to expose a photoresist on a wafer. The stepper system demonstrates the resiliency to the mask defects and ability to imprint coherent clear features of nano dimensions (45 nm-500 nm) and various shapes on the wafers for integrated circuits design. The stepper system may be adjusted to image the plane of the highest plasmonic field exiting the mask. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20090192731 | System and Method for Monitoring a Health State of Hydrocarbon Production Equipment - A device for monitoring the health state of hydrocarbon production equipment is disclosed. The device has a plurality of targets, which are associated with the hydrocarbon production equipment. A record of the initial target positions and/or dimensions relative to the hydrocarbon production equipment is created. A sensor that is compatible with the targets is used to observe the targets and produce a sensor output. An analysis device uses the record of the initial positions, dimensions and the sensor output to determine one or more health state parameters, which may be used to determine the health state of the hydrocarbon production equipment. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090277639 | Fluid Operated Well Tool - A well tool is operable to receive a flow of fluid. The well tool includes a first hydraulic area on which the fluid acts tending to move a first body to substantially seal against passage of fluid through an aperture. A second, larger hydraulic area is provided on which the fluid acts tending to move a second body. The second body is movable by the fluid acting on the second hydraulic to displace the first body from substantially sealing against passage of fluid through the aperture. An energy storing device is provided that is configured to store energy from movement of the second body until at least a specified amount of energy is stored and release the energy when the second body is moved to displace the first body from substantially sealing against passage of fluid through the aperture. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110079386 | System and Method for Downhole Communication - A method of servicing a wellbore extending from a surface and penetrating a subterranean formation is provided. The method comprises placing a workstring in the wellbore, wherein the workstring comprises at least a first downhole tool, a signal receiver subassembly, and a conveyance between the first downhole tool and the surface. The method further comprises the signal receiver subassembly receiving a first signal generated by contact between the wellbore and the workstring and initiating a first function of the first downhole tool based on the first signal. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110139445 | System and Method for Downhole Communication - A method of servicing a wellbore extending from a surface and penetrating a subterranean formation is provided. The method comprises placing a assembly in the wellbore, wherein the assembly comprises at least a first downhole tool, a signal receiver subassembly, and a conveyance between the first downhole tool and the surface. The method further comprises the signal receiver subassembly receiving a first signal generated by contact between the wellbore and the assembly and initiating a first function of the first downhole tool based on the first signal. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20110073307 | Forming Structures in a Well In-Situ - Structures can be formed downhole by accumulating already existing materials and/or materials introduced into a well to perform a specified function. The formed structures may be used to obstruct fluid flow of production or injection fluids, carry mechanical loads, control electrical or magnetic properties of components, mechanically actuate a component, as well as others. The materials may be induced to form the specified structure, such as by application of a potential downhole. For example, electrical, magnetic, sonic, biological potentials, or a combination thereof may be established downhole to form specified structures in specified locations to perform specified functions. | 03-31-2011 |
