Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090259959SEAMLESS DRAG AND DROP OPERATION WITH MULTIPLE EVENT HANDLERS - A computer-implemented method of selecting event handlers can include initiating a drag and drop operation for a source object and, responsive to detecting contact between the source object and a window of a graphical user interface (GUI), displaying a plurality of icons, wherein each icon represents an event handler for a drop target within the window. The method can include detecting contact between the source object and at least one of the plurality of icons while dragging the object, designating each event handler associated with a contacted icon to process the source object, and responsive to dropping the source object onto the drop target, invoking each designated event handler to process the source object for the drop target. Each designated event handler can output a process result.10-15-2009

20090040240Hovering table headers - A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for displaying header information in a table. One or more cells of a table are selected and their associated header information is determined and replicated. Display attributes are then applied to the replicated header information resulting in the generation of a table header that overlays adjacent table cells. In one embodiment, the resulting table header is dynamically invoked through a user gesture. In another embodiment, the resulting table header is persistently displayed and comprises a viewing window that displays information contained in the selected table cells. The persistent table header moves with the cursor as it is positioned over other table cells and displays the information they contain. Display attributes such as ghosting are applied to other table cells to generate a visually distinguished table header that facilitates visual correlation between selected table cells and their corresponding header information.02-12-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090239078Process and apparatus for diamond synthesis - The present invention relates to a microwave plasma deposition process and apparatus for producing diamond, preferably as single crystal diamond (SCD). The process and apparatus enables the production of multiple layers of the diamond by the use of an extending device to increase the length and the volume of a recess in a holder containing a SCD substrate as layers of diamond are deposited. The diamond is used for abrasives, cutting tools, gems, electronic substrates, heat sinks, electrochemical electrodes, windows for high power radiation and electron beams, and detectors.09-24-2009
20100034984Microwave plasma reactors - New and improved microwave plasma assisted reactors, for example chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactors, are disclosed. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors operate at pressures ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors include a movable lower sliding short and/or a reduced diameter conductive stage in a coaxial cavity of a plasma chamber. For a particular application, the lower sliding short position and/or the conductive stage diameter can be variably selected such that, relative to conventional reactors, the reactors can be tuned to operate over larger substrate areas, operate at higher pressures, and discharge absorbed power densities with increased diamond synthesis rates (carats per hour) and increased deposition uniformity.02-11-2010
