20100218105Method of browsing and a computer program therefor - A method of browsing a website from the Internet comprises receiving code and/or object from the website from the Internet by a first computer. The code and/or object of the website is transmitted by the first computer to a server computer. The first computer displays the code and/or object of the website at the first computer. The code and/or object of the website received by the server computer is transmitted to a second computer. The code and/or object of the website received by the second computer is displayed at the second computer. The display of the website at the first computer is substantially the same as the display of the website at the second computer.08-26-2010

Tseh-Jen Hsieh, Rowley, MA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120118232Hydrogen COGas For Carbon Implant - A system, apparatus and method for increasing ion source lifetime in an ion implanter are provided. Oxidation of the ion source and ion source chamber poisoning resulting from a carbon and oxygen-containing source gas is controlled by utilizing a hydrogen co-gas, which reacts with free oxygen atoms to form hydroxide and water.05-17-2012
20120119113Implementation of CO-Gases for Germanium and Boron Ion Implants - An ion implantation system for improving performance and extending lifetime of an ion source is disclosed. A fluorine-containing dopant gas source is introduced into the ion chamber along with one or more co-gases. The one or more co-gases can include hydrogen or krypton. The co-gases mitigate the effects caused by free fluorine ions in the ion source chamber which lead to ion source failure.05-17-2012
