20100107980 | Method and apparatus for extracting ions from an ion source for use in ion implantation - Thermal control is provided for an extraction electrode of an ion-beam producing system that prevents formation of deposits and unstable operation and enables use with ions produced from condensable vapors and with ion sources capable of cold and hot operation. Electrical heating of the extraction electrode is employed for extracting decaborane or octadecaborane ions. Active cooling during use with a hot ion source prevents electrode destruction, permitting the extraction electrode to be of heat-conductive and fluorine-resistant aluminum composition. The service lifetime of the system is enhanced by provisions for in-situ etch cleaning of the ion source and extraction electrode, using reactive halogen gases, and by having features that extend the service duration between cleanings, including accurate vapor flow control and accurate focusing of the ion beam optics. A remote plasma source delivers F or Cl ions to the de-energized ion source for the purpose of cleaning deposits in the ion source and the extraction electrode. These techniques enable long equipment uptime when running condensable feed gases such as sublimated vapors, and are particularly applicable for use with so-called cold ion sources and universal ion sources. Methods and apparatus are described which enable long equipment uptime when decaborane and octadecaborane are used as feed materials, as well as when vaporized elemental arsenic and phosphorus are used, and which serve to enhance beam stability during ion implantation. | 05-06-2010 |

20110103407 | Network Traffic Synchronization Mechanism - Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to a network traffic synchronization mechanism facilitating the deployment of network devices in redundant network topologies. In certain embodiments, when a first network device directly receives network traffic, it copies the network traffic and transmits it to at least one partner network device. The partner network device processes the copied network traffic, just as if it had received it directly, but, in one embodiment, discards the traffic before forwarding it on to its destination. In one embodiment, the partner network devices are operative to exchange directly received network traffic. As a result, the present invention provides enhanced reliability and seamless failover. Each unit, for example, is ready at any time to take over for the other unit should a failure occur. As discussed below, the network traffic synchronization mechanism can be applied to a variety of network devices, such as firewalls, gateways, network routers, and bandwidth management devices. | 05-05-2011 |

20090120215 | CRAWLER FOR INSPECTING PIPES - Robotic external pipeline crawler system employs the use of logic control to provide a system capable of constantly and accurately maintaining a position at the vertex of the pipe. This apex positioning can be maintained as it traverses the length of the pipe being inspected. This system is adaptable to both straight and curved pipe, multiple pipe diameters, and will substantially reduce set up time and vertical pipeline support crossing time. The crawler system also employs an advanced bracketry system which allows quick disconnecting and auxiliary powered movement allowing for decreased cycle time across pipe supports. The unique tire interface allows for additional surface area contact making extreme environmental conditions possible. | 05-14-2009 |

20090214140 | Multiple compartment self-sealing plastic bag - The present invention is a flexible self-sealing plastic bag with a heat-seal changing a single compartment bag to a dual or multiple compartment plastic bag made by heat sealing from the bottom or side of the bag through the self-sealer and opening. This allows carrying items that are best not mixed until use. It allows viewing of each component by just seeing one side of the multi-component bag. It protects one content from another because each compartment lies next to the other, not overlapping. The present invention allows marketing this idea in finished product of compartmentalized self-sealing plastic bags with each compartment opening independent of the other. It also allows kit marketing where an appliance, the heat-sealer is purchased as are commercially available plastic bags and the owner can compartmentalize the plastic bags as needed and in configurations to match the need at the time. The compartments can be rectangular or quadrilateral depending on the characteristics of the contents. They can even be triangular for things needed in small quantities as salt for a sandwich. | 08-27-2009 |
