20080286885METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CREATING OR PERFORMING A DYNAMIC SAMPLING SCHEME FOR A PROCESS DURING WHICH MEASUREMENTS ARE PERFORMED ON WAFERS - Various methods and systems for creating or performing a dynamic sampling scheme for a process during which measurements are performed on wafers are provided. One method for creating a dynamic sampling scheme for a process during which measurements are performed on wafers includes performing the measurements on all of the wafers in at least one lot at all measurement spots on the wafers. The method also includes determining an optimal sampling scheme, an enhanced sampling scheme, a reduced sampling scheme, and thresholds for the dynamic sampling scheme for the process based on results of the measurements. The thresholds correspond to values of the measurements at which the optimal sampling scheme, the enhanced sampling scheme, and the reduced sampling scheme are to be used for the process.11-20-2008
20080316442FEEDFORWARD/FEEDBACK LITHO PROCESS CONTROL OF STRESS AND OVERLAY - A method and apparatus for process control in a lithographic process are described. Metrology may be performed on a substrate either before or after performing a lithographic patterning process on the substrate. One or more correctables to the lithographic patterning process may be generated based on the metrology. The lithographic patterning process performed on the substrate (or a subsequent substrate) may be adjusted with the correctables.12-25-2008

20110202298METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PROCESS TOOL CORRECTABLES USING AN OPTIMIZED SAMPLING SCHEME WITH SMART INTERPOLATION - The present invention may include performing a first measurement on a wafer of a first lot of wafers via an omniscient sampling process, calculating a first set of process tool correctables utilizing one or more results of the measurement performed via an omniscient sampling process, randomly selecting a set of field sampling locations of the wafer of a first lot of wafers, calculating a second set of process tool correctables by applying an interpolation process to the randomly selected set of field sampling locations, wherein the interpolation process utilizes values from the first set of process tool correctables for the randomly selected set of field sampling locations in order to calculate correctables for fields of the wafer of the first lot not included in the set of randomly selected fields, and determining a sub-sampling scheme by comparing the first set of process tool correctables to the second set of correctables.08-18-2011
20120094400FEEDFORWARD/FEEDBACK LITHO PROCESS CONTROL OF STRESS AND OVERLAY - A method and apparatus for process control in a lithographic process are described. Metrology may be performed on a substrate either before or after performing a patterning process on the substrate. One or more correctables to the lithographic patterning process may be generated based on the metrology. The patterning process performed on the substrate (or a subsequent substrate) may be adjusted with the correctables.04-19-2012

20090324707METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING CONFORMATIONALLY CONSTRAINED PEPTIDES, PEPTIDOMIMETICS AND THE USE THEREOF AS SYNTHETIC VACCINES - The present invention relates to methods for synthesizing conformationally constrained peptides and cyclic peptidomimetics obtainable by these methods which are conformationally constrained due an internal cross-link. This cross-link is formed between the side chain of an amino acid residue or analog and a (2S, 4S)4-functionalized proline residue. The invention further relates to the use of (2S, 4S)-4-functionalized proline residues as building units in the synthesis of such peptidomimetics and to the use thereof as antigens, alone or in combination with suitable immunopotentiating delivery systems, for example immunopotentiating reconstituted influenza virosomes to elicit an immune response in a mammal. Moreover, the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.12-31-2009

20100322037TIME INDICATOR DEVICE - A time indicator device comprised of first and second interconnected reservoirs containing first and second liquids respectively. A first barrier is provided between said first and second liquids to prevent said liquids mixing. Said first barrier is connected via a conduit to a third reservoir containing a third liquid which is adapted to pass along said conduit over a first predetermined time period and to effect removal of said first barrier upon contact to facilitate mixing of said first and second liquid and generation of a liquid mixture within the second reservoir of different colour to the second liquid prior to mixing and thereby provide an indication of when said first predetermined time period has elapsed.12-23-2010

20100057170Full view access upper underbody blanket - The inventive blanket is an inflatable underbody convective thermal blanket whereon the head and the upper body of a patient may lie. The blanket is in the shape of a cross with a truncated lower vertical portion and an upper head portion onto which the head of the patient lies. The blanket has two horizontal arm portions that extend from the main body portion of the blanket and onto which the arms of the patient may be positioned. At each of the arm portions there is a flap that may be used to cover the arm of the patient. An inlet port is provided in an upper corner at the head portion of the blanket. The heated air input to the blanket is directed by a plurality of sealed strips to flow in respective desired directions around the arm portions and the lower truncated body portion of the blanket. Sets of apertures are provided along an inner sealed periphery that defines a T-shaped uninflated area onto which the torso of the patient lies. There are more apertures at the inner corners of the inflatable structure defined by the uninflated area to enable a greater outflow of heated air at the lower truncated body portion of the blanket. All inner and outer corners of the blanket are rounded to facilitate the air flow.03-04-2010
