| 20090215251 | PLASMA IMMERSION ION IMPLANTATION PROCESS WITH CHAMBER SEASONING AND SEASONING LAYER PLASMA DISCHARGING FOR WAFER DECHUCKING - In a plasma immersion ion implantation process, the thickness of a pre-implant chamber seasoning layer is increased (to permit implantation of a succession of wafers without replacing the seasoning layer) without loss of wafer clamping electrostatic force due to increased seasoning layer thickness. This is accomplished by first plasma-discharging residual electrostatic charge from the thick seasoning layer. The number of wafers which can be processed using the same seasoning layer is further increased by fractionally supplementing the seasoning layer after each wafer is processed, which may be followed by a brief plasma discharging of the supplemented seasoning before processing the next wafer. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100249771 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVELY PLANNING AND CONTROLLING A TREATMENT OF A PATIENT WITH A MEDICAL TREATMENT DEVICE - A system and method for interactively planning and controlling a treatment of a patient for a medical treatment device are provided. The system includes a memory; a processor coupled to the memory; and a treatment control module stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The treatment control module graphically displays in real time a continuously changing treatment region defined by the electrodes as a user moves at least one of the electrodes. This allows the user to more effectively plan and treat a target region. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250209 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING A TREATMENT REGION FOR A MEDICAL TREATMENT DEVICE - A medical system and method for estimating a treatment region for a medical treatment device is provided. The system includes a memory; a processor coupled to the memory; and a treatment control module stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The treatment control module generates an estimated treatment region which is an estimate of a treatment region which would have been derived as a result of a numerical model analysis such as a finite element analysis. Advantageously, the estimated treatment region is generated using a fraction of the time it takes to generate the region using the numerical model analysis. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090106287 | WEB SERVICE INTERFACE FOR ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Various techniques for providing a Web Service interface to an order management system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a Web Service interface receives a hierarchical property set, which includes properties being input to an order management system. The Web Service interface accesses mapping information, which associates a variable in a flat property set with a hierarchical property set path. The Web Service interface uses the mapping information to convert the hierarchical property set to the flat property set, based upon the mapping information, and then causes the order management system to process the flat property set. The Web Service interface can also use the same mapping information to convert a flat property set generated by the order management system into a hierarchical property set. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20100083208 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING PATTERN CLASSIFICATION OF PATTERNS IN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGNS - Disclosed is an approach for performing pattern classification for electronic designs. One advantage of this approach is that it can use fast pattern matching techniques to classify both patterns and markers based on geometric similarity. In this way, the large number of markers and hotspots that typically are identified within an electronic design can be subsumed and compressed into a much smaller set of pattern families. This significantly reduced the number of patterns that must be individually analyzed, which considerably reduces the quantity of system resources and time needed to analyze and verify a circuit design. | 04-01-2010 |
