| 20110246812 | WINDOW SUPPRESSION - A method of suppressing unwanted windows created by an operating system is described. The method comprises: monitoring calls from the operating system relating to creation of a window and ascertaining if a monitored call relates to creation of a window of a type corresponding to a window type to be blocked. If the window is not of a type that is to be blocked, then the method involves displaying the window. If the window is of a type that is to be blocked, then the method involves: registering a new window procedure for that window; and returning an error message to the operating system using the new window procedure to suppress display of the window. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20100045777 | RADIATION MEASUREMENT - A method of determining the distribution of radioactive material within a region is described. A plurality of radiological measurements and associated geometrical measurements taken at a plurality of positions in said region are input to a computer system. A 3D model of structures within said region is defined and the position within the model of each radiation measurement is obtained by using the geometrical measurements. The radiological measurements are then ascribed to a distribution of sources restricted to defined locations in the 3D model. The source distribution is parameterised over the defined source locations, and each parameter is related to the calculated observable radiation field, calculated using a physical model, at each measurement position. The parameters are adjusted to optimize the correspondence between the actual radiological measurements and the calculated observable radiation field, to yield the distribution of radioactive material as defined by the adjusted parameters | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090058304 | Inductively-Coupled RF Power Source - A system and method are disclosed for implementing a power source including a power amplifier that generates a radio-frequency power signal with an adjustable operating frequency. The power amplifier also generates a reference phase signal that is derived from the radio-frequency power signal. An impedance match provides the radio-frequency power signal to a plasma coil that has a variable resonance condition. A phase probe is positioned adjacent to the plasma coil to generate a coil phase signal corresponding to the adjustable operating frequency. A phase-locked loop then generates an RF drive signal that is based upon a phase relationship between the reference phase signal and the coil phase signal. The phase-locked loop provides the RF drive signal to the power amplifier to control the adjustable operating frequency, so that the adjustable operating frequency then tracks the variable resonance condition. | 03-05-2009 |
