20110064191 | MICROCALORIMETRY FOR X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY - An improved microcalorimeter-type energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer provides sufficient energy resolution and throughput for practical high spatial resolution x-ray mapping of a sample at low electron beam energies. When used with a dual beam system that provides the capability to etch a layer from the sample, the system can be used for three-dimensional x-ray mapping. A preferred system uses an x-ray optic having a wide-angle opening to increase the fraction of x-rays leaving the sample that impinge on the detector and multiple detectors to avoid pulse pile up. | 03-17-2011 |

20130068611 | Localized, In-Vacuum Modification of Small Structures - A charge transfer mechanism is used to locally deposit or remove material for a small structure. A local electrochemical cell is created without having to immerse the entire work piece in a bath. The charge transfer mechanism can be used together with a charged particle beam or laser system to modify small structures, such as integrated circuits or micro-electromechanical system. The charge transfer process can be performed in air or, in some embodiments, in a vacuum chamber. | 03-21-2013 |

20110163068 | Multibeam System - A multibeam system in which a charged particle beam and one or more additional beams can be directed to the target within a single vacuum chamber. A first beam colunm preferably produces a beam for rapid processing, and a second beam column produces a beam for more precise processing. A third beam column can be used to produce a beam useful for forming an image of the sample while producing little or no change in the sample. | 07-07-2011 |
20120103945 | Method And Apparatus For Laser Machining - Laser processing is enhanced by using endpointing or by using a charged particle beam together with a laser. End-pointing uses emissions, such as photons, electrons, ions, or neutral particles, from the substrate to determine when the material under the laser has changed or is about to change. Material removed from the sample can be deflected to avoid deposition onto the laser optics. | 05-03-2012 |

20120226096 | VENTRICULAR CUFF - In one general aspect, an implant includes a cuff defining an opening configured to receive a cannula coupled to a heart pump. The implant includes a coupling mechanism having a first position and a second position, the cuff being uncoupled from the cannula in the first position and the coupling mechanism coupling the cuff to the cannula in the second position. The implant includes a locking mechanism configured to secure the coupling mechanism in the second position, and the locking mechanism is configured to be moved to a locked position after the coupling mechanism is in the second position. | 09-06-2012 |

20100141934 | Inspection Tip for a Fiber Optic Inspection Probe - An inspection probe is disclosed for use with a fiber optic adapter. The inspection probe can inspect a terminated end of an optical fiber within the fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic adapter can include a ferrule receiver located between first and second ports. The inspection probe is inserted into the first port of the fiber optic adapter and a coupling feature of the inspection probe engages and aligns with the ferrule receiver. A fiber optic connector is inserted into the second port of the fiber optic adapter and a ferrule of the fiber optic connector aligns with the ferrule receiver. The ferrule holds the terminated end of the optical fiber and thereby positions the terminated end within the ferrule receiver. An image capturing end of the inspection probe is thereby positioned proximal the terminated end of the optical fiber and can inspect the terminated end and/or the ferrule. | 06-10-2010 |
20120237167 | HYBRID FIBER/COPPER CONNECTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A hybrid fiber/copper connector assembly which permits repair of damaged fibers or copper conductors carried by a hybrid fiber/copper cable without requiring replacement of the entire connector assembly or the cable is disclosed. The hybrid fiber/copper connector assembly disclosed also allows individual hybrid fiber/copper connectors of the assembly to be converted from one gender to a different gender. The hybrid fiber/copper connectors of the assembly include removable keying members mountable to housings of the connectors. The removable keying members allow gender conversion and proper mating and orientation. The hybrid fiber/copper connector assembly also allows the individual connectors of the assembly to be converted from being hybrid fiber/copper connectors to being only fiber connectors or only copper connectors. | 09-20-2012 |
