20100262946 | Model-based assist feature placement using inverse imaging approach - Some embodiments provide techniques and systems to identify locations in a target mask layout for placing assist features. During operation, an embodiment can determine a spatial sampling frequency to sample the target mask layout, wherein sampling the target mask layout at the spatial sampling frequency prevents spatial aliasing in a gradient of a cost function which is used for computing an inverse mask field. Next, the system can generate a grayscale image by sampling the target mask layout at the spatial sampling frequency. The system can then compute the inverse mask field by iteratively modifying the grayscale image. The system can use the gradient of the cost function to guide the iterative modification process. Next, the system can filter the inverse mask field using a morphological operator, and use the filtered inverse mask field to identify assist feature locations in the target mask layout. | 10-14-2010 |

20140245239 | DETECTION AND REMOVAL OF SELF-ALIGNED DOUBLE PATTERNING ARTIFACTS - Mask design techniques for detection and removal of undesirable artifacts in SADP processes using multiple patterns are disclosed. Artifacts or spurs result from lithographic and chemical processing of semiconducting wafers. The spurs are undesirable because they can cause unwanted connections or act as electrical antennas. Spurs are detected using rule-based techniques and reduced by modifying lithographic masks. The severity of the detected spurs is determined, again using rule-based techniques. The effects of detected spurs can be reduced by modifying the decomposition of the drawn patterns into the two masks used for lithography. Mandrel masks are modified by add dummy mandrel material, and trim masks are modified by removing trim material. The resulting multi-pattern arrangement is used to fabricate the critical design elements that make up the semiconductor wafers. | 08-28-2014 |

The system merges elevation information for terrain points and elevation information for runway points by grouping runways together that are within a threshold distance of each other. For each group, a plane is calculated. The calculated plane is then projected onto all of the runways within the group. The plane may also be projected onto a subset of neighboring terrain points. The adjusted elevation created by the projection of the plane are then used in creating the images for display on the synthetic vision display. The result is that all of the runways within a group, along with their neighboring terrain, are displayed as being coplanar. | 04-28-2011 |

This conductor is surrounded by a channel through which coolant—typically liquid helium—can flow. The channel is bounded by a metal conduit of sufficient strength to withstand the Lorentz forces. The metal conduit is covered by an insulator which forces the current into the desired helical path. | 10-02-2008 |

20120137707 | ZERO DELTA TEMPERATURE THERMAL LINK - An apparatus for transferring cryogenic refrigeration includes a cryocooler interface, a housing, a working fluid, a heat exchanger, a flexible thermal link, and a remote cartridge cold head. The cryocooler interface is thermally connected to a cryocooler providing a source of refrigeration. The refrigeration is passed from the crycooler into the heat exchanger via the cryocooler interface. The remote cartridge cold head is attached to a remote location. Heat is drawn from the remote location through the remote cartridge cold head and into the heat exchanger via the working fluid within the flexible thermal link and housing. Within the heat exchanger, heat is transferred from the working fluid to the refrigeration source, such as a cryocooler; accordingly, the remote location is cooled. | 06-07-2012 |

20130231971 | LEGAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A computer-implemented system for developing, tracking and managing legal (and other professional services) projects or matters through the Legal Project Management (LPM) process. The LPM process divides the management of a legal matter or project into three phases: Project Development; Project Execution; and Project Closure. The Project Development Phase includes conflict screening, fee arrangements, identification of the nature and scope of the matter, the goals of the stakeholders, the tasks associated with the matter, and development of a schedule, budget, and a communications plan. The Project Execution Phase involves monitoring the progress of the matter, tracking the actual time and cost to budget, identifying risks and changes to the scope of the matter as they develop, and communicating among team members. The Project Closure Phase includes file closure procedures, and team and client meetings to identify lessons learned in the engagement for future improvement. | 09-05-2013 |
