| 20080276895 | INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING ASSEMBLY - The present invention relates to an intake manifold including first and second plenums in fluid communication with the throttle body and a plurality of runners depending from the plenums to direct air into the cylinders of an engine. Each of the runners includes a vent to release pressurized air within the runner. The intake manifold tuning assembly further includes a tuning device disposed between the plenums, the tuning device includes a housing having a plurality of tuning ports aligned relative to the vents to receive pressurized air from the runners. An intermediate plenum is defined within the housing that directs pressurized air from one runner to another runner corresponding to the next cylinder in the firing sequence of the engine. Valves regulate the transfer of pressurized air between the runners for increased torque output over a predetermined range of engine speed. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20080302954 | Apparatus and Method for Surface Modification Using Charged Particle Beams - An apparatus and method for using high beam currents in FIB circuit edit operations, without the generation of electrostatic discharge events. An internal partial chamber is disposed over the circuit to be worked on by the FIB. The partial chamber has top and bottom apertures for allowing the ion beam to pass through, and receives a gas through a gas delivery nozzle. A non-reactive gas, or a combination of a non-reactive gas and a reactive gas, is added to the FIB chamber via the partial chamber, until the chamber reaches a predetermined pressure. At the predetermined pressure, the gas pressure in the partial chamber will be much greater than that of the chamber, and will be sufficiently high such that the gas molecules will neutralize charging induced by the beam passing through the partial chamber. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100084568 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COUNTING SECONDARY PARTICLES - An apparatus for visualizing an ion beam editing operation of a sample. The apparatus comprises a charged particle beam column for producing an charged particle beam and for directing the charged particle beam onto the sample and beam rastering electronics (BRE) for controlling a movement and a dwell time of the charged particle beam. The apparatus further comprises a detector for detecting charged particles stemming from the sample as a result of the charged particle beam impinging on the sample and a multi-channel scalar (MCS) coupled to the detector and to the IBRE, and time-correlated with the BRE, the MCS for binning events detected at the detector as a function of time duration from a start event. Finally, the apparatus comprises an analysis module connected to the MCS for processing data from the MCS into a display signal, and a display module connected to the analysis module for displaying the display signal. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20110204263 | METHODS FOR PERFORMING CIRCUIT EDIT OPERATIONS WITH LOW LANDING ENERGY ELECTRON BEAMS - Methods for using sub-100V electron beam landing energies for performing circuit edit operations. Circuit edit operations can include imaging for navigation and etching in the presence of a suitable gas. Low landing energies can be obtained by modifying a decelerator system of native FESEM equipment, or by using biasing means near the sample surface for decelerating electrons of the primary beam. At low landing energies near the operating voltage of a semiconductor circuit, voltage contrast effects can be visually seen for enhancing operator navigation. Low landing energies can be used during etching processes for minimizing the interaction volume of the beam and obtaining accurate and localized etching. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090135240 | System and Method for Focused Ion Beam Data Analysis - A system and method for improving FIB milling endpointing operations. The methods involve generating real-time images of the area being milled and real-time graphical plots of pixel intensities with an increased sensitivity over native FIB system generated images and plots. The images and plots are generated with raw signal data obtained from the native FIB system. More specifically, the raw signal data is processed according to specific algorithms for generating images and corresponding intensity graphs which can be reliably used for accurate endpointing. In particular, the displayed images will display more visual information regarding changes in milled material, while the intensity graphs will plot aggregate pixel intensity data on a dynamically adjusting scale to dramatically highlight relative changes in milled material. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20110253715 | CONTAINER SEAL WITH RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAG, AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A container closure assembly includes a closure, an inner seal, and a radio frequency identification tag. The inner seal includes a first surface for engaging a container sealing surface, and a second, opposed surface for engaging one of a backing liner, a facing liner, an induction seal liner, and a glued-in closure liner. The radio frequency identification tag includes a microprocessor electrically coupleable with an antenna for receiving, storing, and transmitting digitized information. The inner seal can minimize migration of fluids between a container interior volume and an exterior of a container when the inner seal is engaged with a container sealing surface. The radio frequency identification tag can be included in the closure assembly within a container interior volume or external to a container, or can be incorporated into the inner seal, without the closure assembly electromagnetically interfering with the receiving, storing, or transmitting of the digitized information. | 10-20-2011 |
