20120145931 | LITHOGRAPHY SYSTEM, MODULATION DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A FIBER FIXATION SUBSTRATE - The invention relates to a charged-particle multi-beamlet lithography system for transferring a pattern onto the surface of a target. The system comprises a beam generator for generating a plurality of charged particle beamlets, a beamlet blanker array for patterning the beamlets in accordance with a pattern, and a projection system for projecting the patterned beamlets onto the target surface. The blanker array comprises a plurality of modulators and a plurality of light sensitive elements. The light sensitive elements are arranged to receive pattern data carrying light beams and to convert the light beams into electrical signals. The light sensitive elements are electrically connected to one or more modulators for providing the received pattern data. The blanker array is coupled to a fiber fixation substrate which accommodates end sections of a plurality of fibers for providing pattern data carrying light beams as an assembled group with a fixed connection. | 06-14-2012 |
20120273658 | MODULATION DEVICE AND CHARGED PARTICLE MULTI-BEAMLET LITHOGRAPHY SYSTEM USING THE SAME - The invention relates to a charged-particle multi-beamlet lithography system. The system comprises a beam generator for generating a plurality of beamlets, a beamlet blanker array for patterning the plurality of beamlets, an optical fiber arrangement, and a projection system. The beamlet blanker array comprises a substrate provided with a first area comprising one or more modulators and a second area free of modulators. The beamlet blanker array comprises one or more light sensitive elements, electrically connected to the one or more modulators, and arranged to receive light beams carrying pattern data. The optical fiber arrangement comprises a plurality of optical fibers for guiding the light beams carrying pattern data towards the one or more light sensitive elements. The projection of the optical fiber arrangement onto a surface of the beamlet blanker array in a direction perpendicular to the surface falls entirely within the second area. | 11-01-2012 |
20130043413 | Arrangement of optical fibers, and a method of forming such arrangement - A method of forming an optical fiber array. The method comprises providing a substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The substrate is provided with a plurality of apertures extending through the substrate from the first surface to the second surface. Additionally, a plurality of fibers is provided. The fibers have fiber ends with a diameter smaller than the smallest diameter of the apertures. For each fiber, from the first surface side of the substrate, the fiber is inserted in a corresponding aperture such that the fiber end is positioned in close proximity of the second surface. Then the fiber is bent in a predetermined direction such that the fiber abuts a side wall of the aperture at a predetermined position. Finally, the bent fibers are bonded together using an adhesive material. | 02-21-2013 |

20090282339 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A SPACE BASED ON MEDIA CONTENT - Described is a system and method for controlling the state and capabilities of a meeting room automatically based on the content being presented. The system can detect certain states (such as transitions to a demo, or question-and-answer sessions) based on content of slides, and can automatically switch displays and other devices in a meeting room to accommodate these new states. | 11-12-2009 |
20100218099 | Systems and Methods for Audience-Enabled Access to Presentation Content - A system and method for accessing content provided by a presenter during a presentation is described. The system and method includes a presentation module used by a presenter to display presentation materials to audience members during a presentation. Also included is a selection module that allows a display of a representation of the presentation materials that have been displayed. When activated, the selection module enables an audience member to select for redisplay by the presentation module a particular one of the presentation materials. | 08-26-2010 |
20110173260 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PRESENCE STATE OF A PERSON - A system and method for determining a presence state of a person. A plurality of data feeds is received. A subset of the plurality of data feeds that includes data regarding presence states of a first person is identified. The subset of the plurality of data feeds are analyzed to determine a plurality of presence states of the first person, wherein a respective presence state of the first person is determined from a respective data feed in the subset of the plurality of data feeds. One or more presence states of the plurality of presence states are reported to subscribers via the network. | 07-14-2011 |
20130191319 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR USING PRESENCE DATA TO ESTIMATE AFFECT AND COMMUNICATION PREFERENCE FOR USE IN A PRESENCE SYSTEM - Exemplary embodiments described herein are directed to systems and methods that estimate a user's affect and communication preferences from presence data. The exemplary embodiments use a small set of features derived from a user's recent high level presence states. Exemplary embodiments also use features from broader classes of presence data. Utilizing features from a combination of presence data and recent presence states may provide improvement over estimates that users are able to make themselves. The exemplary embodiments further consider cost, burden on the user, and privacy issues in estimating affect and communication preferences. | 07-25-2013 |
20140067960 | System and Method for Determining a Presence State of a Person - A computer system is coupled to a plurality of subscribers via a network. The computer system obtains first presence information that corresponds to a first calendar of a user and obtains second presence information that corresponds to a second calendar of the user that is different from the first calendar. The computer system determines one or more presence states of the user including determining, based on presence information for the user that includes the first presence information and the second presence information, a first presence state of the user. The computer system provides the respective presence state of the user, selected from the one or more presence states of the user, to the subscribers via the network. | 03-06-2014 |
