    Abstract: A band pass filter includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a plasma generated by the first and second electrode. The plasma is confined to a region of space through which electromagnetic waves having a frequency above an intrinsic plasma frequency are transmitted, and electromagnetic waves having a frequency below the intrinsic plasma frequency are reflected. The band pass filter may be implemented in a photo lithography tool between a source module and an exposure module. The plasma of the band pass filter may be adapted to reduce IR radiation (or other out of band radiation) exposure to the exposure module by reflecting IR radiation back to the radiation source. In an extreme ultraviolet photo lithography tool, the plasma of the band pass filter may be adapted to transmit EUV radiation.

    Abstract: A radiation attenuation corridor couples a radiation therapy room and a control room. The radiation attenuation corridor is made of a material that substantially absorbs ionizing radiation and substantially blocks the transmission of the ionizing radiation. Specific wall portions at the entrance of the corridor are covered with borated polyethylene (BPE). Specific wall portions diverge from an axis defined by the corridor by from about 10 degrees to about 45 degrees. The corridor thus leads out of the room and angles laterally across the wall of the therapy room, before angling again and opening to a safe room. The added angles in the radiation corridor increase the distance of radiation travel, and make the path more indirect, thereby increasing the contact of the radiation emissions with the radiation shielding and further attenuating the radiation.

    Abstract: A scanning apparatus including a cylindrical member and an optical system. The cylindrical member rotates about a rotational axis and has an outer surface to support a storage phosphor sample thereon. The optical system moves in translation parallel to the rotational axis to scan the sample. The optical system comprises an opening, an excitation beam, an integrating member, and a single detector. The excitation beam is directed through the opening to impinge on a sample and cause light to be emitted from the sample. The integrating member reflects the emitted light using an interior three-dimensional polynomial surface providing diffuse reflection. The single detector is disposed adjacent the integrating member for collecting the reflected emitted light.

    Abstract: Prior art quiet docking and undocking methods used an interface that was located within the notebook computer, thus adding to the cost, complexity, weight, and power consumption of the notebook computer. The present invention provides for an apparatus for quiet docking of a notebook computer to a docking station, including interface circuitry located within the docking station. The interface detects when the notebook computer has been inserted within the docking station, and correspondingly enables a switch such that a common system bus is coupled between the notebook computer and the docking station. The interface also generates events to allow a software routine to configure the notebook computer and docking station without prior user intervention. The interface also includes circuitry to detect an undock request, and correspondingly undock the computer such that a transaction occurring on the system bus is not affected.

    Abstract: In a multi-computer system having a plurality of computers, an input/output device configuration definition table and an input/output device configuration reference table are adapted to be collectively managed. A configuration management program manages the configuration definition of all input/output devices of a plurality of computers by using the input/output device configuration definition table, and generates a changed data file when an input/output device configuration is changed. Dynamic system alteration is effected by changing the contents of the input/output device configuration reference table stored in a shared memory, in accordance with the changed data file. The input/output device configuration definition table and the input/output device configuration reference table each have an input/output device information part and an input/output device connection information part arranged in a matrix form to allow addition/deletion of an input/output device and a computer.

    Abstract: A multi-first-in-first-out (henceforth "multi-FIFO") memory circuit in accordance with this invention comprises: (1) a plurality of groups of storage elements, for example, each group corresponds to a first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory (2) a time multiplexed first address generator for generating address signals of a storage element from a first group that is cyclically selected from the plurality of groups by a sequencer included in the first address generator and (3) a second address generator for generating address signals of a number of successive storage elements from a second group that is selected from the plurality of groups by a signal on a group request terminal of the second address generator. In one embodiment the storage elements are part of a dualport random-access-memory (RAM), and are accessed by each of the first and second address generators using a number of pairs of pointer registers that are coupled to the address generators. Each pair of pointer registers includes a read pointer register that indicates a corresponding group's next storage element to be read and a write pointer register that indicates the group's next storage element to be written.
