6362486, Mar 26, 2002

Filed:

Nov 12, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/191102

Inventors:

Stephen W. Into - Harvard MA

Assignee:

Schlumberger Technologies, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H01J 37141

US Classification:

250396ML, 250398

Abstract:

A magnetic lens focuses a charged particle beam generated by an instrument to a very small spot for deriving characteristics of a sample. A magnetic flux pattern is created which provides improved high resolution. The lens includes a polepiece with an inner yoke, an outer yoke and a winding. A lens outer pole is secured to the outer yoke and includes a first surface having a first opening defined therein positioned such that the beam passes therethrough. A lens inner pole is secured to the inner yoke and includes a second surface having a second opening defined therein aligned with the first opening, but with a smaller inner diameter.

International Classification:

B60K 4100

US Classification:

440 84, 440 87

Abstract:

A control system for controlling the speed of a boat of the type including a motor having a throttle control lever coupled to a throttle of the motor provides for stable and predictable control of the speed of a boat The control system includes a position detector configured to detect the position of the throttle control lever and to generate a first signal representative of a target speed of the motor; a sensor which generates a second signal representative of the actual speed of the motor; an actuator adapted to control the throttle; and a servo controller, which in response to the first signal and the second signal, generates an output to adjust the position of the actuator.

International Classification:

G06K 944

US Classification:

382275, 382199

Abstract:

Noise in digitized image data is reduced by providing an array of pixels for each of which a gray level has been determined. For each column of the array, a distribution of gray levels is derived, and a range of acceptable gray levels is set based on the distribution. For pixels with a gray level outside the range, the gray level is changed to reduce the influence of noise in the imaged data.

US Classification:

422 22, 2504923, 2504931, 2504921, 31511181, 31511191

Abstract:

Improved electron beam sterilization apparatus and shielding techniques for use in are provided. A controller modulates an electron beam when sterilizing an interior to an object to ensure that adequate dose is received. Sterilization carousels are configured with input/discharge feeds to reduce the possibility of humans being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. The system reduces the amount of shielding required to thereby lower cost of installation.

The surface coating includes pores forming interconnected porosity. The processing device further includes a sealant residing in at least a portion of the pores of the surface coating. In an embodiment, the sealant can be a thermally cured sealant having a cure temperature not greater than about 100 C. In another embodiment, the sealant can be an epoxy sealant having a viscosity of not greater than 500 cP in liquid precursor form. In yet another embodiment, the sealant can be a low shrinkage sealant characterized by a solidification shrinkage of not greater than 8%.
