  • Patent number: 10248396
    Abstract: A system for conducting a code review of program source code including translation of content in the program source code may include a source control system. The system may also include a resource file translator to facilitate translation of the content from a first language into second languages. Upon receipt of a code review request, the source control system may notify a workflow manager that the resource files contain the content for translation, and the workflow manager may notify a resource file translator that the program source code contains the content for translation. The resource file translator may cause translation of the resource files into translated resource files. The source control system may receive program source code under review from a code reviewer interface, and the resource file translator may update the program source code under review with the translated resource files.

  • Publication number: 20080133289
    Abstract: In a network, such as an enterprise network, license related data of products of client devices are collected, aggregated, and reported uniformly. The client devices may be part of a managed node, and the license data may be sent (collected) by a central device, such as a server. Furthermore, administration of the products may also be performed.

  • Publication number: 20050082497
    Abstract: Provided is an ion implanter having a deceleration lens assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes in which one or more of the apertures of the deceleration electrodes are shaped in a manner which can improve performance of the ion implanter. In one embodiment, an electrode aperture is generally elliptical in shape and conforms generally to the shape of the beam passing through the aperture. In another aspect, an axis segment extends 40% of the length of the aperture from the aperture center to an intermediate point at the end of the segment. The average width of the aperture measured at each point from the center to the intermediate point is substantially less than the maximum width of the aperture.

  • Patent number: 6559454
    Abstract: An ion beam generation apparatus comprising an ion source (20) for generating ions, and a tetrode extraction assembly (11) comprising four electrodes for extracting and accelerating ions from the ion source. The extraction assembly comprises a source electrode (22) at the potential of the ion source, an extraction electrode (23) adjacent to the source electrode to extract ions from the ion source (20), a ground electrode (25), and a suppression electrode (24) between the extraction electrode and the ground electrode. Each electrode has an aperture to allow the ion beam to pass therethrough. The gap between the extraction (23) and suppression (24) electrodes is variable in the direction of ion beam travel.

  • Patent number: 6515408
    Abstract: A source of thermionic electrons is provided inside the flight tube of a magnet, especially an analysing magnet, and extends along the beam flight path. This allows space charge to be neutralised along the beam's axis in spite of severely restricted electron mobility in this direction owing to the presence of substantially transverse magnetic field. Thermionically emitted electrons may contribute directly to the neutralisation of space charge in positive ion beams, or, in the case of negative ion beams, indirectly by ionizing residual or deliberately introduced neutral gas atoms or molecules. Examples are described and claimed in which the source is arranged outside the nominal beam envelope in the flight tube, but linked to the beam by magnetic flux generated in the flight tube. This reduces erosion of the source by the beam and so reduces beam contamination. In these examples, an important feature is the provision of electron repellers to reflect electrons back and forth across the beam.
