Abstract: A computer-implemented process for automatic viewport re-leveling, in response to receiving a medical digital image, overlays the medical digital image with a floating viewport sized to represent a subset of the image to be viewed in a first instance. A limited set of brightness values is re-allocated to a set of pixels, within the subset of the image in the floating viewport that is less than a set of pixels in the medical digital image, in a second instance automatically. Responsive to the re-allocation, detail of local features within the subset of the image within the floating viewport in the second instance is accentuated.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process for graphical control of grid views, identifies within a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a screen filled with an image in a current grid layout, a GUI handle exists in a first position. Responsive to dragging the GUI handle from the first position to a second position, further determining whether a first threshold is met. Responsive to determining that the first threshold is met, generating a new grid layout to fill the screen by dividing the screen into a first number of multiple images, using a single interactive gesture of dragging to change a size, aspect ratio and number of cells, on a fixed size screen.

Abstract: An ion beam implanter includes an ion beam source for generating an ion beam moving along a beam line and an implantation chamber wherein a workpiece is positioned to intersect the ion beam for ion implantation of a surface of the workpiece by the ion beam. The ion beam implanter further includes a workpiece support structure coupled to the implantation chamber and supporting the workpiece. The workpiece support structure includes a first rotation member rotatably coupled to the implantation chamber and overlaying an opening in the implantation chamber. The workpiece support structure further includes a second rotation member rotatably coupled to the first rotation member and having a rotating shaft that protrudes through the first member and an axis of rotation offset from an axis of rotation of the first rotation member.

Abstract: As a rotating spoked substrate wheel passes across a beam stop during a scan cycle, a series of pulses are generated by the beam stop. These pulses are analysed to determine characteristics about the ion bam in an implanter. A digital signal processor (DSP) samples the beam stop current at regular intervals. By comparing the magnitude of successive samples, a dose uniformity map may be generated, so that identification of particular substrates on the wheel which have been dosed incorrectly is possible. The time taken for the beam to move between two points during the scan can also be measured from the sampled beam stop current. This provides a measurement of ion beam width. Similarly, by measuring, from the sample beam stop current, the time taken for the ion beam to pass between the middle of two adjacent substrates, the beam height may be ascertained.

Abstract: A system for promoting products (10) is disclosed which includes at least one terminal (12, 14) disposed at a point of sale. The terminal (12, 14) includes a communications device for facilitating transfer of communications through a communications network (16), and the terminal (12, 14) is arranged to receive an electronic address of a user. The system (10) also includes an electronic message generator arranged to generate an electronic message and forward the electronic message to the electronic address of the user, the electronic message including an address of a network information site (22) and a password useable to access the network information site (22).
