  • FOCUSING A CHARGED PARTICLE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20150287568
    Abstract: A charged particle beam focusing apparatus includes a charged particle beam generator configured to project simultaneously at least one non-astigmatic charged particle beam and at least one astigmatic charged particle beam onto locations on a surface of a specimen, thereby causing released electrons to be emitted from the locations. The apparatus also includes an imaging detector configured to receive the released electrons from the locations and to form images of the locations from the released electrons. A processor analyzes the image produced by the at least one astigmatic charged particle beam and in response thereto adjusts a focus of the at least one non-astigmatic charged particle beam.
    Type: Application

  • Thermally conductive structural composite material and method
    Patent number: 8309225
    Abstract: A heat dissipative composite material including a carbon fiber lay-up having a resin pyrolized to form a graphitic carbon laminate structure. A structural resin fills voids in the graphitic carbon laminate structure and provides strength to the graphitic carbon laminate structure.
    Type: Grant
