Abstract: Systems and devices for improving the efficiency of secondary electron detection in charged particle beam systems include a charged particle detector, a first elongate member coupled with the charged particle detector, and a second elongate member coupled with the charged particle detector. The first elongate member and the second elongate member each extend away from the charged particle detector. The system also includes at least one drawing member that is coupled with the first elongate member. Additionally, at least one electrical connection point is arranged to supply at least one bias voltage to the first elongate member, the second elongate member, and the drawing member. The drawing member is configured to generate an electromagnetic field that applies a drawing force that draws charged particles away from the charged particle source, and/or reduces the amount of charged particles from the charged particle source that strike the charged particle tool.

Abstract: Described is a peripheral device locking arrangement. The device comprises an attachment arrangement including a receiving assembly and a first locking mechanism, and a second locking mechanism coupled to the attachment arrangement. The receiving assembly detachably receives a peripheral device. The first locking mechanism locks the peripheral device in the receiving assembly. When the second locking mechanism is in a locked position, the second locking mechanism prevents removal of the peripheral device from the receiving assembly. The peripheral device is removable from the receiving assembly only when (i) the first locking mechanism is released and (ii) the second locking mechanism in is an unlocked position.

Abstract: Described is a snap-on buckle. The snap-on buckle comprises a buckle configured to receive an attachment device, the buckle including at least one break away point and a snap, insert molded into the buckle, that is configured to releasably attach to a surface of a mobile terminal. In an alternate embodiment, the snap-on buckle comprises a buckle configured to receive an attachment device, the buckle including at least one break away point and an attachment means, insert molded into the buckle, that is configured to releasably attach to a surface of a mobile terminal.

Abstract: Described is a device comprising a power supply, a receiving arrangement, a removable cover and a sensor. The receiving arrangement detachably receives a peripheral device. The peripheral device draws power from the power supply when coupled to the receiving arrangement. The removable cover covers the receiving arrangement and prevents the peripheral device from being physically removed from the receiving arrangement. The sensor outputs a first signal when the cover covers the receiving arrangement and outputs a second signal when the cover is removed from the receiving arrangement. Communication with the peripheral device is terminated as a function of the first and second signals.

Abstract: Described is a desiccant arrangement for a computing device. The computing device comprises a sealed housing, an optical element having at least one substantially flat surface internal to the sealed housing and a desiccant removing moisture from air within the sealed housing to prevent accumulation of the moisture on the at least one substantially flat surface.

Abstract: Described is a protective device and system for a mobile computing device. The system comprises a rigid cage and a protective boot. The rigid cage is shaped to protect an attachment point of a mobile device receiving a removable connector. The rigid cage is shaped to receive the attachment point and the removable connector. The protective boot is shaped to receive the rigid cage and a portion of the mobile device. The portion of the mobile device includes the attachment point.
