  • Patent number: 9377423
    Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods for testing a device under test (DUT) with a probe system are selected to test a DUT at a temperature below the dew point of the ambient environment surrounding the probe system. Probe systems include a measurement chamber configured to isolate a cool, dry testing environment and a measurement chamber door configured to selectively isolate the internal volume of the measurement chamber. When a DUT, that is or is included on a substrate, is tested at a low temperature, systems and methods are selected to heat the substrate in a dry environment, at least partially isolated from the measurement chamber, to at least a temperature above the dew point and/or the frost point of the ambient environment.

  • Patent number: 9308205
    Abstract: The present invention relates to 3-(1-{3-[5-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-benzyl}-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyridazin-3-yl)-benzonitrile hydrochloride solvates and crystalline modifications thereof. The present invention further relates to processes of manufacturing these crystalline modifications as well as their use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions, which are caused, mediated and/or propagated by the inhibition, regulation and/or modulation of signal transduction of kinases, in particular by the inhibition of tyrosine kinases, e.g. pathophysiological conditions such as cancer.

  • Patent number: 8717457
    Abstract: A spectral capture parameter is adjusted for capturing successive frames of motion image data. Spectral content in a first region of a current frame is compared to spectral content in a counterpart region in a previous frame. It is determined whether the spectral content has changed by more than a threshold value, based on the comparison. Responsive to a determination that the spectral content has changed by more than the threshold value, the spectral capture parameter for the first region is adjusted, and the adjusted spectral capture parameter is applied to an imaging system for capture of a successive frame.

  • Publication number: 20130242138
    Abstract: First and second images of a scene are captured using respectively different first and second optical paths. The first optical path includes an optical element comprising a stack of microlens arrays. A synthesized image of the scene is generated by calculations using the first and second captured images of the scene. The synthesized image has improved image characteristics as compared to both of the first captured image and the second captured image.
