  • Publication number: 20240091561
    Abstract: A radiation therapy system is disclosed. The radiation therapy system includes a gantry, a first radiation source, and a second radiation source. The gantry is configured to have a cavity extending in a direction along a rotation axis, and the cavity is configured to house a target object. The first radiation source is mounted on the gantry, and configured to emit a treatment beam to a treatment area of the target object. The second radiation source is mounted on the gantry, and configured to emit an imaging beam to an imaging area of the target object. The treatment area partially overlaps the imaging area. A rotation plane of the first radiation source and a rotation plane of the second radiation source are distributed in a direction along the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 7369546
    Abstract: A fast DTMF detector for filtering a packetized linear voice signal to identify whether the voice signal contains a DTMF tone. The detector includes a plurality of parallel notch filters for knocking down DTMF tones. The energies of the filtered signals output by the notch filters are calculated and criteria based upon the calculated energies are applied to determine if the voice signal contains a DTMF tone. The criteria include an energy differential test, a twist test, a low frequency tolerance test, a high frequency tolerance test, a packetized linear voice signal energy level test, a dial tone filtered signal energy level test, and a 1004 Hz filtered signal energy level test.

  • Patent number: 6390902
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-conditioner arrangement of a CMP system. The CMP system according to the present invention comprises a polishing table, a polishing pad positioned on the polishing table, a plurality of carrier heads on the polishing pad functioning in holding semiconductor wafers, and a plurality of conditioners positioned between the two neighboring carrier heads on the polishing pad for recovering the surface texture of the polishing pad. Herein, a plurality of conditioners are in a one-to-one arrangement to a plurality of carrier heads, each conditioner producing a back and forth motion in a radiant direction. Therefore, the lifetime of the polishing pad is extended, the wafer-to-wafer difference is reduced, and spatial coverage is increased.
