  • Publication number: 20230040534
    Abstract: Presented systems and methods facilitate efficient and effective monitoring of particle beams. In some embodiments, a radiation gun system comprises: a particle beam gun that generates a particle beam, and a gun control component that controls the gun particle beam generation characteristics, including particle beam fidelity characteristics. The particle beam characteristics can be compatible with FLASH radiation therapy. Resolution control of the particle beam generation can enable dose delivery at an intra-pulse level and micro-bunch level. The micro-bunch can include individual bunches per each 3 GHz RF cycle within the 5 to 15 ?sec pulse-width. The FLASH radiation therapy dose delivery can have a bunch level resolution of approximately 4.4×10{circumflex over (?)}-6 cGy/bunch.

  • Publication number: 20190204866
    Abstract: A jack may comprise a contact clip and a housing. The housing may be generally cylindrical and bounded by an imaginary cylinder. The housing may define a substantially cylindrical cavity and a contact aperture. The substantially cylindrical cavity may have an opening at a first end of the housing. The contact aperture may be configured to receive the contact clip. The contact aperture may extends from an outer surface of the housing to the cylindrical cavity. The contact clip may be friction-fitted into the contact aperture and extend into the substantially cylindrical cavity.

  • Patent number: 10261555
    Abstract: A head mounted display device may include a housing, including a user-facing cavity and an electronics compartment. At least one fan may be installed in the electronics compartment. A plurality of intake ports may be defined in a peripheral wall portion of the user-facing cavity, and at least one air discharge port may be defined in a wall portion of the electronics compartment. A plurality of air channels may extend between the user-facing cavity and the electronics compartment. Operation of the at least one fan may draw external air into the housing through the plurality of air intake ports into the user—facing cavity, and into the electronics compartment through the plurality of air channels, for discharge from the housing through the at least one discharge port, to provide cooling of the user-facing cavity and the electronics compartment.

  • Patent number: 9477328
    Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus includes a trackpad that includes a cover member having a top surface and a switch coupled to the cover member. At least two spring members are coupled to the trackpad and are each disposed at a non-zero distance from each other and are each configured to collectively bias the trackpad in a first position in which the top surface of the cover member is in a first plane. The trackpad is movable to a second position in which the top surface of the cover member is in a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane when an input force is exerted on the top surface of the cover member. The switch is configured to trigger an electrical signal within a computer when the trackpad is moved to its second position.
