  • Patent number: 7054148
    Abstract: A cradle apparatus includes a built-in scanning module, and is used for mounting a portable electronic device. The cradle apparatus includes a housing and a scanning module. The housing has an accommodating slot with a connector therein and a transparent scanning region on the bottom thereof, below which the scanning module is placed. When a portable electronic device is connected to the connector of the cradle apparatus, the portable electronic device can control the scanning module to scan a document placed atop the transparent scanning region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5760409
    Abstract: Electrical charge neutralization effects are known to be factors that affect the dose or concentrations of beam treatment by high current implanters. Raising beam energies to 1 MeV and beyond requires an understanding of the effects of both charge stripping and charge neutralization as well as a numerically efficient model compensating for these effects. Charge stripping generates ions of a higher charge state and may cause the measured electronic current from a Faraday cup to overestimate the true particle current. An analysis is based on the concept of an effective charge state for an ion beam and results in a more general interpretation that covers both the charge stripping effect as well as ion neutralization. Dose control using the techniques requires two adjustable parameters: an apparent cross section of interaction between the beam and particles in the beam path and the ratio of the final steady charge state to the initial charge state.
