Abstract: Apparatus for enhancing vision of a user includes a focal modulation device (22), which is adapted to focus light from objects in a field of view of the user onto the retina while alternating between at least first and second focal states that are characterized by different, respective first and second focal depths, at a rate in excess of a flicker-fusion frequency of the user.

Abstract: A super-linear feedforward amplifier, for amplifying radio-frequency input signals produced in one or more frequency channels over an input band, includes a radio-frequency power amplifier, which amplifies the signals. A signal cancellation circuit loop generates an error signal responsive to distortion products in the amplified signals. A digital correction block digitally equalizes the input signals responsive to a transfer function of the amplifier, whereby the input signals are substantially canceled out of the error signal over the entire input band. An error cancellation circuit loop subtracts the error signal from the amplified signals to generate a linearized output signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for cleaving a relatively thin semiconductor wafer for inspecting a target feature on a workface thereof by: producing, on a first lateral face of the semiconductor wafer, laterally of the workface on one side of the target feature, an indentation in alignment with the target feature; and inducing by impact, in a second lateral face of the semiconductor wafer, laterally of the workface on the opposite side of the target feature, a shock wave substantially in alignment with the target feature and the indentation on the first lateral face, to split the semiconductor wafer along a cleavage plane essentially coinciding with the target feature and the indentation.

Abstract: A method whereby the image produced in a coherence probe microscope is modified by means of a certain specific additive electronic transformation for the purpose of improving the measurement of selected features. The technique improves measurement accuracy on optically complex materials, in particular it improves the accuracy of linewidth measurement on semiconductor linewidths.
