Abstract: The present invention provides a method for structurally designing that article of manufacture and a constructed and operational article of manufacture that will allow the inclusion of minimally coupled higher order/degree shim coils in any magnetic resonance apparatus. The novel system and methodology includes determining the shim coil terminal voltage without any prior or advance knowledge of the configuration of the electrical windings of the imaging gradient coil that is inducing that voltage.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing semiconductor substrates provides a substrate stage being a rotatable disc with a solid surface and a terraced edge with upper, intermediate and lower portions of increasing diameter. A hollow edge ring rests on the intermediate edge portion and a substrate disposed on the rotatable disc is lifted and transported by robot blades positioned beneath the edge ring and which lift the edge ring which holds the substrate around its edges. The rotatable disc and edge ring find application in MOCVD and other semiconductor manufacturing tools.

Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display (200) includes a liquid crystal display panel (202), a touch panel (201) adjacent to the liquid crystal display panel, a display driving integrated circuit (206) arranged on the liquid crystal display panel, and a printed circuit board (203). One end of the printed circuit board electrically connects to the touch panel, and another end of the printed circuit board electrically connects to the display driving integrated circuit.
