  • Patent number: 9606054
    Abstract: A holder and apparatus for terahertz imaging and/or spectroscopy of beads, particles or microparticles, and methods for terahertz imaging and/or spectroscopy of beads, particles or microparticles and making the holder are disclosed. The holder includes a tray having a substantially planar upper surface, and one or more offsets above or below the substantially planar upper surface. Each offset is configured to hold one of the beads, particles or microparticles, and has a height or depth configured to minimize or eliminate interference between reflections of the terahertz radiation from the tray and reflections of the terahertz radiation from the bead, particle or microparticle in or on the offset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2017
    Assignee: ADVANTEST CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 7287114
    Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer program products, implementing techniques for receiving, at a first device of a switched fabric network, requests from one or more applications, each request being destined for a second device of the network, the first device being connected to the second device by a virtual channel; generating, for each request, a descriptor comprising a traffic class designation; and adding the descriptor to an ordered list of descriptors, the descriptor having a location in the ordered list that is based on the traffic class designation of the descriptor.

  • Patent number: 7225245
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method of remotely providing diagnostic procedures to a processing system. Upon being launched on a processing system, an agent process may receive data to provide one or more diagnostic procedures from a data network coupled to the processing system. One or more of the diagnostic procedures may then be executed to provide diagnostic results.

  • Patent number: 6868507
    Abstract: A system and method of using of diagnostic procedures through a firmware interface in a processing system are described. A first physical area of a memory may store one or more diagnostic modules comprising machine-readable instructions for performing one or more diagnostic procedures of a processing system. A second physical area of the memory may store an operating system capable of initiating execution of the one or more diagnostic procedures through the firmware interface.

  • Patent number: 6393560
    Abstract: An operating system may be more efficiently initiated and restarted by making a virtual image of the configuration settings for a base system configuration. These settings may be stored and may be used to quickly initiate the system in its base configuration, for example, using an executive. The base configuration may be automatically modified in response to system hardware or software configuration changes. These changes may be stored with the base configuration information. When a crash occurs, the virtual image may be used to quickly restore the system without the necessity for rebooting the operating system.
