Abstract: Described are systems and methods for segmenting images which comprise impinging a substrate surface with a particle beam at each of a plurality of sensing locations which define a subset of locations within an area of interest of the substrate surface. An intensity value associated with post-impingement particles resulting from the impinging is measured and the measured intensity based on the intensity value of the sensing location is calculated. For each of a plurality of estimated locations which define a further subset of said area of interest and a corresponding estimated intensity based on at least one of the following corresponding to one or more locations proximal to the estimated location is calculated. The plurality of estimated locations is each segmented based on the corresponding estimated intensity, each of the sensing locations, and based on the corresponding measured intensity, to correspond to one of the plurality of features.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a container includes injecting a first material into a first mold to form a top portion of a preform. The first material and a second material are injected into the first mold to form a bottom portion of the preform. The preform is disposed in a second mold. The preform is blow molded into a finished container.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a system and method for automatic extraction of integrated circuit component data. In one embodiment, a method is provided for automatically extracting transistor data from a digital representation of an integrated circuit that comprises digitally defining at least one diffusion space corresponding to a respective spatial region of the IC that comprises at least one diffusion feature. For each discrete diffusion space, diffusion space circuit features that intersect with each diffusion feature are incrementally assessed by assigning a current state value to each diffusion space circuit feature based on an identified feature characteristic associated therewith and an identified feature characteristic of an electrically adjacent feature in the diffusion space.

Abstract: Methods and systems for building a photomask from obtained pattern information relating to a photomask that exhibits defects on wafer. Spatial domain analysis is conducted on the pattern information so that corrective photomask structures can be generated and applied to a photomask layout. A photomask is built using the corrective photomask structures. The photomask is verified for effectiveness.

Abstract: A torque device for gripping and manipulating a guidewire for advancing the guidewire into a patient's vascular system. The torque device is configured for single-handed use and can be opened for repositioning the torque device relative to the guidewire and closed for gripping the guidewire to prevent axial and rotational movement relative to the guidewire. The torque device grips the guidewire at multiple spaced apart locations on the guidewire.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a container includes forming a top portion of a preform by injecting a first material into a mold. A bottom portion of the preform is formed by injecting a second material into the mold to form inner and outer layers of the bottom portion and injecting a third material into the mold to form an intermediate layer of the bottom portion that is positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer. The third material includes virgin polyethylene terephthalate and an additive.
