Abstract: A method, a system and a computer readable medium are provided. The method may include obtaining or receiving first area information representative of a first area of a first layer of an inspected object; wherein the inspected object further comprises a second layer that comprises a second area; wherein the second layer is buried under the first layer; directing electrons of a primary electron beam to interact with the first area; directing electrons of the primary electron beam to interact with the second area; generating detection signals responsive to electrons that were scattered or reflected from at least one of the first and second areas; and determining at least one spatial relationship between at least one feature of the first area and at least one feature of the second area based on the detection signals and on the first area information.

Abstract: Requests for communications and for establishing communication sessions with an intended addressee are detected and notifications regarding the pending communication request are provided to the intended addressee. If the addressee is operating on-line in an IP environment, the messages are delivered to the addressee via a real-time mechanism. However, if the addressee is not operating on-line in an IP environment, a message is sent via an alternate means, such as SMS, email etc. For on-line addressees, if the addressee is presently running an application program, the type of application program can be ascertained and the notification message can be compatible with the rendering functions of the application program.

Abstract: A method for inspecting a region, including irradiating the region via an optical system with a pump beam at a pump wavelength. A probe beam at a probe wavelength irradiates the region so as to generate returning probe beam radiation from the region. The beams are scanned across the region at a scan rate. A detector receives the returning probe radiation, and forms an image of the region that corresponds to a resolution better than pump and probe Abbe limits of the optical system. Roles of the pump and probe beams may be alternated, and a modulation frequency of the pump beam may be changed, to produce more information. Information extracted from the probe signal can also differentiate between different materials on the region.

Abstract: There are disclosed systems and methods for dynamically managing resources, such as bandwidth and delay in networks, such as cellular networks. These systems and methods dynamically and automatically adjust the bandwidth and delay in individual shared access media or cells “on the fly”, to optimize user experience, usage and packet transmissions in the network.

Abstract: A method and system for aiming a small caliber weapon at a target wherein a light beam is directed from the weapon towards an area of the target so as to form a light spot on an object in the target area and the light spot is imaged on a two-dimensional detector so as to form an image thereon whose displacement from an origin of the detector bears a predetermined relationship to a corresponding displacement of the object from a center of the target. The image of the light spot is projected on to a visor worn by a marksman having a reference mark thereon for visually determining the center of the target, and the cycle is repeated as required until the projected image of the light spot on the visor is coincident with the reference mark.
