Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a visualization. A visualization can be produced that relates to a coverage area for an element in the network. A user of this element can read the visualization and make decisions in view of the coverage area. In one instance, the user can read the visualization and select a route of travel such that a likelihood of coverage being lost during travel is relatively small.

Abstract: A cover plate or lens for an optical metrology device that is positioned under a wafer during measurement is protected with a purge device. The purge device may include a ring that extends around a periphery of the cover plate or lens. The ring includes a plurality of apertures through which a purge gas or air is expelled over the surface of the cover plate or lens. Additionally or alternatively, one or more heating elements may be provided that extend around the periphery of the cover plate or lens. The heating elements heat the cover plate above a dewpoint temperature of contaminant vapor. A heat sensor may be used to monitor the temperature of the cover plate to control the heating elements and/or to compensate for optical changes of the cover plate caused by heating during measurement of a wafer.

Abstract: In an allocation of subscribers to one or more wireless carrier rate plans, a number of wireless voice and/or data carrier rate plans is selected and each subscriber's historical wireless time usage for each of a number of foregone time intervals is determined. For each combination of subscriber and rate plan a first expression is defined that includes a unique variable and a cost associated with assigning the subscriber to the rate plan for at least one of the time intervals. Constraints that collectively ensure that subscribers are allocated to a specified minimum or maximum number of rate plans, or restrict a subscriber to be allocated to just one rate plan are determined. The expressions and constraints are processed by an optimal solution solver running on a computer to determine an optimal assignment of subscribers to at least one rate plan.

Abstract: A digital apparatus having a cable comprising a plurality of high-speed and low-speed signal carrying conductors, the conductors carrying the low-speed signals are bypassed to a signal ground with selected values of capacitance so as to become virtual signal ground return conductors for the high-speed signal conductors. The selected values of capacitance have a lower impedance then the characteristic impedance of the conductors in the cable. The cable may be a multi conductor cable, a ribbon cable, a flex cable, a twisted pair cable, etc. In a similar fashion, signal conductors on a printed circuit board, not having a separate ground plane layer, may create virtual signal ground returns from the low-speed signal carrying conductors that are proximate to the high-speed signal carrying conductors for reduction of radiated electromagnetic radio frequency interference.

The invention also provides isolated bispecific antibodies comprising an antibody that selectively binds Fc?RIIB, and a second antibody that specifically binds an activating receptor. Various uses, including therapeutic uses, for those antibodies are also described, including administration with anti-tumor antibodies and methods of inhibiting immune responses and suppressing histamine release.

A system is described using tanks for growing Parvocalanus sp nauplii with a microalgae feed and transferring the grown Parvocalanus sp nauplii to tanks containing the fish larvae, where the functions of the tanks is interchanged. The Parvocalanus sp feed provide for higher numbers of larger juvenile fish and the rearing of larvae heretofore not reared in culture.
