Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for fast and accurate mapping of the thickness of a thin film (10), particularly on a silicon wafer. The method comprises of irradiating the thin film (10) with excitation radiation of at least two wavelengths, wherein a luminescent image is captured during irradiation. In a preferred embodiment, the silicon wafer can move, for example during transport on a belt in a production line. These procedures can be used for online diagnostics of silicon wafer thicknesses in the production of solar cells. Exemplary embodiments include a method and device for obtaining images of an entire silicon wafer and can provide quick feedback for process control if preferably connected to a computing unit.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to, dosing regimens for the administration of topiramate, optionally in combination with one or more sympathomimetic agents such as phentermine. The dosing regimens can, for example, limit the exposure of subjects to topiramate, identify subjects who are unlikely to obtain a benefit from treatment with escalating dosages of topiramate (with or without the sympathomimetic agent, such as phentermine), or both, thereby reducing or eliminating harmful or intolerable side effects in subjects who are unlikely to respond to treatment and maximizing the therapeutic benefits from treatment in subjects who do respond.
