Abstract: A remote surveillance system with different types of sensors and electronics moulded and embedded in a shell kind of package in such a way so as to make the complete system rugged enough and throwable up to a distance. The system may be deployed in a location wherein it is desired to remotely capture a video, environmental and voice data.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing support to a mirror assembly including a high-stiffness, low mass structure. An L-shaped support, in conjunction with a shelf member and a plurality of fingers, provides support to a chuck upon which an operation (such as a wafer inspection) can be carried out. Materials such as ALBEMET and INVAR can be used to reduce mass and increase stiffness to avoid resonance in the system. Sensors and actuators can be employed to sense input energy and adjust the structure, respectively, if resonance is deemed likely.

Abstract: A site server is provided to which devices to be managed are connected. The site server is configurable from remote locations using Internet browser technology. The site server ports can be -configured as serial ports, contact closure ports and analog ports. Users from remote locations can communicate with the site server via direct dial through a public switch telephone network, as well as Internet and intranet connections. In addition to a modem and a 10-BaseT Ethernet interface, the site server is provided with a manager agent, a MIB or similar data structure of managed objects and/or variables, a Web server, a SQL database engine, TCP/IP routing software, PPP communications support, device-translation drivers and a multi-tasking Device Management Operating System to allow the site server to map native device interfaces into operations to communicate with a manager. The site server is Web-configurable to manage different types of devices without requiring device-specific software development.
