  • Patent number: 11029976
    Abstract: Multi-inheritance within a single-inheritance, container-based data processing environment is provided for facilitating developing, storing, shipping and/or running software applications. More particularly, a facility is provided which includes generating, based on a configuration file with a multi-inheritance instruction, a composited image for a new container from multiple exiting images of the single-inheritance container-based environment. The multiple existing images are identified in the multi-inheritance instruction, and the generating includes creating a composited directory file which, in part, references layers of the multiple existing images and associating a command instruction of the configuration file with the composited file. The composited image is then built in associated with starting the new container based on the composited directory file and the associated command.

    Abstract: A system for determining an absolute carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of ultrashort laser pulses includes a laser system for generating a laser beam including ultrashort optical pulses of a duration of less than 10 fs, an ultrabroadband quarter-wave plate configured to polarize the laser beam, and a gas jet emitting a continuous jet stream into the laser beam. The system includes focusing optics to adjust a focal spot of the laser beam to the gas jet, and a detector arrangement including a beam block and a microchannel plate (MCP) imaging detector, wherein the laser beam is directed to the detector arrangement. The method involves using angular streaking to determine the absolute CEP of both elliptically and linearly polarized light.

  • Publication number: 20210109042
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus and methods for applying X-ray reflectometry (XRR) in characterizing three dimensional nanostructures supported on a flat substrate with a miniscule sampling area and a thickness in nanometers. In particular, this disclosure is targeted for addressing the difficulties encountered when XRR is applied to samples with intricate nanostructures along all three directions, e.g. arrays of nanostructured poles or shafts. Convergent X-ray with long wavelength, greater than that from a copper anode of 0.154 nm and less than twice of the characteristic dimensions along the film thickness direction, is preferably used with appropriate collimations on both incident and detection arms to enable the XRR for measurements of samples with limited sample area and scattering volumes.

  • Publication number: 20210099095
    Abstract: A plurality of switching units are provided, and a controller performs control in an antiphase manner to approximately synchronize a rise of a control signal applied to one of the switching units with a fall of a control signal for switching applied to any one of the other switching units and synchronize a fall of the control signal applied to the one of the switching units with a rise of the control signal for switching applied to the any one of the other switching units. When control in an antiphase manner is disabled, control is performed to prevent rises or falls from coinciding with each other between the switching units. Output signals from the switching units are input to rectifiers and are combined by a combiner to become an output signal.
