Abstract: A mobile wireless bridge (MWB) (110) is able to bridge traffic in either direction between a wireless LAN (140) and a wireless WAN (130), and support roaming of LAN clients (141-143, 151-153) and of the MWB (110) itself. Through the MWB (110), wired (150) and wireless LAN (140) clients (141-143, 151-153) and users are provided Internet (190) connectivity even if the LAN client (141-143, 151-153) is not otherwise able to access the wireless WAN (120). Preferred MWBs (110) will utilize mobile cellular communication networks 100 as part of a WAN (120, 130) used to obtain access to Internet (190) resources. LAN clients (141-143, 151-153) and users can also access each other through the MWB (110) with the MWB (110) functioning as a hub, switch, gateway, and/or access point. Some MWBs (110) will be adapted to access multiple types of LANs (140, 150) and multiple types of WANs (120, 130).

Abstract: This invention relates generally to three dimensional volumetric display. Optical data is supplied by an optical data generator through an optical interfacing unit to a rotating display which produces three dimensional volumetric images. The optical interfacing unit transforms non-rotating incoming optical data into rotating optical data which is synchronous with the rotating display. If the optical data generator is viewed backwards along the optical path from the display, looking into the output of the interfacing unit, the position and orientation of the optical data generator will be seen as invariant with respect to the rotating display surface.

Abstract: A novel vapor phase Si cleaning process comprises simultaneous exposure of the Si surface to a flux of neutral atomic hydrogen and to a flux of ionized particles. The former flux is substantially derived from a plasma, typically a microwave plasma, that is spaced apart from a second plasma, typically a RF plasma, from which the ionized particles are derived. The novel method can be implemented at relatively low cost and facilitates adjustment of the ratio between the two fluxes to result in optimal removal of, e.g., native oxide from the surface.
