Title: Holographic patterning method and tool employing prism coupling
Inventor: HOBBS DOUGLAS C
IPC: G03H1/00
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A holographic lithography tool (110) for generating a light interference pattern used to expose a photosensitive medium (119) employs a refracting prism (121) in the optical path between divergent illuminating beams (127a, 127b). The prism is optically coupled to the photosensitve medium via an index matching fluid (123). By increasing the incident beam angle and the index of refraction, the prism reduces the size of features recorded in the photosensitive material. The divergent illuminating beams are generated by a beam delivery system which preferably employs easily adjustable fiber optic cables (176, 184). Use of the prism coupling technique facilitates use of fiber-optic-compatible wavelengths in the blue region of the spectrum in a variety of applications, such as distributed feedback grating fabrication.

Title: Adaptive cross-sectional area computation using statistical signatures
Inventor: GRUNWALD SORIN
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: According to the invention, an object in an ultrasound image is characterised by considering various in-vivo object parameters and their variability within the ultrasonic imaging data. Specifically, it is assumed that the object may be defined in terms of statistical properties (or object identifying parameters), which are consistently different from properties of the environment. Such properties are referred to as the object's signature. The statistical properties are calculated (E) at selected locations within the image to determine (G) if they fall within a predetermined range of values which represents the object. If within this range, the locations are marked to indicate they are positioned within the object. A border may then be drawn around the object and the area calculated (H).
