The present invention is related to a method for treating or irradiating a target volume with a particle beam produced by an accelerator, comprising the steps of: deflecting said particle beam with the help of scanning means in two orthogonal (X, Y) directions, thereby constituting an irradiation plane perpendicular to the direction (Z) of the beam, defining in the irradiation plane a scanning field which circumscribes the area of intersection of target volume and irradiation plane and scanning said scanning field by drawing scan lines which form a scan pattern comprising interleaved frames of triangle waves. The scan pattern is preferably continuous and represents contiguous rhombi figures. The invention is equally related to a device and a software program or sequencer implementing the method.

A superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID) comprises a superconducting inductive loop with at least two Josephson junction, whereby a magnetic flux coupled into the inductive loop produces a modulated response up through radio frequencies. Series and parallel arrays of SQUIDs can increase the dynamic range, output, and linearity, while maintaining bandwidth. Several approaches to achieving a linear triangle-wave transfer function are presented, including harmonic superposition of SQUID cells, differential serial arrays with magnetic frustration, and a novel bi-SQUID cell comprised of a nonlinear Josephson inductance shunting the linear coupling inductance. Total harmonic distortion of less than −120 dB can be achieved in optimum cases.

Disclosed herein are a single-stage backlight inverter and a method for driving the same. The single-stage backlight inverter comprises a main oscillator for generating a predetermined triangle-wave oscillation signal, a predetermined clock signal and an inverted clock signal, and an output drive controller responsive to the triangle-wave oscillation signal, clock signal and inverted clock signal from the main oscillator and first and second reference voltages set therein. The second reference voltage has a level set to an intermediate level of the triangle-wave oscillation signal. The output drive controller is adapted to generate a first drive control signal and generate a second drive control signal. The inverter further comprises a first output unit for outputting a pair of first switching signals in response to the first drive control signal, and a second output unit for outputting a pair of second switching signals in response to the second drive control signal.

Abstract of Disclosure An improved class BD (3-state) switching amplifier is provided requiring fewer power switching devices, and providing improved immunity to power-supply-induced distortion and greatly reduced notch distortion. Asymmetric gate drive delay circuitry produces time-coincident very short positive and negative drive pulses for very small signals, enabling linear performance down to zero input. The reference triangle wave is generated such that the positive amplitude of the triangle wave is modulated by the positive supply and the negative amplitude is modulated by the negative supply, eliminating to first order any supply-induced output distortion.

The present invention relates to an oscillator outputting two triangle waves having the same amplitude and whose phases are inverted; and a pulse width modulator using the oscillator. A capacitor 3 is charged or discharged by a charge pump circuit 2 controlled by a Schmitt circuit 1 , and a voltage integrated by a two-output differential amplification circuit 6 is positively fed back to the input of the Schmitt circuit 1 to output two triangle waves having the same amplitude and whose phases are inverted. Since the output stage is composed of a differential amplification circuit, the circuit has low output impedance and is protected from wiring capacity and connected input capacity, and since integral operation is caused to be performed by the differential amplification circuit, the distortion in the waveform of the triangle waves can be prevented.

A chip seal ring that maintains the chip seal ring as a continuous barrier to contamination, while at the same time creating a desirable electrical feature in the seal ring that enables the use of an on-chip loop antenna. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the chip seal ring has a serpentine configuration, such as a square wave, triangle wave, or curved geometry, that increases the reactance and resistance of the seal ring so as to mitigate the adverse induced currents created by the magnetic coupling effects between the on-chip antenna and the seal rings, thereby improving the efficiency of an on-chip loop antenna in the presence of the seal ring.

A control circuit of a multi-mode buck-boost switching regulator and a method thereof are provided.
