A motion correction system and method for motion correction for an x-ray tube is presented. One embodiment of the motion correction system includes a sensing unit coupled to an x-ray tube to determine a distance with which an impingement location of an electron beam generated by the x-ray tube deviates from a determined location due to motion of the x-ray tube. The motion correction system further includes a control unit coupled to the sensing unit to generate a control signal corresponding to the distance with which the impingement location of the electron beam deviates. Also, the motion correction system includes a deflection unit coupled to the control unit to steer the electron beam to the determined location based on the generated control signal.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for utilizing existing systems and components in a cellular network for managing network functionality to reduce event pressure between managers and agents. In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the invention, a filter, an event counter module, and a performance measurement module, all residing on the agent, perform event notification filtering, counting, and thresholding in the agent. In accordance with the preferred embodiments, only an alarm is sent to the manager from the agent if event notifications exceed a threshold that is established by the manager on the agent.
