Inventor: BIJKERK FREDERIK DR
IPC: G02B1/115
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: 1. Multilayer system and its production. 
     2.1 Multilayer systems, such as those used as mirrors in the extreme
ultraviolet wavelength range, suffer contamination or oxidation during
storage in air and in long-time operation, i.e. when exposed to EUV
radiation in a vacuum environment with certain partial pressures of
water or oxygen, which causes a serious reduction in reflectivity. The
multilayer system according to the invention will have a long life with
constantly high reflectivity. 
     2.2 The multilayer systems according to the invention have protective layers
made from ruthenium, aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, molybdenum
carbide, carbon, titanium nitride or titanium dioxide. The multilayer
systems according to the invention are produced by direct, ion-beam-supported
growth of the protective layer or, except in the case of
ruthenium, by mixing aluminium or titanium with oxygen or nitrogen at
atomic level, with ion-beam support, to produce an outermost protective
layer with ion-beam support. 
     2.3 The multilayer systems according to the invention are not only resistant
to contamination and oxidation, but can also be cleaned if necessary,
without losing reflectivity. Because of their long life with constantly
high reflectivity, they are particularly suitable for use in semiconductor
lithography in the soft X-ray range or extreme ultraviolet wavelength
range.

Abstract: In a video processing method, plural pieces of digital data
such as video and audio data are inputted together with an
instruction signal indicating whether the plural pieces of
digital data are to be multiplexed or not, and the plural pieces
of digital data are multiplexed when the instruction signal
instructs to multiplex the digital data, and then the multiplexed
digital data are outputted together with a flag indicating
whether the digital data are multiplexed or not. Therefore, when
video and audio data are not multiplexed or when there is a scene
description for handling plural pieces of video data, the video
and audio data can be recorded or transmitted in like manner as
multiplexed data.

Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-cell storage battery including a housing and, enclosing the housing in gas-tight fashion, a housing cover assembly having an upper cover panel and a lower cover panel with a degassing duct between the upper and lower cover panels which encompasses a multiple array of interconnected, mutually matched labyrinth chambers, fluidically links all cells, opens out at a forward end into at least one gas vent, and is closed off by a spark suppressor. To arrive at a storage battery in which adequate degassing is assured under all operating conditions while at the same time any leakage of acid accumulated in the degassing duct is largely prevented even when the internal pressure is high, the invention proposes a design whereby the gas vent is positioned at an essentially perpendicular angle relative to the direction of gas flow through the spark suppressor while in the area between the spark suppressor and the gas vent the degassing duct is provided with a widened section forming a collecting chamber which, when the storage battery is in its normal position, is situated underneath the gas vent.
