Patent EP-1298965-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KONDO HIROYUKI
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 2002-08-07
Abstract: Radiation-generating devices are disclosed that are suitable for use in a
microlilhography apparatus. The devices utilize multiple plasma-discharge radiation
sources (e.g., capillary discharge X-ray sources) and produce a high output with a
high repeat frequency while minimizing the thermal loads to which the individual
radiation sources are subjected. In one embodiment, multiple radiation sources
(discharge units) are coupled to a movable substrate, such as a rotary plate. The
movable substrate can be controlled such that a selected one of the multiple
discharge units can be moved into a discharge position and aligned along a discharge
axis. The device may also include a preliminary-ionization source facing the
discharge axis. Alternatively, multiple preliminary4onization sources may be
coupled to the movable substrate such that a selected one of the preliminary
ionization sources energizes the target gas in the selected discharge unit.

Abstract: A digital system is provided with a secure mode (3 rd  level of
privilege) built in a non-invasive way on a processor system
that includes a processor core, instruction and data caches, a
write buffer and a memory management unit. A secure execution
mode is thus provided on a platform where the only trusted
software is the code stored in ROM. In particular the OS is not
trusted, all native applications are not trusted. A secure
execution mode is provided that allows virtual addressing when a
memory management unit (MMU) is enabled. The secure execution
mode allows instruction and data cache to be enabled. A secure
execution mode is provided that allows all the system
interruptions to be unmasked. The secure mode is entered
through a unique entry point. The secure execution mode can be
dynamically entered and exited with full hardware assessment of
the entry/exit conditions. A specific set of entry conditions
is monitored that account for caches, write buffer and MMU being
enabled. The structure of the activation sequence code accounts
for caches, write buffer and MMU being enabled. The structure
of the exit sequences code accounts for caches, write buffer and
MMU being enabled. A specific way is provided to manage a safe
exit of secure mode under generic interruptions and allows
return from interruption through entry point and activation
sequence and a proper resuming of the secure execution. A
specific way is provided to manage the MMU in secure mode and
provide data exchange between secure and non-secure environment.

Abstract: A method of enabling competitive wagering in a casino game provides a
vehicle for a casino to offer payoff amounts for winning wagers in a casino
game that are higher than conventional casino game payoff amounts while
maintaining a satisfactory casino advantage. With this method, payoff amounts
result in non-denominated fractional payouts, which can be processed
according to a casino preference. In one embodiment, the non-denominated
fractional payouts are accumulated during repeated game play and settled after
game play is completed. Alternatively, rules can be established for rounding
fractional amounts to a nearest denominated payout, converting the
accumulated non-denominated fractional payouts into casino promotional
awards, and the like. The methodology can be suited for any game format
including casino table games, electronic games, internet casinos, etc.
