Patent EP-0878727-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HEISE GERHARD DR
IPC: G02B27/09
Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: The device converts several light-beams (13) into a relatively compact arrangement of these light-beams, and includes several light-conducting layers (1) in which each layer has an injection end-face (11) for injecting the respective light beam into this layer (1). The tapping end-faces (12) and the light beams tapped from the tapping end-faces in a direction (Y) normal to a given plane ( (X,Y) ) are arranged over one another. The light-conducting layers comprise level, flat layers e.g. of SiO2 which are arranged parallel to the given plane ( (X,Y) ) and in a direction (Y) normal to this plane. In this direction, both the injection end-faces and the tapping end faces of the various layers are located over one another. A light-beam deflection device (17) is formed in each layer and deflects the injected light-beam carried in this layer to the tapping end-face such that the light-beams deflected from all the deflection devices (17) are incident one above the other on the tapping end-faces in the direction (Y) normal to the given plane ( (X,Y) ). The beams may be coupled to e.g. a multi- mode optical fibre.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for obtaining improved
measurement and control of the temperature of a semiconductor
wafer (W) during processing. The apparatus includes a chuck
for holding a wafer during processing, a coolant gas supply
(16), and a temperature sensing arrangement for measuring and
controlling the temperature of the wafer during processing. A
top face of the chuck (22) over which the wafer is positioned,
is configured with a plurality of holes (34) into which the
coolant gas, such as helium, is admitted at controlled rate
and pressure. The coolant gas passes through a narrow space
(36) between the top face of the chuck and the underside of
the wafer and is evacuated via an exhaust line (30) after
being heated to (or nearly to) the temperature of the wafer.
Temperature of the now-heated coolant gas is continuously
measured by a temperature sensor arrangement which generates a
signal controlling the pressure and flow of coolant gas to the
wafer. Close control of the temperature of the wafer is
thereby maintained continuously at a desired value during
processing.

Abstract: A constructing method of a finite state machine with failure
transitions FFM is disclosed. The machine FFM is constructed
from a nondeterministic finite-state machine and a string of
external inputs. States <p,q> in the machine FFM is formed of
a state set q included in the nondeterministic finite-state
machine and a set p defined as a subset of the state set q,
and the number of states <p,q> is finite. Also, an external
input c takes the machine FFM from a current state s to a next
state g(s,c) and an output µ(s) is output from the next state
g(s,c) in cases where a value g(s,c) of a success function g
is defined, and an external input c takes the machine FFM from
the current state s to a state g(f(f···f(s)···)) determined by
repeatedly calculating a value f(s) of a failure function f
until a value g(f(f···f(s)···)) defined is found out in cases
where the value g(s,c) of the success function g is not
defined. Because all of transitions from the current state s
for all external inputs c are not defined by the success
function g, a storage capacity for storing the machine FFM is
considerably reduced.

Abstract: The self-propelled stairs moving unit A 1  moves on
stairs, putting a manual wheelchair K on the pallet
7, by driving the front crawler traveling units 1a,

connecting shaft 6 which is rotation center of the
traveling unit 1a as its center of oscillation and
the line connecting both connecting portions of the
support frames 5a connecting the front and rear

self-propelled portion) is slowly changed. When
the stairs moving unit A 1  is transferred from the
upper end of the stairs to the flat face, the front
crawler traveling unit 1a goes over the connecting
point 6 of the support frame 5a which is the load
center, it is rotated to move in a moment with the
connecting shaft 6 as its center from the full line
position along the inclined face of the stairs to
the chain line position along the flat face, but the
pallet 7 is still held to be level with the
connecting shaft 6 as its oscillation center. Then, 
the pallet can be held to be level on the transfer
part between the flat face and the stairs as well
as on the flat face and the inclined face of the
stairs, thereby no fear is given to the person on
a wheelchair on the pallet.

Abstract: The ventilator system and method use a isolating heat
exchanger to selectively transfer heat between exhaust air
leaving an enclosed space and outside air entering the enclosed
space. The system operates in three basic modes, under the
control of a microprocessor-based controller which is responsive
to the temperatures inside and outside of the enclosed space. In
the heating mode, heat is transferred from the exhaust air to the
outside air when the enclosed space requires heating. In the
cooling mode, heat is transferred from the outside air to the
exhaust air when the outside air temperature is higher than that
in the enclosed space. In the supplemental cooling mode, heat
transfer between the exhaust and outside air is reduced or
eliminated when the outside air temperature is below the desired
temperature in the enclosed space and cooling is required. In
the heating mode, the heat exchanger is selectively heated when
necessary to defrost it. A by-pass is provided for the
introduction of outside air in order to avoid heating of the
outside air by the exhaust air during the supplemental cooling
mode of operation, and/or provide fresh air to the enclosed space
without cooling the heat exchanger while it is being defrosted.
