Abstract: The protection circuit serves for the monitoring of output voltages of a power supply unit which has a normal mode and a standby mode. The protection circuit comprises a first switching stage (T 1 ), coupled to the current input ( 1 ) of which are output voltages (U 5 -U 8 ) which are present both in the normal mode and in the standby mode and coupled to the control input of which are output voltages (U 1 -U 3 ) which are only present in the normal mode. A control signal (Us), by which the power supply unit is switched over between normal mode and standby mode, is coupled to the control input ( 2 ) of this switching stage (T 1 ). As a result, by means of the control signal, the output voltages which are only present in the normal mode are blocked in the standby mode by the control signal, so that in the standby mode only the output voltages (U 5 -U 8 ) which are coupled to the current input ( 1 ) are monitored.

Abstract: A method of irradiating to pattern a photosensitive layer such as a resist (L2) immersed in a fluid (L3), involves applying a removable transparent layer (L4, L5), projecting the radiation onto the resist through the immersion fluid and through the transparent layer, such that imperfections in the fluid are out of focus as projected on the surface, and subsequently removing the transparent layer. The transparent layer can help distance such imperfections from the focus of the radiation on the surface and so can reduce or eliminate shadowing. Hence the irradiation can be more complete, and defects reduced. It can be particularly effective for imperfections in the form of small bubbles or particles in the immersion fluid especially at the fluid/surface interface for example. The radiation can be for any purpose including inspection, processing, patterning and so on. The removal of the transparent layer can be combined with a step of developing the resist layer.

Abstract: An antenna arrangement for a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radio system, the antenna arrangement transmitting and receiving in three essentially uncorrelated polarizations. The arrangement includes three parallel, stacked patches separated by first and second slots. A first feeding line feeds the first patch, and at least a second and third feeding line feed the second patch. In a first operating mode, the first feeding line generates a first constant E-field in the first slot between the edges of the first and second patches. In a second operating mode, the second feeding line contributes to a second, sinusoidally varying E-field in the second slot between the edges of the second and third patches. In a third operating mode, the third feeding line contributes to a third, sinusoidally varying E-field in the second slot between the edges of the second and third patches.

Abstract: The invention provides a technique for optimizing transmission conditions to achieve large-capacity transmission, and also provides peripheral techniques for the practical implementation of optical multiplexing that makes large-capacity transmission possible. A transmission characteristic is measured in a transmission characteristic measuring section (53), and control of signal light wavelength in a tunable light source (44), control of the amount of prechirping, control of the amount of dispersion compensation, and/or control of optical power are performed to achieve the best transmission characteristic. Wavelength dispersion is deliberately introduced by a dispersion compensator, to reduce nonlinear effects. A tunable laser is used to optimize signal light wavelength for each optical amplification repeater section. Peripheral techniques, such as drift compensation, clock extraction, optical signal channel identification, clock phase stabilization, etc., are provided for the implementation of optical multiplexing. <IMAGE>
