Title: Providing services ducts under flooring
Inventor: SMITH ROGER
IPC: E04B5/12
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: Moulding <B>240</B>, <B>242</B> are used to separate the topsides of joists <B>234</B>, <B>236</B> and the undersides of floorboards <B>252</B>, <B>254</B>, <B>256</B> and provide a void between them. The mouldings may run parallel or transverse to the joists. The mouldings have a rebate along their length providing a ledge for a floorboard edge to rest on. The rebate is deep enough to accommodate the thickness of the floorboard and the thickness of the moulding below the ledge creates a services void between the joists and floorboards for cables, pipes etc. The mouldings may have a second rebate, parallel to the first, to support a second floorboard edge, leaving a ridge <B>248</B>, <B>250</B> which separates the floorboards. Mouldings running parallel to the joists can rest on bridging sections <B>238</B>. A services supporting platform is formed by flat panels supported on the lower flanges of parallel I-beam joists.

Title: Thermal control of image pattern distortions
Inventor: CHALUPKA ALFRED
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 2002-02-11
Abstract: In a masked lithography system (100) a mask (102) with a mask pattern is imaged onto a target (104) by means of a lithography beam (101, 103). For controlling image pattern distortions, a plurality of metrology structures are provided in the mask and are imaged onto a metrology means (150). There, the positions of images of the metrology structures are measured; these positions are compared with respective nominal positions, and a plurality of radiation intensities, each associated with a respective location on the mask, are calculated in a control unit (200). The locations on the mask are heated with the respective radiation intensities by means of a radiation projector means with a radiation source (300) positioned outside the lithography beam path; the heating of the mask thus effected generates distortions in the mask pattern due to local thermal expansion. The distortion control procedure may be iterated in a feedback loop.

Title: Determining geophone ground coupling information from power spectrum of acquired seismic record
Inventor: BAGAINI CLAUDIO
IPC: G01V13/00
Filed: 2003-08-01
Abstract: Information about the ground coupling of a seismic receiver is obtained from a power spectrum (amplitude vs frequency) determined for a record acquired at the receiver. The determined power spectrum is compared with a reference power spectrum, which may be previously known or may be estimated from the best coupled receiver in a group of receivers. The acquired record may comprise only ambient noise recorded at the receiver prior to the first arrival. A resonance coupling frequency and/or a coupling damping coefficient may be obtained, and such information may be used to derive a coupling correction operator (calibration filter) to correct the acquired seismic data for the effects of imperfect coupling.
