Abstract: The dimension of the main field as a unit region
for exposure is set to an integral submultiple of the
arrangement pitch of the LSI to be exposed, by the
control computer 62, and the exposure data stored in
the form associated with electron beams from a data
generation circuit 64 is limited to one-chip data
alone in units of a stripe. This data is repeatedly
read out to write the stripe. Further, a storage
circuit 66 is provided to store the exposure data by
means of a double buffer memory unit for each electron
beam. While LSI is written according to one of the
buffers, the next exposure stripe data is prepared on
the other buffer, thereby bringing about a substantial
reduction in the required speed of the exposure data
generation circuit.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method and apparatus for reloading only those frames in
which errors are detected during the FPGA configuration. A configuration data frame for a
FPGA is sumultaneously loaded to the Frame register of the FPGA and also to an error
detection circuit which detects errors with the loaded frame. An error counter value is
maintained by the apparatus and is incremented each time an error with a frame is detected.
The incremented value is compared by a Comparator circuit with a pre-determined threshold
value 'n'. If a match is found then the configuration process is aborted, else the data frame is
reloaded in the configuration memory, transferred again to the frame register and recheked
for errors. If no error os detected with the reloaded frame, the error counter value is reset and
the next frame is loaded until the FPGA configuration process is over.

Abstract: A new and novel device for controlling a braking force of the vehicle
comprises a braking force boosting control portion that increases the
braking force in response to a detection of a possibility of a collision with an
obstacle in the driving course of the vesicle; and a boost-reducing control
portion that controls the boosting control portion so as to reduce the braking
force when steering operation is executed by a driver of the vehicle as
compared to a braking force to be generated when no steering operation is
executed. The braking forces on individual wheels are reduced depending
upon the lateral force on the corresponding wheel. In the device of the
present invention, the preclash safety braking operation does not interfere
with steering operation of the driver so that the steering controllability may
be ensured while the vehicle is slowed down.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an open cell foam ceramic material of high
mechanical resistance for porous burners, in which the outer and inner walls of
the bridges of hollow triangular cross-section, which form the structure of the
foam material, are covered with a thin film of silicon carbide. The film entirely
fills the fissures between the internal convex walls of the cavities of the
bridges, and corresponding to them forms a rounded-off connecting zone between
two neighbouring walls. These rounded-off connecting zones prevent
formation of deep fissures (cracks or notches) in the bridges and decisively
reinforce the foam ceramic material produced according to the inventive
method. 
     The method of producing comprises three new phases of processing, in comparison
to the state of the art, which are:
     Covering of the bridges with a polymer of low viscosity and polymerising it at
low temperature;   Pyrolysis for transforming the coating polymer into a thin porous carbon film;   A thermal treatment at high temperature for infiltrating the foam ceramic material
with metallic silica and transforming the porous carbon film into a silicon
carbide film.
