Abstract: A plate with substantially constant thickness is used to compensate for the
residual distortion in the image projected by a high-quality projection lens for lithography.
The two surfaces of the plate have an identical aspherical profile, whose shape has been

Abstract: A sender (101) creates a voicemail message that includes a plurality of
messaging elements that include embedded instructions that define a structure of
the message. Other messaging elements may include textual fragments, audio
fragments that refer to audio data files that are associated with the message, and/or
references to textual fragments and/or audio fragments that are stored at specified
locations. The instructions may define a hierarchical menu structure which, when
the message is presented to the recipient (106) by a messaging system (104), offers
the recipient different navigational choices from which the recipient may select and
thus effect the information content of what is presented. The structured message is
sent by the sender to the recipient at an address on a messaging system that stores
the message and is capable of interpreting and assembling the messaging elements
in accordance with the embedded instruction and playing-out the message to the
recipient when the recipient accesses the system and retrieves the message from
storage. The structured message may also include links to a specific destination, to
which the messaging system establishes a connection if the link is selected by the
recipient during play-out of the message. Further, the messaging system can gather
information from the recipient during play-out and forward that information to a
specified destination, which may respond with another structured message. In the
described embodiment, a phone markup language is used to define the structure
and the inherent embedded instructions associated with the structure of the
message.

Abstract: A fluid actuator (10) achieves precise placement without external feedback
by employing a spool (44) slidable within a piston (20). The relative positions of
the piston (20) and the spool (44) determine whether pressurized fluid is applied to extend
the piston, to retract the piston, or to maintain the position of the piston. The
spool (44) is positioned by balancing a spring (46) force on one end with a variable
pressure force on the other end, the variable pressure fluid for providing the
variable pressure force being supplied by a pulse width modulation valve (28)
which is mounted in the actuator (10). The pressure of the fluid supplied by the
modulation valve (28) is a function of an input such as an electrical signal received by
the valve. The position of the piston (20) is determined by the position of the spool (44).
In an exemplary embodiment, an actuator positions the vanes of a turbocharger
of a motor vehicle engine. The pressurized fluid used is the crankcase oil of the
engine.

Abstract: A ball screw capable of reducing metal fatigue of a screw shaft (1) and a
nut (2) to have a long life. At least three separate ball
trains (4a,4b,4c) each circulating around a screw shaft are intervened between the screw shaft and the nut. Ball
diameters of the separate trains are set to vary with a gradient such that the
balls (3a,3b,3c) in the separate trains uniformly bear a load on the screw shaft and the
nut. By setting diameters of the balls in the peripheral trains smaller than
those of the balls in the central train, the load is distributed uniformly over the
engaging portions of the screw shaft and the nut and concentration of stress at
the peripheral portion of the nut is eliminated. Thus, the screw shaft and the
nut are prevented from being damaged by metal fatigue caused by the
concentrated stress in a long term usage to elongate a life of the ball screw.

Abstract: In a piezoelectric/electrostrictive device a driving
portion with a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element (2)
moves a movable portion (4), and a fixing portion holds the
driving portion and the movable portion. A hole is formed
by inner walls of the driving portion, the movable portion,
and the fixing portion. The driving portion comprises a
pair of mutually opposing thin plate portions (6,7). The
element (2) has an operating portion comprising electrodes
(2a,2b) and a piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer (2a)
arranged on part of one thin plate portion. One end of the
operating portion is on the fixing portion or the movable
portion, and the other end is on the thin plate portion.
One end of piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer (2a) is on
the fixing portion or the movable portion, and the other
end is arranged on the thin plate portion. The Young's
modulus Y1 of the material of the thin plate portions and
the Young's modulus Y2 of the material of the
piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer (2a) satisfy :-
 1 < Y1/Y2 ≤ 20. 
As the device has high stiffness in the width direction of
the thin plate portion, namely in the Y-axis direction,
when a functional part such as a sensor, a magnetic head,
or the like are fixed to the device, and when the device
 per se  is mounted on other structure, they can be securely
joined.
