Abstract: The present invention generally provides methods for employing a focused particle beam system in the removal of an excess portion from a workpiece having an opaque film patterned on a substrate and more particularly provides methods of gas-assisted etching using an etching gas including bromine and water vapor. One aspect of the invention provides a method including the steps of (i) mounting the workpiece on a movable stage capable of movement in the X and Y directions, (ii) scanning a selected surface area of a workpiece, having an opaque film patterned on a substrate, with a focused particle beam, (iii) detecting intensities of particles emitted from the workpiece as a result of the workpiece scanning step, (iv) determining a shape of the patterned film based on the detected particle intensities, (v) determining an excess portion of the patterned film based on the shape of the patterned film, (vi) etching the excess portion with the focused particle beam, and (vii) introducing an etching gas, concurrent with the etching step, in selected proximity to the excess portion. The etching gas includes bromine or a bromine-containing material and water vapor.

IPC: G11B7/085

Abstract: A conventional optical disk apparatus detects the amount of shift of an objective lens with a tracking error signal and an RF signal, and controls, when an optical pickup is moved, the shift amount for performing high-speed seek and high-speed access. The problem here is that this apparatus cannot be applied to an optical disk having an area where no RF signal is recorded, and requires higher costs. In view of this, an optical disk apparatus of the present invention has a shift signal detecting portion that detects a shift signal based on a push-pull signal generated during generation of a tracking error signal based on the reflected light resulting from a beam reflected from an optical disk, and a shift amount control portion that drives, when an optical pickup is moved, an objective lens actuator based on the shift signal detected by the shift signal detecting portion.

Abstract: A hollow fan blade (30) for turbo fan gas turbine engines is formed of two separate detail halves (30a,30b). Each detail half has a plurality of cavities (40) and ribs (42) machined out to reduce weight. These detail halves (30a,30b) are subsequently bonded and given an airfoil shape in the forming operation. The present invention provides a hollow fan blade with internal cavity and rib geometry with improved durability that permits the bonding and forming to be performed without the need for gas pressurization. The ability to form the hollow fan blade of the present invention without gas pressurization is a result of the cavity (40) and rib (42) geometry and the orientation of the ribs. The ribs (42) are tapered and transition into a compound radius of the floor (48) that simulates the classical arch design element. The orientation of the ribs (42) is generally in a parallel plane with the load vector that results from forming loads during the pre-form and final form operations. This orientation provides compressive stress transfer into the ribs and away from the concave and convex skins. The rib spacing is controlled where ribs (42) can not be held in a parallel plane with the load vector.
