Abstract: When the ordinary exposure is performed, a wafer (W), to
which a photoresist is applied by a resist coater (54), is
transported onto a wafer stage (39) of a projection exposure
apparatus (50) to perform the exposure, followed by development
by a developing apparatus (59). When the characteristic is
evaluated, respective shot areas on the wafer applied with
the photoresist are exposed with an image of a
predetermined evaluating mark in a narrow area in an
effective field of a projection optical system of the
projection exposure apparatus. The characteristic of the
resist coater or the developing apparatus is evaluated by
detecting a state of a resist pattern after the
development. When the image formation characteristic of
the projection exposure apparatus is evaluated, the wafer
is exposed with images of a plurality of predetermined
evaluating marks in a wide area in the effective field.
The respective characteristics of the resist coater, the
exposure apparatus, and the developing apparatus for
constructing a lithography system can be evaluated
respectively independently.

Abstract: A bicycle 10 features an automatically shifting transmission 24. The shifting is
controlled by a controller. The controller has a number of ranges that comprise a
subset of the available gear steps. The operator of the bicycle can select an appropriate
range and the controller shifts gears within the range depending upon
a preset map of bicycle speeds and gear steps. The operator can select other ranges
as desired by upshifting or downshifting. The controller also has at least one
cruising mode that decreases the likelihood of inadvertent shifting during operation
of the bicycle 10 at speeds within a preset range of speeds. In addition, the
controller has an elapse mode that further reduces the number of available gear
steps in a range during resumed operation after slowing below a preset speed or
stopping.

Abstract: A process for producing a tube target for cathode sputtering plants, in which the tube target is formed from a metallic inner tube (target holder) made of a first material with a first melting point of Ts1>=900 K and a metallic outer tube (target) that concentrically surrounds the inner tube and that is made of a second material with a second melting point of Ts2<=800 K. The inside diameter of the outer tube and the outside diameter of the inner tube are proportioned in such a way that the two tubes fit together tightly and are mechanically firmly joined. The outer tube is formed by casting the second material in a molten state in a heated, vertical, cylindrical permanent mold, which has a heated mandrel that constitutes the inner tube. After a space between the mold and the inner tube has been filled with the molten second material, a first thermal gradient develops between the inner tube and the mold, a second thermal gradient develops between the bottom and the top of the mold, and the outer tube is simultaneously cooled from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top.

Abstract: A method increases the spatial resolution of a source image based on an
auxiliary, co-registered image of a higher spatial resolution. Each of the source
and auxiliary images includes a plurality of pixels with corresponding spectral
intensities and the method includes reducing, identifying, deriving, subdividing
and modifying steps. Multiple auxiliary images can be used with the method. 
     In the reducing step, a spatial resolution of the auxiliary image is reduced
to a common resolution with the source image. Then in the identifying step,
corresponding groups of pixels at the common resolution in the source and
auxiliary images are identified. Then in the deriving step, a mapping function is
derived which relates the rate of change of intensity of each group in the auxiliary
image and the corresponding rate of change of intensity in the corresponding
group in the source image to the intensity vector. This map can be conditioned on
any number of auxiliary image planes. 
     In the subdividing step, each source pixel is subdivided. Then in the
modifying step, the spectral intensity of each subdivided source pixel is
modifying based on the map and the local intensity variations of the auxiliary
image. This results in increasing the resolution of the source image.
