Abstract: A method for releasing from underlying substrate material micromachined structures or
devices without application of chemically aggressive substances or excessive forces. The
method starts with the step of providing a partially formed device, comprising a substrate
layer, a sacrificial layer deposited on the substrate, and a function layer deposited on the
sacrificial layer and possibly exposed portions of the substrate layer and then etched to
define micromechanical structures or devices therein. The etching process exposes the
sacrificial layer underlying the removed function layer material. Next there are the steps of
cleaning residues from the surface of the device, and then directing high-temperature
hydrogen gas over the exposed surfaces of the sacrificial layer to convert the silicon dioxide
to a gas, which is carried away from the device by the hydrogen gas. The release process is
complete when all of the silicon dioxide sacrificial layer material underlying the
micromachined structures or devices is removed.

Abstract: An ultra-high pressure high pressure discharge lamp device in which the lamp voltage and the distance between the lamp electrodes can be kept stable is achieved by an operating device supplying an alternating current with rectangular waves to the discharge lamp and control is exercised such that a lower boundary value is set and the operating voltage is increased by reducing the operating frequency of the discharge lamp by a given amount, when the operating voltage of the discharge lamp is below the set lower boundary value. Furthermore, control can also be exercised in such a way that an upper boundary value is set and the operating voltage is reduced by increasing the operating frequency of the discharge lamp by a given amount when the operating voltage of the discharge lamp exceeds the set upper boundary value.

Abstract: An encoder is arranged to add a binary code bit to block of a signal by selecting, within the block, (i) a reference frequency within the predetermined signal bandwidth, (ii) a first code frequency having a first predetermined offset from the reference frequency, and (iii) a second code frequency having a second predetermined offset from the reference frequency. The spectral amplitude of the signal at the first code frequency is increased so as to render the spectral amplitude at the first code frequency a maximum in its neighborhood of frequencies and is decreased at the second code frequency so as to render the spectral amplitude at the second code frequency a minimum in its neighborhood of frequencies. Alternatively, the portion of the signal at one of the first and second code frequencies whose spectral amplitude is smaller may be designated as a modifiable signal component such that, in order to indicate the binary bit, the phase of the modifiable signal component is changed so that this phase differs within a predetermined amount from the phase of the reference signal component. As a still further alternative, the spectral amplitude of the first code frequency may be swapped with a spectral amplitude of a frequency having a maximum amplitude in the first neighborhood of frequencies and the spectral amplitude of the second code frequency may be swapped with a spectral amplitude of a frequency having a minimum amplitude in the second neighborhood of frequencies. A decoder may be arranged to decode the binary bit.
