Patent EP-1426825-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SEWELL HARRY
IPC: G02B27/28
Filed: 2003-11-27
Abstract: The present invention is a catadioptric system (200) having a reticle
optical group (210), a beam splitter (220), an aspheric mirror (231), a
baffle plate (250), a folding mirror (225) and a semiconductor wafer
optical group (240). The reticle optical group, the beam splitter and
the semiconductor wafer optical group are placed on the same beam axis,
different from aspheric mirror and folding mirror axis. The light passes
through an image pattern on the reticle (201) and is reflected by the
beam splitter onto the aspheric mirror. The aspheric mirror reflects the
light back through the beam splitter onto the folding mirror. The
folding mirror reflects the light back to the beam splitter. The beam
splitter reflects the light onto the semiconductor wafer optical group.
A plurality of quarter wave plates (202a,202b,202d) can be placed in
optical paths between optical elements of the present invention to
change polarization of an incoming light. Before light passes through
the semiconductor wafer optical group, it passes through the baffle
plate (250), which prevents any background scattered light caused by
internal reflections within the beam splitter from entering the
semiconductor wafer optical group. In another embodiment, a spacer plate
(223) is inserted into the beam splitter. The spacer plate creates an
offset between reticle optical group beam axis and semiconductor wafer
optical group beam axis. This reduces direct passage of light from
reticle optical group to semiconductor wafer optical group.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil de test de chiffres aléatoires générés par un générateur de chiffres aléatoires en temps réel. Pendant que les chiffres aléatoires sont générés, des blocs de bits k qui se chevauchent sont soumis à une opération de comptage exponentiel un par un, cette opération de comptage étant effectuée par retrait du bit le plus significatif du précédent bloc de bits k et par ajout d'un nouveau bit aléatoire à sa droite afin de former un nouveau bloc de bits k, ce qui permet de conserver la taille du bloc. La valeur binaire du bloc de bits k sert à effectuer la sélection d'accumulateur au cours du chevauchement de l'opération de comptage. Toutes les sorties de la moyenne exponentielle sont comparées avec une gamme d'acceptation prédéterminée afin de déterminer si les bits générés par le générateur de chiffres aléatoires sont suffisamment aléatoires.

It also prevents the occurrence of reduction in engine performance due to malfunctions of the variable-nozzle mechanism and the occurrence of breakage of the variable-nozzle mechanism as has been experienced in prior art. In another embodiment, the variable-nozzle mechanism assembly is constructed as a cartridge which can be easily incorporated in or removed from the turbocharger.
