Abstract: In an aerosol valve which includes a flow path with a compartment having an inlet into the compartment and a valve seat at the upper end of the compartment, a pocket is disposed downward from the seat opening, the pocket contains a gravity-responsive ball. When the valve is being used during dispensing and is tipped in a direction which brings the ball closer to the flow through the compartment, the ball becomes entrained in the fluid flow and flies up to seat on the valve seat to block it off, precluding further discharge. When the aerosol valve is further depressed, the ball will be forced away from the seat to again open the discharge path. The purpose of the valve is to avoid the escape of propellant or product which might occur in tipping if the lower end of the dip tube is exposed to the head space.

Abstract: A reactive sound attenuator which includes a sensor for detecting a sound parameter in a space, e.g. a duct, consists of a signal amplifier that is used to amplify a detected signal, an electroacoustic transducer and a cavity with at least one membrane. The membrane, which is capable of moving in a vibratory manner, is part of a wall of a space, e.g. a duct wall. A sensor, which is disposed in the immediate vicinity of, in or on the membrane, detects the vibrations of the membrane. The sensor's signal, which is amplified and inverted by the amplifier, controls the membrane vibration via the electroacoustic transducer.

Abstract: A photosensitive wafer is exposed to light of a target illuminance regardless of the variation of time-varying transmittance of an optical system as follows. 20,000 pulses are idly shot before starting exposure of a first wafer (25). At the time of the first and 20,000th pulse laser oscillations, the transmittances of the optical system are calculated at the two moments by acquiring the output signals from an integrator sensor (10) and an illuminance sensor (28), and then a predictive line of time-varying transmittance is calculated from the two transmittances. When the exposure is started, the transmittance of the optical system is calculated at the elapsed time of exposure from the predictive line of time-varying transmittance, and the intensity of exposing light is controlled. The illuminance on the wafer can be compensated for depending on the actual variation of the transmittance. The accumulated quantity of exposing light incident to the wafer (25) is regulated to ensure a target exposure dose of the wafer (25) regardless of the variation in the transmittance of an illumination optical system or a projection optical system during exposure. <IMAGE>
