Abstract: A positioning device (3, 121, 141) with a base (67) and a displaceable unit (5) which is displaceable relative to the base parallel to an X-direction and parallel to a Y-direction by means of an X-actuator (45, 47, 123, 125) and a Y-actuator (49, 127). The X-actuator and the Y-actuator each has a first part (51, 53, 129, 131; 59, 137) which is coupled to the displaceable unit, seen parallel to the X-direction and Y-direction, respectively, and a second part (55, 57, 133, 135; 61, 139) which is coupled to a common balancing unit (43), seen parallel to the X-direction and the Y-direction, respectively, which balancing unit is displaceably guided parallel to the X-direction and to the Y-direction along a guide (69) which extends parallel to the X-direction and the Y-direction and which is fastened to the base. During operation the first parts of the X-actuator and the Y-actuator exert on the second parts reaction forces which are directed parallel to the X-direction and to the Y-direction, respectively, whereby the common balancing unit is displaced parallel to the X-direction and the Y-direction, respectively. It is prevented thereby that the reaction forces are transmitted into the base, so that mechanical vibrations of the base are reduced. In a special embodiment, the balancing unit comprises a support body (43) which comprises a surface (41) which extends parallel to the X-direction and the Y-direction and along which the displaceable unit is guided. The positioning device (3, 121, 141) can be used for the displacement and positioning of a substrate holder (5) in a lithographic device for the manufacture of semiconductor substrates.

Abstract: Even though a laser interferometer (4) is affected by the
changes in the environment, a reticle (1) can be inspected
with a high accuracy by synthesizing a reference
image corrected appropriately to compare with an optical
image. The reticle (1) which a pattern is plotted in advance
is irradiated with a light beam (m) to obtain the
optical image from the transmitted light (p) to compare
the optical image with the reference image synthesized by
converting draft data used at plotting said pattern (u)
and the detect defects of the pattern (w). The reference
image is corrected based on the deviation data obtained
at the preceding pattern defect detection. The deviation
data is the difference between a difference (an initial
distance value) between a completion position data and an
initiation position data measured before a laser interferometer
(4) is affected by the changes in the environment
and a difference (a distance data) between the completion
position data and the initiation position data
measured after being affected by the changes in the environment,
and is obtained using a scale (12) is hardly affected
by the changes in the environment (t).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing dropped calls. If, during an established
call between two communication devices, a telecommunication network node determines
that a communication link to one of the devices has been dropped, the node determines
the cause of the dropped communication link and sends a status message to the non-dropped
communication device. If a reconnection attempt is appropriate, the node
attempts to reconnect to the dropped device. If a reconnection attempt is not appropriate,
or if the reconnection attempt is unsuccessful, the non-dropped communication device is
connected to a voice mail node. If the reconnection attempt is successful, the call
between the two communication devices is re-established.

Abstract: There is disclosed a scanning probe microscope capable of
producing a topographic image at a high resolution with a cantilever
of a large spring constant and, at the same time, a surface potential
image at a high resolution. This microscope can take the form of
an atomic force microscope that detects the surface potential of
a sample, using a gradient of the force acting between the probe
tip and a sample. The gradient is represented by the output from
a frequency-to-voltage converter. The frequency of an AC voltage
applied across the probe tip and the sample is so set that a z-signal
fed back to the cantilever to maintain constant the shift in the
resonance frequency of the cantilever can sufficiently follow the
AC voltage.

Abstract: The conceptual approach consists in acquiring an MR image
or spectrum for any pH-sensitive MR property of molecules
non-permeable to the membrane. The chemical shift of a
nucleus localized in, or in close proximity to, an
ionizable group of a non-permeable molecule, is normally
used as a "pH informative resonance" in the extracellular
space. Several MR methods (CSIC - Chemical shift selective
imaging, or SI - spectroscopic image) can be used to
determine the spatial distribution of the "informative
resonance", and thereby the extracellular pH distribution
within the sample. This information is most useful in
clinical conditions such as muscular dystrophy, isquemia,
tumoral transformation and metastasis, among others.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-domain liquid-crystal display device comprising two substantially substrates which are provided with an electrode layer and an orientation layer. A layer of a nematically ordered liquid-crystalline material comprising a chiral dopant is sandwiched between the substrates. The layer is structured in such a manner that the pixels of the layer are composed of at least two types of sub-pixels in which the twist senses of the liquid-crystalline material are mutually opposite. This construction in accordance with the invention is achieved by differentiating the composition of the chiral dopant in the different types of sub-pixels. This is attained by employing isomerizable chiral dopants and/or diffusion techniques in combination with local exposure of the liquid-crystal layer. The invention also provides methods of manufacturing such multi-domain liquid-crystal display devices. The multi-domain liquid-crystal display devices in accordance with the invention are easier to manufacture than display devices in which the orientation layers must be structured.
