Inventor: SUZUKI SHINJI
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: A proximity exposure device with a distance adjustment device in which sufficient
determination sensitivity can be obtained even in areas with a low reflectance factor, such
as on a glass surface, is achieved by a distance measurement part having a light source for
measurement purposes, a pinhole plate, an objective lens, a light detection device and the
like, light emerging form the light source for measurement purposes being emitted via the
pinhole plate and objective lens onto the mask surface/workpiece surface, and light
reflected thereby is detected via the objective lens and pinhole plate by the light detection
device. If the mask surface/workpiece surface is located at the focal point of the objective
lens on the object side, reflected light with high intensity is incident in the light detection
device. To measure the distance between the mask and workpiece, the distance
measurement part is moved in the Z-direction and two peaks of intensity of the reflected
light of mask M and workpiece W are determined. Based on the position of the distance
measurement part at this time, the distance between the mask and workpiece is
determined. After measuring the distance between the mask and workpiece, the distance
between the mask and workpiece is set to the desired value and exposure is performed.

Abstract: A halftone phase shift photomask designed so that it is
possible to shorten the photoengraving process, use a
production line for a conventional photomask, prevent
lowering of the contract between the transparent and
semitransparent regions at a long wavelength in the visible
region, which is used for inspection and measurement, and
also prevent charge-up during electron beam exposure, and
that ordinary physical cleaning process can be used for the
halftone phase shift photomask. The halftone phase shift
photomask has on a transparent substrate a region which
is semitransparent to exposure light and a region which is
transparent to the exposure light so that the phase
difference between light passing through the transparent
region and light passing through the semitransparent region
is substantially π radians. A semitransparent film that
constitutes the semitransparent region is arranged in the
form of a multilayer film including layers of
chromium or a chromium compound. For example, the layer
is formed of chromium oxide, chromium oxide nitride,
chromium oxide carbide, or chromium oxide nitride carbide,
and the layer is formed of chromium or chromium nitride.
The layer mainly serves as a phase shift layer, while
the layer mainly serves as a transmittance control layer
that suppresses the rise of transmittance at the long
wavelength side. The semitransparent film is formed by
physical vapor deposition.

Abstract: Method for making a distortion-compensating phase-adjustment
element for a laser. One type of distortion
to be compensated for is heat distortion. Also described
is a method for making a custom phase-conjugating
diffractive mirror for a laser resonator comprising the
steps of: (a) choosing a specified beam mode profile
a 1 (x,y); (b) calculating the mode profile b(x',y') which
is a value of the specified beam a 1 (x,y) that is
propagated to the reflection surface of the diffractive
mirror and (c) calculating mirror reflectance t(x',y')
which reflects phase conjugate of b(x',y') and corrects
for distortions such as heat. A method for fabricating
such a mirror is shown. Another aspect of the invention
is the addition of a phase adjusting element into a laser
resonator, and compensating for the addition of a phase
adjusting element in the design of other phase-adjusting
elements such as the mirrors and correcting for
distortions such as heat.

Title: Method and system for determining and/or using illumination maps in rendering images
Inventor: LAFERRIERE ALAIN M
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: The system and method are for determining, and subsequently using in a
rendering engine, an illumination map. The illumination map is employed by the
rendering engine to avoid having to calculate the contributions of lights in the scene
during rendering, thus reducing the rendering time. In one embodiment, the system and
method is used to determine the illumination values from the contribution of one or more
lights to one or more texture mapped objects. This illumination map can either be stored
independently of the texture picture to be mapped or can be combined with the texture
picture to obtain an illuminated texture picture for subsequent rendering independent of
the light sources. In another embodiment, the present invention is used to determine the
illumination values for one or more objects represented by a polygon mesh. This
illumination map can be stored independent of the material and color of the object or can
be combined with the color and material information and stored in the object definition.
In either of these cases, this illumination map represents the illumination values at the
vertices of the polygons, the rendering engine and/or hardware linearly interpolating the
remainder of the rendering information for each polygon. The illumination values can be
determined either by summing the contribution of the lights in a scene at points of interest
or by evaluating the entire shade tree defined for the scene at those points of interest. In
this latter case, the contributions of reflections, refractions, transparencies and any
procedural functions defined for the scene are considered in determining the illumination
values. Evaluation of the entire shade tree also allows other options, such as the ability
to generate 2D textures from procedural 3D textures or to generate a texture that contains
the result of a blending between multiple textures.

Abstract: A pipeline branch arrangement (30) forms a piggable-Y intersection (18) at the intersection with a trunkline (16) and is oriented vertically relative to the trunkline (16). The approach piping to all legs of the piggable-Y (18) are configured to incorporate 3D bends (36) or larger radii as required. This arrangement permits the passage of foam pigs, hard pigs, and smart pigs. Orientation of the piggable-Y (18) in the vertical plane configures all of the branch piping in the vertical plane, which permits the support sled (40) width for pipe laying to be kept to a minimum. The arrangement of the 3D bends fore and aft of the piggable-Y (18) aligns the trunkline ends in a colinear manner. This permits the configuration to be installed by conventional S-Lay techniques.

Abstract: The present invention was accomplished noting that
a range of information desired to select differed
according to a mode selected. For example, even in the
case where a plurality of information pieces were
grouped, an erasing operation was often effected only
in part thereof. In that case, complicated processes
were required, steps to delete the desired partial data
after once ungrouping the information group for every
erasure operation and to regroup the information pieces
thereafter. The present invention enhances operability
by an automatic changeover to designate either a single
piece of information or the whole group as a range of
information to be selected as a processed object
according to a mode selected.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multiple electrode, closed-loop, responsive system for the treatment of certain
neurological diseases such as epilepsy, migraine headaches and Parkinson's disease. Brain
electrodes would be placed in close proximity to the brain or deep within brain tissue. When a
neurological event such as the onset of an epileptic seizure occurs, EEG signals from the
electrodes are processed by signal conditioning means in a control module that can be placed
beneath the patient's scalp, within the patient's chest, or situated externally on the patient.
Neurological event detection means in the control module will then cause a response to be
generated for stopping the neurological event. The response could be an electrical signal to brain
electrodes or to electrodes located remotely in the patient's body. The response could also be the
release of medication or the application of a sensory input such as sound, light or mechanical
vibration or electrical stimulation of the skin. The response to the neurological event can
originate from devices either internal or external to the patient. The system also has the
capability for multi-channel recording of EEG related signals that occur both before and after the
detection of a neurological event. Programmability of many different operating parameters of
the system by means of external equipment provides adaptability for treating patients who
manifest different symptoms and who respond differently to the response generated by the
system.
