Abstract: A system and method for interfacing between a plurality of electronic devices provides for communicating information between the devices. Information regarding scheduled events in one device can be obtained and processed by other devices. The user interface of any device can be used for controlling any other device, including scheduling events in any other device. For example, on-screen display capability of any device can be used for displaying information regarding any other device or devices. Password information entered or resident in one device may be used to enable an operation in another device without compromising the security of the password. Also, any device can maintain a log of exception conditions for one or more devices and provide the log to a user. A device can modify control information to attempt to achieve an object of the control information despite the existence of an exception condition. For example, if one device is a digital VHS VCR and control information requests recording of a digital signal but an analog tape is loaded in the VCR, the system can record an analog signal instead, thereby achieving the goal of recording a particular program. A system comprising consumer electronics devices can include a switching arrangement comprising switches in various ones of the devices that is automatically configured to route an RF signal to the appropriate destination device.

Abstract: Two detectors are effectively positioned at a predetermined
lateral position in a rectangular illumination field at a wafer
plane. The ratio of the signals from the two detectors is
calculated. This ratio is indicative of the quality of the
illumination field and any lamp instability which may effect the
illumination field, and therefore image quality. In a
photolithographic device, a short arc mercury xenon lamp provides
illumination for projecting the image of a reticle onto a
photosensitive resist covered substrate or wafer. The desired
illumination intensity profile is sensitive to lamp instability.
This instability may alter the desired illumination intensity
profile which may adversely effect image quality, and therefore
the resulting product. The ratio of the signals received from
predetermined locations laterally along the illumination
intensity profile improves the detection of unstable lamps.
The detectors are positioned at locations of relatively steep
slope in the illumination intensity profile thereby increases
sensitivity.

Abstract: A power amplifier including an FET and a gate bias
circuit having a variable resistor (VR) and a method of
trimming the VR in the power amplifier are disclosed. The
VR is trimmed to make the bias voltage to a pinch-off
voltage of the FET. A first current in the pinch-off
voltage condition from a bias supply voltage is measured.
The VR is adjusted with a second current from the bias
supply voltage measured. A difference between the first
and second drain current values is calculated and a
resistance of the VR is determined to make the difference
within a reference. A second VR may be connected to the VR
in parallel to make trimming the bias voltage easier or
more accurately. The second VR may comprise a printed
circuit pattern which shows 0 Ω for the pinch-off condition
and the printed circuit pattern also provides the infinite
resistance when it is cut to adjust the VR. Another power
amplifier including a memory and a D/A converter for
generating the gate bias voltage is also disclosed. The
memory stores data making the FET in the pinch-off
condition to measure the first current, a set of data
varying the second current to adjust the VR and can store
the data making the difference within the predetermined
value. In the case of multi-stage, trimming is performed
from one of stages of which reference is smallest.
