Patent EP-1241596-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ANGEL MARK A
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for
implementing at least partially automated customer relationship management
(CRM) distributed across various enterprises or entities. Such entities may include
an anchor or affinity enterprise vending a "whole product" to consumers, and
various secondary or tenant enterprises vending components of the whole product.
Such entities may also include a reseller or other value-adder as the affinity
enterprise, and the product manufacturer as the secondary enterprise. By providing
a distributed CRM content provider, documentation or other content can be
substantially independently created, managed, and/or updated by the particular
entity most capable of doing so. Autocontextualization of documents and/or user-provider
dialog to concepts allows efficient and inexpensive content management.
In addition to dialog-driven concept-organized content providers, other content
providers include, among other things, web site documents or services, text search
engines, discussion threads, and/or escalation to (or de-escalation from) an interface
for interacting with a human customer service representative over a computer
network or at the enterprise's CRM call center.

IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: An optical exposure method carried out on a substrate that is at least partially covered by a
layer of radiation-sensitive material, the method comprising the steps of:
   providing a plurality of projection beams of radiation;   a first irradiating step of irradiating a peripheral annulus of the layer of
radiation-sensitive material with a first one of said projection beams; and   a second irradiating step of irradiating at least one inner portion of the
radiation-sensitive material situated nearer the center of the substrate than the inner
periphery of the outer region with a second one of said projection beams;  
   wherein said first and second irradiating steps are carried out with the substrate
positioned at the same location. 
     The method can be used for edge bead removal (both coarse and fine detail) and marker
clearout at a single station. Stencils can be used to modify the shape and size of the
irradiating steps. 
     Such a method can be incorporated as a part of a device manufacturing method but can be
used as an single method. 
     A lithographic projection apparatus can be adapted to apply this method, and the main
projection apparatus beneficially shares metrology data with the optical exposure
apparatus.

Abstract: A navigation system includes a navigation-related information server and one or more customer-interface servers. Each customer-interface server receives requests for navigation-related information from end users who have end user computing platforms. The end users send their requests for navigation-related information from end user computing platforms over a data network to the customer-interface servers. In order to respond to the end users, the customer-interface servers request language and format-independent navigation-related information from the navigation-related information server. The navigation-related information server receives the requests from the customer-interface servers. To response to each request for navigation-related information, the navigation-related information server uses one or more geographic databases to formulate language- and format-independent data structures. These language- and format-independent data structures are sent to the customer-interface servers. The customer-interface servers receive the language- and format-independent responses from the navigation-related information server, and formulate language- and format-specific responses that are sent to the end users. In one embodiment, the language and format-independent responses provided by the navigation-related information server are in XML format. The customer-interface servers use XML style sheets to formulate language and format-specific instructions that are sent to the end users. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a spark plug 100, the outer diameter of a tool engaging portion 1e formed on a main metal member 1 is not larger than 14 mm. An insulator 2 is provided with a expanded diameter portion (2e) positioned within the main metal member 1 and projecting radially outward from an outer circumferential surface of the insulator, and an intermediate trunk portion (2g) adjacent to an axial front side of the expanded diameter portion (2e) and having a cylindrical outer circumferential surface. The inclined portion (2j) has a linearly inclined outer circumferential surface formed in a position so as to connect the expanded diameter portion (2e) and intermediate trunk portion (2g), and formed so that in orthogonal projections with respect to a plane of projection parallel to an axis O, the diameters become smaller from the side of the expanded diameter portion (2e) toward that of the intermediate trunk portion (2g). In the position in which an extension of the outer circumferential surface of the inclined portion (2j) and that of the outer circumferential surface of the intermediate trunk portion (2g) cross each other, a built-up portion (2k) is formed so that a valley-like space defined by these two extensions is filled.

Abstract: Techniques for minimizing coprocessor "starvation," and for effectively scheduling processing in a coprocessor for greater efficiency and power. A run list is provided allowing a coprocessor to switch from one task to the next, without waiting for CPU intervention. A method called "surface faulting" allows a coprocessor to fault at the beginning of a large task rather than somewhere in the middle of the task. DMA control instructions, namely a "fence," a "trap" and a "enable/disable context switching," can be inserted into a processing stream to cause a coprocessor to perform tasks that enhance coprocessor efficiency and power. These instructions can also be used to build high-level synchronization objects. Finally, a "flip" technique is described that can switch a base reference for a display from one location to another, thereby changing the entire display surface.
