Title: Relay lens used in an illumination system of a lithography system
Inventor: RYZHIKOV LEV
IPC: G02B13/18
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: A relay lens is provided in an illumination system for use in
microlithography. The relay lens can be used to uniformly illuminate a field at
a reticle by telecentric light beams with variable aperture size. The relay lens
can include first, second, and third lens groups. At least one of the second and
third lens groups can include a single lens. This can reduce costs and increase
transmission by requiring less CaF 2  because fewer optical elements are used
compared to prior systems.

Abstract: The method involves detecting and evaluating at least one physical parameter indicative of the current length of the actuator(s) (P1 to P4). A check is made to determine if the parameter exceeds or falls below a threshold, and the actuator is driven at rest based on this test using a voltage to change the length of the actuator so that the parameter does not fall below or above the threshold. The voltage is switched off as soon as the length of the actuator has reached a predetermined length, or after a predetermined length of time.  Independent claims are included for  (1) an apparatus for driving a piezoelectric actuator; (2) an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs associés à la mise en réseau sans fil. Un dispositif sans fil comprend plusieurs antennes directionnelles et plusieurs modules radio d'amenée fournissant des liaisons sans fil point à point avec d'autres dispositifs sans fil. Chaque module radio peut utiliser l'une quelconque des antennes directionnelles disponibles en vue d'une liaison avec un autre dispositif de routage. Les antennes sont sélectionnées automatiquement pour chaque dispositif sans fil simplement par réglage d'un dispositif dans un mode 'recherche' et par réglage d'un autre dispositif dans un mode 'écoute'. Les dispositifs en mode recherche effectuent des cycles via les antennes disponibles par transmission séquentielle de messages de transmission à des dispositifs en mode écoute en utilisant chacune des antennes disponibles tour à tour. Les dispositifs en mode écoute effectuent également des cycles via leurs antennes disponibles par 'écoute' séquentielle pour les messages de transmission. Un dispositif en mode écoute reçoit les messages de transmission sur chacune de ses antennes disponibles, et, après avoir rassemblé les données pertinentes, détermine laquelle de ces antennes convient le mieux à une communication avec le dispositif en mode recherche. L'antenne du dispositif en mode écoute la plus appropriée est ensuite utilisée pour transmettre un message de réponse au dispositif en mode recherche. Cette antenne du dispositif en mode écoute est conçue pour communiquer avec le dispositif en mode recherche. De manière similaire, lorsque le dispositif en mode recherche reçoit le message de réponse, il désigne son antenne ayant transmis le message de transmission comme étant destinée à des communications avec le dispositif en mode écoute.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an efficient method and apparatus for channel determination and interference vector construction in accordance with spread spectrum systems. Channel determination is performed using a first series of fast Walsh transform steps. The results of the first set of fast Walsh transform steps corresponding to valid communication system channels are compared to a threshold value. Results derived from the first set of fast Walsh transform steps are then passed through a second set of fast Walsh transform steps with the number of steps performed for a set of results determined by the symbol length associated with the channels from which the amplitude information was derived. The interference vectors thus obtained for each valid symbol length may then be combined to form a composite interference vector. The fast Walsh transform steps and other steps may be performed using shared hardware components or software modules.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for causing the selective targeting and killing of tumor cells. Through ex vivo gene therapy protocols tumor cells are engineered to express an α(1,3)galactosyl epitope. The cells are then irradiated or otherwise killed and administered to a patient. The α galactosyl epitope causes opsonization of the tumor cell enhancing uptake of the opsonized tumor cell by antigen presenting cells which results in enhanced tumor specific antigen presentation. The animal's immune system thus is stimulated to produce tumor specific cytotoxic cells and antibodies which will attack and kill tumor cells present in the animal.

Les informations de localisation peuvent être rapportées aux autres unités de communication pour être utilisées dans une auto-synchronisation.

movement velocity is detected is altered according to the
detected movement velocity, and the generated pattern is
shown on a display (30).
