Abstract: A fluid line assembly (20) includes an outer fluid line (24) and an inner fluid line (22). The inner and outer fluid lines (22, 24) each include a slip joint (70, 80). At least one of the slip joints (70, 80) include a variable volume reservoir (86) in communication with the interior of the corresponding fluid line (22, 24). The reservoir (86) is at least partially defined by a first tube section (82), a second tube section (84) having an axially extending portion and radially extending portion, and a radially extending piston (90) connected to the first tube section (82) for movement therewith. The at least one slip joint (70, 80) also includes a resiliently compressible conductive member (98) positioned between and in contact with the piston (90) and the radially extending portion of the second tube section (84) to create an electrical path therebetween. The resiliently compressible conductive member (98) is divided into sections (98a-x), wherein each section (98a-x) is separated from an adjacent section (98a-x) by a spacer member (100) adapted to inhibit contact between the axially extending portion of the second tube section (84) and the resiliently compressible conductive member (98).

Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is provided with a barrier member which defines a space for containing liquid between the projection system and the substrate. In order to minimize the crossing of the edge of the substrate which is being imaged (which can lead to inclusion of bubbles in the immersion liquid), the cross-sectional area of the space in a plane parallel to the substrate is made as small as possible. The smallest theoretical size is the size of the target portion which is imaged by the projection system. In some embodiments the shape of the final element of the projection system is also changed to have a similar size and/or shape in a cross-section parallel to the substrate to that of the target portion.

Abstract: A water conductivity monitoring circuit determines the status of an ion exchange filter in the water flow to a steam generator. A microprocessor sends a reference signal to a conductivity sensor circuit that converts it to an excite signal that is sent to a probe in the water flow. Any conductivity of the water alters the excite signal, and the modified signal is compared to the reference signal to establish a value indicative of the conductivity of the water. The microprocessor compares the value to at least two thresholds representative of the status of the filter.

Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: The method can be used to examine a non-homogenous diffusing object by illumination of the object with a continuous light using a light source. It firstly consists of reconstruction of spatial mapping in three dimensions, an attenuation variable (k1) representing diffusion and absorption non-homogeneities of the object, by resolution of a diffusion equation V<SUP>2</SUP>F( r<SUB>s</SUB>, r) - k<SUP>t2</SUP>( r)F( r<SUB>s</SUB>, r) = A<SUB>s</SUB>d( r- r<SUB>s</SUB>). In the diffusion equation, A8 is a constant, F is the spatial coordinate of an arbitrary point in the mesh of a volume at least partially surrounding the object and rs is the spatial coordinate of the light source. Transfer functions (F) of an equation used for reconstruction of the distribution of fluorophores integrate the attenuation variable (K1) thus reconstructed.

Abstract: A method is provided for simplifying maintenance of synchronicity between an active control system and a standby control system. As interdependent software modules on the active control system update stored state information in response to triggering events and actions, the transaction messages for dependent software modules are bundled together and sent to the standby control system as a single message. This avoids the problems that can arise when a switchover occurs when only some of the transactions messages from interdependent software modules have been transmitted before failure of the active control system.
