Abstract: Method and apparatus for aligning a first surface (11) of a first object (10) with a second surface (22) of a second object (20), facing said first surface, wherein light of a predetermined wavelength is introduced into one (10) of said objects and caused to propagate by internal reflection therein. The first and second surfaces carry correlating structures (13,25) which, when arranged at close distance from each other, couple light from said one object to the other of said objects by near-field tunnelling, to a degree dependent on the overlap of said structures. A light detector (26) is devised to detect a signal which is dependent on the amount of light coupled between said objects, for producing an alignment control signal. The invention is suitable for use in nanoimprint lithography.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-mechanical braking device
in which when a vehicle is suddenly stopped by turning off an
ignition key switch (5) on a way of a slope road, a braking
force maintaining control is not preformed, and it often
occurs that the vehicle moves down along the slope road. To
prevent such occurrence, an electro-mechanical braking device
(22) for maintaining the braking force is provided so that the
vehicle is parked securely. The electro-mechanical braking
device (22) includes a parking brake mechanism (21) for
maintaining the brake force even when an ignition key switch
(power supply switch) (5) of the vehicle is turned off. When
the power supply switch (ignition key switch) (5) of the
vehicle is turned off with a braking pedal (2) being stroked
or a braking operation signal being present, the parking-brake
mechanism (21) is activated (the brake force is maintained).

IPC: H04L25/12
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: One embodiment of a technique for performing impedance compensation update operations without causing potential data corruption problems includes taking advantage of protocol idle periods, where synchronization primitives, filler data, and alignment primitives are being transmitted. For example, a serial interconnect controller may take control of the interconnect by initiating a dummy transaction. The controller can then perform an impedance compensation update operation while it is assured that no data transfers are occurring. After an appropriate settling time and after a transmission of an alignment primitive, the controller can complete the dummy transaction by issuing a no-op. This process may be re-performed periodically.
