Patent EP-1332649-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HERTZ HANS MARTIN
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: A method and an apparatus is designed to produce X-ray or EUV radiation for use in lithography, microscopy, materials science, or medical diagnostics. The radiation is produced by urging a substance through an outlet (6) to generate a microscopic jet (2) in a direction from the outlet (6), and by directing at least one energy beam (1') onto the jet (2), wherein the energy beam (1') interacts with the jet (2) to produce the X-ray or EUV radiation. The temperature of the outlet (6) is controlled to increase the directional stability of the jet (2). The thus-achieved directional stability of the jet (2) provides for reduced pulse-to-pulse fluctuations of the produced radiation, improved spatial stability of the radiation source, as well as high average power since the energy beam (1') can be tightly focused on the jet (2), even at a comparatively large distance from the jet-generating outlet (6). The large distance provides for low erosion of the outlet (6), even when using a high-power energy beam (1').

Abstract: The invention concerns the observation of security distance between aircraft flying, in line, one behind the other, in an imposed air corridor. More particularly, it concerns a method enabling an aircraft knowing its position and those of other aircraft flying in close proximity, for example with a ADS-B system, to manage by itself its separating distance relative to another aircraft used as reference. Such a method provides assistance to the aircraft crew and the flight control authority for regulating traffic in the corridor concerned.

Abstract: A paddle urging system for use in a stacking bin having a constant force
spring (210) to provide an urging force to a paddle for supporting a stack of mailpieces (110). As
mailpieces (110) are accumulated into the stack (100), they push the stack against the paddle. 
A brake/clutch system (230) is used to provide an additional drag to the paddle to resist
against this movement of the paddle. The brake/clutch (230) system is adjustable so that
heavy mailpieces (110) are supported more effectively, whereas lightweight mailpieces (110)
encounter less resistant force when they are accumulated into the stack (100).

Abstract: A fire extinguishing access port includes a port and nozzle
assembly where the nozzle has a plurality of radial outlets defining a
pattern of dispersal for a fire extinguishing agent. According to a
presently preferred embodiment, the port and nozzle assembly is
dimensioned to be mounted in an existing mounting hole (e.g. a switch
mounting hole) of an aircraft electrical panel with the nozzle
residing in the rear of the panel and the port residing on the front
of the panel. According to the invention, a plurality of different
nozzles are provided for different electrical panels, each nozzle
having a different pattern of dispersal. A fire extinguisher access
port kit according to the invention includes a plurality of threaded
nozzles, each with different dispersal patterns, a plurality of
threaded ports which mate with the nozzles, and a plurality of
different length threaded tubes which mate with the nozzles and the
ports. According to the presently preferred embodiment, the nozzles
are provided with a plurality if radial slots which deflect the flow
of fire extinguishing agent substantially perpendicular to the
direction of entry through the port. This provides excallent
dispersal of fire extinguishing agent throughout the electrical
compartment and also provides two unexpected advantages, prevents
foreign objects from passing through the port and potentially causing
a short circuit, and eliminates the possibility of blowback.
