Abstract: Method and apparatus for synthesizing high-performance linear finite state machines (LFSMs) such as linear feed-back shift registers (LFSRs) or cellular automata (CA). Given a characteristic polynomial for the circuit, the method obtains an original LFSR circuit (26) such as a type I or type II LFSR. Feedback connections within the original circuit are then determined (28). Subsequently, a number of transformations that shift the feedback connections can be applied in such a way that properties of the original circuit are preserved in a modified LFSR circuit (30). In particular, if the original circuit is represented by a primitive characteristic polynomial, the method preserved the maximum-length property of the original circuit in the modified circuit and enables the modified circuit to produce the same m-sequence as the original circuit. Through the various transformations, a modified LFSR circuit can be created that provides higher performance through shorter feedback connection lines, fewer levels of logic, and lower internal fan-out.

Abstract: Multi-beam lithography apparatus is used for writing patterns on a substrate (14) such as a wafer for ICs. The patterns may have details of various dimensions. In order to enhance the production rate, it is attractive to write fine details with a small spot 16 and large details with a large spot. It is known to vary the spot size by varying the emissive surface of the electron source. In accordance with the invention the spot size is varied by varying the size (22) of the beam limiting aperture (20), thus enabling optimization of the beam current in dependence on the spot size. A preferred embodiment is provided with an additional (condenser) lens (24) such that the object distance remains constant when the magnification of the lens system (18, 24) is varied.

It is further shown that this combination of vector and promoter can be used to introduce and express a human gene and correct a genetic defect in human cells resulting from malfunction of the mutant endogenous gene. Further, the vector can be used to correct the genetic defect by expressing a modified version of the human gene consisting of a fusion of part of the said gene and a synthetic sequence contained in the vector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In lining work in which a lining pipe R formed by spirally winding a strip-like member 500 consisting of an elongated sheet-form body is left in place inside a tubular culvert P, and a new lining pipe is additionally formed in front of this lining pipe that has been left in place, a lining apparatus S which has a flexible forming frame 1 consisting of link bodies is used. The strip-like member 500 is wound around the forming frame 1 by means of a joining mechanism part 7 attached to the forming frame 1, and a lining pipe R is formed while being forcibly folded inward utilizing the flexibility of the forming frame 1; at the same time, a back-filling material is injected into the inward-folded part. The inward-folded part later returns to its original state. Alternatively, the diameter of a small-diameter lining pipe R formed by winding around the forming frame 201-or 401 is expanded, and lining is performed with the back-filling material injected during this diameter expansion process. As a result of this lining work, a lining pipe R that fills the cross section of the tubular culvert P is formed; at the same time, back-filling work is performed on this long lining pipe. <IMAGE>
