Abstract: The invention relates to a positioning device (3) comprising a first part (33) and a second part (35) having an object table (5). The second part can be displaced relative to the first part parallel to an X-direction and parallel to a Y-direction which is perpendicular to the X-direction and can be rotated relative to the first part about an axis of rotation (73) directed parallel to a Z-direction which is perpendicular to the X-direction and perpendicular to the Y-direction by means of three motors (75, 77, 79) which each comprises a permanent-magnet system (97, 99, 101) and an electrical-coil system (81, 83, 85) cooperating with the permanent-magnet system. The electrical-coil systems each comprises windings which are mainly directed parallel to a main axis (87, 89, 91) of the electrical-coil system which is directed perpendicularly to the Z-direction. According to the invention, the main axis of each of the three motors encloses an angle of substantially 120° with the main axis of each of the two other motors. In this manner, the points of application on the second part of the driving forces of the three motors are uniformly distributed relative to the second part, so that the driving forces can be uniformly transmitted to the object table by means of a relatively light and simple stiffening structure (119) of the second part. In a special embodiment of the positioning device, the main axes of the three motors are mutually arranged in a star-shaped configuration. In a further embodiment of the positioning device (3'), the main axes (87', 89', 91') of the three motors (75', 77', 79') are mutually arranged in a triangular configuration. The positioning device is used in a lithographic device according to the invention for displacing a substrate table (5) of the lithographic device relative to a focusing unit of the lithographic device.

Abstract: Das Verfahren zum Antrieb netzunabhängiger Fahrzeuge durch Hochtemperatur-Akkumulatoren und für den Betrieb stationärer Energiespeicher nutzt Stoffe mit hoher Verdampfungsenthalpie als Speichermedien für Hochtemperaturwärme, die durch Stromdurchleitung erzeugt und durch Superisolierung und hochtemperatur-feste Corbonwerkstoffe für eine ausreichend lange Zeit speicherbar wird. Bei Bedarf wird die gespeicherte Hochtemperaturwärme über einen thermionischen Generator oder über einen Stirlingmotor direkt in elektrische Antriebsenergie bzw. in Druckenergie zum Antrieb von Hydromotoren umgesetzt. Die mittlere Leistungsfähigkeit von Hochtemperatur-Akkumulatoren liegt bei 10 kWh/kg über der von Verbrennungsmaschinen und ist 100fach höher als die gegenwärtig leistungstärksten, elektrochemisch arbeitenden Akkumulatoren, so daß alle Treibstoff betriebenen Fahrzeuge künftig komfortabler, preisgünstiger und sauberer mit Hochtemperatur-Akkumulatoren betrieben werden können.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the construction and/or use of multidimensional fields that can be used for high-resolution detection and characterization of features within objects. The multidimensional field is constructed from data that is collected by an array of radiation detectors that substantially surround the object under study. The detected radiation is produced by an array of radiation sources and is subsequently scattered, reflected, transmitted, or diffracted by the object under study and any features within the object under study. In particular embodiments of the invention, the radiation that is used is ultrasonic radiation and the object under study is human or animal tissue or an organ. In this case, the invention permits the detection and identification of cancer by an intelligently trained evaluation system.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for the detection, by means of ultrasonic pulses, of the coordinates of objects with respect to a reference system. The method is based on the transmission of pulses (15) from two senders (2), provided on a testing device (1) at the measuring position, and are received by three sensors (4), arranged with mutual known geometry, and located fixed with respect to the object, for example a car to check. The delays of the pulses transmitted as they are received are measured for determining the position of the two senders (2) and then of a probe (3) to which they are integral. The apparatus allows to detect the distances between points, their symmetries, and, after a calibration step, to determine the position in the space of the measured points, according to a chosen reference system X, Y, Z. The appatus has a software which, by means of a database, allows to compare the measures of the object with the theoretical ones, in order to determine the deformation thereof. The amount of the deformation is indicated both in a numerical and graphical way.

Abstract: A beverage dispense apparatus having one or more outlets for fluids to be dispensed, a fluid supply line for each fluid, each outlet being governed by a valve, and a valve actuator to open and close each valve. A flow sensor is positioned in each fluid supply line and connected to a control which controls the opening of its respective valve on receiving a start signal and actuates closing of the valve when the pre-determined amount of fluid flow has been achieved. Each valve includes a closure member movable in a passageway from a first position in which the valve is fully closed to a second position in which the valve is fully open. The closure member comprises a groove having a transverse cross section that increases in area in the downstream or upstream direction, whereby movement of the closure member from the first position towards the second position opens a flow channel through the groove.

Abstract: Processes and apparatuses are provided for continuously harvesting particles from organic solution-laden near-critical and supercritical fluids. Broadly, the processes and apparatuses utilize a filter or separator comprising a thin membrane supported on a sintered stainless steel tube. A feed stream comprising the desired particles, a supercritical antisolvent for the particles (preferably CO2), and a solvent for the particles, is contacted with the membrane layer of the filter under supercritical conditions for the mixture of antisolvent and solvent. The preferred antisolvents are substantially miscible with the solvent and have a critical temperature of less than 160 DEG  C. The desired particles are retained by the filter while the solvent and most of the antisolvent pass through the filter, resulting in separation of the particles from the solvent.
