Pole parameters and zeros of the ER filter are modified
to minimize the ER filter. The apparatus and methods
disclosed can function with customer data to adaptively
optimize the ER filter in real time during normal
operation of the storage device. Furthermore,
temperature compensation circuits are disclosed to
compensate for temperature dependencies in the ER
filter.

   a housing, an input driveshaft (11) mounted in the
housing having one end arranged to be coupled to the engine
of the vehicle, an output driveshaft (12) mounted in the
housing having one end arranged to be coupled to the driven
wheels of the vehicle, the output driveshaft (12) being coaxial

     This single unit creates a simple and light system
which is easy to fit. It can be fitted to existing vehicles
by moderately skilled mechanics in a substantially shorter
time than existing packages and without the need for the
vehicle to be sent to a specialist fitter. The reduction

Abstract: The tubular unit, to transfer a beverage into a container by the application of an under pressure at one end, is calibrated to fit into the container opening or the wall of the liquid passage. A unit forms the outer surface of the tube into a projection which locks into the opening or passage and cannot be pulled out. The end projection of the tube has a truncated cone shape, tapering towards the tube end and with the smaller diameter leading. The trailing end of the projection is flat, as a limit stop. The enlarged ring projection is of a thermoplastic material, where an end of the suction tube is turned back on itself and shaped into a truncated cone with a limit stop surface. An Independent claim is included for a mfg. process using a mold with a ring cavity impression to turn back one end of the tube. The mold is heated to the molding temp. of the tubular material, for it to be pressed axially into the cavity impression at the suction end to shape the end projection of the required length. Using a second ring cavity impression, with an inner diameter matching the tube, the outer surface has a truncated cone shape to be heated to mold the end projection of the tube when it is pressed in axially.

IPC: H01J37/304
Filed: 1999-04-05
Abstract: For electron beam wafer or mask processing, a registration mark is capacitively coupled to the top surface of an overlying resist layer on a substrate to form a voltage potential on the surface of the resist layer directly over the registration mark. The registration mark is directly connected to an electrical lead that produces an AC voltage on the registration mark, which is capacitively induced on the surface of the resist layer. Alternatively, the registration mark itself is capacitively coupled to a conductive plate placed on the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate. An AC voltage is then applied to the conductive plate that induces a charge on the registration mark, which then capacitively induces a charge on the surface of the layer of resist. An electron beam scanning across the surface of the resist layer generates secondary electrons. The secondary electrons have a low energy and are affected by the voltage potential created at the surface of the resist layer. Thus, by detecting the secondary electron signal generated by the electron beam the voltage potential on the surface of the resist layer is detected in contrast with surrounding areas. Consequently, the registration mark is detected by an electron beam, such as a low energy electron beam produced for example by an electron beam microcolumn, that does not have sufficient energy to penetrate the resist layer.
