    摘要: Techniques for transferring utilities to and from a reticle or wafer stage in a lithography system while minimizing physical disturbances that affect the stage are described. These techniques involve transferring utilities to and from the stage without making physical contact with the stage. Alternatively, utilities are transferred by making physical contact with the stage while the stage is in a stationary position. In addition to transferring utilities to and from the stage, devices such as processing devices, buffers (storage mediums), electrical components, and mechanical components can be placed within the stage to use and/or control the transferred utilities.

    摘要: A double bellows seal including a plurality of rings having first and second end rings, a middle ring, a first bellows, and a second bellows. The first bellows is formed from a flexible material that is sealingly connected between the first end ring and the middle ring, and it has a twist bias in a first rotational direction relative to an axis of the rings. The second bellows is formed from a flexible material that is sealingly connected between the second end ring and the middle ring. The second bellows has a twist bias in a second rotational direction relative to an axis of the rings that is opposite that of the first rotational direction.

    摘要: A sliding seal system for providing a fluid seal that is slidable in two linear and one rotational degrees-of-freedom and that is flexible in one linear and two rotational degrees-of-freedom is disclosed. The sliding seal system includes a support member having a working surface arranged to provide a seal interface with a sealing surface on a first body. A flexible membrane is attached to the support member and coupled to a second body. A fluid supply system is provided to deliver a fluid to a region between the working surface of the support member and the sealing surface of the first body to provide buoyant flotation to the seal support member at the working surface. In a preferred embodiment, a fluid exhaust system is also provided to remove the fluid delivered by the fluid supply system. One particularly useful application of the described sliding seal system is in a photolithography system to provide a seal between an exposure apparatus and a wafer chamber.

    摘要: A three-degree of motion joint comprising a translational joint, a first support member, a first rotational joint, and a second rotational joint. The translational joint allows a first component and a second component to move with respect to each other along the z-axis. The translational joint includes a first translational flexural member that connects a first member and a base member. The first support member is attached to the base member. The first rotational joint allows the first component and the second component to be moved with respect to each other in the &THgr;x direction. The first rotational joint includes a first rotational flexural member that is attached to the first member. The second rotational joint allows the first component and second component to move with respect to each other in the &THgr;y direction. The second rotational joint includes a second rotational flexural member attached to the first support member.

    摘要: A braid removal tool has a comb, a strap, and a plurality of prongs. The strap is used to fasten the comb to a user's thumb. To remove a section of braids, a user first engages prongs with braids by grasping a section of unbraided hair between an index finger and the comb. Once the prongs are engaged with braids, use a downward motion and comb braids toward a hair end. Repeat this procedure until braids are completely removed. The tool may be worn on the thumb of a second hand to assist the second hand in grasping the braids to prevent excessive pulling on a scalp during combing.
