    摘要: A proportional fluid control valve with improved linearity and reduced hysteresis is disclosed. The valve allows for smooth, gentle flow of fluid in a substantially linear fashion, with minimal turns. Preferably the valve is pneumatically actuated. Where temperature is not an issue, the valve can be actuated by any suitable means, including stepper motors, linear motors, voice coils or other force actuators. A versatile molded valve body that requires fewer parts compared to a machined valve is disclosed. In one embodiment, the molded valve body is designed specifically for flow control and contains two sensor housings with carefully positioned flow paths to optimize the use of space. The sensor housing or housings can be separately formed as inserts, allowing installation in various orientations.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present, invention provide a system and method for reducing the hold-up volume of a pump. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for determining a home position to reduce hold-up volume at a dispense pump and/or a feed pump. The home position for the diaphragm can be selected such that the volume of the chamber at the dispense pump and/or feed pump contains sufficient fluid to perform the various steps of a dispense cycle while minimizing the hold-up volume. Additionally, the home position of the diaphragm can be selected to optimize the effective range of positive displacement.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling fluid flow in an immersion lithography system. The system includes a fluid flow path that allows fluid to flow from a source through a fluid retention hood and then a fluid control valve. The system includes a pressure sensing system for determining a pressure drop across the fluid retention hood. The pressure drop across the fluid retention hood changes with the fluid flow rate. A control system receives signals indicating the pressure drop across the fluid retention hood and produces control signals for the fluid control valve. The control signals adjust the fluid flow rate through the fluid control valve to drive the flow rate to a desired rate, thereby driving the sensed pressure drop across the fluid retention hood to a desired pressure drop.

    摘要: The present invention provides a liquid filtration device with internal flow paths that facilitate the purging of air bubbles from the device. The device includes internal channels that collect bubbles from fluid entering the filtration device and more efficiently direct fluid to sweep bubbles from the device during operation. The present invention also provides for an automatic means to minimize fluid loss during a vent process.

    摘要: A separation module is provided having a housing, a filter within the housing and at least one outlet and one inlet. The outlet and inlet are positioned to mate with fittings of a pump housing. A stationary receptor positioned between the pump housing and the separation module has a pivot line and two shelves on its outer surface which permit fitting the separation module in a stationary receptor adjacent the pump housing.
