    摘要: Maskless microlithography provides a sub-pixel voting system using multiple, slightly-offset, digitally-controlled, unit-pixel, partial exposures with cumulative voting to identify regions of full exposure for sub-pixel-selection. Computer control of a virtual-mask pixel-selection device of unit-pixel resolution usually provides pixel-resolution patterns. To achieve sub-pixel resolution, the virtual mask, after a first partial exposure, is offset by less than a pixel-width and a second partial exposure is made. If the offset is ½ pixel-width, the result is a half-pixel size image region of full exposure. Finer voting can be defined by number of pulses, by significantly changing the offset, by offset in another dimension, and by increasing the multiplicity of exposures, thus enabling resolution enhancement by large multiples. The offsetting techniques can also be used to drill controlled-depth vias or to provide topography controls for laser-milling.

    摘要: A material for suppressing proliferation of cancer cells is produced by entrapping cancer cells in a selectively-permeable structure such as a bead, and culturing the entrapped cells in a culture medium. Entrapment restricts growth of the cancel cells during culturing and causes the cells to produce in the culture medium a material having a molecular weight of at least about 30 kd that suppresses proliferation of cancer cells. The material is separated from the culture medium by filtering the medium through a filter that separates material having a molecular weight of at least about 30 kd from material having a molecular weight of less than 30 kd. The structure that entraps the cells may contain 10,000 to 500,000 cells.

    摘要: A process for fabricating microchannel plates produces large area microchannel plates that have channel exit openings as small as 0.5 micron, MTF.about.1, pitch-limited resolution (a factor of 10 potential improvement in resolution) and at a cost of $0.40/sq. centimeter, and with funneling controlled as to configuration and exit opening size and shape. Microchannels may be rectangular in cross section, or rectangular, or trapezoidal, or other configuration, including straight sided, chevron or balloon sided. Microchannels of differing configurations may be interspersed, for reasons of alignment or to control pixel characteristics. Material choice may include glass, ceramic, metal, alloy and plastics, plus dopants. This materials flexibility, and the improved geometrical uniformity lead to higher signal-to-noise ratio and lower outgassing, and to a significant improvement in performance. Microchannels are formed in `green` glass/ceramic ribbons using high-precision, low-cost and versatile planar process steps, eliminating the need for the fiber-drawing and chemical-etching. The ribbon of green glass/ceramic powder in a binder and solvent slurry is configured in complementary partial microchannel forming grooves and partially dried to a safe handling condition, then carefully stacked upon a takeup device with precise alignment. The stack is cut into segments for final solidification by heat fusing and curing and sliced, then smoothed and equipped with appropriate ion barrier and electrode layers for use as microchannel plates.

    摘要: A system is described for recycling radiation reflected by an illuminated patterning mask in a via-hole drilling or exposure tool. The mask is illuminated by high-energy laser radiation, and the illuminated region is imaged onto a substrate by a projection, proximity, or contact method. The source radiation is suitably shaped by a lens assembly and focused into an optical intensity homogenizer with the desired numerical aperture. The homogenizer has the base function of converting the focused beam to self-luminous light required for drilling of via-holes or other processes accomplished by the tool, while maintaining the numerical aperture of the beam. The homogenizer also participates in the radiation-recycling function. An apertured reflector allows radiation from the source to enter the homogenizer. The radiation passing through and exiting the homogenizer is image by a lens to illuminate a portion of the mask. Radiation incident on transparent areas of the mask coming propagates to the substrate, but radiation incident upon reflective regions of the mask coating is reflected back into the homogenizer. The apertured reflector at the entry port of the homogenizer has a reflective back surface which returns the majority of the light re-entering the homogenizer to the patterning mask. The effective illumination intensity is greatly increased by the recycling of the back-reflected radiation, allowing for a reduction in source power or decrease in exposure time for the drilling of via-holes or other exposure processes.

    摘要: A compact light-beam homogenizer is realized by multiple reflections within internally-reflecting optical channels which are arranged in a folded configuration. The optical channels may be hollow with mirrored walls, or made of a solid transparent optical material. Light enters through an apertured mirror whose internally reflective surface sends back-reflected rays forward for recycling. Multiple entry ports may be provided for combining several beams or for reducing the intensity in the channels. The homogenizer may be used in reverse as a beam divider. Different shapes of the optical channels are provided for obtaining an effective emission surface of different shapes. Due to reflections from surfaces that are parallel to the optical axis, the numerical aperture of the input beams is preserved.
