摘要:
A liquid immersion exposure apparatus includes a projection optical system (PL) which projects an image of a pattern onto a substrate (W) and a unit (5) which supplies a liquid (7) between an optical element (4) at the end of the projection optical system (PL) and the substrate (W). A corrosion-resistant film composed of an oxide is formed on the surface of the optical element (4) to prevent corrosion by the liquid (7). Consequently, a desired performance of the projection optical system can be secured for a long time even where a full field exposure in the step-and-repeat manner or a scanning exposure in the step-and-scan manner is performed in a liquid-immersion state.

Anti-reflective coatings for use on an optical substrate are disclosed having a low reflectance over a broad band of wavelengths in the ultraviolet range and exhibiting excellent "laser durability." The anti-reflective coatings comprise a layer of high-refractive index material situated between at least two layers of low-refractive index material. The layers of high- and low-refractive index material are laminated onto an optical substrate, such as glass or quartz. The anti-reflective coating minimizes the loss of light due to flares, ghosts, etc. Additionally, reflections are reduced over a broad range of incidence angles.
摘要:
There is provided an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus in which ultrasonic waves are transmitted and received in directions each along the associated one of a plurality of scan lines extending in a depth direction within the subject to obtain received signals, and data representative of displacement of the respective pixel points along each scan line within the subject are evaluated on the basis of the thus obtained received signals, thereby displaying an image based on the data representative of the displacement. According to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, color data of a pixel train involved in the presence of displacement (color-displayed) appearing continuously by less than N pixels (typically, one pixel to two or three pixels at most) is replaced by data representative of the absence of the displacement (not color-displayed).

A variable reluctance rotation sensor comprising a flux member having a ferromagnetic pole piece formed of a cylindrical center portion interposed between a first and second end portion. Each of the end portions have a respective surface which contains elongated teeth, similarly separated by slots as teeth on the periphery of a toothed wheel. The cylindrical center portion is positioned with respect to the toothed wheel such that the toothed surfaces of the first and second end portions are positioned adjacent the periphery of the toothed wheel comprising the teeth and slots, the magnetic flux member and toothed wheel defining an air gap. The sensor further comprises permanent magnets which establish main flux loops traversing the air gap, and leakage flux loops linking an electrical coil wound about the cylindrical center portion. As the toothed wheel is rotated, the magnitude of the main flux loops vary in relation to the varying air gap. The leakage flux loops, in turn, vary in relation to the varying main flux loops, the varying leakage flux loops being linked to the electrical coil and resulting in a sinusoidal output voltage signal proportional to the varying leakage flux loops. Each cycle of the output signal corresponds to a predetermined incremental angular rotation of the toothed wheel.

An integral variable reluctance sensor and bearing grease seal assembly (sensor assembly) has at least one magnet and an annular wire coil secured at the interior of a housing which seals an annular space between a dynamic inner race and a static outer race. The sensor assembly is characterized by a relatively large flux change and resulting large peak to peak periodic output due to exploitation of the outer race and housing as high permeance flux paths in the sensor magnetic circuit and an additive arrangement of plural magnets. Sensor output signal strength is variable in step with the number of magnets and output variations due to air gap variations are minimized by symmetrical distribution of the same. The sensor assembly is further characterized by a single dynamic seal and no moving parts.
