    摘要: A system and methods for generating a variable rate filtered output using synchronous filters having the same filter sampling time, that avoids complexities of asynchronous filters. A system employs multiple filters that are staggered in time and set so that the output of one of the multiple filters is available whenever a secondary process requires state information. In another embodiment, the synchronous filters are programmable so as to change the filter sampling time. This configuration is possible when it is known that the prescribed time interval of the secondary process is longer than the filter sampling time and the prescribed time interval is an integer multiple of the filter sampling time. By using programmable filters, the number of filters required to accommodate a certain prescribed time interval can be minimized. Whether a system employs multiple non-programmable filters staggered in time or programmable filters, the invention achieves producing a variable rate filtered output while using synchronous filters. Thus, computationally intensive and complicated variable rate filters can be avoided while minimizing processor requirements. In another aspect of the invention, the inventive method of generating a variable rate filtered output is employed in a lithography system to control the movements of various components therein. In one embodiment, the filtered outputs are used to estimate the relative positions of the reticle and the wafer. With the variable rate feature, the lithography system can dynamically accommodate for the noise arising from component movements and other sources in the wafer exposure process.

    摘要: An improved electrodynamic acoustic transducer eliminates or reduces the need for flexible or elastic materials to suspend an internal magnetic element by using both static and dynamic signal-dependent magnetic fields to control its movement. In one implementation, the transducer has a magnet that moves within a surrounding tube. This tube in turn supports one or more electromagnetic coils that generate a dynamic signal-dependent magnetic field that causes the internal magnetic element to vibrate. The surrounding tube also supports one or more magnets whose location on the tube is fixed and whose magnetic fields provide appropriate restoring forces acting on the internal magnetic element. These fixed magnets may be replaced or supplemented by ferromagnetic materials. This transducer may provide sound and infrasonic vibration by coupling the internal magnetic element to other radiating elements or by being placed in close proximity to or in actual contact with the pinna or meatus of the human ear when used in headphones or earphones, for example, and it also may provide sound through the direct vibration of the air in contact with the surface of the internal magnetic element. When direct atmospheric coupling is not required, the transducer may be assembled in a sealed enclosure.
