Abstract: A component for a target material transfer system for a laser-produced plasma radiation source and a method of manufacturing such a component are disclosed. The component, which may, for example, be a target material transfer line, a freeze valve, or a flow restrictor, or some combination of this functionality, is made up of a glass capillary body sealed with glass-to-metal seals at both of its ends to a respective metal fitting. The method of manufacturing involves heating the ends of the glass capillary and then forming them to conform with, and forming a glass-to-metal seal with, the interior contours of the respective channels in each of the metal fittings.

Abstract: A method for providing a web page (26) having an embedded menu (46) to a web browser (24) and for displaying the web page (40) to a user of the web browser (24) are provided. A request for a web page (20) is received from a web browser (24). In response to the request, a web page (26) and an applet (28) associated with the web page (20) are packaged for transmission to the web browser (24). The web page (26) and the applet (28) are then transmitted to and downloaded by the web browser (24). When the web page (26) is displayed and the applet (28) is executed by the web browser (24), the applet (28) creates and manages an embedded menu (46) in the displayed web page (40)under control of the applet (28). This embedded menu (46) provides a user of the web browser (24) with a plurality of links (48) through one action in the displayed web page (40).
