Patent number: 7832016Abstract: In order to detect the exchange of a module, identified by a serial number, in a microprocessor system, a code number, which is obtained from the serial number by using an encryption method, as well as information required for calculating the serial number from the code number, are stored in the microprocessor system; the code number is read and an unencrypted serial number is calculated from the code number with the aid of the information; and the decrypted serial number thus obtained is compared to the serial number of the module and the module is detected as exchanged if its serial number does not match the decrypted serial number.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2004Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jochen Weber, Klaus Schneider, Axel Aue

Publication number: 20100265478Abstract: A microlithographic projection exposure apparatus comprises a projection objective which images an object onto an image plane and has a lens with a curved surface. In the projection objective there is a liquid or solid medium which directly adjoins the curved surface over a region which is usable for imaging the object. The projection exposure apparatus also has an adjustable manipulator for reducing an image field curvature which is caused by heating of the medium during the projection operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: CARL ZEISS SMT AGInventors: Helmut Beierl, Sascha Bleidistel, Wolfgang Singer, Toralf Gruner, Alexander Epple, Norbert Wabra, Susanne Beder, Jochen Weber, Heiko Feldmann, Bärbel Schwaer, Olaf Rogalsky, Arif Kazi
