  • Publication number: 20210018846
    Abstract: A method includes driving, while producing a burst of pulses at a pulse repetition rate, a spectral feature adjuster among a set of discrete states at a frequency correlated with the pulse repetition rate; and in between the production of the bursts of pulses (while no pulses are being produced), driving the spectral feature adjuster according to a driving signal defined by a set of parameters. Each discrete state corresponds to a discrete value of a spectral feature. The method includes ensuring that the spectral feature adjuster is in one of the discrete states that corresponds to a discrete value of the spectral feature of the amplified light beam when a pulse in the next burst is produced by adjusting one or more of: an instruction to the lithography exposure apparatus, the driving signal to the spectral feature adjuster, and/or the instruction to the optical source.

  • Patent number: 10885754
    Abstract: Integrating a direct current (DC) voltage motion sensing alarm with an alternating current (AC) voltage light source is presented herein. A wall switch box can comprise a voltage conversion component that generates a DC voltage from an AC voltage that is higher in magnitude than the DC voltage, a motion sensing component detects a motion of an object using the DC voltage, and a security component that generates, based on the motion using the DC voltage, an alarm signal that has been encoded according to an encryption strength of a communication protocol corresponding to a transmission of the alarm signal from the wall switch box. In one aspect, a communication expansion component can wirelessly transmit, using the DC voltage based on control information specifying the communication protocol, the alarm signal according to the encryption strength. In another aspect, the encryption strength can correspond to at least 2128 combinations.

  • Patent number: 10821416
    Abstract: A box style steam methane reformer (15) has plural sections (37), with each section having walls (27-29-31, 33) forming an interior cavity (35) and open ends (43) that communicate with the interior cavity. Each section has a feedstock supply pipe (71) and a fuel supply pipe (63) located along the top wall, as well as a syngas collection pipe (79) and a flue gas collection duct (75) located outside of the bottom wall. The pipes and ducts have ends that are aligned with each other to allow the sections to be assembled together. Burners (67) are in the interior cavity and are connected to the fuel supply pipe. Reactor tubes (59) extend through the interior cavity. Refractory members (81) are located in the interior cavity and across a slot. The spacing between the refractory members varies to control the flow of flue gas.

  • Patent number: 10802086
    Abstract: A circuit includes a Superconducting Quantum Interference Array (SQIF), a bias circuit, and a coil. The SQIF generates an output voltage that is a transfer function of the magnetic flux perpendicularly passing through the SQIF. An external magnetic field and a bias magnetic field supply the magnetic flux. The bias circuit generates a bias current for biasing the SQIF at an operating point. The coil generates the bias magnetic field through the SQIF from the bias current of the bias circuit. The bias magnetic field provides nullifying feedback to the SQIF that counterbalances a low-frequency portion of the external magnetic field, such that the output voltage of the SQIF detects a high-frequency portion of the external magnetic field. The circuit can be a receiver with the output voltage of the SQIF detecting an electromagnetic signal while the receiver is moving with changing orientation relative to the Earth's magnetic field.
