Abstract: Embodiments herein describe methods, devices, and systems for rupture detection and end-of-life monitoring of dynamic gas lock (DGL) membranes and pupil facet mirrors in lithographic apparatuses. A method for detecting rupture of a dynamic gas lock membrane in a lithographic apparatus includes illuminating the dynamic gas lock membrane with a measurement beam using a radiation source, in which the dynamic gas lock membrane is arranged between a wafer and projection optics of the lithography apparatus, and determining whether any radiation from the measurement beam is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane by using reflection collection optics, in which the reflection collection optics are arranged above the dynamic gas lock membrane. A rupture in the dynamic gas lock membrane is detected if no radiation is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane. If radiation is reflected from the dynamic gas lock membrane, the dynamic gas lock membrane is not ruptured.

Abstract: Data is received that comprises a full model for a physical object having a rotating part and a stationary part. The physical object includes fields coupled between the rotating part and the stationary part. A mesh is then generated for a portion of the physical object that includes a rotating mesh and a stationary mesh. Thereafter, a partial simulation model is created based on the full model and the mesh. Coupling relationships are established for the fields between the rotating mesh and the stationary mesh in the partial simulation model. The fields are then solved based on the coupling relationship of the partial simulation model. Thereafter, fields of the full model can be recovered based on the solved fields. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an interconnect layer send queue reservation system are provided. In one example, a method involves performing a transfer of data (e.g., an NVLog) from a storage system to a secondary storage system. A send queue having a fixed number of slots is maintained within an interconnect layer interposed between a file system and a Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) layer of the storage system. The interconnect layer implements an application programming interface (API) for the reservation system. A deadlock situation is avoided by, during a suspendable phase of a write transaction, making a reservation for slots within the send queue via the reservation system for the transfer of data. When the reservation is successful, the write transaction proceeds with a modify phase, during which the reservation is consumed and the interconnect layer is caused to perform an RDMA operation to carry out the transfer of data.
