Patent number: 10281825Abstract: A lithographic apparatus applies patterns to substrates, the substrates being processed as a plurality of lots. Each lot of substrates receives a particular layer pattern under layer-specific operating conditions. A thermal model is provided for modeling and compensating one or more characteristics of thermal behavior of components within the lithographic apparatus, in response to the varying layer-specific operating conditions associated with a sequence of lots. The thermal model is also used to simulate thermal behavior of the apparatus when processing a given collection of lots in different possible sequences. Based on comparison of the simulated thermal behavior in different sequences of lots, an optimized sequence is determined. Optionally, lot sequencing rules are determined and used to obtain a preferred thermal behavior when processing a collection of lots in the future.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Michiel Kupers, Wolfgang Helmut Henke

Patent number: 10284410Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to processing signals received from different sources, such as may be relevant to receiving signals having respective time-offsets based upon a distance via which the respective signals travel, and/or due to an oscillator clock mismatch. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, respective fast Fourier transform (FFT) series are generated for symbols in respective ones of communications received in parallel. For each message that the receiver is trying to decode, channel estimation is performed on the respective FFT series, and one of the FFT series is selected based upon metrics indicative of interference in the respective FFT series, for that particular message. A decoding timing window is set based on the selected FFT series, and the selected FFT series is decoded.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventor: Vincent Pierre Martinez

Patent number: 10278504Abstract: Disclosed herein is a chair of the kind that is shipped to a user disassembled. The chair includes at least one chair function controller (i.e., a paddle) that is actuated to control a chair function operator (e.g., a gas cylinder located below and coupled to the chair seat). During assembly, a pair of cable sections are mechanically and serially connected to one another at a force responsive connector block that is located within and slidable through a cable connector housing at the bottom of the chair seat. By virtue of connecting the first and second cables together at the connector block, the chair function controller paddle is connected to the chair function operator so that an actuation of the controller causes a pulling force to be applied to the chair function operator to enable the seat or back of the chair to be displaced.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Living Style (B.V.I.)
