  • Patent number: 11968767
    Abstract: A EUV light source includes a prepulse laser source for emitting a prepulse laser beam at a prepulse wavelength, a main pulse laser source for emitting a main pulse laser beam at a main pulse wavelength, a prepulse beam guiding device for feeding the prepulse laser beam into a radiation generating chamber for irradiation of a target material with a prepulse, and a main pulse beam guiding device for feeding the main pulse laser beam into the radiation generating chamber for irradiation of the target material with a main pulse. The target material is configured to emit EUV radiation on account of the irradiation with the prepulse and the main pulse. The prepulse beam guiding device has a separation device configured to reflect disturbing radiation in a wavelength range that does not include the prepulse wavelength back into the radiation generating chamber or into at least one beam trap.

  • Patent number: 11967218
    Abstract: A computerized method and system are disclosed that are directed to determining whether a communicatively coupling has been established between a network device and a transceiver, where both the network device and the transceiver are typically located within the cabin of a vehicle. The computerized method may include detecting movement of the first network device at a speed greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold indicating the vehicle is in motion and attempting to communicatively couple the first network device with the transceiver via both a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module at least a predetermine number of times. When a communicatively coupling cannot be established, an inactivity timer is decremented and is further decremented as long as system activity is not detected. When the inactivity timer decrements to a predetermined value, a notification indicating that the communicative coupling was not established is generated.
