  • Publication number: 20240085800
    Abstract: A component for a projection exposure apparatus for semiconductor lithography, comprises an optical element and an actuator, which are force-fittingly connected to each other. The actuator at least locally deforms the optical element. The actuator can be configured to minimize the loss in rigidity at the peripheries delimiting the actuator on the imaging quality. A method for designing a component of projection exposure apparatus is provided.

  • Publication number: 20230411877
    Abstract: A printed circuit board-and-plug arrangement comprises a printed circuit board from which at least one electrically conductive contact lug which is electrically connected to at least one conductor track of the printed circuit board protrudes, and a plug housing composed of insulating material, which plug housing has at least one opening, wherein a metal strip or metal wire is embedded in the insulating material so that at least a portion of the metal strip or the metal wire protrudes into the opening, wherein the plug housing is releasably connected to the printed circuit board so that the contact lug is inserted into the opening and thereby comes into contact with the portion, wherein the longitudinal direction of the contact lug and the longitudinal direction of the portion run perpendicularly in relation to one another.

  • Publication number: 20210187629
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for detecting connecting elements, in particular friction drilling screws, in mechanical joining and forming processes in which an error event in the process was identified. The method includes moving a carrier component for the connecting element toward a workpiece to determine a contact point of the connecting element on the workpiece. This feeding step is carried out as a next method step after the error event is detected and ascertains whether the contact point is detected within a predefined permissible tolerance in order to determine whether the connecting element is still located in a feed head.
