Abstract: An atherectomy system includes a housing and a drive mechanism disposed within the housing, the drive mechanism including a knob that allows translation of the drive mechanism relative to the housing. A sensor is adapted to detect a current position of the knob relative to the housing. A controller is adapted to utilize the signal representative of the current position of the knob to ascertain whether the drive assembly is moving in a direction indicative of anterograde ablation or a direction indicative of retrograde ablation. A stall stop mechanism is adapted to move the drive assembly in a direction opposite a direction of ablation when a stall is determined to be imminent. The controller is further adapted to determine when a stall is imminent, and to actuate the stall stop mechanism in an appropriate direction when a stall is imminent.

Abstract: Provided is an optical element for a lithographic apparatus. The optical element includes a capping layer that includes oxygen vacancies therein.

Abstract: Radiation emitted by a radiation source along a projected path can be diverted by a divergence angle by a lens in the projected path with a first surface and a second surface spaced apart along the projected path with the second surface farther from the radiation source than the first surface. The first surface can be curved and have a normal point perpendicular to a line parallel to the projected path and offset from the projected path by an eccentricity. Radiation striking the first surface can be diverted by a first angle relative to the projected path and can continue to strike the second surface, which diverts the radiation by a second angle. The sum of the first and second angles is the divergence angle. The apparatus can be used in a probe assembly to determine tip clearance of a turbine blade during operation of a gas turbine engine.
