  • Publication number: 20100188666
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of calibration of the beam position of a corpuscular beam. A calibration body with structures is used, wherein the structures have a structure period Ps in the plain section and within each structure there is a position L intended for the measurement. For the calibration, at least one detection signal each at structures in the plain section of the calibration body is generated, wherein the corpuscular beam is deflected with deflectors on beam target positions L1 with the beam target period P1, which is larger than half of the structure period Ps, whereby a basic calibration is used for the control of the deflectors, and wherein the beam target deflections intentionally deviate either in the beam target period P1 from the structure period Ps and/or in the beam target position L1 from the position L.

  • Publication number: 20060213240
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical lock cylinder, which interacts with evaluating electronics for recognizing an access authorization and comprises a housing that has two opposing cylindrical cavities (12). A lock core, which can be actuated by a key, or a knob shaft (11), which is joined to a knob in a rotationally fixed manner, is rotationally mounted in said cavities. The lock core and/or knob shaft (11) interact with a lock lug (13), which actuates, in particular, a bolt or latch of a door lock. When the key fits or in the event of a successful access authorization, an electromechanically driven blocking or coupling element (14) is moved out of the position of rest into an angular position, and a rotationally fixed joining between the key or knob and the lock lug (13) is effected. The invention is characterized in that the lock lug (13), when the blocking or coupling element (14) is in a position of rest, can be freely rotated relative to both lock cores or to both knob shafts (11).
