Abstract: An end effector (20, 20?) for simultaneously transferring a batch of substrates (202). The end effector (20, 20?) includes a set of juxtaposed substrate grippers (22, 22?) having a pitch between pairs of grippers (22, 22?) that does not exceed six (6.00) mm. Each gripper (22, 22?) has a contact surface (54, 54?) against which a substrate (202) becomes clamped upon injecting a gaseous jet into an open groove (56A, 56B, 56?) formed into the contact surface (54, 54?). Due to the close spacing between immediately adjacent pairs of substrate grippers (22, 22?), the open groove (56A, 56B, 56?) must be very shallow. The open groove (56A, 56B, 56?) can be characterized by having a groove depth into the contact surface (54, 54?) that is between two (2 .00) mm and two and four tenths (2.40) mm.

Abstract: A two stage opener (50) for an EUV RSP (32, 34) includes an outer RSP pod opener (42, 44) having: 1. a RSP latch mechanism (42rlm) for latching a sealed outer RSP pod (32, 34) in place on the RSP pod opener (42, 44) and 2. a RSP lock/unlock mechanism (42lulm) for unlocking the RSP pod (32, 34) so the RSP pod opener (42, 44) can separate a RSP pod cover (32c, 343c) from a RSP pod door (32d, 34d). After the RSP lock/unlock mechanism (42lulm) unlocks the RSP pod (32,34), the RSP pod opener (42, 44) separates the RSP pod door (32d, 34d) from the RSP pod cover (32c, 34c) thereby exposing a metal case (20). The pod opener (50) also includes a metal case opener (52) having at least two (2) arms (56) for receiving and supporting the metal case cover (22) while the two stage pod opener (50) separates the metal case base (24) from the metal case cover (22) thereby exposing the hare reticle (26) carried on the metal case base (24).

Abstract: A system for recovering an architecture register mapping table (ARMT). The system includes a first number of collection circuits and decode circuits, a second number of selection circuits, and an enable circuit. Information related to the mapping between each physical register and an appropriate architecture register is obtained from a physical register mapping table (PRMT) by one and only one collection circuit during only one of a fourth number of instruction cycles. Each decode circuit has its input coupled to the output of one different collection circuit and is capable of converting its input into a third number bit wide binary string selection code at its output. Each selection circuit is configured to receive from each selection code a bit from a bit position associated with that selection circuit. The enable circuit is configured to appropriately enable mapping of information from the PRMT to the ARMT.

Abstract: A weapon mount tactical light trigger includes a mount for Picatinny rail to clamp to a shotgun or rifle, a light mount to clamp a tactical light, and a principle mount to joint both mounts with a trigger base fixed at the back. Components of the trigger base include a trigger to switch on/off the tactical light, a circular shaft to allocate the trigger on the trigger base and a fixing bolt to keep the trigger and switch of the light to stay connected under normal conditions. When a user presses the trigger with a finger, the trigger pivots on the circular shaft and exerts pressure to the switch of the tactical light. The structure design of the trigger base is according to the principle of leverage; via pressing the trigger, it exerts pressure to the switch to turn on/off the light; as the mechanism design of this creation avoids possible shortfall of wire conduction and enhance the performance stability of the tactical light.

Abstract: The present invention is a pod opener having an end effector which: a. grips and releases a reticle supported above the base of a pod; and b. while transferring the reticle between the base of the pod and an adjacent IC photolithography tool, reorients the reticle. In one embodiment, the pod opener reorients the reticle by rotating it about a single axis disposed substantially perpendicular to its patterned surface. In another embodiment, the present invention is a pod opener which while transferring the reticle between the base of the pod and an adjacent IC photolithography tool, in addition to effecting rotation substantially perpendicular to a reticle's patterned surface, also turns the reticle over so a patterned surface of the reticle is oriented for proper focus within the IC photolithography tool.

Abstract: A trigger activating tactical light grip includes a Picatinny rail mount to assemble the grip to the firearm, a tactical light mount to mount the tactical light and a grip to provide a place for holding the gun. In the grip, there is a trigger to initiate movement for a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is to deliver the movement of the trigger, a tunnel for the connecting rod to slide along, a circular shaft to assemble the trigger, and a fixing pin to keep the connecting rod to be contacted with the tactical light switch. When a user provides pressure with a finger on the trigger, it pivots on the circular shaft and leads the connecting rod to slide along the tunnel. As a result, the connecting rod exerts pressure to the switch of the tactical light and then the aim of activating the tactical light is accomplished.

Abstract: A specially adapted SMIF pod (20) receives and holds one particular type of reticle cassette (36) or reticle holder (132) selected from among dozens of different configurations thereof. The SMIF pod (20) may be interrogated to determine the particular type of reticle cassette (36) or reticle holder (132) carried therein. A reticle transfer system (50) receives a pair of such SMIF pods (20), interrogates each of the SMIF pods (20) to ascertain which type of reticle cassette (36) or reticle holder (132) the SMIF pod (20) carries, and automatically moves reticles (42) through a controlled environment from one reticle cassette (36) or reticle holder (32) to another reticle cassette (36) or reticle holder (132). A reticle reorienter (56) includable in the system (50) also permits automatically exchanging reticles (42) between a reticle carrier (144) and a reticle cassette (36) or reticle holder (132).

Abstract: A prealigner for aligning a disk-like work piece such as a silicon wafer, by centering and rotationally orienting the work piece. The prealigner centers and orients the work piece while only touching the periphery of the work piece using a plurality of wafer rollers and an air bearing table to support the weight of the wafer. The prealigner can accept a range of different diameters of work piece without modification because the wafer rollers are radially moveable until they contact and center the work piece. The prealigner includes a plurality of simple optical sensors for detecting a notch in the work piece and the work piece is rotationally oriented based on a notch detection signal from the optical sensors.
