Patent number: 11739024Abstract: A glass container has an outer glass surface with an inkjet printed image provided on the surface. A cold-end coating (CEC) with a thickness between 0 to 20 nm is present between the outer glass surface and the inkjet printed image. Such glass container is preferably a one-way beverage bottle. A method of inkjet printing an image on a glass container comprises the steps of (a) manufacturing a glass container having a CEC layer; (b) removing at least part of the CEC layer to a level wherein the remaining CEC layer has a thickness of 0 to 20 nm; and (c) inkjet printing an image on the glass container.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV S.A.Inventors: Jonas Vandecruys, Marin Steenackers, Johan Van de Velde, Frederik De Graaf

Patent number: 10705439Abstract: A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignees: ASML Netherlands B.V., ASML Holding N.V.Inventors: Nicolaas Rudolf Kemper, Henrikus Herman Marie Cox, Sjoerd Nicolaas Lambertus Donders, Roelof Frederik De Graaf, Christiaan Alexander Hoogendam, Nicolaas Ten Kate, Martinus Hendrikus Antonius Leenders, Jeroen Johannes Sophia Maria Mertens, Frits Van Der Meulen, Joost Jeroen Ottens, Franciscus Johannes Herman Maria Teunissen, Jan-Gerard Cornelis Van Der Toorn, Martinus Cornelis Maria Verhagen, Marco Polizzi, Edwin Augustinus Matheus Van Gompel, Johannes Petrus Maria Smeulers, Stefan Philip Christiaan Belfroid, Herman Vogel

Patent number: 10488759Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is provided with a liquid confinement structure which defines at least in part a space configured to contain liquid between the projection system and the substrate. In order to reduce the crossing of the edge of the substrate which is being imaged (which can lead to inclusion of bubbles in the immersion liquid), the cross-sectional area of the space in a plane parallel to the substrate is made as small as possible. The smallest theoretical size is the size of the target portion which is imaged by the projection system. In an embodiment, the shape of a final element of the projection system is also changed to have a similar size and/or shape in a cross-section parallel to the substrate to that of the target portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Bob Streefkerk, Sjoerd Nicolaas Lambertus Donders, Roelof Frederik De Graaf, Christiaan Alexander Hoogendam, Hans Jansen, Martinus Hendrikus Antonius Leenders, Paulus Martinus Maria Liebregts, Jeroen Johannes Sophia Maria Mertens, Jan-Gerard Cornelis Van Der Toorn, Michel Riepen
