Abstract: Provided is an elevator car frame, comprising: an elevator cage, a main elevator car frame comprising a pair of main columns, an upper main beam and a lower main beam, and a pair of diversion sheaves; wherein the main columns are disposed on both sides of the elevator cage; the upper main beam is disposed above the elevator cage; the lower main beam is disposed below the elevator cage; the diversion sheaves are disposed on one side of the upper main beam; and a line connecting centers of the diversion sheaves is parallel to the upper main beam. The invention features increased working space, reduced height of the elevator car roof, and lower cost.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes (1) receiving information about a substrate processed within a low K dielectric deposition subsystem from an integrated inspection system of the low K dielectric deposition subsystem; (2) determining an etch process to perform within an etch subsystem based at least in part on the information received from the inspection system of the low K dielectric deposition subsystem; and (3) directing the etch subsystem to etch at least one low K dielectric layer on the substrate based on the etch process. Other methods, systems, apparatus, data structures and computer program products are provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to the preparation of molds for the production of contact lenses and other ophthalmic articles. By using an inorganic material to coat the optical surfaces and sidewalls of mold parts made from clear-resin materials, manufacturers can produce lens molds with greater dimensional stability and chemical resistance. In addition to protecting the clear resin from interaction with otherwise reactive monomers from which the molded article is made, such coatings can also be used to achieve preferential release of the molded article. The resulting mold is especially useful for providing an economical way to improve manufacturing quality of contact lenses.

Abstract: A first system is provided that is configured to pattern a substrate that includes (1) a lithography subsystem configured to form a patterned masking layer on the substrate; and (2) an etch subsystem configured to receive the substrate after the patterned masking layer has been formed thereon and to etch the substrate to form one or more etched features on the substrate, the etch subsystem having an integrated inspection system configured to inspect the substrate; and (3) a controller coupled to the lithography subsystem and the etch subsystem. The controller includes computer program code configured to communicate with each subsystem and to perform the steps of receiving information about the substrate from the integrated inspection system of the etch subsystem; and adjusting a stepper focus of the lithography subsystem during formation of a subsequent patterned masking layer based at least in part on the information received from the etch subsystem.

Abstract: Colored contact lenses that are colored by means of interference coatings for cosmetically enhancing or changing the color of the eyes are disclosed. In particular, the interference coating is applied to a surface of the lens material and, although transparent to the cornea and iris anatomy, so that the coating reflects pre-selected bands of the light spectrum to cosmetically change or enhance the natural color or hue of the eye.

Abstract: A method for making a tantala/silica interference filter on a vitreous substrate, which filter retains integrity at temperatures in excess of 600.degree. C., includes the steps of depositing by low pressure chemical vapor deposition a first coating of tantala/silica on the substrate, heat treating the first coating, and depositing by low pressure chemical vapor deposition a second coating of tantala/silica, the first and second coatings in combination providing a tantala/silica interference filter with a thickness of at least 3.5 microns on the vitreous substrate. There is further presented an electric lamp having an envelope and an interference filter applied thereto, in accordance with the above method.

Abstract: A method for making a tantala/silica interference filter on the surface of a tungsten-halogen incandescent lamp having molybdenum leads includes depositing on the lamp surface by low pressure chemical vapor deposition the interference filter comprising alternating layers of tantala and silica. Thereafter, the filter is heat treated in an atmosphere of humidified inert gas containing less than 1% oxygen.
