Abstract: A method for obtaining mask and source patterns for printing integrated circuit patterns includes providing initial representations of a plurality of mask and source patterns. The method identifies long-range and short-range factors in the representations of the plurality of mask and source patterns, and provides a plurality of clips including a specified number of mask patterns. Short-range factors having overlapping ranges for each of the clips are specified. The method includes determining an initial processing priority for the plurality of clips, and determining a patterning relationship between integrated circuit patterns and the mask and source patterns. A primary objective is determined which expresses the printability of the integrated circuit patterns in terms of the patterning relationship.

Abstract: A method of scheduling delivery of at least one of goods (e.g., repair parts) and services (e.g., repair services) includes inputting a performance objective (e.g., a plurality of performance objectives), and network data pertaining to a network of mobile points, and generating (e.g., by utilizing the input network data and the performance objective) a delivery schedule for a delivery vehicle (e.g., one or more delivery vehicles) to deliver the at least one of the goods and services.

Abstract: The invention relates to new quinoline derivatives of the general Formula I ##STR1## (wherein X stands for hydrogen, halogen or lower alkoxy;n is an integer of 1, 2 or 3;R.sup.1 represents hydrogen andR.sup.2 represents hydroxy-lower alkyl or lower alkoxy-lower alkyl or a group of the general formula IV, ##STR2## wherein Z stands for --O--, --S--, --NH-- or --N(lower alkyl)--; the dotted lines represent optional bonds; andm is 0 or 1; orR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, they are attached to, form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group which may optionally contain a further oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur heteroatom and may be optionally substituted),and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. The new compounds of the present invention exhibit radiosensitizing effect, make hypoxial cells highly sensitive towards radiation and may be used in radiation therapy.
