Abstract: A braking device for a movable door wing comprising an electric motor operated as a generator wherein its motor shaft is rotatable by a movement of the door wing and which outputs a motion-dependent motor voltage, and a braking circuit to which the motor voltage is applied or can be applied and via which the electric motor can be short-circuited in order to dampen a movement of the door wing. In addition, it is provided that the braking device comprises a safety device with a current sensor which is designed to detect amperage generated by the electric motor. The safety device is designed to modify the braking circuit depending on the detected amperage in such a way that upon reaching or exceeding a predetermined or predeterminable overload amperage, the current in the braking circuit is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a motion platform and aircraft simulator comprising the same. According to the invention, a motion platform is provided using at least three uprights and a sub-frame connected to the uprights by connecting members. A cabin in which a person can be accommodated is connected to the sub-frame. By restricting the way the various components are capable of moving relative to each other a motion platform is obtained which is able to offer the desired simulation of motion such as translational movement, pitch, roll, and yaw of the cabin.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus has a mask table adapted to accommodate a mask in at least two positions so that a mask with a pattern area larger than the exposure field can be imaged by first performing an exposure with the mask in the first position and then performing a second exposure with the mask in the second position.

Abstract: A thick pellicle is allowed to have a non-flat shape and its shape is characterized to calculate corrections to be applied in exposures to compensate for the optical effects of the pellicle. The pellicle may be mounted so as to adopt a one-dimensional shape under the influence of gravity to make the compensation easier.

Abstract: In a projection system a pattern plane on a reticle is illuminated to have a projection image focussed on an image plane. The presence of a pellicle in the optical path causes a virtual shift of the position of the pattern plane on the reticle. Depending on the presence or absence of the pellicle the image plane of the projection image needs to be adapted for proper focussing. A compensator counteracts the virtual shift of pattern plane due to the pellicle, by shifting the position of the pattern plane.
