Abstract: Process window qualification (PWQ) layouts can be used to determine a presence of a pattern anomaly associated with the pattern, patterning process, or patterning apparatus. For example, a modulated die or field can be compared to a slightly lower offset modulated die or field. In another example, the high to low corners for a particular condition or combination of conditions are compared. In yet another example, process modulation parameters can be used to estimate criticality of particular weak points of interest.

Abstract: A method of cleaning up deposits in an indirect injection diesel engine, the method including combusting in the engine a diesel fuel composition having a quaternary ammonium salt additive; and optionally one or more further nitrogen-containing detergents; wherein the quaternary ammonium salt additive comprises the quaternised reaction product of a hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid derived acylating agent and a compound able to react with said acylating agent and which includes a tertiary amine group; wherein each molecule of the hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid derived acylating agent includes on average at least 1.2 succinic acid moieties.

Abstract: A method of cleaning up internal diesel injector deposits in a severely fouled engine, the method including combusting in the engine a diesel fuel composition having (a) a quaternary ammonium salt additive; and (b) one or more further nitrogen-containing detergents; in which the quaternary ammonium salt additive includes the quaternised reaction product of a hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid derived acylating agent and a compound able to react with said acylating agent and which includes a tertiary amine group; in which each molecule of the hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid derived acylating agent includes on average at least 1.2 succinic acid moieties.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a vehicle (100), the vehicle (100) having an autonomous mode of operation, the system comprising: one or more sensors (102) configured to measure one or more parameters associated with an operator (110) controlling the vehicle (100) to perform a first operation; and one or more processors (106) configured to: determine that measurements taken by the one or more sensors (102) fulfil one or more predetermined criteria; responsive to determining that the measurements taken by the one or more sensors (102) fulfil the one or more predetermined criteria, determine a second operation for performance by the vehicle (100); and control the vehicle (100) in the autonomous mode such that the vehicle (100) performs the second operation.

Abstract: An optical inertial measurement method for determining a 6DOF pose in respect of a moving platform, the method comprising providing, in respect of said moving platform, a camera unit (10) comprised of at least three monocular cameras (14, 16, 18) connected rigidly together and configured such that their fields of view do not overlap and cover motion of said platform in each of three principal, substantially orthogonal axes; receiving video outputs from each of said cameras; determining individual point correspondences from said video outputs, and estimating therefrom, for each camera, a transform that includes translation values representative of direction of translation in the x and y axes, rotation about the optical axis and a scale factor, each transform being expressed with respect to a local 3D coordinate system associated with a respective camera; and mapping said translation values in the x and y axes to a global 3D coordinate system, having its origin defined by a point between said cameras, and multi
