  • USES OF NOVEL POTASSIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS
    Publication number: 20080274976
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to kappaM (?M) conopeptide RIIIK and its use for blocking the flow of potassium ions through voltage-gated potassium channels. The ?M conopeptides include unglycosylated and O-glycosylated peptides.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 11, 2008
    Publication date: November 6, 2008
    Applicants: UNIVERSITY OF UTAH RESEARCH FOUNDATION, MAX-PLANCK-GESELLSCHAFT zur FORDERUNG der WISSENSCHAFTEN e.V.

  • Test mask for optical and electron optical systems
    Patent number: 7416819
    Abstract: A test mask 1 for microscopy is disclosed, which is formed on a substrate of quartz. The test mask 1 comprises a multiplicity of sub-masks 4, which are implemented such that each sub-mask 4 comprises structures which differ within a sub-mask 4 with regard to form and size. In addition, the structures of the individual sub-masks 4 are designed for optical or particle optical measurements according to size.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Vistec Semiconductor Systems GmbH
    Inventors: Walter Steinberg, Gerhard Schlueter, Michael Ferber
  • SUBSTRATE SUPPORT APPARATUS FOR USE IN A POSITION MEASURING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20070103667
    Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate support apparatus (41) for use in a position measuring device (1) for determining the position of a substrate (30, 45) supported by the substrate support apparatus (41) by means of a laser interferometer system (29), wherein the substrate support apparatus (41) comprises a traversable stage construction (26, 42), and a stage mirror (9, 43) fixedly associated with the stage construction for reflecting a laser beam of the laser interferometer system, wherein it is suggested that the measurement-critical components, associated in a spatially fixed way, of the substrate support apparatus (41) in the combination of elements ranging from the stage mirror (9, 43) to the substrate (30, 45) are of material structures having moduli of elasticity which differ from that of the substrate (30, 45) by not more than 15%. As a result, the negative effects of air pressure fluctuations on the laser-interferometric position measurement can be greatly reduced.
