  • Patent number: 11360293
    Abstract: A catadioptric projection lens images a pattern of a mask in an effective object field of the projection lens into an effective image field of the projection lens with electromagnetic radiation with an operating wavelength ?<260 nm. The projection lens includes a multiplicity of lens elements and a multiplicity of mirrors including at least one concave mirror. The lens elements and mirrors define a projection beam path that extends from the object plane to the image plane and contains at least one pupil plane. The mirrors include a first mirror having a first mirror surface in the projection beam path between the object and pupil planes in the optical vicinity of a first field plane optically conjugate to the object plane. The mirrors also include a second mirror having a second mirror surface in the projection beam path between the pupil and image planes in the optical vicinity of a second field plane that is optically conjugate to the first field plane.

  • Patent number: 11354599
    Abstract: A system for generating a data structure using graphical models includes a computing device configured to provide a visual interface configured to provide a plurality of graphical models of a plurality of rule modules and receive a relational identification of at least a graphical representation of the plurality of graphical models, the relational indication including at least an entry indication and at least an exit indication, to convert the relational identification into at least a decision tree having at least a root node corresponding and at least a terminal node, to train a machine-learning model to match execution parameters to the at least a root node, and to generate an execution result interface configured to receive at least an execution parameter, map it to the at least a root node using the machine-learning model, and generate an execution result at the at least a terminal node.

  • Publication number: 20120021880
    Abstract: A tool changer has two changer module parts that can be coupled with one another. Each module part includes an attachment part and at least one coupling part associated with the attachment part. An adapter plate, including multiple fastening areas, is equipped with a desired number of changer module parts. The adapter plate is removable associated with each of the changer module parts on the attachment part side.
