Abstract: Impurities in a liquefied solid fuel utilized in a droplet generator of an extreme ultraviolet photolithography system are removed from vessels containing the liquefied solid fuel. Removal of the impurities increases the stability and predictability of droplet formation which positively impacts wafer yield and droplet generator lifetime.

Abstract: An optical network routing device, which is disposed outside a space surrounded by walls, includes an optical transceiver, an optical-to-electrical signal converter and at least one first telecommunication signal port. The optical transceiver is configured to receive an optical signal. The optical-to-electrical signal converter is connected to the optical transceiver and is configured to convert the optical signal into an telecommunication signal. The at least one first telecommunication signal port is connected to the optical-to-electrical signal converter for transmitting the telecommunication signal to at least one second telecommunication signal port located in the space, wherein the at least one first telecommunication signal port complies with a home network communication protocol corresponding to the at least one second telecommunication signal port.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector assembly includes a coupler defining an inner channel extending through the coupler and an outer conductor engagement feature extending inwardly from the inner channel, a rear body, positioned rearward of the coupler, defining a cable channel extending through the rear body, and structurally configured to receive the coaxial cable, and an adhesive reservoir positioned at least partially within the cable channel of the rear body, the adhesive reservoir including an adhesive and an adhesive reservoir breakable material that encapsulates the adhesive, where the adhesive reservoir breakable material is structurally configured to fracture upon the application of force exceeding a predetermined threshold, thereby releasing the adhesive from the adhesive reservoir to adhesively couple the coaxial cable to the rear body.

Abstract: A shielding device includes an upper cover and a lower frame. The upper cover is formed at predetermined positions with a plurality of shielding elements. When the upper cover is closed onto the lower frame, the shielding elements block clearances on the upper cover to effectively stop electric waves from entering into and leaking from the shielding device via the clearances on the upper cover.
