  • Publication number: 20240361701
    Abstract: A method of inspecting an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation source includes, in an idle mode, inserting a borescope mounted on a fixture through a first opening into a chamber of the EUV radiation source. The borescope includes a connection cable attached at a first end to a camera. The EUV radiation source includes an excitation laser that generates a light beam that is configured to focus onto tin droplets to generate EUV radiation inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source. The method further includes extending the extendible section, in a direction toward the second opening of the EUV radiation source, to move the camera beyond the blocking shield, and acquiring one or more images from a region beyond the blocking shield. The method also includes analyzing the one or more acquired images to determine an amount of tin debris deposited inside the chamber of the EUV radiation source.

  • Patent number: 8444928
    Abstract: A method for treating waste water is provided, in which a wastewater is treated through a distilling process to obtain a distilled liquid, and then a reactant is added into the distilled liquid during the distilled liquid flowing to a liquid collecting tank, such that the reactant reacts with the distilled liquid by utilizing the residual temperature of the distilled liquid to form a processed liquid. Meanwhile, a system for wastewater treatment is also provided, which includes a distillation unit, a guiding unit, a means for adding the reactant, and a collecting unit. Since the present invention utilizes the residual temperature of the distilled liquid for the need of the reaction, an additional heat source is unnecessary, such that the consumption of energy can be greatly reduced.

  • Patent number: 5813808
    Abstract: A forward and reverse expanding type expansion screw has a bolt, a nut, a forward expanding plug, a retaining tapered ring, and a backward expanding plug. By inserting the bolt through the forward expanding plug, the retaining tapered ring and the reverse expanding plug in order, the expansion screw can be inserted into a wall hole, the bolt can be driven to lock to the nut, the reverse expanding plug first expanding in the reverse direction by a pushing effect caused by the retaining tapered ring, and then the forward expanding plug is pushed forward and expanded in the forward direction. By expanding in opposite directions a cross expanding and squeezing effect is achieved to provide a very stable securing effect. A two-way sleeve and connecting sleeves may be further connected to provide fixed points for the expansion of the plugs and to extend the length of the expansion screw to meet different requirements.
