Patent number: 8222621Abstract: In a maskless particle multibeam processing apparatus, a particle beam is projected through a pattern definition system producing a regular array of beamlets according to a desired pattern, which is projected onto a target which moves at continuous speed along a scanning direction with respect to the pattern definition system. During a sequence of uniformly timed exposure steps the beam image is moved along with the target along the scanning direction, and between exposure steps the location of the beam image is changed with respect to the target. During each exposure step the target covers a distance greater than the mutual distance of neighboring image elements on the target.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: IMS Nanofabrication AGInventors: Heinrich Fragner, Elmar Platzgummer, Robert Nowak, Adrian Bürli

Patent number: 7857252Abstract: A hub fairing system (12) for a stopped-rotor aircraft (10) having a fuselage (14) including a hub (16). The hub (16) is mechanically coupled to the fuselage (14) and to multiple blades (40) and is rotated by an engine (22). A retractable fairing (60, 64) covers a portion of the hub (16). An actuator (26) is coupled to the fairing (60, 64). A controller (28) is coupled to the actuator (26) and retracts the fairing (60, 64). A method of reducing drag on the aircraft includes transitioning between a rotary-wing mode and a fixed-wing mode.

Patent number: 7772574Abstract: In a pattern-lock system of particle-beam apparatus wherein the imaging of the pattern is done by means of at least two consecutive projector stages of the projecting system, reference marks are imaged upon registering means to determine the position of the particle-beam, at the location of an intermediary image of the reference marks produced by a non-final projector stage, with the registering means being positioned at locations of nominal positions of an intermediary imaging plane. Furthermore, to produce a scanning movement over the registering means the reference beamlets are shifted laterally by means of deflector means provided in the pattern defining means in dependence of a time-dependent electric voltage.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: IMS Nanofabrication AGInventors: Gerhard Stengl, Herbert Buschbeck, Robert Nowak

Patent number: 7388217Abstract: In a particle-optical projection system a pattern is imaged onto a target by means of energetic electrically charged particles. The pattern is represented in a patterned beam of said charged particles emerging from the object plane through at least one cross-over; it is imaged into an image with a given size and distortion. To compensate for the Z-deviation of the image position from the actual positioning of the target (Z denotes an axial coordinate substantially parallel to the optical axis), without changing the size of the image, the system includes a position detector for measuring the Z-position of several locations of the target, and a controller for calculating modifications of selected lens parameters of the final particle-optical lens and controlling said lens parameters according to said modifications.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2007Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: IMS Nanofabrication GmbHInventors: Herbert Buschbeck, Gertraud Lammer, Alfred Chalupka, Robert Nowak, Elmar Platzgummer, Gerhard Stengl

Publication number: 20080020055Abstract: The invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising phenylephrine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an erodible layer which is for oral administration wherein the composition delivers phenylephrine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof via absorption in the colon. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a core comprising phenylephrine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an erodible layer which is in a time-dependent, pH-dependent, or colon-specific enzyme-dependent erodible layer that degrades to expose the core to release phenylephrine in the colon. In one preferred embodiment, the erodible layer encases the core. The composition optionally further comprises phenylephrine in the erodible layer or other additional layer(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Inventors: David Monteith, John O'Mullane, Joseph Reo, Robert Nowak, Jiansheng Wan, Mohammed Kabir, Malaz Abutarif, Glenn Fritz
